The Bollywood Bug

i sat and watched 'Dhoom 2' on Saturday, which left me feeling good...even now. My heart pines for the hero and i can't seem to stop humming the explosive theme song!. Anyone who watches Bolly movies will tell you how the songs are the best to dance to and i'm not talking about snap your fingers, tap your feet kind of moves. No siree, it's the booty shaking, hip swaying and whole body workout that is erotic,energetic and exciting, leaving you breathless, panting but pulsating with vigour and vitality!.

That's just the dancing. The lyrics of most of the songs will pierce your heart and make you swoon or be swept away by emotions so strong, you never tire listening to them over and over.The colourful costumes,a tasteful blend of tradition and modern and the superb acting of both new and old movie stars provide feast for the senses. Storylines that stoke the heart, sending messages that make you remember, reflect and rejoice, ensuring lasting entertainment and enjoyment.Some of the stunts though may boggle the mind but hey, it provides the laughs!. The sceneries make you want to visit the countries and places where the movies are made.

Bollywood has garnered scores of followers around the world, cutting across all barriers and in moving with the times, managed to capture the interest of the younger crowd too while continuing to create the feel good 'buzz' in the hearts of millions. The sole purpose of entertainment is easily achieved by excellent acting and exceptional stories brought to life on the screens. Watching a great movie is an amazing feeling. It lifts the spirit, renews hope, fuels passion and makes one continue to dream...

What is life without great movies?. i say, dump your worries, dust off your dancing shoes and do the Bollywood groove!. C'mon everyone - 'Dhoom Machale, Dhoom Machale, Dhoom,Dhoom,Dhoom'.

No Thought Given.Thinking Before Talking Is No Longer Practised.

Do we actually think before saying something? Give thought to the consequences of our words?. Everyday, people around me are saying things which most often defies logic and the words spoken carry no meaning. Why say it then?. i understand that seeking attention escapes no one but as time goes by, it is becoming apparent that no thought is given before one opens his or her mouth. That is downright dumb and dangerous. 'Think before you speak'. 'Look before you leap' were definitely coined after much thought. Words are so powerful that they yield unimaginable impact whichever way it hits you. i believe in it. Just three magic words,"i love you" soars the spirit whilst,"i hate you" can crush your soul. Sometimes words are uttered intentionally to cause hurt and careful thought is given for choice words to create such an effect. It is cruel. When no thinking at all is done before giving views or sharing information, it is damaging because it will cause ...

A Sixth Sense (?)

Do you have a sixth sense?. It is sometimes called instinct, gut feeling, inner voice and i don't know what else. It is said that all of us are born with six senses but only the five obvious ones are acknowledged. The sixth sense is for you to discover within you...Should you ever!. i've often used the phrase, 'i'm going with my gut feeling on this.' i find that when i have to make an important decision and swarmed by well meant advice from different people, i "hear" another voice that has no name, no face but is the loudest. i also get a nagging feeling that if i follow sound advice, it will turn out wrong. On the other hand, following my instincts will surely result in what i want. i can tell you with conviction that allowing my sixth sense to guide me has resulted in amazing outcomes. Once or twice despite an inner turmoil, i acted upon advice that i thought was sound, made sense and sensible. It turned out disastrous for me!. i came to the conclusi...

Insensitive Discrimination Creates Discord

It was with utter dismay that i discovered the absence of any recognition of the recently celebrated Festival Of Lights in a bimonthly magazine published for a well known retail giant. As a card member,i'm entitled to a free copy which i diligently collect to look out for new products, articles to read, happenings and snippets that i really enjoy. In the last issue (Sept/Oct),when i didn't see any highlights for Diwali,i assumed it would appear in the following issue (Nov/Dec). Imagine my disappointment when it wasn't there in the last issue for this year. There were pages of recipes, clothing and decor ideas for the other major festivals celebrated in Malaysia but not for the Festival Of Lights. An oversight by the editor? or a total lack of sensitivity for another culture?. No excuse can compensate for the absolute disregard and dismissal of the festival altogether. It all boils down to respecting another culture and having the decency and courtesy to accord the same ...
