Love Aaj kal

Love and Logic never go together! Imtiaz Ali wrote and directed a beautiful movie based on this fact(?). The way he has blended the so-called practical modern love story with the mad intinct like old love story is simply superb. A beautiful script! The break-up scene early in the movie, the honest interactions between Saif and Deepika throught it, Rishi Kapoor's dialogues on the madness component in love were all so beautifully written and directed. Kudos to dialogues like "Senti ho gayi main" and "Dekho main pile on nahi karna chahta".
Perhaps, the best album of 2009 when it comes to music and lyrics. In "Chor-Bazaari", it has given Bollywood the first break-up song in its long history. Other songs also go along with the script rather than allowing the audience to empty their bladders in the middle of the movie.
And when it comes to the movie climax. Whether being practical about long-term relationships is possible? Whether the happiness you get after fulfilling your most cherished dreams in life will be incomplete unless you have that special someone to share it with? This stuff will always be open for debate. But THE Hero has to get HIS Heroine at the end of movie right? Otherwise how will phrases like "When everything feels like the movies" be true!

Confessions of a Programmer!

Today afternoon, the whole world around me was focused on the longest solar eclipse of the century. Amidst this chaos, I was busy using Eclipse to unravel the mysteries of a small C++ project sitting in one small corner of this world.
And that's where my solace comes from. Although my life continues to be in a state of deadlock, I still love what I do to earn a living!
