Movie Night Once Again, Finally!!

I finally got around to watching a movie at a cinema hall (multiplex) after what seems to be forever. We went to City Centre, bought tickets for the 9.50pm show at INOX and headed towards a much desired taste of Chicken for Dinner. What better place that KFC to relish all the chicken, one can have; Zingers, Snackers et al. So after licking my fingers under the keen eye of every passer by, we headed out to watch the movie everyone was talking about: Taare Zameen Par.

You know its money and time well spent when you go to watch an Aamir Khan movie. The man has reason to make one film in several years. The last Aamir Khan movie I watched was Rang De Basanti and need I rave about that too, or Lagaan or Dil Chahta Hai. No I’m sure we all enjoyed all those movies and agree that Aamir doesn’t need to stoop down to petty Bllywood tittle-tattle on who’s the best actor or Super star… he’s in a league of his own. Yes AB & SRK are the superstars with all the glam sham but Aamir is the true actor of Bollywood. His selection of films and the delivery thereafter in terms of direction, acting, cinematography, casting is impeccable. Not to doubt the time he spends on researching and making each film.

I have to add that the character of Ishaan Awasthi, the dyslexic boy played by Darsheel Safary, who the story revolves around, was just spectacular. Aamir Khan as usual doesn’t try to steal the limelight and gives the right of stardom to the subject and message he’s trying to convey through his film. Of course it wouldn’t be fair if one didn’t praise him for his brilliant acting. The man has the ability to spin a tale and get tears in your eyes or then make you want to jump and dance with joy.

Taare Zameen Par is a must watch and Shankar Ehsaan Loy have just made it more so with their contribution of music. So if you haven’t seen it yet, I believe you should.

The 7 Wonders at Eco Park

Pyramid & Sphinx Our last excursion to Eco Park in Rajarhat dates all the way back to February 2015. Since then, a myriad of transformations has swept through the park. During a recent journey to the airport, we caught sight of the park's latest additions, which had become the talk of the town, visible from Biswa Banga Sarani. That sighting ignited our decision to revisit the park. Naturally, we concurred that visiting on a weekend would be an exercise in chaos, so we opted for a weekday to fully savor the wonders that awaited us. To our surprise, even on a weekday, the park teemed with visitors. Upon entering Eco Park for a nominal fee of Rs. 30, we were immediately struck by the sheer value it offered. Personally, I would have willingly paid more for the privilege of glimpsing these marvelous creations. Rather than expound further, I'll let the images convey the essence of what lies within. That being said, it unquestionably merits an in-person visit to truly appreciate ...

Vintage Car Show 2018 at The Tollygunge Club

1947 MG TC So here we are once more at The Tollygunge Club on a cold winter morning to catch some rare beauties to warm our hearts. I try to catch these every year if possible and after my recent trip and the number of cars I've seen on it, one would think I'd give it a miss. This year's collection had most of the usual cars with an addition of some more to the fray. What disappointed though was the limited number of super cars on display. But all that said, it's always a joy to see these wonderful gems still being cared for by their owners and offering us a glimpse into automotive history. So with that much said, I hope you'll enjoy the pictures of the cars below. 1947 MG TC 1938 Rolls-Royce 1938 Rolls-Royce 1953 Land Rover 1932 Ford V8 1932 Ford V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1956 BSA Bantam 1952 Willy's Jeep 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1925...
