These days I have a crazy anxiety and the extent of O.C.D has increased multi-times. First time in my life though that these OCD are being accepted world-wide, cleaning hands multiple times, cleaning the doors with Dettol and water, all packets that are brought from outside are wiped and sanitized. The list is cool and endless. Till now OCD, anxieties and worries are not understood very clearly. Anxiety does not mean you are nuts, O.C.D does not mean you need attention. Acceptance by brain and society is required. May be details and my sojourn with these situations on later blogs. Here I am trying to explain a bit about OCD and hope distinction will be understood. Two movie characters we will try to understand. Hope we have seen these two movies, The Rain Man and The Aviator. If not please do watch them. Taking some liberty assuming you would know these characters. Raymond In Rain Man Some people think severe intensity of OCD was displayed in this movie. Dustin Hoffman d

In World War II Italy, British Army nurse Juliette Binoche takes shelter in an abandoned monastery to wait out the conflict's final days. Her patient, horribly disfigured amnesiac Ralph Fiennes, cannot be moved, and she is in retreat not only from the war but from her personal curse: Everyone she loves dies. As the English patient is slowly and painfully compelled to remember his tragic past in pre-war North Africa, the nurse comes to terms with herself and her luck. This heartbreakingly beautiful film, a brilliant adaptation of Michael Ondaatje's equally beautiful novel, is a sort of  Casablanca  for our time.  While  The English Patient  has many of the same ingredients—mysterious strangers, shady dealings, and sudden romance set against the background of impending war—it's a much starker film with a much more serious theme than ships passing in the night. In the end, it's a tragically lovely story about the cruel devastation of selfish and ungoverned love. It's a

The icy waters of the Atlantic kept them from a happy ending in Titanic.  In Revolutionary Road the small disappointments of daily life threaten to curdle and destroy what seems to the outside world like a perfect marriage. Revolutionary Road is the long-awaited film version of the Richard Yates novel of the same name. The author spent his life chronicling the shattered lives and broken hopes of people disappointed by the American Dream. He was one of the great American writers of the 20th century. His view of the world was so bleak and uncompromising that it is not entirely surprising that he died in relative obscurity in 1982. Revolutionary Road has long been considered one of his finest achievements and the film version does justice to the story, even if it feels a little too reverential for its own good. In the Connecticut of the Fifties Frank Wheeler (DiCaprio) and his wife April (Winslet) appear to be living the American Dream. He has a peachy job in the marketing department of a

So Junta Curfew starts tomorrow. Some 12 hours later. A pandemic I have not seen in my mid 30 s life and with my line of business, a crazy chaos we are trying to bring order on. My partner told me of a brilliant idea on what would Gabriel Garcia Marquez would have written should he be alive today. Have been seven years I have blogged so perhaps the flow wont be a lot. A lot however has changed in these 7 years. We are all growing older. The small things that gave joys are still giving same set of joys. We have changed as a person, people around us have changed and the way we used to express has changed. What that has not changed is our curiosity. How will be the love in corona be like ? How different it was from social distancing we need to have. Was not Florentino not in some kind of isolation ? Isolation inwardly and extravagant everywhere. Was Fermino not in some kind of isolaton ? Isolated inwardly as well as outwardly . Social distancing sounds fanciful but have not
