Lewis Carrol's most famous work was 'Alice in Wonderland' n one of my favorite lines was the one by the white queen where she tells Alice- to always believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast…in line with this, I am happy to introduce this Christmas- The Nuts!!!
Mr Nut: An atomic engg who got bugged with the equations and switched to the market of bulls n bears. Hailing frm a family whr he had to struggle to hav a single meal, the nuts life chngd economically aftr his education n wedding to Mrs Nut. Mr Nut has his quirks, loves brewing Tea for his dotty, believes n supports campaigns such as 'save the sparrow', 'save the squirrel', 'save the street dog' etc. Happily donates 30% of his earnings to empower his fellow homosapiens [to the annoyance of his entire family]
Mrs Nut: Loves to rear earth worms, crazily artistic n growing bald, her entire family gives her gyan about hair bonding techniques n shes seriously contemplating shaving her head off or converting to a different faith [ faith being a celebration of humanity] shes thoroughly disappointed with the lack of creative pursuit by her children n describes Mr Nut as an obsessed, absent minded yogi…Having had a mother who was educated by a German Nanny n a Father who cut a political career, she sometimes has to tolerate the taunts of her crazily conscious n conceited relatives for the lack of style n glamour in her life…
Nut Junior: Loves animation, downloads n games on that junk box called a comp, can tinker with unnecessary and useless objects n make them reasonably useful, gave up on a tech career with the big blue n nw wrks as a relationship manager in the capital markets division of UTI. Claims his luv 4 numbers was left unfulfilled at the big blue. Is also a man of few words, always making character maps of all ppl surrounding his sis n thinks his claim to life is to protect her at all costs, his lov 4 sports is legendary
Dotty Nut: Unreasonably crazy… she wanders into multiple domains, her imagination is unbound n her need for freedom is annoying, she never lets anyone at peace due to her n number of questions, she luvs to give n gain attention but usually makes a suppr fool of herself due to her clumsiness….doesn't understand y ppl call her intelligent/smart as she thinks that she has no control… she has plenty of nicknames as she willingly allows ppl to amuse themselves n her…. oldest nickname wud b grandma as she wud weave a story around anything, even the simple need to eat… aftr watchn greenmile n undergoing sm pain due to an interfaith relationship she had in her blossoming yrs, shes decided to connect with the pained n distribute solace… in this quest, she drains her own energy n shes become conscious of the power of healing… n nw believes tat despite all her confusions, she will be able to make a difference only by loving n accepting the grey world…she loves books as mch as she loves herself n can write n speak with conviction…
So this entire yr ppl frm the Nut family will write to us to share, to celebrate, to agonize n sometimes to plain unwind n get rid of their own boredom…Eccentricity is definitely a strain in their genes wch makes the nuts so dear to me….n the nut family believes its their eccentricity wch adds perspective to the mundane n makes them celebrate each moment every day…
Dotty Nut especially wud be the scribe of the year as she wud share her thoughts on Goolya n her conversations, movies watched, holiday plans, recipes n primarily focuses on the unsung heroes of life from Muniraju, the auto dirver, who debates about the benefits that the british raj bestowed on us to his idol Kamaraja, ex CM of TN, etc to the very simple yet very strong Sapna Kareem a Hindu Mal who married a journalist n nw battles with rearing a differentially abled child to being a volunteer coordinator at Janaagraha..
So heres Dotty Nutty reporting:
Yellozzzzzz,
Its funny being a scribe, but its interesting life just keeps revealing itself…pssst psst she had 2 noteworthy conversations, one on Lucifer – the fallen angel n the other on the possible interrelationship between Mallus n Bongs [ 2 of her fav breeds of ppl :D], she also contemplated marrying her dear friend Marsha as thy plan to adopt a child together[hehehe], shes watched those two movies on the war between Light n Darkness called Day watch n Night watch almost everyday whenever she has time….
Nw to details ;)
Lucifer was a powerful Angel under the Lord Almighty, but he fell from Grace mainly because of his rebellious n revoltive spirit, God sent him away providing him his own abode, n wrote to all of his Children that we must Love the sinner, isn't it a paradox that the good in the world take time to care for the supposed bad n revoltive n dangerous world, n do those symbolic of the bad really suffer in hell as painted out?.. then wouldn't all the artists who created paintings wch were controversial, books tat were blasphemous also end up in hell for the creative license they took…but we all lov thm for their imagination n ability to differ frm the ordinary…the message of the Lord seems to be a bidirectional, best bet wud be to dispel belief itself J …
These thoughts became part of a conversation whn Gools started narrating the message of Day watch n night watch wch celebrates the balance that shud exist between the Light n the Dark… it's a series of movies wch doesn't typically celebrate the victory of good over evil, but hints at the coexistence of the two to maintain a healthy natural balance…the rigidities that Gools set for herself n wch made her judgemental towards ppl vanished bcause of this simple understanding, black n white coexist hence the greyness around
J powerful Christmas message, we will only choose either of the two on the basis of circumstances n the balance of our decisions makes us add meaning n value as we seem fit….
There was another interesting conversation wch dealt with the beauty of Mal movies n Bong movies, some of them are symbolic of cinematic excellence but many of thm tend to look n feel like soft porn, very subtle yet powerfully voyeuristic…n then this lead to classifying both ethnicities n the conversants concluded that there are 2 categories of ppl, either the intellectuals or the voyeuristic especially among the bongs n the Mals, thy also have a background of rich culture n distinct cuisine, maybe the food has an affect on the way they turn out :D
Dus Kahaniyaan was not disappointing but interesting in bits n pieces, some stories r based on mail forwards but very well made with stalwarts like Shabana n Naseeruddin n Nana Patekar acting in thm, the stories being 'Rice plate' n 'Gubbare' but the interesting ones were those tat featured Diya Mirza, Neha Dhupia n 'High on Highway' a good timepass with all stories having an underlying pain attached to thm…Gools likd it [ she loves movies so tat aint surprising :-@], the website of kiterunner the movie is beautiful n gools is looking fwd to its release, coincidentally she met a portal designer who freelances his service and doubles up as a musician, she intends to do his career profiling as she had perceived that freelancing ensures creative freedom, however, having met him she realizes that the challenges of a freelancing designer are aplenty almost proportionate to the money they make!!!
Did you know that the dude who made the famous campaign for Hutch was from OnM and was all of 22yrs, died of a heart attack due to the increased stress…Long road out of Eden by Eagles seems to add solace n lift her spirits whenever she hears such news or simply when she wants to get tuned out…
N news for the New year party seeker among us- Angsaana the resort has been well recommended, its private n understated luxury has become the talk of the town [most of gools friends are heading thr] the white themed party at Fuga is another party her friends seem to be attendin [but our bookish Ms Gools, as always prefers to stick around at home amidst her movies n music as she hates crowded parties n feels too old to party anymore :D]…The Gold Finch hotel will host a take off nite on 31 st, the attention to detail on each floor n the theme resembles the insides of a cabin with both bollywood n hollywood music being featured…the price for a couple being 3999/- the cake shop has an amazing mix of goodies at their Christmas counter wch Gools indulged to glory n is now trying to burn at her gym includes macaroons,carrot,date n walnut cake, almond rocks,stolen bread etc
