Epiphany: Movie Review: Monsieur Lazhar

http://rushwrites.blogspot.com/2012/08/movie-review-monsieur-lazhar.html

August 19, 2012. Movie Review: Monsieur Lazhar. I have been meaning to watch the movie since I heard about it on NPR. Finally, I did. With a 97% rating on rotten tomatoes and Oscar nomination, Monsieur Lazhar, written and directed by Philippe Falardeau, it certainly sounded promising. I have given away a lot of the film without intending to, and for that, I apologize. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Subscribe to my posts. Follow me on Twitter!

Epiphany: Chapter Five: Oleanders

http://rushwrites.blogspot.com/2011/12/chapter-five.html

December 25, 2011. The letter stays in my pocket weighing more than a ton of bricks. But before I deal with that I have to go to the police station to make sure the cops have an FIR registered for Khan’s death. 8220;Welcome back to Traffic Jam. I am Atosha, and I have caller Rajiv on the line. So Rajiv, tell us what song you would like to dedicate today” says the radio from the tea shop on the corner. It is a busy traffic light but people always have time for some tea. 8220;Wow, the Himalayas? It’s...

Epiphany: Shades of blood

http://rushwrites.blogspot.com/2012/09/shades-of-blood.html

September 09, 2012. Palette #4 was composed of these 5 bars: Black-Brown-Orange-Red-Black. Writing exercise was that the story had to be based on the Palette (#4) given to me. This is a fictionalized account of what happened in Dos Erres. Which is something you will never forget. I imagined Dos Erres to be composed entirely of Palette #4. Story told from Oscar's point of view. Apologies to Oscar. My real father puts his hand on my shoulder. I feel nothing, no recognition comes from within. I met him an h...

Epiphany: Spain Vignettes: Comida es la vida

http://rushwrites.blogspot.com/2011/07/tengo-hambre-was-one-of-first-phrases-i.html

July 28, 2011. Spain Vignettes: Comida es la vida. 8220;Tengo Hambre” was one of the first Spanish phrases that I learnt, and more importantly, never forgot, because of how important it is – “I am so hungry”. When I asked Ash. About planning a trip to Spain, Ash, who has been to Spain twice, wrote me a detailed reply. At the end of the email, he said simply, scratch all I said, just go for the food. Our first dinner in Madrid, somewhere near Puerta del Sol. This was the restaurant. Well, as you can s...

Epiphany: Chapter Four: You Said It!

http://rushwrites.blogspot.com/2011/09/chapter-four-you-said-it.html

September 01, 2011. Chapter Four: You Said It! Do you ever feel like we live in an increasingly noisy world? I have been around a long while, so I can attest to it. Open up your newspaper, switch on the TV, everyone is jostling to get your attention. And I am fairly certain that it has been getting hotter. It is hard for me to actually feel these things, admittedly, but I am very perceptive. But we are not here to talk about me. So where were we? After a koli’s. So Khan is dead, as are two more of Abhaya...

Epiphany: Chapter Three: The Sixth Tarot

http://rushwrites.blogspot.com/2011/07/chapter-three-sixth-tarot.html

July 30, 2011. Chapter Three: The Sixth Tarot. I have always been good at reading people. Trying to understand their motivations and raison d’être. Rishab seemed a bit put off when Manoj introduced me, but he recovered his composure very quickly. I wonder if it was because he recognized me, or if he disliked all journalists. In an interview with a women’s journal recently, I was asked if being born with a silver spoon made life a bit easier. I think back to the case. Three of my contacts are dead&#46...

December 31, 2011. Movie Review: A Separation. No, she tried telling him to do it himself, he doesn't understand and is helpless. It can't be a sin, right? Well, when he works the pump he gets a tip, don't let yourself be taken in.go get back the change, says Nader.

Epiphany: Movie Review: The Artist

http://rushwrites.blogspot.com/2012/02/movie-review-artist.html

February 26, 2012. Movie Review: The Artist. Its Oscar season, so this review seems fitting. His dog, Uggie, steals the show with his splendid acting, displays a wide array of tricks and shares superb chemistry with George. George and Peppy are amazing in their roles, and carry the film with their exaggerated performances, necessitated by this being a silent movie. The music is reminiscent of the silent film era as well. July 29, 2013 6:46 PM. Glad the review helped, Amber! Thanks for your feedback!

Epiphany: Chapter One: Smoke And Mirrors

http://rushwrites.blogspot.com/2011/03/chapter-one-smoke-and-mirrors.html

March 22, 2011. Chapter One: Smoke And Mirrors. May 13, 2010. I look for him as soon as I climb into the seventh bogie of the daily train into the city. I always choose this one because it is all the way at the back, and doesn’t get too crowded. I am worried for Khan, it has been three days since I saw him. And in the year that I have known him, he hadn’t missed a single day. 8220;I can’t take time off” he would smile and say, “We are preparing for court day”. I nearly dropped it. I thought of my four ye...
