Tribute...

This tribute does not mean that my connection with Opera is about to be severed... It just means that I have realised something and I will do all I can to keep that thing alive and kicking...

Meeting Up..
Sunday, 22. June 2008, 13:03:39
Meeting an old friend after a long time is a great feeling in itself... Feels somewhat similar to what you feel when you come out of a steaming hot shower on a cold winter morning, if you know what i mean...

Looking Back- From intro to farewell
Monday, 31. December 2007, 20:09:28
i came to opera sometime in the middle of this year, in may. and it has been a fruitful time out here, but i guess i have outstayed my welcome. so i need to bring my active stay on opera to a halt. whether this halt turns out to be temporary or permanent remains to be seen, and only time will tell this. and i will be lying if i say that earth bound misfit will go off opera, the reasons for which poekenoeks knows better. however i thought i should give my take on the persons i interacted with before i go... so here we are..

so i am flight lieutenant rishi kumar now, woth effect from 17 dec 07.
great. positively wonderful. of course it is so exciting. i am delighted and overjoyed.
except for the fact that i am not feeling anything like this. okay it was a ceremony, it had to be done over with. but there was no glow of anticipation, there is no tinge of excitement. don't exactly know why. maybe because i am too busy with celebrating other anniversaries. i think not, though. i thought of it only when i was looking for explanations. maybe because there is not much to the change, except the rank by which i will be called. apart from it, the job is the same, the duties are the same, the responsibilities are the same, tje powers are the same. still i think this is not the reason. because i know that in terms of service, advancements are gradual and not sudden. i know it for a fact. then why are things the way they are?
maybe i have just become this way. maybe i have forgotten those feelings that i have named. maybe nothing excites me anymore. maybe...
i don't know. i am just too tired of thinking. i do not want to think. if only the brain came with a remote control with which you could turn it on or off whenever you wished...
ps: i am feeling good now. not because of anything else but for a simple gesture by S. she was in a bit of a spot and she chose to call me. although i could not do much, and she knew i would not be able to do anytihng, she did call me. i like it. though i know i should not. because the higher you float, the harder you fall when the balloon bursts. and i know it. still, i do float. in the vain hope that i will not fall, that the balloon will not burst. seriously, some people are VAIN.

after a long long long time saw a current hindi movie today...
the last i saw was in may- life in a metro.. so it was kinda funny when i went to the movie
hall to watch "dus kahaniyan".. i did not know what to expect from it, except for the fact
that sanjay gupta directed stories must be good...
the movie had a good start, with mandira bedi in the first story..(sorry i do not remember
the name of the male lead, call it whatever you want). the movie was good, with a twist in
the end which reminded me of jeffrey archer's " a twist in the tale". this was followed by
the only indifferent story of the lot, high on the highway... jimmy shergill could not give
life to a listless story... still, good effort by both the actors...
but as i had expected i liked the stories directed by sanjay gupta... the one with manoj
vajpayee was good, the one titled rise and fall and starring sanjay dutt and suneil shetty
was one better... and the story with aftab shivdasani was also quite neat, though it held no
surprises in store.. another one lacking in surprise ending, and more importantly, lacking
the punch was the one with nana patekar... not much of a story for that veteran to carry on
his weary shoulders... talking of wasted talent, shabana azmi showed class will still be
class when she portrayed a staunch hindu lady who considers even sitting in a taxy driven
by a muslim as blasphemy, ending up eating in the same plate as a muslim, a role played with
elegant understatement by naseeruddin shah... then there was a story involving the supernatural
with dino morea in it... not much to write home about... and there was amrita singh as a lady
finding old lost love, only at a terrible cost.... but the one with the best direction was
the one starring mahesh manjrekar and neha dhupia, in which the director leads us in the
direction he wants us to go, only to shock us with the ending... that was one real shocker
of an ending, and that was an ending which did more than justice to its literary version...
in fact i seriously think the impact of the movie version would be greater...
anyways all in all a good packege... value for money... i do not regret going for this one!!
