Films galore...

After Pyaasa it was Guddi; that was completed back to back. After getting into Guru Dutt, I am now traversing into the domain of Hrishida...started Buddha Mil Gaya.

Pyaasa...

Completed 3 B & W films of Guru back to back and as much as I see him, the more and reverence I generate towards that soul.
He was and I know that I am repeating way ahead of his times. The truth, the meaning in each and every frame of the movie keeps one spellbound; atleast I was.

Black and White

Today I completed Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam, what a piece from Guru Dutt; no regrets and no laments.

This comes back to back after another black and white movie i.e. Baharein Phir Bhi Ayeegi.

One thing is for sure that I shall continue the momentum. All these were well ahead of their times!

Using public transportation...

Its a great experience to observe people and guess their respective story when one is in a public transport. 
A housewife has small glitch with the husband's tantrums which she shares with her friend whom she just met. The bund at a place created problem for a sales person in achieving his monthly target of the previous month. A joke is cut about the person who accidentally sat on a ladies~reserved seat by a middle age person and targetted for his similarly aged friend and people hitherto unknown also pass on some much-required comments. The brash just comments on the increasing pollution. Descriptions on the just concluded Pujas and the long ques at the beauty parlour is described with a browed forehead by a heavily~ornamented middle aged lady. The no~holiday thankless job is described with a sigh by an almost senior citizen with pauses of sigh emnating immediate pity; all bystanders make silent mental notes.
Stories, touching ones & non-sensical ones, fathomable ones & curious ones but stories plenty of them around. This could make a good guessing game and an interesting time-spend.
