Of victories and distorted images

Had a great weekend first watch a refreshing movie, one of the latest hindi movie flicks Jaane Tu... ya Jaane Na and later followed to watch the spectacular game of the Wimbledon finals. One relaxing and a fun-watch, the other nail biting at ensuring that you remain at the edge of your seat till the tail end of the game.

Though the film was a refreshing watch, it was very raw with several characters left at loose ends within the film. At several shots, the camera work was seen to be very amateurish. On the other hand, the music of the film has been an undoubted winner. Keeping the technicals apart, kudos to the first timers. I've personally always appreciated and loved first times as they have a charm about themselves, anyways talking about that some other time. Special mention to Babbar boy and the red-haired friend who within their short period of screen time managed to leave a mark on the viewer, at least on me.

The game was spectacular with both Nadal and Federer ensuring that you watch it to the last shot. Though Federer hit some marvellous aces, I sincerely felt that he wasn't in the best of his spirits in the game. He fought till the last game for a win but was evidently not playing with his aura and style. On the other hand, no one deserved the win more than Nadal for his brilliant display of energy on the field.

All in all a relaxing weekend with victories ensuring you push yourself harder to acheive the unattainable as nothing really is beyond your reach; as also with the distorted images of the raw characters in the movie.

Trying new waters

Variety may be the spice of life but as humans we will always be skeptical to try new waters, deal with change and accept them. On the other hand, the same human beings hate monotony and do like to venture out of their shells to experience new things.

Well, so have I. After blogging in a different link for about three years, I decided that it was time to eliminate the old and go for something new. I want to explore. I want to unwind. Care a damn about the world and yet express everything that this damned world doesn't allow you to.

And so, without second thoughts, with one hand in my pocket and the other giving a high five, I am moving out... away from the beloved, to a zone of anonymity, to experience change and to stare at it in the eye and prove that I can survive.
