Hmmm

So I was at this wedding and watched in amusement as the couple on stage - squirmed in their flower decked seats when the person raising the toast brought up embarrassing events , winced with the interesting choice of music and looked positively harassed with hordes of aunts exclaiming how time has flown.

Which made me think, how much say does one have with his/her wedding?
And nobody agrees with me when I say marriages are scary.

Vicky Cristy Barcelona

A Wood Allen movie after eons. VCB is the perfect weekend movie. A movie about how to love, how not to love and how any kind of love can blow up in your face. There were two reasons why I loved the movie. The movie shot across amazing locales in Barcelona makes you want to catch the next flight to Spain. It totally justified having Spain on my top ten destinations.


The other reason why I liked the movie was I could in some way see myself in each of the leading ladies.

-The "I want to do things right but should I really" Vicky
-The wild spirited but blundering Cristina.
-And of course Marie Elena who doesnt really know what she wants.

Now being able to relate to Allen's characters is actually a scary thing. But for all his whackiness, Woody allen is a bloody genius.

Twisted love stories and eccentric women aside, VCB is a must watch for its quirky narrative and interesting shots.

The curse of the travel gods

No this is not the review of a B grade horror flick. Its the story of my life. ok atleast of the last few days. Two trips that didnt quite happen. But there were consolation prizes

The first was Hampi. After two months of planning and multiple group emails, the rains played spoilt sport. We did however make it to the beautiful chitradurga fort. The ruins reminded me of a greener Golconda. It was the perfect weather for a trek across the fort - cloudy with a slight drizzle. Of course this also ensured i tumbled down the rocks and dragged a friend with me.


The other "so close yet so far" trip was a drive to Nandi hills. Though we didnt make it to the view point on time, the drive was blog worthy. With the wind in your hair and Lennon in the air, one cant really ask for a better afternoon drive.

Till the god decide to lift the ban on me.

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
