Movies this week

My Best Friend's Girl (MBFG), Casanova, Birthday Girl, We Own the Night, Woh Lamhe (WL) were the movies that I had watched this week, of which only MBFG and WL deserve a mention here (though Casanova was funny too).

MBFG is a funny movie - with lewd comments & scant regard for love, feelings and emotions- worth a light-hearted timepass.

WL is just the opposite of it. It is the love story of Mahesh Bhatt and Parveen Babi told beautifully through a movie. Some very nice performances and decent script & songs make it worth watching. Those who have loved and lost would relate very well with this movie. Others may not be able to empathise with the obsessive feelings (shown in the movie) a lover undergoes. But anyway, it is a commendable effort by the director.

Fill in the blanks: Country A and Country B!

Country A and Country B share tense relations. Both of them have waged many wars and proxy-wars against each other. Both the countries have nuclear weapons.

Country A experienced a terrorist attack in the recent past that was targeted at foreigners and that got broadcast live in TV. Country A blamed Country B of sending terrorists for that attack. Country A got the sympathy.

Now, in Country B, foreign players are attacked by terrorists that gets broadcast again. Country B is yet to blame Country A for having a role in it, but it seems only to be a matter of time.

Whatever may be the case, this sure seems to go on and on. An eye for an eye is going to make the whole world blind!
