At the end of a ghastly year, what a special pleasure to see these talented actors together in this old favourite. We saw it at the Sophia Bhabha Hall. It’s a comforting play, with its sense of family, friendship and loyalty as it spans some 35 years of the nation’s history; and though the actors are themselves older and grayer than when they started out performing this production, we are grateful that it is still around.

…of movies that I haven’t been able to sit through:
Saawariya
Dasvidanya
Himesh’s Karzzz (we waited till the Tandoori Nights song)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (looks much deeper than it is)
There have been other movies that I have been tempted to walk out of: A Wednesday (I kept thinking it might get better, and it kept getting worse); Khuda Kay Liye (I decided it couldn’t get worse, so I might as well see the whole thing). I sat through Ghajini by closing my eyes whenever the violence began. Sat through Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi out of loyalty to Shahrukh Khan for Om Shanti Om and Chak De India.
