I never got to say goodbye...

IN LOVING MEMORY
Thanks for all you’ve done
I’ve missed you for so long; I can’t believe you’re gone.
You still live in me.
I feel you in the wind, you guide me constantly.
I never knew what it was to be alone, no.
‘Cause you were always there for me,
You were always there waiting..
Now I come home and I miss your face, so.
Smiling down on me, I close my eyes to see, and I know,
You’re a part of me
And it’s your song that sets me free.
I sing it while, I feel I can’t hold on.
I sing tonight, ‘cause it comforts me.

I carry the things that remind me of you.
In loving memory of, the one that was so true.
You were as kind, as you could be.
And even though you’re gone, you still mean the world to me.
I never knew what it was to be alone, no.
‘Cause you were always there for me, you were always there waiting.
But now I come home and it’s not the same, no.
Feels empty and alone, I can’t believe you’re gone.
And I know,
You’re a part of me and it’s your song that sets me free.
I sing it while, I feel I can’t hold on,
I sing tonight, ‘cause it comforts me.
I’m glad I set you free from sorrow.
I’ll still love you more tomorrow and you’ll be here with me still.
What you did you did with feeling,
And you always found the meaning.
And you always will.
And you always will.

New York

“Buck Fush”. That’s the most captivating line in the newest Bollywood flick New York, starring John Abraham, Katrina Kaif and Neil Nitin Mukesh. Kabir Khan has made remarkable progress in movie-making after Kabul Express. Neil Nitin Mukesh has been given a nice sober look and of course, his acting is top notch. He is a typical lover boy of the 21st century. Katrina Kaif is like a fresh ray of sun light. She looks extremely beautiful and has expressed herself more clearly than in her other movies. As for the protagonist, John Abraham, he looks dashing as always and has performed well. He has vague expressions at some parts of the movie, but fits the role perfectly.

It is not possible to decide if New York is a movie about Terrorism or about the American FBI. I consider it the latter, given that the whole movie revolves around the life of three friends, whose lives change drastically due to the FBI’s doings, post 9/11. There are few twists in the movie but many scenes may shock you and antagonise you, especially the torture scenes; they have been shot very well. The basic plot of the movie is not very original. I rather felt they copied a few ideas from the Hollywood action flick The Departed.

The filmy gaane, as I always feel, was unnecessary. They don’t make a difference in the movie whatsoever. There are a great deal of scenes in the movie that underline the fact that New York is a Bollywood movie, like they three of them running on green fields, slow motion running and that. The movie might make you walk out of the theatre cursing George Bush and the FBI or might just make you unsure of what to think, because the main intention of the movie is not put across very clearly. All in all, an entertaining movie, worth watching once, with friends or family. I’ll give it three on five.

(The funniest part of the movie was when the guy in front of us yelled at Avi because she was talking too loudly. This was only when the advertisements were playing! Priyam got pissed off and told us to close our ears and told the ending of the movie loudly and the guy turned and said “Thanks a lot!” Priyam hid her smirk, smiled brightly looking at him and said “You’re welcome”. Haha!)
