There she goes again....

              I am a closet romantic. I enjoy reading, watching, experiencing romance. But then, I can’t write or articulate romance like others can. Anything remotely romantic sounds super sarcastic when I try saying it. So, Duh!

My tryst with romance started with DDLJ (1995) and no it’s not a movie that anyone hated; rather it’s a

Aah the eternal SRK fan .... I wondered if you would take up Dilwale ( The one with the heart ) after Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge ( DDLJ - The one with the heart takes the Bride ) ... I am still pondering over that ... after having watched it with so much expectation and then wondering what I was doing sitting through the whole movie inspite of wanting to get up and leave at every frame. Gosh I just realised I rank somewhere on top on the eternal SRK fans list ... and will sit through anything and everything !!!!
Meanwhile Pathankot has got my brain working too ... so lets see what my brain churns out. Good luck to you :)

Hehe...well if it's about movies, it has to be Shah Rukh right?...I didn't hear brickbats about Dilwale as much as I did about Ra.One at that time..and Diwale for me would always be a Rohit Shetty movie in the end..Romance and SRK go hand in hand and I am not surprised to find you being his fan as well..;) You can write Romance very well..:) and I am waiting for an out and out romantic piece from you this mini-season.
Looking forward to reading your entry...reading about Pathankot made me feel like terrorism is here to stay..sadly..:/ Best wishes to you too..:) Thanks for stopping over..<3

This is a fantastic entry! I think you might want to consider writing more non-fic!! I learned so much from this - about YOU! And hon, that closing bit is sad and terrible and pure genius in relation to the prompts. So well done!!

[eternal_ot]

Woot! That's so nice to hear..especially since I was jittery about doing non-fiction all along. I always find my life to be pretty mundane to share and it's good to know that you found things about me interesting..:)
Yeah, Pathankot has been in news the entire week and I attempted writing it but found the entire thing very frustrating and then nothing cheers me up like SRK , so here..:)
Thanks for all the appreciation. It's means a lot...Good to see you stop by..<3

I completely agree that it would be nice to hear more about yourself as well :-) , I enjoyed this story very much.

The ending is so sad but true. There have been several more attacks since and - just what is there to do?

[eternal_ot]

Hey...It's a pleasure know people are interested in knowing more about me..:) Maybe I'll try non-fiction more often or atleast won't feel jittery about it..:D

I agree..somehow combating terrorism has been a huge issues worldwide and hope things change for better. Here in India, the madarsa (Muslim temples) have started education programmes to prevent the youth from getting mislead..I guess that's a nice initiative.

Goods to see you stop by..:) Thanks a ton!

[eternal_ot]

Glad you found it interesting..Thanks for all the appreciation..:) Happy to see ya stop by..<3

I've seen ROBOT/Entharan.

Can you explain more why this RA-ONE isn't liked? It looks fun. Although... why and how is Chitti even in it?

[lordrexfear]

Okay so I just watched this one sequence.... and um... what is happening? Does it make more sense in context? Who are these guys, why are they attacking? Why is there suddenly a gang carrying swords? What is this? Why is Chitti here? How is Chitti here?!?

Visually this is spectacular, but it just looks like a mess of no logic? What am I missing. (and yes I know the movie I wrote about is ridiculoys, but everything in it still actually makes sense).

[eternal_ot]

Cool...you even found the video of the same..:D Well now...the story goes like this- the programmer dies in order to save his son. So the son and the wife move to India along with G.One(the good one which is brought out of the virtual world by Lucifer to combat Ra.One). This is an airport sequence where the wife (Sonia) is eve teased by some roadside Romeo which results in the entire fight sequence.(which is a bit over the top..I agree..:P )
Chitti as I said is a guest appearance (which many bollywood flicks use as a marketing gimmick..where actors are asked to make a courtesy two minute appearance...like how Alfred Hitchcock used to do.) The concept being one Robot has come to rescue another.(Friends of same metal..:P)

[lordrexfear]

I like the plot... and I even got how the fight started, but boy did it just get super crazy...

I'm curious to see the full film, but it was amazing I found a version of Robot with English subtitles so I could understand not just the basics but the important stuff.

A very personal review of an interesting-sounding movie. Very well written. But what got me most profoundly was the short paragraph at the bottom of your entry.

You are a gifted writer. Well done!

[eternal_ot]

Thank you for such high praise..I am humbled. I am glad that non -fiction is working well with readers..I have never done it before, so this means a lot to me..:)
I pondered over terrorism this entire week since it was all over the media..and actually couldn't come up with something rigid. It sure is frustrating! When you can't find solutions. Happy that whatever little I wrote about it, is making some impact.
Thanks a ton for stopping by..<3 Nice to see you here...:)
