Amazing!

There are things that simply amaze you. You wonder and can't help saying, "How on earth...?". Watching K-PAX was one such wonderful experience. The movie constantly amazes you and makes you ponder, entire story is gripping and I must confess "convincing". Sci flicks DON'T convince me at all, but this one was altogether different. I was bored and on the verge of a night-out, so asked Harsh to suggest a nice movie. He suggested wacthing either "The Wind that shakes the Barley" or "K-Pax". I opted for K-Pax just casually and was really delighted by the movie.

The story is a lot more than sheer exaggeration of Science. It's cinematography at it's best. Simplicity, the elegant convincing force of the dialogues and Kevin Spacey make it a story that's gripping. Based on Gene Brewer's novel, the movie is awe-inspiring and derived out of inherent complexity of life. Story is bound to cheer anybody up, not for it's humour but due to intensity of little tricks it uses for storytelling. It's simply marvellous cinema by Iain Softly.

Looooong Gap!!!

It's been really long since I posted last. As soon as I got rid of 2nd midsems, I headed home for the diwali vacations. And after returning to college, life has been kind of hectic and I'd been too lazy to log in and post. Studies are lind of stagnant now and CAT preperation is also standstill. Let's see how long it takes to return to normalcy. Soon, in less than half a month end semester exams will cast their shadow and I'll definetly have a tough time considering the trifling amount of studies I've done till now.

Just before vacation I read "River of Fire" by Qurratulain Hyder. A quite fine book with a very desriptive and detailed account of North Indian history parellel to it's characters. Descriptions of some worn out (culturally i.e.) cities like Jaunpur, Lucknow etc certainly makes a person who has his roots in that region curious. I'll write about the book in detail some other time. Right now it's getting too late and I must sleep.
