We Are Family

Last evening I sat through yet another two and a half hour tear jerker from the K-JO stable. We Are Family has a brilliant cast of the very talented Kajol, the reigning Bollywood Queen Kareena and Greek God Hunk & Stud, Arjun Rampal. The performances by all three and the three kids, leaves no doubt in our mind about their acting prowess, but if you have a 45 odd minute end which is sadder than sad, even Spielberg with all his brilliant special effects wouldn’t be able to save the film.

Based on the best selling novel and highly successful Bollywood flick “STEP MOM” this Bollywood flick is well made with shooting in exotic locale of New South Wales in Australia, except for the last 45 minutes. Till a certain point one gets totally in with the characters and can feel their pain and anxiety and frustrations and love and I guess all the emotions that K-Jo was trying to make us feel, till he probably felt he hadn’t made us feel enough and just dragged the tragic end till we just couldn’t take it anymore and that’s where he lost the plot. Had he not dragged the tragedy for so long, maybe I might have shed a tear or two.

So if you want to watch a sad poignant tale of love and loss, be forewarned that you’ll have to sit through some 45+ minutes of unnecessary sorrow and impending tragedy.

We watched teh Movie at Fame South City Mall on Screen 4. Gosh this Audi was huge and there were probably 6-8 of us in the entire hall. The screen seemed a mile away and reminded us of the good old days at New Empire and Globe which were huge.

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...
