Remember now, those were the days when foreign films arrived later in India - much later.<br /><br />around that time, Father Gilson would indeed be the class teacher and our guide for the final leg of the journey at SXS - and that would be 10.<br /><br />Have been hearing a lot about Paa and 3 Idiots. Everyone who's seen and knows about movies, is saying they are must sees. We do get them from the internet almost real time - but for good DVD (and even better media like Blue Ray these days) quality prints we have to wait a bit. Watching pirated and hall prints before that, in desperation, sometimes spoils the mood forever - a shame for movies of this kind.Subhasis Graham Mukherjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217016511957712859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30819742.post-59484075879616236882010-01-11T03:25:41.404+05:302010-01-11T03:25:41.404+05:30Dear Suvroda

My parents visit their very often too. <br /><br />We are back to the grind too. Our trip to Kolkata was good but I would forever regret falling ill and not meeting you. I even was buying tickets to Durgapur for a surprise trip but more than anything else the cold did not allow us. May be next time, I would be able to plan my trip to India in a much better way to make it more fulfilling. <br /><br />Regards<br /><br />TanmoyTanmoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472125805572571597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30819742.post-10116528816630573712010-01-10T13:20:44.168+05:302010-01-10T13:20:44.168+05:30Maybe I've changed a bit: thirty years is a lo...Maybe I've changed a bit: thirty years is a long time. Maybe I've had my fill of special effects on screen. Maybe it's because I rely these days on some old boys whose tastes are both good and generally agree with mine, and they have told me I haven't missed anything! Instead I watched <b>Paa</b> and <b>3 Idiots</b> and liked them both...<br /><br />A gentle correction: we were in Father Gilson's class (10) in 1979, not 77. And come on, I 'vanished from school' only for a day or two! But it's good to see that some people remember all those oddball things I did when I was young. Thanks very much indeed, Subhasis. A very Happy New Year to you and yours.Suvro Chatterjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01027202980259279420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30819742.post-21287490671494129182010-01-10T12:10:21.569+05:302010-01-10T12:10:21.569+05:30seeing 'Avataar' wasn't in the list of...seeing 'Avataar' wasn't in the list of holiday ToDos?<br /><br />Remember '77. Suvro disappeared from School for a whole week. He went to Kolkata to see Star Wars.<br /><br />His absence note on return had something like, 'had to go to see a movie which I knew I couldn't miss...'<br /><br />Father Gilson liked it. Impressed by the honesty as well as the passion to catch a path breaking movie.Subhasis Graham Mukherjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217016511957712859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30819742.post-16375797712541392422010-01-07T22:24:39.935+05:302010-01-07T22:24:39.935+05:30Thank you sir, for a wonderfully written blog post...Thank you sir, for a wonderfully written blog post.It warmed my heart and the last sentence reminded me of durgapur all over again......Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866254392918542641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30819742.post-17952338441661203062010-01-05T11:46:45.546+05:302010-01-05T11:46:45.546+05:30Thanks Arani, but you are too kind!Thanks Arani, but you are too kind!Suvro Chatterjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01027202980259279420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30819742.post-70396629585313060592010-01-05T11:04:38.679+05:302010-01-05T11:04:38.679+05:30Sir,

Reading this little piece of yours reminded me of Kipling and Ruskin Bond and Orwell.

Puri is a nice place, though it is becoming exceedingly populated and polluted. You could have paid a visit to Gopalpur-on-sea. I find that place very beautiful. <br /><br />This holidays I went back home. It felt good to meet all, specially my grand-parents. While my relatives, brothers, and sisters were running about in malls (an act that I particularly dislike to conduct), I was giving company to my old grand mother who can hardly walk a few meters properly. There was a special satisfaction in being with her. Sometimes it pains me to see her suffer. From this year onwards may all grand parents of the world be in as much joy as possible and get love from their children and grand children.Subhanjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13754980269154740990noreply@blogger.com
