Lights,Camera,Action....(pause)...LOL


In your rather humdrum and soporific life , all of a sudden you are struck by a jolt of insanity (or rather jus reminded of it). Your grey matter is sparked up to think weird things.. Wat do you do?? Write a story line for a movie!! ;-)
Recently a friend and i were having a just another regular convo about "nothing" in particular and discussing life and people as such cuz we had nothing else to do. to spice up the convo we decided to use our fertile imaginations ( Act he ended up over working his while i put mine to rest and restricted myself to comments and suggestions :-) ) this was what we ended up with...

The IMDB way....

Directed by : ????
Writing Credits : my friend and i
Genre : Comedy/action/romance/drama/etc
Tagline: Save me!!!! I love you!!!!

Plot Summary:
spoiler warning : Plot and/or ending details follow.
Santosh a journalist and samurai, working for a secret govt. org, saves clementine a pretty but vey confused gymnast from a compelling situation.. He fights against a couple of hooded villains with hideous grins and well versed in Arabic.. Clementine who's saved jus cuz she said " i love you" feels indebted. This is followed by a dream sequence duet song at the end of which Santosh is hanging from a balcony railing 'clinging' on to his life. Clementine saves him by making use of her gymnastic crafts. Now they are even. And... They live happily ever after...

Cast Overview:
Siddarth : Santosh Reddy
Meg Ryan : Clementine Kruczynski

The story was actually supposed to end with a scene on the beach but we weren't able to simulate a picturesque location for the same. So the plan was dropped.
Cheers to my colleague for having come up with such a crazy idea and cheers to me for having motivated him or rather badgered him into doing this. :-p
Anyways moral of the story - Hours can fly with fun discussing crap and you realize that Boredom ultimately relieves you of boredom. Paradox ain't it.

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD!!!!

I see trees of green........ red roses too
I watch 'em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....warm sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.
The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are there on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin'.. how do you do
They're really sayin'......I love you.
I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
They'll learn much more.....than I'll never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world

What a wonderful world by louis armstrong.. I loaded this song in my cellphone a few days back.. just to break the monotony from what i was listening to earlier.. thought that a few classics would do me good.. for a while atleast.. and it did..
Alone.. strolling on the hostel terrace .. plugging in my earphones i plugged out the roaring of the seas a few hundred metres away.. plunging into euphoria.. though i've listened to the song lotsa times earlier.. this was the first time i actually felt the song.. Dunno if the lyrics appealed to me or the voice.. i believe its the latter that did the trick..
i actually could feel louis armstrong walkin in a park, pretzel and ice cream stalls, children playing and chattering, dogs pleasing their masters with their frisbee catchin skills, lovers hushin and giggling admist all the chaos, new mothers on park benches showin off their cute babies to the passers by... Now i know wat hollywood has done to me.. watched soo many movies that iam simulating and integrating all happy endings in this little head of mine..sigh... lol
iam not being mawkish here. any person with a substantial amount of emotions cultivated in them or atleast thrusted upon them ( believe me i know quite a few ppl of this category) if asked to give a thought about the song will come up with a narrative like this.
the question that now arises in my mind is that why do we associate only a few events to defining a "happy" "wonderful" world?? this song was released in 1968.. till today the tradition is kept alive and kicking in the movies.. today each individual is learning to define happiness in his/her own way.. the basic essence of individualism..
[ interruption here.. i've always related this to colours.. you look at an object and say its red and de second person agrees.. affirmations from all the ppl that its red but how can one be sure if all the people see the colour "red" the same way?? "red is after all just a name and wat's in a name ;-)] its hardly revealed and shared with others.. unless hiding your pleasures from everyone gives you ultimate pleasure.. moral of the story.. no new endings for movies.. lol
this is my first blog.. so it seemed natural that i reason out to myself as to why the hell am i doing this.
i believe this medium is simply stands unbeaten in the extent of information and thought exchange. People are using this forum to share their best moments and things that bring them joy.. a panacea for those who are running short of ideas and are bored with life as such.. lol
and i being a benevolent darling share all my happy moments with my inner circle ( will define 'inner circle' in a later narrative).. imbibing ideas.. brewing new strange concotions for having fun in life.. may be cuz i find accomplices this way.. he he.. and whenever i'm dehydrated of ideas i'll borrow brain cells from all these people i know :-) cheers.
