so this biggest bummer about being in bed is being asked have you seen x film? ofcourse i haven’t–i’m in bed, pain and bandaged….but this weekend, despite the pain and inspite of the fact that the bandage doesn’t like being held in jeans i went to watch all the movies i wanted to….true by sunday i was in bed with fever and a cold…..but i can say-yup i’ve seen it!

so here goes!

3 idiots- remarkable, funny, i thought my guts would come out laughing….i loved it! what a remarkable director –to be able to keep the audience engaged for every second of the film is no mean feat—my first movie outing and easily my best trip this year!

avatar- slow! when people say they love the universe james cameron created…i have to say – sorry- Gd created the universe, he kind of just re-coloured it! i love the director….i didn’t like the film! if this were a hindi film , we knock it because of a weak story….why keel over because its in english !?

anyway these are my views on these 2 films….urs could be different and that’d be ok too!

saying goodbye to this year—wow that’s tough….there’s so much i was allowed to achieve, so much i was able to do, so much i’m proud of! there were the fights, the pain,the tears but there were the highs, the cheers, the wins!

i’m so proud of making the cut- i was able to create a show that was all about talent! i was not part of the voting process as director…and we left it to the professionals and some incredible models and designers got some incredible, CLEAN BREAKS!

i’m so proud of ‘ a personal war’—going to edinburgh and collecting all the money for the police commissioner’s office! finally i could do my part for the brave heroes of 26/11…

i say bye to this year with alot of sadness….it taught me so much. i know i have much to learn but to 2009- thank you for the music, thank you for the tears, thank you for the laughter, helping me to overcome the fears!

so i haven’t been blogging, logging on or doing anything on the computer because of a surgery i went thru last wednesday….! i had to remove some cysts.

suddenly in a hospital environment u realise how important the people around you are….

i am embarrassed to say i cried. cried because i thought i’d die. cried because i thought i’d lose them. cried foolishly, loudly and for a heck of a long time!

i am not dead! but i did find new respect for life!

while being rolled in to the operation room , i theatrically thought of a poem that i want to share,

if i were to die today

if i were to die today, i’d want you to know,
that without you i would not know which way to go,
if i were to die today any path would be futile,
cos at the end of the day what counts is your smile,

if i were to die today, i’d want to have said,
that without you my life would be worthless and dead!
if i were to die today i’m glad i loved you,
cos you are everything that’s precious and true….

if i were to die today i’m glad i could see,
how much you truly meant to me….
if i were to die today i would like to say,
that i’m glad i was a part of your life, i wouldn’t have had it any other way!

very filmy and over the top….i agree….but without my family i wouldn’t come out so unscathed with just a few bumps and a heck of alot of bruises!

so from me in my bandages ( which i have to wear for 2 weeks & not climb stairs) to you- merry xmas!!!!!!!!

life happens when ur busy making other plans…truer words have never been uttered!

and yet u think u control ur life and still think u know what’s coming…

i’m amazed at my stupidity sometimes…

think about this i’m in my early 20’s…compering , doing films, teaching theatre, just started my own company with a 2 hugely successful plays….and the adem….thanks to which i really worked on my company, really started directing, found my niche, got married and became successful….but what if?

the if didn’t happen and yet sometimes i still think i know my future and i still think i control my life…guess what? i don’t …neither do you…all you can do is keep working because along the way the right path will be shown to you…the correct door will open and u will find what you’ve been looking for!
