The Koskers is Back.:

The Koskers is Back.: After a Long time I find the pleasure to present the Koskers for you. Here are the nominations.

Namesake the movie : The movie that I was longing to watch since Months, finally the VCDs and the DVDs were out in the market, I was probably one of the very first ones to have grabbed a Print. The movie is good for those who haven’t read the Book. A lot of moments in the Book were missing in the movie. Like the Father-Son relationship was not well shown in the movie the way it was in the book. Anyways a good movie and we can call it a version of Mira Nair.

Ek Challis Ki Last Local: A good movie that was stretched , could have been better cutting down a few scenes here and there . A one time watch, with some good music. The movie revolves around a youth who is a call center employee dreaming big but, finds fortune one night after he is stranded missing the last local train. The performances were good, especially by Neha Dhupia and Abhay Deol.

Rattouille: An animation presented by none other than Waltz Disney. A great movie with a matured story that entertains all the age group and moves an adult into tears. With a profound thought behind the concept, I must admit that if bollywood has moved a step further towards improvement in quality of film making; Hollywood is nowhere stagnant, that is improving too. It’s a story about a Rat who has a god’s gift of Smell and an ability to cook, one who is immensely inspired by a renowned Chef from Paris. After a playful and living over the edge life at a small village, lands up at Paris due to an accident and finds himself in the restaurant of his Idol, The idol is not alive any more but is alive in the rat’s mind as an inspiration. The inspiration leads the Rat to the Chef’s abandoned son who is suffering from poverty and is the garbage boy at the same restaurant, helps him gain a position in the restaurant and recreate all the hidden and forgotten recipes of his Idol Chef., winning back appreciations from all the critics all over the world, but like every story has a Hero has a villain too , similarly this one has a villain who wants to hide the will written by the deceased according to which the ownership of the restaurant is supposed to be transferred to the boy presumably the son of the Chef. The Boy gets the ownership of the restaurant with the help of the Rat and also wins the heart of all the critics. The Best moment of the film is when the Critic Egor is reminded of his childhood and his mother after he tastes the special recipe that he orders with an intention to pull down the image of the restaurant and that also results in transformation of the character from evil to good unlike other animation of physically destroying the evil, Evil is a state of mind that can be killed and destroyed in one’s mind and not physically, one physical destruction will give birth to several evil mentality. The Movie is so well made that after coming out of the theater one doesn’t feel that he has watched an animated film, it just leaves an impression behind of a film that is so true, and has a profound meaning, that teaches and inspires you to follow your dreams and restores your faith in destiny.

Nothing else can I think of apart from movies, but the above mentiuoned are the best I have watched. So the award Goes to The Rat “ Rattoullie” Whooopppieee.

With the Start of EPL and the Spanish La Liga, the competition gets tougher from coming weeks.

I Am Back Driving Down The Lane!

A friend of mine has proudly announced herself to be a lazy Blogger, which quite implies a lot to me : yes, I am back after a long time with a bit of self improvement, and a slight sharpening of the tongue, like the way I used to be once upon a time. I am not a people pleaser anymore, but I do tend to hurt people, then I regret hurting them. The problem with me is I have a soft heart but a sharp tongue, a terrible combination to possess. Anyways forgetting what has happened in the past and remembering only the lessons learnt from them I am writing a new story altogether, . The start has been pretty good, with me getting my Mark sheets of my Bachelor’s degree, though they are not of my credit, some how I get a feeling that I have half the battle won, I will definitely get the degree with my own credentials, just waiting to amend certain things first. Got my Pet (My Computer) Repaired the last week, and I feel the other Quarter of the Battle is won. Now I just have to erect my finances, which of course will take some time. But the quality that I have learnt from one of my Maths Teachers is “Patience” for which I have worked hard. I hope this patience and hard work pays.

Since last one year weekends or Sundays were meant to stay back home, listening to some good old retro music and surfing the net and last but not the least avoiding all the calls whether from Friends Or foes or the solicitators. Yesterday I did something a little different from what I haven’t done since last several months and that I would love to do every weekends, Drive down all the way down till Churchgate with friends, watch a great movie at an old theatre, and spend some time at Worli sea face eating hot Kebabs and smoking Cigarettes, the only thing which was missing was a bottle of Bear or a Peg of Whisky and of course a wonderful Dinner. We did not have enough time to do all that were missing. But still , it was an Ideal Sunday for me. I also got a chance to peek in to my Past as I had to wait in front of the ‘Ruia College’ where I have studied , and I could see those lanes where I have Dreamt those unfulfilled dreams walking on the. The lanes were not empty, there was some one else instead.

As we drove down to the Town, we could see the empty and clean streets, shaded by huge trees and great architectures, which we would not have seen other wise, The same places that are normally Crowded with Traffic and people were empty and were wetted by the drizzles. It’s really a treat to watch them; Probable very few people will understand why I like the town area so much. I have something that pulls me over to that place, probably some great memories, and the things that pull me towards that is probably the search of those memories. I dwell too much into past some times, but sweet memories are never to be erased. They are to be endured. After a perfect evening with some great friends with whom I love to be with, I am back with myself and the pet of mine , sharing this experience with my shadow.
