10th October, 2015: Dad is on leave and "beti ki shaadi karao" wave pressure is hitting high wavelengths. The true Indian mom: Sab ko naa, sab ko naa!! Kab tak humare upar bojh bane rahoge? Shaadi toh karni hi padegi. Aaj shaam ko ladka aa raha hai dekhne, aap yeh sab natak karke humari izzat mat uchhalo. Phalane Phalane logo ne bhi shaadi nahin ki, dekhi hai unki haalat abhi? (Tears following the melodramatic convincing) A true Indian dad: Beta, don't behave like that. You are educated and grown up. I expect you to handle things in a better way. A true Indian daughter who feels marriage isn't her cup of tea: In logo ko time kaise mil jata hai aise ladkiyo ko dekhne ka? Aap logo ko bhi bada interest hai ladkiya dikhane ka. Jiska jo hona hai ho. I know what I want to do with my life. Aur yeh shaam ko jo aa rahe hai, aane do unko, batati hu.

They say, "Go to Goa, party harder, get drenched in boose and walk red-eyed on grass. It is Goa. Goa is high, hyper and hippie." I heard that all and knew that there is much more to the specified highs here. On a psychadelic trip away from the horns and hustles, this part of India has to offer the most well defined culture, heritage and essence of it's own existence. Having quit my corporate enslavement lately, this was a much awaited exploration of my life. Being a mesmerized traveler on Konkan routes for five years, I was very much fascinated by the tattooed firangs and the Kokam squashes at Margao Railway Station. I used to travel alone in my two-tier side berth most of the times and watched everything pass by, with a book in hand, sitting under the blanket. I never could relay it to anybody but there was an intuitive connection to this part of India. The moment I was offered an official visit here, all I could say without a second thought was a ...
Lemniscate is our fate and so are the certain arcs that frame us together in a loop, infinitely. The first scene of the movie moans the life to emotions of Devi. Indeed, making love is an art and the curiosity of all the senses within us proposes it all. Vulgar is the way the world accepts it. Vulgar is the notion when it is not bound to commitment. Vulgar it is when it is made public. Vulgarity lies in the secrecy of it. It was love, undeclared. It was love, that died. The sensibility of portraying sexual encounter is so intact that it galvanizes the awkwardness felt by a couple when they make love for the first time, in close association to reality. The morality of cheap thoughts emerges when it is spitted on the character of Devi, "tumhari zindagi toh condemn ho gayi" after the police intrudes in their private space and films her nude. As the plot progresses, the sheer simplicity expressed by Deepak as he falls in love with Shaalu takes us along to a diff...
