Breaking the (movies) spell ...

Breaking the long spell of not watching any movie in the theatres was a week where I saw not one but 2 movies … one in Sharjah and another one in Dubai !



The first one was Dum Maro Dum … saw it in Mega Mall in Sharjah. It was a weekend and we decided to catch a movie. Went to the Mega Mall and found DMD as the only hindi option. Saw it.


The second one was Scream 4 at The Dubai Mall. This one was unplanned, unexpected. Won the tickets to the premiere show through facebook  The movie is being released here in Dubai on 5th May and Reel Cinemas were having a special premiere screening of the movie for a select audience on 25th April (almost 10 days in advance) …


So now that the spell is broken and I have seen the first 2 movies in this year (in theatres, that is) … lets see when do the next ones come up  Hopefully immediately in May !

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
