Taste of Cherry

On recommendation from an ex-colleague, I watched the 1997 movie Taste of Cherry by Abbas Kiarostami. 

While plenty has been read and said about this film, the process of watching it is an experiment in what is called slow speed

Its that delicious relaxed pace at which you actually feel like you are savoring life.

And the films meditation on the meaning of life and death allow for a much richer mastication on your own life, its various riches, vacancies and ultimately its primary motivators. 

Regardless of my lack of knowledge about the art of making motion pictures, I think this is a movie that might do any viewer a world of good.

Bus Chai, aur kya

No matter how good or bad the day is going, looking forward to the morning Chai and earning that evening Chai after a long day has a charm of its own. It's some incentive that drives you but doesn't show up in our bank statement or payslips.

The Climb

This was a recommendation from a good friend - borne out of a dinner conversation and talking about the great outdoors and pushing yourself to your limits and beyond.

The great thing about sleep deprivation is it puts the brain out of its misery of being efficient and focused.

“All this”

Most days I don’t want my son to grow up so fast. I don’t know if there is a term for this phenomenon. But parents often complain how fast their kids are growing up! May be we want to freeze the time so that we get to enjoy these precious moments longer.
