Movie review : Mumbai-Pune-Mumbai

A very romantic movie by Satish Rajwade.... and of course, i was not going to miss it. so, i quickly planned for the same as i found some resemblance of my life into it.

So,movie starts with the a nice shots of my "pune" as seen at the wee hours of day.Entry of heroin and hero is quickly followed by that. Heroin is Mukta barve ,who's name is not known to viewer till end and thus depicts "amachi mumbai" ,also have  same fashion madness in her costume (which suits her very well ). Now hero is Swapnil Joshi from "majhe pune" , who have a typical "puneri" mentality  ( i am gonna explain it later what is the meaning of puneri mentality :P ) and is not up to date in fashion. He helps her find a guy's address in a special puneri marathi ( Pure ,not like Mumbai's marathi  which is more like a hindi+marathi :) ) ,but, now heroin gets to know marathi culture in pune and also  world famous  Puneri Patya ..unfortunately she could not meet the guy and so again coincidentally she meets him again.

Now He is there to help her as he feels that "not helping a girl is against principles in pune" .. :P why he goes behind her is explained later at the end.  now, he becomes the knight in a shining armour  for heroin. He takes her to coffee shop , then to Sarasbaug , tulashibaug, visit to Sinhagad follows. Through out their visites to  places , they exchange their thoughts, principles and they begin to adapt each others language specific habits :) and most importantly their Past..They both share a  secrets with each other which they have not even shared with their family and friends.. In so small time, they bond so well that they just forgets about the "hurting spots" in their minds ( Hers being ex-boyfriend : Arnav  and his being ex-girlfriend : Sunkchi-a japanies girl) , This is sweet.. :)

Then, they also visits the  Dagadusheth ganapati followed by famous hang out place on FC road : Wadeshwar .. which becomes the last stop of theirs as she need to go back to mumbai .. Actually, she had come  to pune to meet that guy (who they name after his residence's name : Hridaymardaym )  and she is to tell him that she can not marry him. But, at the end she forgets everything abt him  and tells hero to convey her reasons to that guy.

Finally ,time comes when she needs to go back . hmmm.. They bid good-byes and don't even exchange numbers. he leaves and she awaits  train to mumbai. Then, few events happen which unfolds the mystery of the hridaymardaym guy.. that guy turns out to be our hero :)...

The thing i liked about this movie is it's simplicity and illustrative way of showing a difference between mumbai and pune and slowing diverting  that  to the difference between a boy and a girl and institution called marriage. :) .. Movie also beautifully unfolds the tender relationships that develops between hero and heroin ... I myself , think knowing each other's past is the best thing that can build relationship , now it is not necessary that we should stick to one's past.Past is just a way to peep in one's heart and to judge whether there is any place for us :)

Music is also good. It just creates the mood for the romantic situations  that movie demands.

What to say about  acting,Mukta did a fabulous job as a girl representing Mumbai, she keeps a dashing,bold characteristics through out movie but also shows a acute feminine behaviours like blushing when he proposes her.  The costume also suits her very well. Swapnil shows a unique "punery" guy and takes  claps on statements about pune. Overall, movie seems like pro-pune.. :) .Only thing i felt was wrong that, his dialogs contain many mumbai's local words.dialog shows he follows modified-marathi from mumbai's marathi itself..

Overall, a very good movie . Every couple ,especially, pune-mumbai couples must watch this movie.It will help you to better understand your counter-part.. :)

My first attempt at poetry ..

Hi all, here i am penning down my first ever creation ,my first poem ( which i wrote few months ago ).

what i have gotten into
I am in a whirlwind
whirlwind is in me or it is out?
I doubt.....

I am just thinking how i am here
did i fall by myself or one was there?
I see my beloved far from me
I see them but do they see me?

I am in parish, do anybody know?
if yes ,do they care, i hardly know
whole world is circling
I might fall and no one there to hold

I just want my beloved to know
how much i cared, loved each of them
May be not more than myself,but i tried.
I have no hopes left and i m in a whirlwind
rising higher ,higher and higher

It is just a simple creation of mine. When i heard  some deadly news about betrayal of someone back then, words just popped into my mind and i tried this... 

Book review : Act like a lady, think like a man

The title says it all ,the book is all about understanding Man's world.. :) ,a good guide for woman ( i may say, Steve's book is a knight in shining armor for those who are looking for help in relationships ) ,But. this book is good for those too who are in mid-of-relationship and can not figure out what is going wrong with them. Though, i do not fully agree with all of Steve's notes and tips ( somewhere i totally find it offending for we all females..) but, all in all a good read to understand/clear few misconceptions about your partner's world.

The big tip i got from this book is that "stop asking other woman for help on relationship issues", especially those woman who are in relationship. Just talk to your partner. Coz, after all, Man's world is different than woman's. Woman's world is soft, fragile.But, Man's world is harsh, he have to prove himself for every minute in some way or other. For woman, Socially ,it is not mandatory to prove herself :) .. If a woman is not doing anything to earn her bread and butter then no-body will care about. but, if a man is not doing anything then, everyone taunts him for his inability. This is fact.

According to steve, Man's love is different than woman's love. Her love is deep like oceans and high like mountains but his love is more rough yet caring. Man is always taught to profess,protect and provide everything to his lady and a woman makes him important by allowing him to give her those Golden Ps (stated above). Steve states all about keeping relationships with man, how not to loose your man, how to make him want you, what all general mistakes woman do in relationship, how men evaluate any woman when they first see her. Everything.

Another thought i liked is that, Steve suggests to woman that not to give blueprint of her likes ,favourites to her partner.coz, certainly, he will give her what she likes, but surely will not give his inputs,innovatives thoughts .Let him research, dig out your favourite and then see wonder in your relationship.

Few more tips  ( from him ,not from me :P ) :

1) Dont open a conversation with words "we need to talk" ... :) Steve says, it opens up guards of men. They go into defending position rather than conversing mode which is what woman wants at that moment :)

2) Form a two handed circle...Dont let ANYBODY come in between two of you.. nice thought.. not ur friends too nor his friends too

3) Men hate gossips.. :) :) :) :)

These are just excerpts from book. You must read book if you are further interested.. :)
