Life

A life of choice
A life of freedom
A life of dignity

That's what
Every woman
Wants in every
Vicinity.

All the Songs are Excellent

Audio as well as Video - nicely picturised on Rekha and Vinod Mehra

Lyrics are by Gulzar and Music is by R.D. Burman.

The movie is okay, not my favourite, but all the songs in this movie are my favourite.

This film was released in February 1978. It was directed by Manik Chatterjee and produced by N.N. Sippy.

I give the songs a rating of 10/10 and the film a rating of 6/10.

Rekha and Prema Narayan acted well. Vinod Mehra could have done better.

That's my opinion. Yours may differ. So to see how good the movie is, you can click here.

15 Days

15 days of

Not seeing

You, I'll really

Miss you, hope to

Return soon to you,

And show you again

With my loving eyes,

How much I love you

And how hard it is

For me to live without

Seeing you....

See if you Like this Movie

It has one of my favourite actors - Varun Dhawan, the talented son of the famous film director David Dhawan.

It has an unusual story depicted beautifully. A good, clean movie that you can watch with your family. 

Varun has been paired with Janhvi Kapoor. She's the daughter of Sridevi and Boney Kapoor. 

All the actors including Janhvi played their part very well.

I liked the movie but not the songs as I found them to be mediocre. Hence, I give this film a rating of 7/10.

Bawaal (2023) has been directed by Nitesh Tiwari and is available on Amazon.


Happy Viewing :-)

Cheers

25 Years

25 years of Google, 25 years of us :-)

Google is celebrating its 25th Birthday today.

This year, we also complete 25 years of us i.e. me and hubby having a silver jubilee of our wedding anniversary with 25 years of togetherness.

Our court marriage was in August 1998 and our social wedding with all customs, rituals and guests was in December of that year.

When my in-laws hosted our wedding reception, my father-in-law had sincerely requested all guests not to bring any gifts except good wishes and blessings.

Some of them didn't heed his words and gifted us cash, the following week, my father-in-law went and returned all the money.

He was also a staunch opponent of dowry and so no demands were made on my parents.

I'm deeply bonded to my mother-in-law who's a sweet and simple lady with a heart of gold.

My husband is blessed to have such good parents who've always been loving and caring towards him. Like his mother, he's also a gentle, noble soul.

Now let me move on to appreciate Google as it's Google's special day today and I'm thankful to Google for Gmail, Photos, Android, Search, Apps, News, Blogger, YouTube and all the other useful tools Google has given us to make our lives easy.

Long live Google and its Doodle :-)

Once again, let me say - Happy Birthday Google !!!

Cheers
Aparna

Six Pix

The other day I and hubby went on a short drive in Yorkshire.

We parked in Saltburn-by-the-Sea and took a walk to see the North Sea.

So here's sharing six pics with you for you to see :-)

Brotton

It is the birthplace of the English sculptor and illustrator Charles Robinson Sykes. He was the designer of the Spirit of Ecstasy bonnet mascot of Rolls-Royce cars.

Brotton is a village in the North Riding of Yorkshire in North-East England. Here are some scenic views of this picturesque village. The photos were taken from a hotel where we stayed for some days.
