the namesake..

I was recently going through an intensely difficult personal situation and I recently read this most amazing novel called "The Namesake" written by Jhumpa Lahiri. you ask what is the connection.. well there is a very good connection.. both to some extent told me the importance of a father in one's life.. and valuing him..

unlike the protagonist who realized the value of his dad only after his dad passes away , I realize the value of mine every time I reach out to him after a personal crisis.. always he says the same thing: you are a golden girl.. things will get sorted out.. I spoke to god yesterday, he assured me that things will become alright.. but these words, coming from my dad is so reassuring.. suddenly I have the courage to face the problem.. face the world.. how can things be so wrong if my dad is there to support me?

anyways.. my word is this.. reach out to your parents when you want.. they are the pillars of your world..

Ala Vaikuntapurramlo

There are few movies that I have admired in all aspects (that are not manirathnam's that is!).. but recently this Telugu movie made that...
