TV5 Monde has just managed to keep me hooked( For your information TV5 Monde is French TV channel) and I am NOT able to control my excitement after I started watching it from yesterday. Saw this movie called Après lui (After him) and I just loved it... It was intense , aesthetic and so appealing especially because I love the French language so much ! I loved the accent and even picked up some nice phrases :-)

I loved the character of Camille (played by Catherine Deneuve) because of her powerful potrayal of a mother battling the death of her son in a car accident. The sheer simplicity of the narration made it so appealing .Its an ordinary story which is shown in such an extraordinary way. The camera work, the background score and the two protagonists hold the film from beginning to end, not to forget the direction. All in all a perfect movie for the ones who admire french culture (like me) and people who have a good taste for world cinema.

I just finished reading another book by Paulo Coelho called Brida.........

Often I ended up comparing it with The Alchemist which I think is pretty unfair now.

There's nothing in common between them except the Author...but having said that I can't deny that the book has the typical Paulo feel to it. It talks of magic,witchcraft,trance, incarnation and the likes. I think it was a different journey altogether and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Though the storyline is very unusual yet there were many instances I could relate to (Thats Paulo's forte).

Now, I think I should read some other authors too (Yes reading is pretty addictive..)

Among other things I was thinking about this childhood friend(who claims to be a great friend now) who used to bully me as a kid. I was really vulnerable back then and didnt know how to give it back to her. I think I'll definitely teach that to my kids , how not to be a victim of bullying and give it hard on their face ! Or I guess that the next generation will be much smarter..*smiles*

I can notice the slow transformation I am undergoing, but then I have to keep my emotions in check and learn to calm down. My heart gets agitated so soon that it actually tests my ability to be patient. I have to pray for my progress in each section of my life and raise my self esteem...
