the namesake...

saw the "namesake" last saturday... a movie version of jhumpa lahiri's book by mira nair.
an awesome adaptation must say :)
brilliant acting by irrfan khan and tabu and young 'gogol'
brings out the emotions and related intricacies so very well....
tabu was brilliant as the young bride adjusting to the all together new surroundings and marital life... irrfan khan was as always great, the one thing that was strikingly good was his 'bengali ' accent... unlike the so many other serial and movies i saw this guy got the accent jus right... did not overdo like most others do...
young gogol was cute after his much needed haircut :) was good as the typical youngster who grows up to be responsible...

the rest were good, too..
my word.. go watch it... simply nice :)

the deep sea

mmhh watched a 3d movie called the "deep sea" about life underwater sunday last...
an awesome movie with kate winslet and johny depp as narrators .... she was good , he i thought wasnt too clear with his diction...
but the main starcast the aquatic animals were awesome... barring for a few weird lookin creatures and the coral reef dat gave me a gooseflesh, the rest like the jellyfish, the quicksilver[dats the name i think, condone if wrong], a particular 'molla molla" fish , the sharks and another very graceful predator apparently[4get the name, was too busy njoin the movie] were a treat to the eye...
a 50 minute coverage it sure was worth every minute...
the big i-max screen only added to the enjoyment :)

my birth'day'

well a late update, an update neverthless :)
so had a nice birthday... the day started late and lazy...
hit the gym, a close friend o mine came over enroute to her work...
went out to my fav restaurent with friends.lazed around.
evening was with family... my aunts n uncles and cousins came over 4 dinner... had a great time...
4 someone like me whos always kidlike and a kid at heart especially on my birthday this one was sure a lil diff...
for the first time in so many years i felt odd to cut the cake!
gosh is that a sign of growin up?!? dats sure then a cause of worry!
i do not want to grow up...its fun to be young at heart... growin up only dampens the charm in life...
well im hopin its only a momentary thing :)
all in all had a great day and the choclate truffle cake was yumm! slurp :)
