Was she Shobhana ??

I saw the South Indian Shobhana today … and the fun is she even refused to acknowledge.

It seems she was staying in the same hotel as mine and the same floor as mine. I was going out for dinner and I saw a lady with a huge bag at the elevator. I held the door for her so that she and 2 of her companion's could get in with their luggage. The elevator door closed and that's when I saw the face of the lady. It seemed very familiar and IU remarked "You look like an actress"

What I heard then surprised me. She remarked pointing to the other girl accompanying her, "Really. Does this other girl also look like an actress?" in an almost rude tone. I just shook my head and did not say anything.

A gentleman as I am, I held the door again for them as they got out of the elevator with their luggage. Overtook them on the way to the hotel reception and looked back at her.

She was definitely Shobhana. At least I am sure of it.

I have seen a few of her movies and always found her very beautiful and a talented actress. Now, I will never be able to see her in the same way again. I will now forever be negatively biased.

She just lost a fan today. And his respect for her too.

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
