I eat, drink and sleep movies

Last Friday I watched the movie called 'Dus kahaniya'. There were a total ten short movies inside a big one. Out of those ten a couple of them were really good and the rest were a total shit. It was funny...this woman is just a second away from getting married and her father asks her if she is in love with someonelse..and that she can walk away from the marriage and blah blah blah...without even showing any fking serious affair she developed at the background. What probably the director wanted to show was the twist of fate between the two lives....but not so well projected nor was it well written at all. It was stupid. Anyway atleast I thought the very first story of infidelity was really well executed. From camera movement, to editing to everything except the story was nothing new but as it was well directed and equally well presented, that story did stand out from the rest. Another piece that I liked had a social message attached to it about religious hatred and racism. That one wasn't so bad either. In mere ten minutes the film was able to leave a strong social imprint which ofcourse seven others could not. I thought that was quite applaudable. Plus the one titled "Gubaare" (Balloon) was okay too atleast it wasn't as bad as the other ones. The rest of the stories besides those three, I thought was a total waste of time and money.
We also happened to watch 'I am legend' (the movie about human beings turning into mutants because of the drug experiment that would almost erase the entire human civilization from the Earth) Friday. I thought Will Smith just nailed the character and the direction was superb. The movie succeeded in keeping me hooked till the finish but one thing that ruined the moment was the abrupt end. The movie was going so well ...until the end...though must say it was quite a filmy predictable end . The movie could have had been extended a little longer.Or else it was all fine. For a movie to be called good enough its very very important that its well directed, well edited and well executed eventually. And ofcourse, theres no way we can afford to let the actors compromise in their work. After all they add life to the movie.

Movies are the medium to convey the social messages, to depict the truth, to entertain and take us away to the world unknown. One has to be extremely talented to put up a show thats worth a watch. I've always been a movie buff and good movies always make me feel good. Its like having sex. And everytime I watch a good one and especially if its related to real human story I am always inspired to create my own version. I think thats what a movie should be able to do. It should be able to move you, make you think, it should be able to touch you. I know it would take so much of time, effort and resources from our side. And considering the deteriorating condition of Nepali Movies I don't see getting much help from that side of the filmy world. Once I compile the story, find the director and excellent cameraman with tons of helpers lets see...hope to do it someday. I hope to tell the story of our generation. Not the one older or younger but of my own generation that I am aware of ...that I feel...I want to capture the dreams, the thoughts, the belief and everything that represents us!

Just another day

I just happened to be listening to this song - Mukti and Revival's titled :'Jiune aash'.
Na ta Kunai yehaa Aash chha
Na kasai ko yehaa baas chha
Kewol marna laagi rahekooo...
Nisaasiyeko Saas chha

Suna saana raat parchha
Zindagi lai rityauna Gar (khojchha)
Na ta mann bahalaune kunai (eshara/saath/saamaan??) chha
Na ta malai baaachneeee...................Kunai....rahar...
Kaadaa le bijhe ko ghau chha
Yehaa sabai thau biraano... chha
Na ta aafule dekheko kunai thaunai chha
Na ta kunai yehaa mero nau chha

Na ta kasai ko bolne saas chha
jiunu kasai ko aas chha

Suna saana raat parchha
Zindagi lai rityauna garchha
Na ta mann bahalaaune kunai ?? chha
na ta malai baachneee kunai...rahar
kaadaa le bijheko ghau chha
yehaa sabai thau biraano ...chha
Na ta aafule dekheko kunai thaunai chha
Na ta kunai yehaa mero nau chha

Jiunu kasaiko aasai yehaa

Fun and no Fun

Its been a hell of a week...infact weeks..during Thanksgiving we went to colorado, Grand Juction and vegas it was fun. Predominantly for the fact that I found Colorado an exact replica of Nepal. It was like going back home. It was beautiful...the winter had already infected the landscapes of Colorado, still the place looked absolutely breathtaking. Perhaps it was the resemblance to Nepal that brought me closer to this place. Not that I was there for the first time but it sure was my first experience witnessing the hills. Its sad how us in Nepal take hills and mountains as the barrier to development. But I was amazed to see how Americans managed to build the road over the hills, the tunnels through the moutains making the ride even mroe interesting. I wish...I just wish things were better in our country. Well nothing much is happening work is okay, but my cube sure is looking better..with pictures sent in by Suraj. He is a sweetheart. I thought he would never send it to me but he did. Pictures of Patan Dhoka, Swoyambhu Nath and Pokhara (I think). They have added so much of life to my dead cubicle. And since I printed pictures 8 by 11. it looks simply awesome. It feels like I'm looking out the window and there it is..Patan Durbar square right infront of my eyes absolutely beautiful.
