i have tonnes of things to do....to straighten up....in my mind and otherwise too.......i realise that i am liking my solitary state...there are times when i wish i could be like that for longer periods of time....i am beginning to crab out when there are people around me....is this good or bad?? i realise that i can do exactly what i want when i am with myself......this week and the next always seem like the fastest ones to pass...when there are tonnes of things to do.....
i have made lists and then some....but i can never seem to go9 about them like i have planned out....the plans seem perfect on paper and perhaps thats where they shall remain!! the newspaper i spread out on the counter to catch spills while i am working always seems to have the one interesting article i missed out.....one thing leads to another and i lose track of what i set out to do....is this a span of attention issue?? i dont know.....i have christmas cards to make and post, the tree to put up, decorations to hang, a party to plan for, clothes to be tailored before the 24th...tickets to book, people to meet....and what am i doing?? reading the newspaper spread on the counter top!! yesterday this happened and i felt like the time when i was in school....the day before the exam is the day i want to organise and dust my study table and books...spend half the day doing that, then catch a nap that i cant wake up from and then panic.....
i watched "kabul express" yesterday....it was such a dissappointment......this was one that was on the airwaves for such a long time that it had to have me watch it first day albeit second show.....firstly let me say that maybe yashraj films publicity blitzkreig assaulted my senses to the extent that i expected a masterpeice....fault number one of my high expectations is something that i shall admit to......the cinematography is breathtaking.....the ravages of war make you cringe......but it ends there.....any thing else that you are looking for will not oblige you with its presence......firstly the script.....what was the writer thinking about?? in an attempt to give a human face to its characters, taliban, journos etc they make comic characters that are as out of place as noodles at MTR's...the corny one liners are so artificial and the most chilling opportunities are passed up for nonsensical dialogue......john abraham is seriously misplaced and has the same expression he had all thru a movie called garam masala....he looks and acts like the class dunce......arshad warsi is as good as the director wants him to be.....in the end you dont have an issue, you dont tackle one, you dont get your hands dirty, you fall flat on your face....and no there's no osama....the claims of which is what perhaps brought audiences into the theatre.....and no the attempt is not enough......to translate something of this satture onto the big screen and make sense of it all is clearly out of kabir khan's league......he doesnt know what he wants to present.....looks like all he did was googled for taliban and made a movie based on the search results......he needs to train with the most average director making documentaries for discovery or history or the natgeo channels to know what kind of research goes into tackling an issue of this sort.....of mounting a movie on it....pathetic....makes you sick.....its a joke......i must say that the producers have done a good job of selling the movie though.....thats why we bought tickets in the first place....but they'll get what they deserve......empty halls by monday morning.....this express aint getting anywhere....
