Roll over Roy's writings

"to not say something is as political as to say something"
- Arundhati Roy

so true in the context of life i am living now...

"when you’re writing fiction, the world is different because you, sort of, come home with sentences like other people come home with shopping"

"There’s such a polarisation and hardening of things in the world around. There are other languages in my head now. It is not the English-speaking world I move in all that much anymore, even though I do think it’s necessary to engage with it and not lose that feeling of continuing to journey between these worlds.Less and less of us are doing that."

and for more who roll over roy's writings, here's something to savour

Vivek's masterstroke

Vivek's written an article on India-Aussie series and in midst of his article he came up with this masterstroke...

"Sometimes, a question alone assumes more importance than any possible answer. I am very happy to be a part of the question itself and not delve any further into finding answers because there are no “correct” answers to these questions."

waah dost.. khush kar diya.. poorane din yaad aa gayye... keep writing....

Where is Kiarostami's home?


Kiarostami is GOD!

had thought that i had seen all of his works..but recently saw "Where is the Friend's Home?"...and i am blown away by it...

If film students think Majidi's Children of Heaven is the best of what Iran has to offer, re-edit your list guys....

Dear Mr. Kiarostami,

if films are life, you are its oxygen!...
