My week days were so terrific...with meeting deadlines...but this quote always kept me motivated... :)...may be it will do to you too ;)
"You can eat an elphant if you do it one bite at a time. "- Robert Riley
and so....I finished my deadlines..by the end of friday...I could only think of watching a peaceful movie and relax at home ...:) isn't that strange for a person like me ...that too on a friday evening hahaah ...
"Self love, my liege, is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting." - William Shakespear
Well...I decided to watch 'In Custody' starring all great actors..Shashi Kapoor, Om Puri, Shabana Azmi, and the list goes on...its actually based on a novel written by Anita Desai.

But this movie really touched the cord of my heart...how 'Urdu' is fading away...in todays era...infact I always loved this language for its politeness and sweetness...and the poetry...!!!
"Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words." ~ Robert Frost
This movie left a sad thought...but Shashi Kapoor has done such a wonderful job..and I was thinking how come these ppl never got any awards...and ppl like Saif Ali...got National Award...for what.. 'Hum Tum'...damn is it the value of that award degraded or.....!!!!

aaah Muhafiz :))
reminds me of the mallu version... "Meelay tinna mullim tinnaam" ...If you eat slowly you can eat thorns too :))
I have read this book DON though I have seen the movie only partially.
Om Puri & Shashi Kapoor r great actors & I think they have won national award in the era of parellel cinema in the 80's. incidently Kapoor's wife Jenifer also won it for 36 Chowrangee Lane.
As for Saif i liked his acting skills in Hum Tum & Parineeta. Though its true that these awards are not always given on merit only.
