Thanks, Ilango!;)

Hey, thanks Ilango, for putting my blog in the 'Enriching' section with that awesome Zen site!

I'm slightly embarrassed by the honour... but totally thrilled. This quote's for you:

“Only those who truly love and who are truly strong can sustain their lives as a dream. You dwell in your own enchantment. Life throws stones at you, but your love and your dream change those stones into the flowers of discovery. Even if you lose, or are defeated by things, your triumph will always be exemplary. And if no one knows it, then there are places that do. People like you enrich the dreams of the worlds, and it is dreams that create history. People like you are unknowing transformers of things, protected by your own fairy-tale, by love.”
-Ben Okri, Nigerian author, 1959

Hi..Yoda,

That is a wonderful & encouraging quote.
I am very fond of movies...all kinds..I have seen soooo many Arabic, Egyptian, Lebanese movies too. During those DD times, we used to watch a whole lot of regional movies Bengali, Oriya, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, etc...
Its the wonderful medium the dreamers convey their thoughts & yearnings.

We always discuss your excellent command over English & using it to convey the true essence of any movie from your perspective. It always amazes us. 90% of people's leisure time is occupied with this visual medium. And your postings with their unique style is definitely an enriching experience.

Need I say more. Let people feel it.

Best wishes and regards.

Ilango, thanks. I think escape suits the analytic mind, as it gets its power from pattern-recognition-meaning. According to gestalt, pure potential energy waiting to actualize.

I started this to get past a massive writers' block. At least it's moving things along.:)
