my movies

i am contantly accused of naming so many movies as my all time favourite movie. the fact is that movies have proved to be my real source of literature. whatever little i know of in life i qwe a chunk of it to cinema. also at the risk of blowing my own trumpet i ould like to say that i have a decent understanding of cinema as i am able to really connect with the characters and understand them. also when i calla movie my favourite a lot depends on the state of mind that i was in and the effect it caused to me. so of the movie i swear by are the ones that i have seen only once and don' remember much of it now but the fact is that while i had seen it it caused a lasting impression on me and moved something strongly within me. the list below is definetely not in order and is surely not exhaustive.i keep on addingto the list as i come across a gem worthy a mention here. a man is known by the company he keeps and the tatse he possesses. perhaps these movies reveal a bit of my character.

love

prologue: love being a feeling is incapable of being defined in an absolute or universal form. its like a liquid and takes the form of the vessel in which it is poured. its vastness cannot be contained by a mere use of words. being a state of mind and soul there can only be attempts to explain to an individual by comparing with an experience he/she might have undergone. most of us often understand it by confining it to romantic love and its like. the domain of love is much much wider to be dominated by a singular aspect. it perhaps include everything in some form or the other. on being asked to describe it everyone tends to illustrate only what they would do or what they feel on being in love. its fair enough considering that every individual is unique and capable of feeling differently. heres an attempt by me to summarise my feelings and understanding of it love it is the dreamless sleep it is the touch of the orange pudding with the tongue it is the perfect drive towards cover it is ...

her hand reached out to hit the “snooze”.but she had woken up.she considered going back to sleep again. the body seemed tired. not by any physical strain but more from the stress and the confusion of the past few days and the events it had brought with it.a voice in her head said feebly that she should get out of the bed and go for her jog , a ritual she always made a point of not missing. its been 3 days since she went out. Literally dragging her large slender frame out of the blanket she stood up and gave out a long silent yawn. Fifteen minutes later she was on her porch , stretching her body, trying to bring some energy in her limbs. It was a beautiful morning, she thought, breathing in the fresh cool air. She could see the faint orange of the sun lurking behind the dark morning cloud. She loved the sun. she gave away a smile. Couple of minutes later, short strides of a beautiful pair of legs were hitting the concrete of the footpath. Her ipod was set on the usual...

Sunshine

He had never seen a sunrise. That was the thought he woke up to. Surprisingly it was a very sound sleep. He had not slept like that since "that day". He was dreaming about his mother. He was a child again and was playing in the silent house on a hot afternoon. Suddenly he missed his mother and went to the room where she was taking her afternoon nap with her long dark hair dangling from the side of the bed. He went and just lay by her side and he was in the safest place in the world. Then he woke up with a jolt. He wondered why he hasn't seen a sunrise ever especially considering that he prided himself being a nocturnal. He has ofcourse seen it on t.v. and had always being intrigued by it. It was one event that happened every day of his longish life. It was an event that happened irrespective of where he was, yet he never saw it. That is how he lived his life. Taking every thing for granted. Thinking there was enough time for him to do things. But there wasn't. Not a...
