Path of Fire.

I haven't posted for a while now. I had nothing exciting happening in life. Not that anything exciting has taken place today, I just missed the New Post window.

I watched Agneepath today with my family. It had enough bloodshed to gave my mom a headache and Dexter Moran a smile on his face. The movie is a really good one. Hrithik Roshan is boss. Sanjay Dutt could have replaced Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort, all 'Kancha' needed was a wand instead of the cigar.
The movie magically jumps 15 years from one scene to the other, and a young boy playing 'Vijay, transforms into Hrithink Roshan and somehow even changes the colour of his eye from a deep black, like his mother's to a mystical green. No contact lenses, mind you, Just pure magic.
Logic tells us that a person should die if he has his back bone stabbed couple of times and then have his chest slashed with a sickle and then have a blade sticking out of his abdomen for atleast 30 seconds, but if logic had its way, Indian cinema would have missed out on jewels like this - 
Overall, Agneepath is is pretty nice movie, there is energy in every scene and the movie keeps you hooked. Wouldn't be surprised if Hrithik Roshan walks away with the various awards up for grabs and if toy companies started making Kancha bobble heads.

The poem, Agneepath is a classic and it makes sense if you can understand the gibberish (Hindi)...
वृक्ष हों भले खड़े
हों घने, हों बड़े
एक पत्र छाँह भी
मांग मत! मांग मत! मांग मत!
अग्निपथ! अग्निपथ! अग्निपथ!

तू न थकेगा कभी
तू न थमेगा कभी
तू न मुड़ेगा कभी
कर शपथ! कर शपथ! कर शपथ!
अग्निपथ! अग्निपथ! अग्निपथ!

यह महान दृश्य है
चल रहा मनुष्य है
अश्रु-स्वेद-रक्त से
लथ-पथ! लथ-पथ! लथ-पथ!
अग्निपथ! अग्निपथ! अग्निपथ!

This is what my horoscope had to say - "Lost in despair and wallowing in self-pity, you may not have noticed that you’ve been creating immense interest in all the right places." Just saying, not drawing any conclusions because who reads the horoscope anyway. I do now. But yea, just saying.....

And -
I would like to call this, my life in words. The girl is there for viewing pleasure.

If you think otherwise,
