In Dallas for next 2 months!

I am here in Dallas after the stunt that I posted in my previous post and been busy with something or the other every night. I am getting used to staying in a hotel after staying almost for a year in a fully furnished flat in Cincinnati. We are not looking for any apartment now as it is decided that the assignment is only there till 31st March and it does not seem to me at the moment of getting extended. This is what happens when you have a customer who is so much strict on money.

Coming to Dallas, nothing has impressed me yet. I am really trying to observe and understand the TEXAN attitude as I have been hearing all along from veterans, who stayed in US for a while. Something that caught my eye in this land are George W Bush Pike, Davenport Rd., OHIO Dr. and etc..

I watched Rang De Basanti yesterday. It is so much humor with positive intentions and anyone who watched the movie would admit that Aamir's team delivered what they thought to spell out through this movie. Aamir has definitely become a brand now in Bollywood. At the age of 40, one has to have so much energy to play characters like one he did in Rang De Basanti with so much ease and most importantly live in the character as he did. Karan, played by Siddarth, is a character that we can relate to at least a friend, who strongly believes that there is nothing that could be changed and better live life as it comes. I just can't single out a character in the movie after all every character did what is needed to send across the message/script. Dialogues in the movie are one big asset. They are well scripted to be incredibly humorous and at the same time has enormous impact if someone watching the movie gives a little thought. There was a group who ignored their brains before heading for the movie and they were making all the comments that they could think to make it more humorous. They were very unsuccessful, I should say! HAVE FUN WATCHING THIS MOVIE!
