Back to Blogging!!

Turning 30…….

So I went and watched the movie “Turning 30” the other day. I had decided to watch it the moment the trailer first came on during a show of Raajneeti way back in July. Finally a movie that appeared to show the modern urban Indian woman and issues!! Of course, it had to be watched together with my best friends. It’s a movie about a gang of girls, so it has to be watched with a gang of girls!!
The movie was altogether no great shakes. A bit silly and mostly pretentious - and it had some really bad acting by several teakwood statues. What it did manage to capture fairly well was the emotional angst of the modern 30-something urban girl. Several lines spoken by Gul Panag while narrating the story did hit home. What is with men? Do they actually want to commit to a relationship or are they just out for a piece of ***? Has the marriage train passed us by? Or is this a station completely off the usual route? Will we ever find someone who appreciates us for what we are? Is the sanctity of a relationship still valid today? Or have people just become too selfish? Am I rambling too much? Has age finally gotten the better of me? :)

Teakwood statues...LOL

Another important question - why does our status and standing in life depend on where we are with our relationship status
