Laga Chunari Mein Daag Review
Saw LCMD today, by the name of the movie anyone guess the storyline.
Yep its sad story.In terms of acting....everyone is amazing...especially Rani, Jaya, Konkana(in the mentioned order, as per me). Would say its a very well directed movie.

I cried so much watching it...its been a while since a movie made me cry.
So, if are interested in seeing good acting and have a tissue box handy...go for it.
Its a very touching tale.

The way Rani comes to city, in the hope of earning money for her family..telling her family lies that she has a job...so that they allow her to go...The scene where rani calls home to tell her mother she is coming back....where her mother barely hears her and just tells her about the problems...and later realises what her daughter was trying to say....lot of touching scenes...

The movie makes u think, so many people come to city in the hope of earning money for there family, such a small percentage of them really make it.

After seeing the movie, i remembered that today, while was on the street, met a couple with a kid..they asked me if i knew marathi or hindi...and i said yes..the husband told me that they had gone to tirupati and they had lost there money, if i can help them out...i was looking at them trying to find out are they being honest or not...he said he will send the money..i asked them what the fare is for a railway ticket...he said 200 Rs each. I gave him 500 Rs note, he then said there are 2 more people...if i can shell 500 Rs more...i somehow started doubting them...so just said no and moved on.

Sometimes it becomes very tough to differentiate between geninue and cheats. Sadly one bad experience and you stop trusting anyone.

I really hope this couple was geninue.

Indian Airlines Flight
After ages i recently travelled in IA. Normally when i have to travel via flight will think of private players and would never consider IA as an option...as with govt run airlines u will always associate poor service.
Thought lets give it a try...as the timings suited me well.

Was pretty curious to see how the flight experience will be...as the first flight i took when i was a kid maybe 7 yrs old was in IA. I remember very clearly that, as soon as we boarded, the air hostess came with toffees they had special mint toffees then...and i opened my hand to grab a good amount then i heard my father's voice telling me to pick just 2.
I was like...these adults they will never understand...why do i have to always act as a mature well behaved kid(as kids, my brother and me preferred sitting with mother than father..as father was strict :))...with a very sad face i picked two...luckily the air hostess could read my dejected look and gave me a handful of toffees...i was thrilled.

My brother tells me that, when the flight was about to land..we both unbuckled our seat belts and stood up holding the front seats and giggled when we experiences turbulence.

As i was thinking all this..waiting for the announcement to board the flight...got to hear that the flight was delayed by 20 min's...as soon as we boarded the plane..got to know there will be 20 more minutes of delay...i somehow felt, this experience is gonna not be so nice.

When the flight took off..the air hostess came with tray of toffees...i searched for the mint toffees...alas...could not find it had to settle for the imli toffee..anyways was happy to get a toffee.
They offered us juice and later dinner...Must stay the cabin crew in IA is really very good, very hospitable.

Will surely travel again :)
