Movies I have seen in March ...

So heres the run-down of my March viewing .... Its Complicated An english movie that explores the 'complicated' relationship between a divorced couple. How they are still attracted towards each other and get back together a couple of times to make out and things bcome complicated and embarassing at the same time. The relationships are complicated and the acting superb. Steve Martin appears in a role which is very unlike him. I have always seen him in laugh riots and this was 'different' (No. he is not the husband. He is the OTHER guy) Atithi - Tum Kab Jaaoge ? A light comedy. An entertaining watch. Devgun, Konkana and Paresh Rawal ... all in their best elements. 2 songs in the movie and both become memorable if you watch them in the movie. A bhajan on the tunes of 'beedi jalaile' (hilarious) and a remixed version of an oldie "suhani raat dhal chuki, ... na jaane tum kab aaoge" ... amazing rendering of this one.

Books I read in March ...

Well ... March ended and here is my reading list for the month gone by ...   1. Six Suspects by Vikas Swarup Murder Mystery with 6 suspects... i liked the way the 6 suspects were introduced ...  The book almost runs along 6 parallel tracks untill it culminates in the actual murder where all the 6 suspects are present at same place ... It was also interesting to see how the lives of some of these suspects gets connected in those few hours Liked the twists and turns in the story at the end when the murder conviction shifts from one suspect to another and so on ... Its actually nice movie material and a relative of mine who is an Assitant Director in movies (and a budding Director) tells me that a movie is being planned on it already ... would love to see it when it happens !! 2. Area 7 by Matthew Reilly Yet another fast paced action thriller from M. Reilly. I read it in less than a week ... covering about 100-150 pages every night .. at times reading till 2.30 AM into the nig
