Watched Rituparno Ghosh's splendid adaptation of William Sydney Porter's 'The Gift of the Magi'. Raincoat.

Stumped. Floored. Mesmerized.

No histrionics. It looked like everything was a natural and spontaneous performance. I'm in love with the script. And however hard I try, I've once again tripped for Aish. But best of all, I loved Sheela Bhabhi's character (played by Mouli Ganguly to perfection!) Man, are there people like that ? They must be wonderful to live with..

Its kind of dumb that I went to watch a movie, when a tsunami had just struck my city. Trouble is, that everything around me looked so normal. It was only hours later that I learnt of its catastrophic impact..that too, through the images on TV. And from that onslaught of phonecalls, enquiring whether I'd not been washed away :: I figured some people REALLY were concerned. Thanks All.
