Playing with shadows

I read Haroun and the Sea of Stories a while ago. I didn’t know that the book was meant for children, and had bought it because it has been written by Salman Rushdie. Among other stuff, this delightful book describes shadows in an imaginative manner – read it if you get a chance.

Shadow play was the highlight of this boring film.



Remember DDLJ?

Simran's mother (played by Farida Jalal) asks Raj (played by SRK) - “Kaisi ladki chahiye tumhe?” (or to that effect) In the background, Simran (played by Kajol) looks wide-eyed at Raj knowing his propensity for giving clever answers. Raj says, “Yoon samjhiye bas aap hi ki parchaai ho!”

If you didn’t know about the Raj-Simran affair, you would merely smile. Farida Jalal does exactly that.
