HELLO IS ANYONE THERE?

I had recently shifted from Delhi to a small town near Shimla due to my job as construction engineer in highway construction. It was a small town, not many people living there, but it was really beautiful and calm. I was given an official accommodation which had 2 rooms and one living room and it was little above on the hill. My area was very calm so even the slightest sound can be heard easily. I had one servant who leaves my place after 7 pm, so I am alone in home after 7. Many times I heard someone walking in my living room and upon checking I never saw anyone. There were instances that when I am sitting in living room watching TV after dinner I feel with my reflexes that someone is looking at me from the other corner. Once I got freaked out when I saw someone peeping inside through my window from outside and went out to see no one. I shrugged it off thinking it must be some villager from nearby. One day my sister and her husband arrived with their 6 year old boy, my nephew, for

THE WEEPING WOMAN

My great grandfather was a jolly man. It is an incident of 1800s. He used to go to work with his cycle crossing river Ganges which was a cremation ground. It was a normal day and he began his journey. After coming mid bridge of Ganga, he saw a woman sitting at the side of bridge. She was having a baby and weeping slowly. My great grandfather asked asked her what the matter was. She had a beautiful face. Her eyes were wide and charismatic. She said to him “My husband is admitted in an hospital far away, and I am tired of walking. I don't have money to take a transport.” My grandfather felt pity on her and gave her lift on his bicycle. He carried on his journey but after reaching a few metres he felt cycle a bit heavy but ignored. Later on it became so heavy that the cycle couldn't move. So he looked back. What he saw was horrible. This women was laughing in an evil tone. Her voice was heavy. And the baby was not there with her. Grandpa frantically threw away his cycle an

DRISHYAM MOVIE REVIEW

Drishyam  is a deeply layered duel between truth and lie. By placing an uneducated, harmless father and his family on the one end and cops at the other, Joseph sets the right tone for a riveting conflict. A family comes face to face with a crisis that could rip them apart. The crisis is sudden, unexpected and shattering. What ensues is not a meek submission to fate.   In this trail of human suffering, every lie they utter is prodded on, every hurdle they cross is cheered. It is as if Joseph lets the viewer share the travails. He slowly turns it into a conflict between parents, two different men and women waging a desperate struggle with each other for their kids. One does it to protect and the other to procure.   The story revolves around the fourth-standard school drop-out Vijay Salgaonkar (Ajay) who lives in Goa with his wife Nandini (Shriya) and their two daughters. He is a movie buff who runs a cable-video business. Crazy about cinema; he laughs, cries, plots and plans or f
