Jugnuma - The Fable - PRSPCTVS Prdctns

 First off - Manoj Bajpayee - forgot to mention in my Bihari actors idols list

https://youtu.be/XyqKntAgPLA watch me wax eloquent about the movie


Slow movies set in the Himalayas, where my home is, entertain me a lot

Because they make me nostalgic, and make me think about ecotourism

Typo subtitles - village chief's daughter's wedding - double wedding trip

Jugnuma is set in 1989 so there are quite a few anachronisms but it's ok

It's ponderously slow in most parts, it's very laid-back - until it fires up lit

Shot in high def but shown in grainy old-timey cigarette burns [fight club]

A little brother asks older sister to come out of the room and play - frozen

Firefly jugnu flying in sync and their surreal swarm light pulsing collectively

Movies are make-believe, so we suspend our disbelief - this was too slow

But sometimes we need to slow down a little to appreciate our privilege :)

No nature was harmed in the making of this film - i like this NEW disclaimer

A Cascade of Conversations.

It is a convenience to not have to type a datestamp, so I waste a line on it. The conversation I had with Mr. Malik was hurried; if its depth were to be mapped by sonar, it would be very irregular. The air time was pretty evenly divided, I think, although I know my egotistical thought process gives me way more credit than I'm due for. Still, no, wait, not still, I also committed a grave error of leaving out a person from my life history, despite saying in the same conversation, at a different point of time, words to the effect that a nurtured grievance tends to intensify negatively over time. I hope I have not slipped up too badly. Mahak pressed the red button when I called right now. With Mum, I knew in my heart she knew I was going to be serious about Mahak. Hence, at an opportunistic moment was exploited to full advantage, meaning no negativity whatsoever, and Mum accepted the news with good humor; I think her apprehensions are going to wait till December. Now, I have two things...
