Life in a ... Metro

Watched Life in a .... Metro yesterday, night show after long long time. Its a nice movie. Will write the review aram se. For the time being here is my favorite piece of conversation from the movie

Monty - Irrfan Khan
Shruti - Konkona Sen

Both of them are relaxing by sea shore, after finishing shaadi-shopping for Monty. (These might not be the exact words used by the characters... )

Monty: Chalo meri to shaadi ho jayegi do dino me. Ab tum bhi shaadi kar lo
Shruti: Haa kar lungi lekin meri pasand ka ladka to milna chahiye. Ab tak aisa koi mila nahi jisase mai shaadi karu
Monty: Accha yeh batao tumhe kaisa ladka chahiye
Shruti: You know smart, understanding, caring, loving. Thoda sensitive ho, fun loving ho...
Monty: To tumhe aisa ladka nahi mila nahi aaj tak
Shruti: Nahi yaar. Aise ladake milate nahi aaj kal. Kismae yeh baat acchi to woh kharab hai.
Monty: Pata hai mera ek dost hai usane na 5 saal pahale ek car kharidi hai lekin aaj tak bahar nahi nikali. Waise ki waisi padi hai garage me. Batoao kyu?
Shruti: Ummm... kyunki wo tumhra dost hai. Tumhare jaisa hi pagal hoga
Monty: Are nahi. Pata hai wo kya kahata hai...?? Mai tab tak car nahi chalaunga jab tak shahar ke saare signal green nahi ho jaate
Shruti: Lekin wo jab tak car bahar nahi nikalega use pata kaise chalega ke signal green hai ke nahi
Monty: Wahi to mai tumhe bol raha huu Shruti, take out the car, take your chance !

Interesting no !

Irrfan Khan is amazing. I can watch movie again just for him.

More coming up on my life in this soon-to-be Metro and fear of commitment.

interesting...
and, I hate this 'wait for perfection' bit of arranged marriages! its so wrong, its so superficial, the only thing that needs to match is backgrounds... financial backgrounds, and immediate direction whr the two are headed...the rest are all wrong bits!

I think the 'wait for perfection' comes when people want to go for love marriages. I ahve seen many guys/gal wasting there life waiting for the right cut with so many superficial dreams like Konkona has in this movie.
In case arranged marriages, its more of what families want and not you want.
I think in both the things success of marriage depends on how much your are ready to adjust and accomodate than how you were good to start with.
