"Sometimes the last person on earth you want to be with is the one person you can't be without."

People who have seen the previous version [1995 - Colin Firth's hit] of this Jane Austen's adaptation would love to disagree with me, but if you're watching Pride & Prejudice on screen for the first time [disregard the desi version], you will find Joe Wright [the director]'s version a romantic delight!
The movie / novel is a story set in medieval England, Keira in the role of a senseful, independent minded woman Miss Elizabeth Bennet and the very handsome Mathhew Macfayden in the role of a pained young gentleman Mr Darcy. The story spins around the Bennet family where Mrs Bennet is desperate to find rich suitors for her daughters. Step in Mr. Darcy.....a friend of Mr. Bingley, an eligible enough bachelor for any of Mrs. Bennet's daughters. Miss Bennet finds an insensitive jerk in Darcy but destiny brings them together and how this happens along with a lot of other things is the movie!!
Now the technical part...The screenplay by big screen debutant Deborah Moggach is extravagant and splendid at times and weak at other times....the sunshine mountain scene with Keira was found completely baseless and inappropriate. But other parts......the scene when Darcy first proposes to Lizzie flows naturally.....the rain, the tears in Macfayden's eyes....awesome it is! Another scene is when Liz is on the rope swing, round and round she goes, world changing just like weather..... rain, sunshine, wind.....everything right there, infront of her.....just as she goes round and round and round. I personally thing Joe has done complete justice to the script.....though the script is nigh incomparable to the novel. The script tries hard enough to fit in all the characters and the scenes but fails to deliver......you wont find much of Miss Bingley or even Mr Darcy....you'll actually miss Macfayden much on the screen.
But, finally [[I have to say this], its a Very VERY WELL MADE movie......probably one of the best that I've seen in recent times. Its put together brilliantly.....Macfayden...he takes over the screen completely, exactly the same for Brenda and Donald [Mrs & Mr Bennet]. It is a paisa vasool movie and if you like good movies at all, you SHOULD go watch it.....COMPULSORY!!!! All you lovers too.....go watch the movie [with or without your sweethearts' ....thats completely left to you]

TIRED!!!!

Second year started on Monday and I already look like I've got exams from tomorrow. The house we've rented is about a kilometer [or more] away from the university.....this means that I walk for almost 4-5 kms a day!! I actually couldnt wait to go back to school, specially when it had been about 3 months......but the fact that I've to wake up at 6:30/7:00 AM, cook, and then walk to the dept makes it all difficult. All that apart, the modules are really interesting....we have more of Medical Engineering subjects now.....something like cell biology in engineering, thermodynamics applied to the human machine etc etc

This one was a really boring topic to blog about........Honestly, I seldom feel like blogging nowadays. I wish I could say I was busy.......but I was not! I had all the time in the world, and all the topics to rant about but with so less interest to write. Nope........not interested to write down at alll.....so lets see how long this goes!! Before you conclude that I am depressed/sad, let me tell you, I am actually the happiest person in the world.....seriously!! Just dont want to blog :(

and this is?

I read this - Encephalitis deaths in Uttar Pradesh and I read this - our dear Amma [u know who's she, dont you?] pleadging one million dollars to Katrina victims! Read the article and you'll hear her saying that its her duty. Our Indian government too has contributed an aid of about 5 million dollars [later in the article]. I completely understand that our government has to repay America for all its help during our bad times.....or maybe it isnt about repaying, our government maybe just trying to help. But what I'm confused about is whether this is right or wrong :-/

Eros.......my God of Love!  

After having said all that, I think I should have just shut up......good lessons learnt the hard way. "Truth is always bitter" says someone but if that someone's got a frog stuck up in his/her throat, its not my problem!!
As all of you can see.....I'm going through a personal crisis :( :(( I'm taking a 10 day break starting tuesday. See you all when I get back........enjoy!!! :D

To add: 'No entry' - for people who like to laugh [and well...for people going through a crisis like me]......go watch this movie!! Wish there was more of Sallu bhai!
