Thank you for the tiny joys,
A pleasant hug,
A knowing smile,
The ring of bells,
The dewy sunlight.
The chime of china,
That laughter surprise.
That sleepy toddler,
That silent night.
The love of a man,
That care of a child.
The singing of a bird,
That swatter of flies.
The light blowing breeze,
That coffee of mine.
The waiting lift,
That green light.
The unknown treat,
Of not waiting in line.
That uneventful day,
That calm concise.
Those flickering candles,
That romantic night.
The love in the eyes,
Of my little canine.
That comfort of a blanket,
On a snowy night.
That touch of a hand,
Wiping your eyes.
That moment of light,
That unknown delight.
That answer to a dilemma,
Wrapped up in life.
For all there is in the world to see,
I thank you lord for those little joys of life..!!
He is like my lollipop mountain,
And I like a child kept at bay.
He is like a big pink balloon,
And me a tiny girl in pigtails.
He is like a bouquet of flowers,
And I a bride in a veil.
He is like my ink in blue,
And I like a dried out fountain.
He is like my penicillin drug,
And I a child caught in a plague.
He is like a breath of air,
And me an asphyxiated slave.
He is like that smile on my lips,
When I behold his lovely face.
There is a spring in my steps
And a song in my heart,
And my eyes twinkling today,
And my heart feels rejuvenation,
When I hear his footfalls come my way..
If after wayward reviews you did muster the courage to actually go and watch I hate love stories, then you and I will have a lot to talk about. However, for all those who were blessed enough to be spared the torment of actually spending on the movie fare, you might want to read the review first.
Opening the movie to a monologue by Imran Khan that just doesn’t seem to end made a lot of people groan, due to poor dialogue delivery and a flimsy script. However, after the few initial minutes the length of the monologue dwindles and the audiences feels a little lighter as some moments of fun come around. The script has a sprinkling of some mimed funny scenes which make the audience laugh every now and then.
The performances are slightly marred by the poor dialogues written for the film. Also, the cameraman has done a few lousy scenes where pan shots that move to a close up seem to be blurred. However there are some great landscape shots of the scenic beauty of
The movie turns out to be more of a spoof on the typical romances of the forever romantic Karan Johar, with Imran Khan doing it all from singing, moping, running around air ports and first rejecting the “in love” Sonam Kapoor and then being rejected by her in the next leap.
However, Vishal and Shekhar have done an outstanding job with the music, with some feet tapping and some emotional numbers, which play throughout the movie.
Well, 2 stars for the movie, due to its weak plot, inadequate dialogue and not very spectacular performances. To be fair to Punit Malhotra, the first time director has done an over all good job with the movie. Still, it would be a better suggestion to view the movie at home after the DVD release then spending on PVR tickets.
Since when have you been trying to push yourself and your kids away from the McDonalds next door to something more fruitful if not all that gratifying to the tongue?
This work is a small take on the eating habits and trends of the people in the NCR region of the country. See where you can place yourself in this list. Let’s pick this up one category at a time.
If you are a modern mother living here for a few years then I think the last year finally struck a chord inside you to try some probationary measures with yourself and your kids, and make the menu comprise more of organic and healthy food and cut down on the fast food.
If you are teenager brought up here and has been allowed to devour junk for the first few years after your continued insistence to do so, then I think this year you or your family finally started noticing your imbalanced diet and lack of proper supplements.
Now, let’s take up the case of people who have shifted to the NCR from smaller towns and cities within the last couple of years to study and work. After binging on this junk diet for an year or two you tend to notice that your belly is now officially bulging out from your happily low jeans. This is the time when you finally try some abstinence of cutting it down by a couple of degrees, because you can’t exactly vanish it from your menu because you are here alone and cooking isn’t exactly your forte.
Next in line are newlyweds who are actually still enjoying the old flavour of fast food because your pretty wife will not be saying or objecting much on your eating habits for an year or two and neither will you. Who objects to going out every other day and enjoying the love in a nice restaurant?
Facing some serious opposition are husbands who have had a longer tenure of something more than four or five years, and have one or two small monsters roaming around the house. The newlywed fever is long gone and wives don’t want you getting the little ones into the habit of junk. So either they have to kiss their KFC chicken buckets and Chinese goodbye or make them a hidden guilty pleasure from their wives indulged only out of the house and in company of similarly tormented men.
Obviously there is another category of happy go lucky people with no regard for the huge bills or their huge belly, and they munch till they drop. That is a little anti social but never the less, very gratifying.
A very significant other category, who are one of the major consumers of fast food chains are students studying in colleges with their major pastime being hanging around with friends. The time spend is equally proportional to the food intake as you can’t sit around and talk with a parched throat or an empty stomach.
We’ll keep up the junk talk but I think talking about it just worked up my cravings. So I will catch up with you with some spicy gossip next time.
