Richard parker.

Are multiplexes as cold as inside of a igloo or was i seated [deliberately ,maybe] too close to AC vents that streamed out unnaturally icy cold drafts?

Brr the cold was bone chilling .Wisened by a similar earlier experience ,i had this time around slipped in a shawl into my handbag before leaving the house to watch the film Life of Pi in 3 d.Though i was intending to do so for quite a while the immediate stimulus ,is the nomination of Bombay Jayshree's musical score  for the Oscars,

Her song , lullaby, is just a tiny bit in this gigantic film pictured with a finesse that vies with Titanic. Her husky voice, as is always, which merges,  very naturally with the feelings and pathos in lyrics  is, as captivating as ever.

The story as told by the hero on him being cast away in the pacific is 2 fold.One is extra ordinary , enchanting and unbelievable.The other is raw and plausible.So which is the true story? The film ends with this unanswered question.

There is an wise observation that facts are stranger than fiction.

Back home I stood pondering over this whist watching tender new leaflets with the lacy delicacy of infancy shiver slightly in the passing wind.On glancing down saw the newly resident black cat slinking amidst the bed of flowers that have just opened its tiny tube like petals ,red in colour.
 Our own Richard parker prowling around competing for space and territory.The answer to the question?

Note..The dialogue regarding Vishnu and a fish could have been given the miss.

PS. Richard parker is the name of the side hero --a royal bengal tiger..
