Reco!

Pointing you to one of my favourite movies of all time. Neo-realism at its best on camera. The Sisyphean 'Man Push Cart' by Ramin Bahrani. Watch watch watch, but be prepared to be moved without being manipulated.

Bahrani has made 3 films and one short & is Ebert's Director of the Decade. I've seen Man Push Cart & Chop Shop, easily some of the best films ever made about the poor and the working classes. De Sica, Fellini and Visconti would embrace this phenomenal talent. Watch people!!

Man Push Cart is a 2005 American independent film by Ramin Bahrani that tells the story of a former Pakistani rock star who sells coffee and donuts from his pushcart on the streets of Manhattan.

Just considered a murder story where the victim is sent up in a hot air balloon and the murderer plots to bring the balloon crashing down by heating the air above it to a tremendous degree.. (and equalizing the temperature of the air below to that within the hot air balloon)

I really think 'Toppling' is a brilliant salted-peanut of a word. The
world will thank Arjun for it one day.

The Traditional German Onion Pie is being replaced on the plate of the regular Joe, er..Jerry, Strudel, Teuton, Oosterbuur, Bratwurst, Bavarian, Alamani, Brandenburger, Germani, by something known simply as the OctoPie...

Bahadur & Bela. Bela.

Why can't someone make a movie around Bahadur and Bela? For a comic first drawn in 1976 Bahadur from Indrajal Comics was pretty modern.
Probably the first Indian dude to team a kurta with jeans :-) And a live-in relationship with the delectably drawn Bela.
Anyone have any Bahadur comics they can lend?

Travelling in the rain, Dulls my brain...so..

Line of schoolboys,
Running wet on the main,
Plastic bags in employ ,
To keep out the rain..

Lead spying eyes,
Down memory lane,
While Nostalgia sighs,
Tears down window panes..

Now done with this doggerel, I dust nostalgia off,

So go find your own, Show & tell !!
