The Means to Visit the Mall #WriteAPageADay

By
The nearest shopping mall to our place is R City Mall in Ghatkopar. Earlier I used to visit the mall quite often. There used to be a bus, and I do not remember the number. This was my initial days in Mumbai. Later, either that bus stopped its service or had changed its route. And I started taking auto. My visits to the shopping mall became fewer after my daughter came into my life. 

Currently, I rarely visit the mall, mostly with my daughter. I always take an auto rickshaw. It is much easier that way. Now, there are 2 routes to go, one directly taking the JVLR, which is a longer route and the other through Hiranandani, where the road is bumpy but the route is shorter. I often insist the auto driver to take the shorter one, but one day, we got badly caught up in a traffic jam at the peak commute time. So nowadays, I prefer the longer route, especially when travelling with my daughter. 

Sometimes,  my husband also takes us there. That time we go by the car.

Mushy Mushrooms, Mini Macaroons & 5 Whodunnit Murder Mysteries to Watch on My Breakfast Plate

By

As the mother of a fourth-grade student, my mornings start at 5:30 a.m. daily. Making breakfast and setting up lunchboxes keep me occupied during those hours and since I like to keep it simple for breakfasts, they generally get quite boring, with either bread toasts or chapattis. (common story of a lot of moms). Sometimes our wishes can go to an extravaganza and the longing for a due break with a lavish breakfast consisting of some creamy- buttery mushy mushrooms sprinkled with roasted garlic, some berry-flavoured mini macaroons and to top it all a thrilling, chilling old-fashioned Whodunnit Murder Mystery Movie playing on TV just makes things perfect. Sounds like quite a plateful right? Since we have already made a grand plan of how my breakfast plate is going to look, let's narrow down the list of Murder Mystery movies that can be included in my watchlist. 1. Knives Out (2019): Imagine digging your fork into a plateful of yummy creamy mushrooms, tuning into Daniel...

Top 5 Films Based on Communal/Civil Wars and Internal Feuds

A couple of days back I watched a film, only to get a headache and I forgot its name too. But still, I watched it, some people won't change. Will they? Like nations in continuous wars and internal feuds -God knows what they get out of it. War has not done good for anyone ever. While their purpose is best known to them, my purpose as a cinema lover is to create a list of films that cover topics of Communal/Civil war and internal feuds:   1. The Killing Fields: I had no idea about the history of Cambodia, till I watched this 1984 film, during my mid-twenties. A nation that was absolutely devastated as a result of the killing of thousands of its citizens under the bloodthirsty Khmer Rouge reign - Killing Fields covered this history through the pen of a New York Times journalist and his Cambodian associate. The movie is difficult to watch due to the depiction of the horrid nature of the brutality that innocent people had to go through. Pran, the Cambodian journalist had to endeav...

5 Dumb Movies that are Secretly Clever

I have always avoided films like "Drunken Master" and other movies that begin and end with a fight. The same goes for mindless action films too. However, there are a few movies that I have watched that may seem incredibly foolish and dumb but if you manage to watch those you will realise they are quite clever. So, here is my list of 5 Dumb Movies that are Secretly Clever. 1. Tucker and Dale vs. Evil: When 2 worthless friends go for a vacation, their adventures turn into a disastrous misadventure and a massacre due to misunderstandings and unfortunate turn of events. This movie is gory, bloody and yet stupidly hilarious. The execution style is of a slapstick comedy with the chills and thrills of a gory slasher, making it a unique dark comedy. How some people's false assumptions about 2 people turn into a nightmare for both parties is the main story behind this goofy massacre. 2. One Cut of the Dead: In the beginning this film looks like a low-budget mindless zombie flick, ...
