To Infinity and Beyond

       Life can change at any movement and at any time in your life and the word ‘change’ reminds us that there was a life which was different from now. All we ask our self is ‘was it meant to change?’, ‘is this change a chance for the betterment or the worst?’ and as everyone believe change is an adjunction by Time, time makes us feel good and at time, it makes us sad.

But for sure change gives us what we call ‘memories’, the only reminder of an invisible connection, a flashback when we turn back. 

:)...

Worried where am I taking this conversation with a head start so philosophical?  

Nothing in particular, but this I can say as a definition which got framed up when I think about the past ‘beautiful’ or ‘sad’ memories.

Speaking about memories, there has been something which I wanted to capture in ‘this word game’ from my memory. Heard of ‘Toy story’ movies! Last week saw all the 3 set of movies. For a change, :), it was remarkable good. The idea where in toys are in life when you sleep or not looking at it. I hope why such idea’s doesn’t spring up to me :(. 

Toy Story 1

Never mind, anyway the memory which aroused was about Toys, my toys :) . Just like Andy, I too have many toys in my showcase. ‘Barbie’, 2 or 3 stuffed animal dolls and one small cute doll house. Surprisingly all are in one piece and in good shape. There were many of them, which is now a donated figure, some of which I remembered like the building block collection, a rain coat baby (my favourite and has a huge story behind it too), kitchen set, doctor set (a big time popular one’s), cars, bus, a gun (I feel it was shared between me and my bro) and so on. 

And also imagination was wide, I suppose, but even then the play story was always some fairy tale and at the end it also reached to DDLJ as I remember. We, I and another gal, used to narrate the DDLJ film, with toy play; with Barbie being kajol and that rain coat baby being SRK. I feel I was in 3^rd / 4^th right then.

Suppose the tale behind toy story is real, will my toys remember me as Andy’s does? Would they be in need of a new owner to fulfil their utmost desire...to play!

It would be an interesting event to talk about further if all the non-living comes to live. How about your first bicycle...if that has a capability of expressing what would it want to say?

Then when I think I would be in a very difficult phase of my life. Because I just gave it to a small girl far away from my place, and I heard it was in a bad shape, and I suppose now ...never mind, sad ending I can say.

Toy Story 2

So what would it say? ‘Why Prathima, why did you abandon me when I used to give you a joy, Just because you entered your College life!!!’  Truly the importance of it at that time was very high. I am very sorry for it, I should have kept it in my attic or so, but I thought it would have been better in place where it is in use, rather than my storage place. It was pink, with a black basket in front of it, my first and the last bicycle, it was very pretty. I regret the loss for some penny; yes I sold it as I was in need of pocket money :(.

Now-a-days I heard there is some library called rentoy, which gives branded toys for rent; an eco-friendly system. This would be a patchy dirt work on the feeling of ‘Toy story’ movie.  But I sure won’t say it’s a very bad idea. But a kid should have at least 1 toy which he/she loves the most  and owns it., no rent ones.

Toy Story 3

How will you know? There will be a connection seen towards it and the kid, I suppose.'kismat konnection :P'

At the End: Everyone has one or other Toy / or a playmate in their past to talk about, which will make them go back to that moment and imagine it. And sometime I feel these playmates do have some feeling, our feeling towards it which is inside them, which is what the toy story movie also protraits. 

 ‘To Infinity and Beyond’.... for those good old innocent Toy memories....

Lafangey Parindey

Bollywood masala has been now-a-days out of taste. Most of the movie which has arrived recently, neither has achieved originality nor persistence in the minds of the viewers. This was not so in the beginning of 20's. But now the time has changed. Some concentrates on songs, some on dresses, some on location, but the story are as usual. But it is not that these movies are bad, it has the new spices but some how it never gets suspended in the minds, it just evaporates. Lot of us, never even remember the name of the films, just remembers that some certain characters/scenes has been an eye catching ones. 'Story!...who knows, might be the same girl boy love story' will be the reaction. On such movie is 'Lafangey Parindey'....But don't ask me, i am still finding out what was it all about, and what was good about, so that i can communicate it to you...ummm

Any way the other way round is also good, why do we watch a movie for, just for a time-pass. So why do you want a movie to revolve around you thought!!! You need to go out of the theater and just forget. It was just meant to flow your money out, for entertainment. It was just one shot. :)

Now for my review section on 'Lafangey Parindey' , very predictable one if you had seen the prom's. It is what is shown. Nothing, no addition and no deletion. But even then, it gives fairy tale impression, why not!!, its yash raj films production right!!


Some wired/funny/fairy tale incidents which I noticed :


*Hero works for a known gunda, but the gunda in-turn is not so violent. He is much more of a seniti and emotional guy. If his best man, or his left hand is dead , he cries and if the hero wants to leave all the gundagardi and want to work normal daily wages like all Indian, he is fine.

*Hero has an occupation of fighting and always win ( god's kid ) and if he lose, then that's only when he sacrifice ....( arey yer that's why he is hero , don't know kya!!! ) and if he did sacrifice , its time for the heroine's heart to melt, run for him; hugs and smooch hero :S
*Hero always listens to whatever heroine says, but if his mentor says the same , he never listens, even during the mentor's death bed ( ahha na!! )
*Hero learnt to skate in such a very less time span, remarkably i can say love can make you do anything :P *Heroine lost only eyes in that accident. Not even a scratch to her beautiful skin. (umm,..strange!! )  
*She learnt to walk in the road as if she has eyes, again all blind's need to learn from her.  
*And i seriously didn't knew why the cops took so much time to finish there investigation. When the film starts the investigation begins and at the end of the film, the investigation closes and of course culprit's name comes to light,....( aio!!!! why  can't the case be given to CID team of sony tv, they will finish it in half a day...lol ) *Jublient point : cop works for free ( waw re waw , dedication ) and even when the culprit name is announced, he is free to go because...love, of course!!, ( muah ,...ha ha ah )
*And of-course the skating part was some graphical stuffs, i didn't find it to be real...:S

The wardrobe was very ordinary.Also they repeated the dress many times, esp. deepika's blue t-shirt and 3/4th Capri and niel's yellow black strip shirt with black jeans.The location was not yash raj type, but ya you can make out because even though the half of the story was revolving around 'taporie's', the place was very clean ( i really mean here 'cleanliness' ).Story was like 'I have heard it somewhere' type.

The only thing i liked is the confident the character had, when she lost her eyes, she didn't sit and crib on the lose, she was back to practice skating. That's quite confident, brave step and encouraging for everyone.And yes there were no melodrama, all the melodrama was hidden, Its good to see that when we have so much melodrama in our own life :P

Finally my rating '2.5/5' and Film 'time-pass' ; watch the film if there is no other good movies around and you need to spend your time :)... bcos i did.
