  • Movies That I Liked.....I watched a Malayalam Movie called'Vastu Hara' in Kairali T.V.yesterday.The story touches about losers who migrate abandoning their personal properties during divison of countries and realtes to the creation of East Pakistan called East Bengal dividing Bengalis .Also running underneath the main issue is the personal loss of property which gets rejected by the Mother in the story who is offered the same back by her Husband's relatives.

An Option.





We all have options in life.We can be friendly or unfriendly.We can be familiar or just reticent and shy.Some of the options are unconscious and manifest automatically.I have been thinking about the option for interaction via the web.The thoughts have been rather emphasised as I am reading a story by Mary Higgins Clark's novel called"loves Music,loves dancing'.A crime occurs as the girl answers an advt. in the personal column.

The personals in the papers seeking friendship and love becomes dangerous.So also I think is a net friendship.Why? Because one has the option to be someone else even with slightly altered half truths.It is a self satisfying and also a dangerous option when one opts to be seen in live presense.I think one really does not know another through the web.It is not like meeting,my neighbour's sister-in-law who dropped in yesterday simply because she has seen me.

So i take the option with a pinch of salt.

Jayamala.
