F-A-M-E!

I saw ‘Fame’ today, after a long time. Love that one-liner ‘If a man can play all by himself, without an orchestra, it isn’t music, it’s masturbation.’ Amazing!
I like the film too, with the romance of art school and spot performances in the canteen and the street and make-up room peeks. Quite a nice film and while watching it, I realised… I want to learn to play the violin. Daddy had had this idea that since I’d learnt music for a considerable period of time(AND maybe he thought that my voice was too hoarse to be able to sing!) I should learn to play the violin. I mean, a good base to play, etc. etc.

Should have gone to Seeta Teacher when I had the time… Now in Atlanta where on earth am I going to convince myself to find a teacher, pay good money and learn the violin??? Ouch!

Started writing again… Wonder where this .doc will take me… Hopefully, I shall steer clear of the romantic glitter and feel-good crap… Inshaallah.

Also watched ‘To Wong Foo, Thanks for everything, Julie Newmar’… Quite a funny film… Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes and some other guy they refer as ‘the young Latino boy in a dress’

The day passed by too soon… Made an exotic concoction of yam and toor dal. Exotic is cinnamon sticks, mustard, green chillies, fenugreek, bay leaves, curry leaves, kokum, peanuts, lemon juice… Turned out to be good, both of us liked it.
It’s near to impossible to expect any remarks from Pinch which aren’t impersonal, regarding the food!
‘It’s good’… and that’s that… thank God for small mercies!
