This & That

Watched a couple of movies this week. First one was Pukar, starring, Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Namarata Shirodkar. The first half of the movie seemed pretty ok was wondering why it didn’t run and then we exactly knew why. Namarata Shirodkar was a surprise. I thought she will be pretty lousy with dialogues and expressions, but she was ok, not great, not bad. Songs were good.

Then Netflix decided to send me a second movie I had not ordered for, Will Smith’s “Seven Pounds”. The movie was fine but it was depressing and sad. Something I am keeping away from. Will Smith eventually commits suicide as he is taken over by guilt of having killed his wife and seven others in a car accident when he was driving and was distracted by his phone. He hence decides to make a difference in the lives of 7 different people before he ends his life, only to realize he is falling in love with one of those 7 people he had chosen to help.

We have given ourselves some time off from Comcast. Right now our RCA dabba TV is in the guest room and the really small TV is in our room, so no television to distract when trying to fall asleep. The living room has no TV, our furniture does not point towards anything (as Joey puts it in Friends) currently, just a blank wall. It’s been a week and it’s peaceful. I am requesting DH to take a break from Comcast for rest of the year and he is busy looking for those big screen TVs I am just not interested in. It’s not like I don’t like them. We temporarily had our friend’s 50 inch TV; who moved to West coast and sold it off. He didn’t have the time to sell it, so we had it for few days and sold it for him. It was good having a 50 inch undoubtedly.

The heavy downpour in Hyderabad and the episode at my home where in the water had flooded the living room ended. Everything was cleaned and back in shape. Turns out the neighbors were in a bad state. All their clothes were ruined, their refrigerator, TV, sofas, mattresses, basically all their belongings just plain ruined. My mom discovered few of her good saris were ruined too. Hoping the dry cleaning can fix it to some extent.
