With power cuts on weekends you really get some time to
wonder about the everyday chit chat we go through some by
necessity and some just by chance.
Last week sometime in tea break with the lead away ,the only 3 girls now in the team of three diff age groups (each 4 yrs older than one)sit together and try to chat up.We dont have much in common though in the worldly perspective pretty much the same.
Its a boring chat sort of but when i look back on it with no power and from a dark balcony i am amused.
A electronics company had put up some television at our office for employees for the day and Baghbaan was playing we noticed.
Me: oh god now in office they play this
Su: Salman overacts a lot in this
Me: When does he not
B: yeah its like for granted
Su: Only in HAHK he was good
Me: No he was good in MPK too
Su : As movies increase they get this way
Me: yeah acting to overacting
B: But then Shahrukh too overacts frankly yeah
Su: Yeah but he's great in romantic movies
Me: True and it depends on the director to control, i
liked him in Swades.
Su: yeah but i did not like him in Don(plain obvious she
loved his romantic lines…ah but then dont we all)
Me; But i liked him in Don …i mean i guess i cant think
of anyone better
B: No no one than Amitabh
ME; yeah Amitabh is just him but other. Sharukh looked
most stupid in khaike paan banaras song.
Su:I even like KBC with Shahrukh
Me: yeah me too
B: No i dont, dont u think he's sarcastic
Me: Oh well that he has become even in interviews.
Thing was to me at least it seemed we all knew Shahrukh hams and has become sarcastic but we all remember our memories …the Sharukh Khan for whom first day first show was worth it(those days when you stood in lines of theaters no multiplexes). ….for whose movies bunking college was cool.Now we dont care if we watch in theater - forget first day.
We were open to critisize him but we still love his flattering romantic lines ( forget kkkk kiran )and soulful eyes in Kuch Kuch Hota hai.(I avoid that movies these days like hell coz i simply keep finding flaws as i see more…that simple charm is gone with all this repeat telecast).
And then at home someday had watched koffee with karan and my sis and i laughed at how wonderfully both Hema and Jaya said Shahrukh with such certainity given different choices.
My sis was like how much women of that era love that flattering fellow. Well sure they do and so do we .
Some people may be good or bad but you like to have such people about you.They have a charm about them - the people we call the life of a party ,a house , an office a generation or whatever.
And then i was happened to watch the last hour of Kabhie Kabhie somehow and yeah i love earlier part of that movie especially.
Amitabh looks so very charming….and well its a lovely movie.I just tell my sister kya angry youmg man ka tag laga diye usko. what a romantic young man he was in this movie.(I absolutely love to hear amitabh reciting poetry.)
My sister was like "kar raha na re ab romantic man movies amitabh ".I was like hmm demented romantic is it…and we laugh.
At the end i just remarked such bold and charming touching movies yash chopra made then….and now he's gone reverse gear.Culture overload or absolute mass choice stuff.
Then the power went off in the eve and i had nothing to do but wonder at all these things and laugh at my own self.
