Big B B(L)ACK from Acting Alzheimer's

Finally I saw the movie BLACK,the story which is symbolic in sense that Big B finally discovered what he lost after his days of Anand, Namak Haram, Janjeer, Alaap, Saudaagar, Trishul, Manzil

Yes ... finally after groping in darkness all thru 80's and 90's where he ended up with wrong directors, wrong projects, doing same rhetorics over and over again Amitabh has redeemed himself,re-invented the actor inside him

The journey of Michelle from darkness to light and the Man who guided her through the journey and how she does her bit by helping her Guide back from Darkeness in other form, Memory loss is Good

Amitabh, Rani Shernaz Patel and Ayesha Kapur have done a real brilliant job.Ayesha really amazed me of them all

But same can't be said about Sanjay Leela Bhansali. There are so many gaps ,continuity gaffes ..and overall as an audience I couldn't gel with the movie running on screen.

But that he is returning to fold to making good movies after his Khamoshi days is definitely good sign.

Movie is must watch .......

Time to Learn.

A young but earnest Zen student approached his teacher, and asked the Zen Master:"If I work very hard and diligent how long will it take for me to find Zen."

The Master thought about this, then replied, "Ten years."

The student then said, "But what if I work very, very hard and really apply myself to learn fast -- How long then ?"

Replied the Master, "Well, twenty years."

"But, if I really, really work at it. How long then ?"asked the student.

"Thirty years," replied the Master.

"But, I do not understand," said the disappointed student. "At each time that I say I will work harder,you say it will take me longer. Why do you say that ?"

Replied the Master," When you have one eye on the goal, you only have one eye on the path."
