Interstellar !!

Interstellar. 9.1 imdb rating so far. Reviews said phenomenal and criticism, well, there were none. Now lets get to the real world. Before watching it myself i asked people who has already watched it, read comments of the review articles and found numerous doubts they were asking. After watching it i realize, movie is not for art and commerce students and also not for science students who never studied Physics. Physics students will love it for sure. I myself being a physics graduate, i could relate scenes in the movie to my relativity class, where we used to discuss why it will never be possible to travel back in time.

I must tell you, theater was house full. First time in US i saw a theater jammed packed. we arrived an hour before still to find seats in further rows. all back and good view seats were already taken. whole movie i saw my neck half tilted upwards and moving slowly like a old table fan. IMAX your screen should be far more away from the seating area, don't try and create a warm hole (oops as my friend corrected, its wormhole :P) between the screen and me.

Once movie started there was no sign of people around. they all were busy noting down the doubts to search later. in between even i wondered why Matt Damon wanted to kill Matt Macconaughey and why there was a blast when old guy tries to punch in his fingerprints. where did Ann Hathway go? how come Macconaughey fell in a black hole and could still receive messages, oh leave that how come he was still alive? And worst of all when the whole earth is having scarcity of food, how the hell there were beers in almost every scene spent at his home, well, after all perfection is relative as well. If not all at least few of doubts were very well explained here.

Overall a nice movie, with wonderful graphics and superb background music. brilliant acting by all the cast. After a long time watched a movie in theater and it was worth it.

Another thing with this movie is, it is forcing people to know about things like black holes, wormholes, relativity and space time theories. In a way this has acted like a catalyst for people to learn about our universe, to learn about time is not constant and is relative to the speed and gravity. i always wondered when our professor said we would stop the time from moving if we travel with a speed of light, and as you increase the speed further you are actually, making time to run opposite, you are going in the past. But after reading more i realized that physically it was not possible as not just time, it makes your mass as well infinite. Anyway i should not go into all those, there are already enough of data to read on internet.

Halloween !!

First of all, being an Indian i do not understand the concept. I mean celebrating ghosts are something contrasts to our mentality. you see we don't be happy to see ghosts. from childhood on wards my grandma kept saying, 'khana kha le varna bhoot aayega' and naive i was to eat the food like all others my Indian brothers and sisters. Here it was different. children were happy to see ghosts.

I never was intended to attend any such party but i did. you can face a ghost but a lady INSISTING to accompany her. i wrote insisting in caps if you missed to notice. So here i was, on a Friday evening sharp 8, dressed like a waiter, black business suit on a white shirt. i was told not to wear any tie. she came in her shiny red KIA and waved. I was already doomed to see her in a red dress with red horns on her head. red gloves were covering her arms till shoulders. a big pointy red colored rod in the back seat was popping out. suddenly i started doubting my own vision. was there blood in my eyes or there are really red objects all over.

'what are you?'
'devil'
'I bet'

she jumped to pick the rod and only stopped when i added 'just kidding' at the end. we reached the
venue and it was already crowded. all kind of ghosts, funny of course were roaming around, eating, drinking and eating more. she took me in a corner and added a red color big collar to my blazer. it was like a half ice-cream cone around my neck, then a red colored cloth was added on my shoulders like superman.    

'whats with red color?' i asked almost sure of not getting any answer and i didn't.
'Now you look like a vampire.'
'wow! can i bite you on your neck?'
'not now, later' she said and pulled me into the party. the party was in her society so she knew few creeps here and there. she introduced me to them. well only one i remember was wearing a crocodile mask, i mean really creepy.

Rest of the party was spent drinking blood. i mean these guys are really obsessed with red. even the lights were red. making even water look like blood. i am not saying that i drank only water. by the time it was midnight hall was so full that there was no space to walk. i miss Mumbai local trains in such times.

I looked around for the lady devil who accompanied me here and there she was.

'party's over'
'yeah lets head back'

and the night was over. moral of the story. Halloween is nothing but a fancy dress party, where you have very limited options after all our fancy dress consists of doctors, politicians, beggars, vegetables, flowers, rajnikant and so on...less creative these Americans are.
