Two months is what it took me to get my new phone the Nokia E 50 back. I remember losing it on the 13 Jan 07 and I got it back on the 13 Mar 07.
This was my first experience with day light robbery, dealing with the police, giving a complaint, and walking into a magistrate court to reclaim my belongings. What an experience! I quite learnt the way this system works! Not only my phone, I also got the cash which was stolen from me. (Yes, the judiciary is corrupt!)
India is improving!
Anyways, February is the Oscars month, and I quite managed to see quite a lot of the nominated movies this time around! I managed to see.
1. Blood Diamond
2. The Departed
3. The Persuit Of Happyness
4. The Last King of Scotland
5. Water
The departed was awesome, deserved the best picture. I still cannot figure out why the best actor in a leading role was given for the Last King of Scotland, it was a very OK one for me! One movie I really wished and thought would really win the Oscars this time was Deepa Mehta’s Water. This movie particularly has a well penned storyline and mind blowing performances. The young child who plays a widow is captivating! (What was the hue and cry over this movie all about?) Kudos to Deepa Mehta on delivering such a classic!
I also managed to watch the following movies apart from the above mentioned five:
1. Traffic Signal
2. Paruthiveeran
3. Mozhi
4. Amores Perros
5. The Motorcycle Diaries
6. 21 Grams
All the six were worth a watch or more, Traffic Signal was a movie which I wanted to watch a long time back, however could not! I guess films like these can be the Indian nominations at the Oscars in the coming years, very realistic without much hype and masala.
Till Then!
