Little boys ran naked on the field
A little arc of sunlight on their heads
Made them look like angels
Or lovely little devils
The mother filled her empty bag
With vegetables and glory
She looked at the idyllic sky
A soft viola played
A famished father called out
A lover collapsed in his beloved’s arms
And died a hundred thousand times
Flowers flew out
Butterflies lazed around
Birds took a cloud ride
Clouds took a sun roller coaster
The fruits were ripe
And none were forbidden
Shy girls gorged on them
Some even wrote poems
This is a bit of what happened,
When I saw you smile

Recommendation of the week
Hello folks. This time I have two movie recommendations for you guys. One of them is playing in theatres right now and you need to beg, borrow, download, steal or buy the other one.
The Whistleblower
Even though watching The Whistleblower at a late night show was not such a good idea as my sleep was infected with vivid nightmares. However, probably that was one of the aims of the movie. It is based on the true story of Kathryn Bolkovac, an American police officer, who had joined the gender department of the United Nations in Bosnia.
The movie was shocking at various levels. It brings alive on the screen the absolute horrors of the human trafficking issue, which, as we all know, is not limited to that part of the globe. It is almost ubiquitous. And what the movie made me realise was that we hardly get any news about human trafficking crimes which just shows that this issue is always swept under the carpet. I had not read up about this woman's story before watching the movie so like a naïve watcher and going by the title of the movie that justice was eventually meted out to her. But to my utter amazement, the movie told me that this woman is still jobless and nothing came out of the whole case. Even if you do Google search now, you will realise that very little information is available about her. Just four five lines in Wikipedia and a few interviews which ironically happened after the movie. A must watch. By the way, its the directorial debut of Larysa Kondracki. Highly impressive!
The Fall
Tarsem Singh's ambitious project, The Fall , is like soothing music for the eyes. It flows like a poem. It is so beautifully shot that you want to pause and absorb most of the visuals. The great screenplay and cinematography are also accompanied by a sweet and interesting story of relationship between a little girl with fractured hand and a heart broken film stuntman who wants to commit suicide. There is a fascinating concocted story within the story. Gradually, the fantastical becomes reality and the reality become fantastical. This movie has to be watched for its beauty, for its glory, for its story, for its clever innocence and for the little girl Alexandria (played by Catinca Untaru)

She never thought she would fall
She sat resting her arms on the moon,
Eating it bit by bit.
Chewing it, almost with malice,
And deep love.
She never thought she would fall.
Eating it bit by bit.
Chewing it, almost with malice,
And deep love.
She never thought she would fall.
