Rockville Pike and some movies

At last after 10 yrs!

My daughter has been asking me to visit her for so long and i have been dodging with some reason or the other to come to USA. Anyway after finishing my so called occupational busy schedule in India, i came to a decision to buy a ticket to US. i landed in DC on the night of 3rd May 2009

It was a cool day and was raining.
My daughter showed me a cozy bed where i have settled nicely. I did not think of getting up for the first few days!!.

Kavita, my daughter is trying to keep me busy so that i will not get bored here, as every parent who comes to US from India keeps complaining about , they do get bored in US since their children do not have time for them.

But i told my kavi that not worry about me and i am fine i will never get bored in my life that is my motto.

She got me lot of DVDs of different languages, also some books from the library.
After 3 days of good sleep i came back to my old self, fit to do any thing.
Next day i watched few movies while i was alone at home .

'Cave of the Yellow Dog' :
this is about a mongolian family, who are nomads, they have three children whom they want to get educated. The elder daughter one day by chance finds a dog. and she loves it so much. But her father is not keen to have it. When they are leaving that place for better conditions to live they start their journey, on the way the third child a son drops off the cart and reaches his old place searching for his people and the child finds the dog , he starts to fondle it meanwhile some vulchers come in search of the dead animals, they are about to grab the child, and this dog saves the child. The father not finding the son in the cart goes in search of the son . When he sees the dog barking at the vulchers and the child is safe ,he agrees to have the dog with them and they all travel to their destination.
The story ends here It was so touching.The action of girl ...No it was not acting she just lived in the character. One must see the movie.

The Return:
The second movie i saw was a Russian one. It makes us curious and a bit sorrowful. it is about a father who returns home after so many years.He has two sons. they wonder how he remembered the family after so many years. He takes them for a long drive and then to a far of island, where they explore and do hunting and other things in the forest.The father does not show much of affection to the sons, he is strict with them. the elder one gets on ok with father but the second son do not like the father. They do get into arguments on and often.Finally the father falls from a tower and dies,When he goes to try and save the father, the younger son who is on the top of the tower cannot come down. only then the boy realizes the father's love and affection.
this movie made me feel sad, it was pathetic that the two sons have to sail back the ocean on their own and drive home without their father. It was really sad. but what a movie!

Another movie i saw is a Iranian one and it is very good.we cannot compare the Indian bollywood movies to these.The name is - 'Fireworks Wednesday'.It is about a girl who going to get married, and does work in a rich man's house as a maid.the lady of the house is suspicious about her husband.She tries to spy on him by evesdropping.She asks the maid to go the neighbour lady with whom her husband has the connection.asks her to find out.The husband make her believe that he does not have any contact with that woman.The wife thinks that she unnessarily doubted him. Finally when the the maid comes to know about the affair for sure tries to tell her the lady about the husband. But then the husband does not give her a chance, to let her tell and sends her back home. A fine movie with a simple and normal problem of any family, taken in a fine way.I enjoyed watching it very much.
