The Dictator and MIB 3
The moment you enjoy something that is not your ‘type’, instead of doubting your changing tastes, it makes sense to think that the list of things that make you happy is expanding. Why am I starting with almost pretentious words when the things I want to talk about are movies (obviously). No, I’m not talking [...]
How small is Liechtenstein after all?
There is a strange excitement that precedes a trip, long or short. Yet, these days everything looks the same. Probably it is the strict intension of finding something different about everything and everywhere and versatility of the continent that keeps us going. So living in Europe we started off with the usual, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, [...]
The need for everyone to be satirical all the time…
So, Bayern Munich lost in the champions league final. That’s just sports. Euro zone is in big trouble. When have they not had trouble? Remember the first half of the 20th century? Shahrukh Khan is losing it all or has he already lost it? Aishwarya Rai is not losing it, or so they say. Frankly [...]
The best time to be a student and the worst time too.
A couple of cousins just had their board exam results in Gujarat. And one of them, a school topper has taken a tumble. Not that she has failed, but a mediocre result in a decisive school year can leave you in a lurch. She is a smart girl and her bright future definitely does not [...]
Doing something vs. Being someone
‘The Iron Lady’, a mediocre biopic with superlative acting, at least left one strong impression in my mind. Thatcher tells a fan who wants to be like her something to this effect: In our times, it was about doing something, now it is all about being someone. We generally associate such sentiments with people who [...]
Time is impatient….A Haiku poem.
Brushing up this website, I realized I haven’t written a poem in a long time. It doesn’t mean I’ve to rush into anything. But one side of my mind wanted me not to write, and the other was desperate. It resulted in this small little Haiku. Here you go: Time is impatient. It has to [...]
An old lady with lilacs
Don’t get me started on how much Germans love their Beer fests. We spent first two years just circling the festival area, eating chocolate fruits and took an occasional roller coaster. The ride really began when we found some like minded friends and we entered ‘the tent’. Imagine a few thousand people standing and dancing [...]
Agent Vinod
There are times when you watch the movie first and read the reviews later. I did that for Agent Vinod and realized that all the major reviewers have taken the movie too seriously. I had no expectations from the movie, but it had some really good sparks. There is a very strict, conventional story arc [...]
ein Stück Johannisbeerekuchen bitte…
Very few people need a reason to eat a piece of cake. I am not one of them. However, today I had one. Reason or not, I’ve easy access to delicious cakes and pies these days in Degerloch. Often in the afternoons when I’m done with my work, I glance out of my window and [...]
Hugo
I didn’t want to expect much from Hugo. I was biased. After an overdose of fantasy literature and movies, the trailers and a comment from one Daniel Radcliffe about the Oscar snub of Harry Potter movies threw me even farther from watching Hugo. And yet, there were a few reasons to watch the movies. Those [...]
