i have started playing table-tennis, so i can suggest it as a good (in a nice, not arduous) way of reducing the guilty kilos/pounds :)

Thanks, dearie.

The inches have a silent, eerie way of creeping up on us - if only our good deds wee as well rewarded. And guess what, the more the flab, the greater is the inertia to get rid of it.

IMHO TZP is not a great film. It deserves its accolades because - it touches on a sensitive topic. That's about it. It is an exploitative film, just like Black was. The direction is lopsided - we don't see any interaction between the boy and the teacher. Strange isn't it. It makes us reach for our kerchiefs on a couple of times for sure but not enough to probably convince the jury. Compared to the Iranian or European film (Laurent Cantet's The Class or the late master Louis Malle's Le Enfant du Paradis) it pales because it is simplistic and not emotionally or cinematically nuanced. But I am glad Aamir tried it, but there are better Oscar worthy films than TZP. Only Bandit Queen from the recent past had ANY chance of winning an Oscar.

Nidhi - I was thinking the same thing when I heard about Disney buying the rights.

It makes sense when you think about it. There are so many channels (FX, IFC etc) that screen international movies with sub-titles. And TZP's theme, I feel, will resonate with so many, no matter what country.
