Barfi!

Movie Review #1

Caught this Hindi movie called Barfi yesterday. Now I don't speak a word of Hindi. English is my one and only language so I thank the movie gods for subtitles.

"Set in the 1970s in a pretty corner of India, Barfi! is the story of three young people who learn that love can neither be defined nor contained by society's norms of normal and abnormal. Barfi, a hearing and speech impaired boy falls in love with Shruti. In spite of her deep affection for Barfii, Shruti gives into societal and parental pressure to marry a 'normal' man and lead a 'normal' life. Many years later their paths cross once again when Barfi, now in love with Jhilmil, is on the run from the police. Barfi is desperately seeking Jhilmil, who has gone missing. Shruti's realization that Jhilmil is autistic makes her recognize that true love is really blind. Caught in a cat and mouse game, in the search for the girl Barfi loves, Shruti realizes that she is still in love with him. She must now choose between her happiness and Barfi! stars three of India's most loved young stars, all essaying roles of a lifetime." - IMDB

This movie was amazing to say the least. It was equal parts funny and equal parts heart-warming. To see a love triangle that is based on pure love and no games being played is refreshing. There's no jealousy games, no 'playing hard to get' games or any of the usual things you see in movies.

Though I think with the character of Jhilmil they sorta got confused with the idea of autistism and mixed up with dyslexia and ADHD but I'm a psych student so things like that pop out for me. Other than that it's a pretty damn good movie.

I'd recommend anyone!

I am waiting for my Glee episode to load and I was like - I have nothing to do, I should blog. Because I know if I don't there won't be any more posts here 'cos I'm just that damn lazy. I am. I really am. I move all the stuff that I figure I need to use to my bed because it's too comfy to leave.

But that aside, I have a good reason to lolly-gag and laze around. Exams are over baby! Free to do whatever the hell I want. And what I want to do is to sleep. As much as I can. Well no. But I do want to make up for all the hours I lost while I was pouring over textbooks and notes.

I do wanna bake more this holidays. I used to be so into it. Every weekend you'd see me in the kitchen whipping up something new. But then school got in the way. Damn you school. So I shall start next week with Bread Pudding. It just too coincidental that every time I turn on Food Network, over the past 2 weeks, at least one person a day is making Bread Pudding. It's a sign I tell ya.

Okayyyy so I just checked on my Glee and it has another 15% to go. I'm not gonna wait up. I'm gonna sleep and watch it tomorrow.

Oh yes, I should mention. In 9 days I'll be in Melbourne, Australia. I cannot wait! More on that tomorrow! And if I remember (and feel like it) a review on the season premier of Grey's Anatomy. The show that left be crying like a baby.

Ta!

Welcome Welcome...

So....

I've been bugging myself to find some way to take my views and frustrations on the world out in a form that would harm no one I know.

I figured blogging would be the best option. That is only if no one I know comes across this blog. Whatever is said in this blog, stays in this blog - capiche?

 But I guess I could have waited till after my exam tomorrow to start blogging?

I am obviously on team procrastination.

Tomorrow's my last exam before I go into my final year of college. Scary huh? I only started school a year go and a year from now I could be graduating with my degree.

Plus tomorrow's Stats 3 paper. I have a love/hate relationship with stats. I love it 'cos that moment it clicks in my brain and I get it I see the fun in doing but there's always a problem. No matter how confident I am that I know my stuff or how good a job I've done I can never score. Thus, love/hate relationship.

The 2nd most important thing in my life, after studies...oh who am I kidding. TV and it's shows are the most important thing that gets me through every fall till spring. And the end of September and beginning of October are my favourite months. All the Fall Premiers...well premier.

So far Glee, Bones, How I Met Your Mother, 2 Broke Girls, Hawaii 5-0, Castle, NCIS, NCIS:LA, New Girl,  Private Practice and Criminal Minds have premiered with their new seasons. As for new comers, I'm liking Partners which stars Michael Urie and Sophia Bush.

And how can I not mention the many shows that I am looking forward too! Once Upon a Time, Revenge, Hart of Dixie, Supernatural (Side - Jensel Ackles!), Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, Whitney and Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23. And Arrow which is a new series based of Green Arrow comic series.

So yeah, this is me. My life pretty much revolves around school and TV. But hey I do have a life too. I have friends and I party occasionally but nothing beats losing myself in a good show or a good book or a good movie. (Side - Maybe I'll do a post on my favorite books. Where do I begin....)

I love the feeling of getting to know a character and the intricate webs of their lives and just getting sucked into the drama of the drama.

But enough about that.

Yeah. I should get back to studying for my paper tomorrow. Seriously the person who names all these statistical tests should be stoned.

Ta for now I guess!
