Vishwaroopam, Religion and the Indian Cinema...

Author : Richa Sharma      Blog : Something By Someone      Date : 2/1/2013 7:00:00 PM

'Lots have been said on the movie Vishwaroopam and that was the reason why I went to watch this movie. Sheer curiosity! For a girl who doesn't know how to speak even a single comprehensible sentence in Telugu, watching a Telugu movie doesn't come so naturally to her. (Although I have watched Eega too but that is an altogether different story...so we will talk about it later) Trying to understand the dialogues reminded me of those freaking theorems of Physics which(...)'

Arunachal in News. Oh its a positive one!

Author : Richa Sharma      Blog : Something By Someone      Date : 1/17/2013 2:36:00 PM

'Image Courtesy: Google ImagesYes, for a change Arunachal has managed to get a little attention from the media for something positive. This doesn’t mean the state has only controversies to offer. Unfortunately its mesmerizing nature, unexplored interiors and indigenous tribes is not enough for our Delhi-centric media which seems to focus more on negative rather than on any positive development news.  Arunachal Pradesh has mostly been in news because of China’s insensible cl(...)'

'Today on Facebook I saw few friends sharing how their 2012 was. It made me look back at my year too. To say the least, it was EVENTFUL. Never ever I will forget this year. “Change is inevitable”. I know it’s a cliche but it does describe my 2012 perfectly. The year started with surprises and is still surprising (yeah some were not so delightful!) I had few worst moments of my life as well as the best ones. Made some new friends, got in touch with some old besties who stood(...)'

'By the window side, with faces unknownShe sits amidst them, looking at the red soil.The Ploughed Soil.Beholding the farmer,She sits there, by the window. The Farmer,  Who is straightened with faith even when creased with fears,As he waits for the red to turn greenShe looks out, into his eyes.while ignoring those inside, waiting for herlike the vultures for the dying to die.Sitting there still, she moved ahead.Away from the crumbled bed covers, Leaving the warmth of blanket,That(...)'

So what happens when you have a dog?

'When you own a dog or when a dog owns you (which ever suits you better) more than being controlled by your dog or being his/her “pet”, it starts affecting you mentally as well. No no…we don’t start eating Pedigree…and in our case Royal Canin. (Thank God for that!) But this doesn’t mean that crisp sound of Pedigree is any less tempting! But don’t you worry I am NOT going to eat pedigree no matter what!So where was I? Yes how it affects us, the so called “dog owners” (dog owners! Ha!)(...)'
