Om Shanti Om - Worth watching

This is my first movie in Singapore. I went to movie with slightly lower expectation after my experience with earlier Farah Khan movie "Main Hoon Naa", but I was completely amazed watching this movie. Shahrukh steals the show with his acting and comic timing, Deepika looks fresh and glamourous. Other actors have done decent job to cop up with Shahrukh. Last but not least, a huge applaud for Farah Khan, she has really improved significantly after her first movie. Right from start of the movie till the end where titles are shown there is no where that we get bored in the movie.

The movie starts 30 years back (1970s), and roams around a Bollywood junior artist Om Prakash Makhija (Isnt it funny name) dreaming of making it big sometime. Love of her life is a super star Shanti Priya, who is already married to Mukesh Mehra, an opportunistic and selfish movie producer. Mukesh has to get rid of Shanti as she is an obstacle for his Hollywood ambitions. Om dies trying to save Shanti, and reborn as a son of another superstar Rajesh Kapoor. The second part is more or less borrowed from Karz, but with few twists.

Although the story is not new, there are enough surprises and amazing dialogues that you will not have chance to find any flaw in the story. Go and watch this very well packaged movie with superb acting, well timed comedy, rocking music, glamour, masala and of course Shahrukh khan. The best dialogue I liked in the movie is "Enna Rascalaaaa .. Mind it". So do watch the movie "Mind it".

My Sisters Wedding

We were talking in the office this morning about people that we can share anything with, people who will listen and not judge, and most of the group talked about therapists and support groups. I didn't say much, but I kept thinking of the one person in the world I can talk to about anything, and that is my sweet little sister Dolly.

It really says something about a person when they can love you and accept you, warts and all, the way she does. While I falter and tend to see the warts, she sees the person. She would not say that she is perfect, but she has mastered the art of loving people unconditionally without comprising her principles in a way I cannot say I have. She says that she just wants to "be good to other people and listens to all the things they say" and I believe she truly strives to meet that gold standard in everything she does.

Day after tomorrow she is getting married and would leave us all for good. She is going to Sweden and this is the first time she is going away from home and family. I hope she gets all the happiness in the world.

Thank you, Doll, for being not only my sister, but my friend as well. I love you!
