A day in the life of Bombay

Trident is back to life. So is our Taj. Ashok Chavan is trying to prove his worthiness, we'll keep a track of that. Just read in the papers that a pack of little cats kept a one year old boy cozy in the cold winters, as it was left abandoned in one of the villages somewhere in Europe.They kept him warm by cozying next to him and gave him scraps of food that he could nibble on from what they found. Animals. They really aren't that dumb. When our own kin is wanting to kill the world of all its innocence. Animals still try their best to take care without us realising their language. Love doesn't discriminate. A warm hand, an advice, an acquiescence. A comforting talk. A moment of silence between friends. Love is just so transcendental. Through varied species too.

A friend got hold of a shoe from the streets, and wanted to throw it on someone who would be deserving enough for the hit. A lecher, a menacing drunkard. A rapist. A bribe-taker, if that's a word! But yes, that was the plan. We were so thrilled by the idea of a journalist being so brave enough to do what the world really wanted to. Breathing a sigh of relief. The journalist did what a good 'ol Indian mother would do, when her son has created so much trouble, that she really wants to break his back. She runs around the house, while he scrambles from one end of the sofa to escape from the doorway.But I guess, it's not just an Indian mother. It's a maternal instinct. But this boy called Bush, won't ever get away with what he did. That hit was a resolve against terrorism.

Aamir Khan's Ghajini is a remake of Memento. What would be more interesting to see is that how the director handles the complex scenes.Though it's not in my taste to watch remakes. I would definitely go for this one. It is a marketing tactic to see Ghajini haircuts at theatres playing Rab ne bana di jodi, Aamir would get an MBA degree just for that thought no?! Innovative Marketing, if that's what they call it nowadays.
