introduce the Italian film by Giueseppe Tornatore:&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 51);font-family:courier new;" &gt;Nouvo Cinema Paradiso&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Disclaimer:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not a movie review. I am sure we have had many. The following is just about what moved me and what inspired me to write about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;                                                                     ~x -x~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Synopsis:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;A boy who grew up in a native Sicilian Village returns home as a famous director after receiving news about the death of an old friend. Told in a flashback, Salvatore reminiscences about his childhood and his relationship with Alfredo, a projectionist at Cinema Paradiso. Under the fatherly influence of Alfredo, Salvatore fell in love with film making, with the duo spending many hours discussing about films and Alfredo painstakingly teaching Salvatore the skills that became a stepping stone for the young boy into the world of film making. The film brings the audience through the changes in cinema and the dying trade of traditional film making, editing and screening. It also explores a young boy's dream of leaving his little town to foray into the world outside.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Love, friendship,  mentor-ship,  nostalgia,  sentiments, and pragmaticism are interwoven into a classic film.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;What really moved me was the relationship between Alfredo and Toto (a.k.a Salvatore) that doesn't end even though they move on with their own lives.  Alfredo is the ever inspiring father-figure in the life of Toto. Through Alfredo he learns not just how to CHASE  dreams but also how to pursue them and LIVE them. Alfredo inspires me for the same. He inspires not to look back but move on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;For me, the film begins after it ends. The last episode where Toto is moved to tears after watching a montage of all the kissing scenes of films he saw Alfredo editing, is the one that has been etched on to my memory forever, more so of Alfredo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);"&gt;What we do for ourselves dies with us. But what we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;This is a toast to the Alfredo in my life:&lt;br /&gt;Thank you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;    &lt;p class="plotpar"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2339707459468590058-945228381803296895?l=havingacrack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://havingacrack.blogspot.com/feeds/945228381803296895/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2339707459468590058&amp;postID=945228381803296895' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2339707459468590058/posts/default/945228381803296895'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2339707459468590058/posts/default/945228381803296895'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://havingacrack.blogspot.com/2008/11/rumble-in-heart.html' title='Rumble in the Heart'/><author><name>rachita saraogi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12430861583330925332</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339707459468590058.post-8744644438627773633</id><published>2008-11-01T11:35:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2008-11-01T11:46:11.787+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='poems'/><title type='text'>The Mask</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.art-photograph-gallery.com/image-files/red.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 222px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 409px" alt="" src="http://www.art-photograph-gallery.com/image-files/red.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;A mask I wear&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Throgh which I smile&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;And I do not dare&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Go an extra mile&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;~&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;They watch me laugh&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;They see not my tears&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;They tear me into half&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The pain nobody hears&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;~&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I do not want the mask&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I want to be free&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oh!

It had been pouring cats and dogs since morning and we three 'gung-ho' damsels actually got together at the slightest chance we could get, at an inter-mutual corner "Mouchak" @ GolPark.&lt;br /&gt;We met with an intention to go for a photography exhibition of Pedro Meyer organized by the Seagull Foundation for Arts in collaboration with Tasveer. So we started off from Mouchak and went knocking around Rashbehari searching for 46, Satish Mukherjee Lane. It was boisterous wandering on the streets, quivering in the cat-and-dog weather and hunting for the place of exhibition. Luckily we did find the place after quite some leg-work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though we were quite lost when we reached there because we were expecting a display of a retrospective of Pedro Meyer's photographs but all we found was all frames dismantled and people packing-up.&lt;br /&gt;At that time we find this man who comes up and is very amused to find us there because he was not expecting visitors in the rain and was packing up to leave town for other exhibition, unaware of how enthusiastic we ladies are! So he got a few works displayed again especially for us, a "special screening" as he put it. And we saw some really beautiful photographs. Each photograph had a story. It was  retrospective in a true sense. Some of the photographs entrusted a sense of deja-vu.&lt;br /&gt;The man also offered us a mitigating cup of tea ( really considerate of him i must say, considering the rains and the cold breeze).&lt;br /&gt;So, we actually underwent a V.I.P treatment.

They were rolling in relentlessly and nothing could stop them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;This is exactly how I would describe my state of mind right now. There are millions of questions forming in my mind,&lt;br /&gt;mixed issues..&lt;br /&gt;on life..&lt;br /&gt;on perspectives..&lt;br /&gt;on friends..&lt;br /&gt;on career&lt;br /&gt;on family&lt;br /&gt;on health&lt;br /&gt;and those "important" stuff..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every time i have a question, i usually love taking peoples view, actually that one persons view whom i look up to for even small trivial matters.. but for a past few days he has been really busy and has been struggling with his own personal issues as well.. so..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so i got into this habit of answering my own questions ( which  usually succeeds a great war between the left side and the right side of my brain) an every answer compels another question and it becomes a ceaseless process with more answers and even more questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;phew!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes i wish i was on the other end of the scale, the end where an answer led back to a question, only one question,&lt;br /&gt;uncertain&lt;br /&gt;hesitant&lt;br /&gt;and most unwilling to state the question!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

So just felt like writing something but am at a loss.

I am totally wasted by my olfactory senses that got a whiff of those suds and can feel my cold soaked tresses against my warm sheath.&lt;br /&gt;Till some time back I used to think that the best ideas come in the shower, but for me it's not so. Shower time is the only time when i do no thinking at all, and its my best part of the day. I am absolutely free from any sought of thoughts at that time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S:I don't think i am really making any sense in what i am writing.So i guess I'll log off now.&lt;br /&gt;       tata!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2339707459468590058-6685937323647423698?l=havingacrack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://havingacrack.blogspot.com/feeds/6685937323647423698/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2339707459468590058&amp;postID=6685937323647423698' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2339707459468590058/posts/default/6685937323647423698'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2339707459468590058/posts/default/6685937323647423698'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://havingacrack.blogspot.com/2008/10/non-sense.html' title='non-sense'/><author><name>rachita saraogi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12430861583330925332</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339707459468590058.post-3039875782445241874</id><published>2008-10-06T21:50:00.005+05:30</published><updated>2008-10-08T17:19:17.371+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thoughts...'/><title type='text'>Innocent Sex</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I keep wondering...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;why is sex such a taboo in India...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;why is it seen as 'dirty' by the older generation though they are the ones who are most experienced..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;And i realize that they have known 'Sex' and they have known 'sEX', but they have never seen SEX through a child's point of view..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;This is another excerpt from MISTER GOD THIS IS ANNA by Fynn...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;All the universe has got a sex-like quality about it. It is seminal and productive at the same time. The seeds of words produce ideas. The seeds of ideas produce goodness knows what. The whole blessed thing is a male and female at one end at the same time. In fact the whole thing is pure sex. We've taken aspect of it and called it sex, or made it self-conscious and called it Sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;And again I agree.. why not just see sex by which something is brought forth or 'borned'.

A single step of a thousand miles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, and hour, an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am reminded of a song by Darren Hayes called "VOID"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I let a stranger love me&lt;br /&gt;I gave away my pride&lt;br /&gt;I bit my lips, so I could block my mind&lt;br /&gt;I've called your name to others&lt;br /&gt;Just like a spinal chord&lt;br /&gt;Severed and broken but the spark still tries&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And doesn't anyone fill the void?&lt;br /&gt;Doesn't anyone kill the joy?&lt;br /&gt;Doesn't anyone take the place of you in my heart?&lt;br /&gt;Doesn't anyone fill the void?&lt;br /&gt;Doesn't anyone kill the noise?&lt;br /&gt;Doesn't anyone take the place of you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now i feel like a void whom no other can fill..&lt;br /&gt;I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.&lt;br /&gt;I don't expect to be loved back in return. All that i expect is my love should not be treated as a 'burden' or 'responsibility'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I love you. It's not a weight you must carry around.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I love you. It's not a box that holds you in. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I love you.

It's not a pedestal you are frozen upon. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I love you. It's not an expectation of perfection. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I love you.

I was reading this amazing novel called Mister God This is Anna by Fynn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;It is one of the most simple books i have come across..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;while going through it i came across this paragraph and was really inspired and i very much agree to it. This is how it goes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Anna's misery was for others. They just could not see the beauty of that broken iron stump, the colors, the crystalline shape, they could not see the possibilities there. Anna wanted them to join with her in this exciting new world, but they could not imagine themselves so small that this jagged fracture could become a world of iron mountains, of iron plains with crystal trees. It was new world to explore, a world where few people could follow her. In this broken-off stump was a whole new realm of possibilities to be explored an to be enjoyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I can very much relate to her feeling of misery. How true it is today. We have become so busy with ourselves that we just do not appreciate the small beautiful things in life.
