Lage raho - munnabhai

Tweedledum to school, sat on the computers for a while, went for a walk, tried jogging in a skirt, shopping in Champion, where I dutifully forgot the most important purchase, aka garbage bags, back to school, got dropped home in time for a little bit of yoga and then....time for my first Hindi movie in over a year! And I liked it! All the emotions you would expect from Bollywood packed into two hours - action, anger, humour, tragedy, cliched love, neglected parents - you name it. And, methinks, the best way to package Gandhiji for this generation of yuppies - Gandhigiri!!! I'm sure there are a few who at some point on 2nd October have wondered - 'So, was he born today or did he die today?'. Unfortunately, I have friends with that level of ignorance. But, I know, they catch every new release of a movie. So what better way to educate them than this. and, I'm sure, I will be using the word too.

As for living upto the principles...well, at least, I try....

A few quotes:

'Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony'.

'The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong'.

'Speak only if it improves upon the silence'.
