Something I wrote years ago and remains close to my heart... The Dead Rose The dreams shattered and hopes asphyxiated of the bud that never saw full bloom cut from branch now in an expensive vase the plaintive rose sits blank,inert with a painted smile across the window it can see the wild,unkempt lilies in their radience blossoming and making a mockery of the dead rose . I like to study paintings and people. Coffee and shopping are two joys of my life. I like good music, movies, literature and Indo Pak cricket. I used to write a little( you can search for Soma Vashishtha at Poetry.com), but that was years ago and with mouthshut I’d like to rise from the ashes again !

Also regarding cancer patients at terminal stages, I don't think any doctor will refuse to treat them, how is it possible? Of course they will not give you any false hopes or guarantee success but not guaranteeing they ' their best ' is not accepable. But doctors, specially those who treat life t read more...
Hi Rahul I read this review yesterday and was stunned. I should have guessed when you had written a previous review on Dharamshila that you were visiting some cancer patient.....but the seriousness of the issue escaped me then.

Nice review, but not worth-in-a -hall-watch movie it seems more like a inbetween-commercials-of-a-better-movie -watch kind movie. Too many of this genre have come up. I liked the way you have written this, Soma
That was some encouragement...it lit my day!! I had wondered too (about the story) but had a feeling that it should be good.I have just touched the story ( in the review) so that it does not rob the future readers of their joy of discovery.. 2 video tapes thing is scaring me too, love So read more...

I've come across this phrase time and again and have only recently known the source Rhett Butler is the only real ( unfake if the word exists) in the story and so charming at that....I'm sure he must have turned the dialogues into legends.... Cheers Soma
