Thanks for smoking . . . . . . definitely not to promote smoking Thank You For Smoking is the comedy from 2006 aimed at people who like to flex their brain muscles, as it tackles taboo subjects ranging from Tobacco campaigning to journalistic mudslinging.It also defines how in this extreme competing world, mortgage(/EMI/Liabilities) have become our virtual boss and for these bosses, how we fall to any level to earn some credit.

My this blog entry especially goes for non Marathi viewers, as most of Marathi viewers must have already seen this movie. This is one of the finest Marathi movies I have seen.Movies like these are very rare to find. Cinematography of movie is excellent. Movie demonstrates high and lows of life of our protagonist Dadasaheb Phalke. Nandu Madhav and Vibhawari Deshapande have done a great job as Mr and Mrs Phalke. How he was devoted to his interest in Filmography. How he sacrificed his everything to chase his interest.  How his wife and children supported him in his journey.Best of the movie is that, it shows all type of emotions joy and sorrows but don't let viewers lose their interest.Even tragic events are treated with light humor but at the same time, the makers are not making fun of the topic.. Harishchandrachi Factory traces Phalke's journey to making his first film, and the hardships he faced while doing it.Some of the scenes are brilliantly directed & very sm...

This weekend, we were in search for peace of mind and my friend asked me, why life always play with us like toys?                             We as humans, walk various paths in our life. We are like an artist in the epic drama of life. During our journey we hear many opinions about life, "LIFE is Tragedy", "LIFE is Frustrating", "LIFE is Exciting", "LIFE is Mystery", "LIFE is puzzle". Everyone reviews life as per his role. Somewhere people strive to stick together while families opposing them. In some other case families want couple to stick together, however couple want break up.There are many who follows "NO MONEY ! NO HONEY !!" principle. There is yet another group of few who build wonders sacrificing most of their wealth in memories of their love.                    As per roles I have portrayed here & as per those which I have observe...

                                    Flow of emotions . . . . . .                  Today is 11th Nov. 2011, a date so famous that whole world has been waiting for it to come. Time is 7:30 in evening & I'm travelling to visit a friend of mine in Pune. To be honest I don't feel anything special today, except enthusiasm of people for time 11:11 (so that date with time would look something like 11-11-2011 11:11).                 I am travelling with sahyadri Express, sitting by window enjoying view of Moon running by my side. Not sure why but I always have fascination toward moon. May be I am moonstruck? Sometime I think, is this the same attraction that so called PARWANA has towards so called KSHAMA or is it different? May be it is similar to what wolf feels towards full moon hence ...
