Great News. Got delivery of the new Maruti Swift on May 20, 2008 i.e. last Tuesday. The driver of our family car brought it home from the showroom. From then on, I've been driving it. Enjoying it, I can assure. The model is very comfortable as well as powerful. So engrossed at the moment with the new acquisition and mastering it that I've not even been coming online regularly! We intentionally took delivery during the summer vacation and the decision has proved to be successful. I can't even dream of devoting so much time to the Swift during regular weekdays (apart from driving it to Court and back, of course). Bye for the moment.. have to go out again .... in the Swift of course!! [But the pic here is not of my one, will upload mine asap]

Saw 'Dhobi Ghat' the other day. A splendid celebration of humanity, I'd say. I could relate without knowing a bit of cinematic grammar, I can assure you. The movie by Kiran Rao (Aamir Khan's wife) is excellent. Several characters move about the entire script in their own respective paces, sometimes crisscrossing and at others just content to run parallel to each other. Sensitivity was at its very best during my experience of seeing Dhobi Ghat; it was rather lyrical. Prateik, Smita-Raj Babbar's son, and the girl who depicted the persona in the hand-held video shots, were particularly outstanding. The others were equally good. A must-see for anybody with human content.

Saw the movie 'Inception'. Liked it a lot. The protagonist (Leonardo Di Caprio) is an 'architect' of dreams who creates dreams and delves into those alongwith others at times, building entire cities and scenarios as well as different levels of reality. There are 'totems' to remind one of the 'real' reality, so that one can come back from dreams. The catch is, the real-time in dreams is much longer than our real-time. E.g. if one dreams for an hour in the real world, it translates into days in a dream. The movie is excellent, exploring constructs and sub-strata of the human mind with dexterity. It's fiction, but one that makes you think of the reality of reality. Inception is, in a sense, Matrix reversed. The former tells you that we do exist in reality, but at the risk of losing our bearing if faced with semi-real realities of the subconscious realm. However, Matrix is all about 'Maya' and the unreality of our reality. Overall, Inception is ...
