One Call too far away
Charlie Puth is a common favorite at home & kids have this song on repeat...
Great song but it irks me a bit each time I hear it. I mean... "Alexa play one call away"... & my heart kind of just tugs at me to say "Ugh no"! The stupid guy wrote lyrics that describe my one-call-away who's no longer my one-call-away.... someone whom I had to physically tear myself apart from the day I realized that the person was not one call away any more. Universe, let me be. Don't make it more difficult than it already is!

Ho ente Rajappo!!!
Watched this awesome movie during Christmas break and it turned out to be one of the most entertaining movies I've watched in recent times. Sure there are some loose ends but the fun, joy, excitement and idea of it all! It just gave me pure joy! I was grinning from ear to ear for the entire time of the movie... & then some more!!
Suraaj is an amazing actor with amazing talent but somehow the presence that Prithviraj has on screen - it is unmatched. You can love to hate him, but you cannot ignore him. He may be a showoff & at times brazen, but he is a brilliant actor and an awesome orator. Love to listen to his interviews no matter how much I'm told he's fake. Most of the times he says just the right things - whether he means it or not! I mean, how many of us are actually speaking the truth a 100% of the time we open our mouths. Take a job interview for example!!!
And his genes!! His dad was just as brilliant and so is his brother. The three are pure talent .. but I guess Sukumaran & Indrajit haven't got their due recognition unlike the luckier Raju. I love all 3 of them!
PS has this ability to create a depth in his scenes - no matter how insignificant the scene. There was this scene in driving licence where he says goodbye to his wife. Not very significant in the overall movie but the depth he adds... the way he looks at her... the look of a tortured man!! Absolute brilliance. He doesn't even have to utter a word!!
I can go on and on. But I'll stop here with this one song. I love the way he emotes for romantic scenes & it just seems so genuine. So close to what I have seen IRL (tongue in cheek).

My lil brigade had this song on repeat mode last summer. Blame Spiderman! My little N (nephew - or read son born from a sister-womb) is fascinated with all things spidey. Downside: a beautiful song lost its sheen.
Now, after a break, I chanced upon it and I'm learning to fall in love with it again.
Which makes me think there's soooooo much content out there. Whatever we have now - songs, pics... its not relevant in a couple of days! We're the fast-food-generation thanks to all this digitization. Cant really hold on to anything for too long... not even thoughts. Unlike the more stable last gen. I mean my dad still listens to his favorite songs of the 60's.
I sometimes hit the pause button & look at old pics. Not so old actually. Just from about 13 to 5 or 6 years ago..... relive those moments. I was telling the husband that time is passing too soon & I miss those days. He uttered some golden words (he doesn't do that often but has me completely dumbstruck on such occasions. Don't know where he hides the wisdom the rest of the time). He said "in a few years from now you will miss this time. So enjoy what you have".
Reaffirms something deep down. My defense mechanism might just not be too bad after all. More about that in another post.

I love this old woman for setting this example.
