deserve?

A very nice quote from here:

Buffett, in India, said people should give. Do you (Ajit Jain) personally follow that, in terms of charity, give away personal wealth?


A difficult and personal question and my views have changed somewhat over time. We have a son who’s been diagnosed with a serious illness and before he was diagnosed, I was in favour of the Buffett philosophy. I always felt I have got this fame, this wealth, I didn’t deserve, it doesn’t belong to me. But after my son’s illness, things did change. I didn’t deserve this and he didn’t deserve what he is getting.


So, in terms of my giving, without getting into too much of details of how things have changed, one, we focus on the Foundation that’s trying to find a cure for his illness. Second, I feel guilty, inasmuch as in his earlier life when he was healthy, I wouldn’t let him spend money and have a nice time. So, I have taken a U-turn and now I spend a lot of money and freely.
 
I absolutely love the twist:) Unsuprisingly, the doode has lived his dream and his only goal is to avoid doing something stupid.

tanu weds manu

Tanu weds Manu is an awesome movie - perhaps another dark horse winner. barring of course kangana ranaut - god! how can such a smart team be that dumb to not find an alternative for that role. Madhavan is superb, all characters so well-written, so colorful, fine dialogues, the climax a bit shaky. Can't help identifying with that character :) The quality doesn't come out to be a surprise if you look at the completely forgotten "strangers" (kk and jimmy shergill) made by the same director-writer duo - there was something very intriguing abt that movie.

kitne dafe is so beautifully romantic; i hated it for its non-linearness earlier but I guess can't help falling for it, and of course its with mohit chauhan; krsna, the music director? both rangrez and piya don't seem that cliched suddenly now :) rangrez is an incredibly powerful composition - both lyrics and tune wise.

and  the true discovery of the movie is swara bhaskar - what a powerful character and what a performance! I went through all her scenes at least thrice! :) She was in madholal too but then I didn't notice her then.

and finally, to repeat myself:
ek baar to yun hoga, thora sa sukoon hoga.
na rebuttals hongi aur na paper reject hoga.
