Daydream delusion
Limousine eyelash
Oh, baby with your pretty face
D
rop a tear in my wineglass
L
ook at those big eyes
S
ee what you mean to me
S
weet cakes and milkshakes
I am a delusion angel
I am a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
D
on’t want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we’re going
Launched in life
Like branches in the river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I’ll carry you, you’ll carry me
That’s how it could be
Don’t you know me?

Don’t you know me by now?

— Delusion Angel by David Jewell (Before Sunrise)

Bombay Talkies

I watched “Bombay Talkies” with Ayushi & Ayushi. :)

Which story did I like the best?

Definitely Zoya Akhtar’s. A little boy wants to dress up and dance like “Sheila”. His parents, much like us today, are scared of raising a son like a daughter. We have always taken pride in raising our daughters like our sons. But the vice-versa? Nah!

Actually, more than that, the story is about believing your dreams, and following them to make it happen. I just picked up on the feminist issue. :)

I also liked Dibakar Banerjee’s story too.For a 25-30 minute movie, the story, and the character was quite deep.

Go watch it if you’re free! :)

We demand to be independent and we insist on being accepted. This is how it works in the best relationships. We adapt to the way of life around us, yet often we are painfully singled out and ridiculed for that which makes us unique.

I can see you go on

All day long

Whether you sing a song

Or just hum along.

I can see you stand strong

Beside me,

all life long.

I can see you across miles

Whether you smile

Whether you walk in style

or just talk awhile.
