The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

If only old age and retirement can be be outsourced..but would you take the trip to do so in India?

Loaded with some laugh out loud moments, it is the comic turns by the stellar award winning actors that make this movie special.

At times poignant, though without some cliched misplacement of the script, I nevertheless love this movie. For the colours of a India I have almost forgotten, for the humor in addressing a pertinent issue that we all must inevitably face one day.

Like usual, for a different experience and to let your own imagination take flight, I also invite one and all to read the original book by Deborah Moggach on which the movie was based on.

Have fun!

重逢新遥30周年演唱会 (Reunion Xinyao 30th Anniversary Concert)

Like a Michael J Fox "Back to the Future" moment. Travelling in 4 hours back to my youth when music was fun and the accessory of the day was a guitar.

It does not matter whether you read the Japanese, Chinese or English edition.

The magic is in the story.

The hero is  the writer who makes this story and the "story" of stories
comes alive for us.

This is a book for the young at heart, for the ones who still believe. In adventure, in magic, in love and in heroes

The Avengers

All my superheros come to life. But my favorite in this movie happens to be the one without super power. Black Widow. Without the benefits of super strength, power of flight, or a shield, much less bow and arrows; this one women take on Loki's army.

三島屋変調百物語事始

Love Miyuki Miyabe's stories. And this one in particular has healing powers. It reminds me of how the telling of one's story free the spirit and how the listening to others' tale will uplift your own soul.
