ASHES FROM THE HOLOCAUST

Dear Anne,
                  I wouldn't have felt like writing to you after reading your diary if you had been alive while it was getting published, becoming a worldwide phenomenon. Your absence has certainly added value to the things you have written. Ironically it was "Mein Kampf" that was my first choice. Hitler's complex composition baffled me and of which I had to pause reading the book. 

There can be very many explanations to justify vengeance in this world but pain is universal. It is understood by all living beings. The catastrophic incidents that followed the discovery of you and your family members from the secret annexe were unimaginable and merciless. As a young girl, the thoughts that you were gifted with were enough to give us a vivid picture of the misery of seclusion. It was an anticipated ending yet you made us feel the value of our lives. You have shown us how irreparably inhuman we have become. 


I have lost faith in salvation, Anne. It is just a myth made by people who wanted to commit more and more sins in the days to come. Let nature take its stand and end this right away! Who knows what more is to come? We have become monsters of immutable destruction anyway. Oh! Only if there's a power to control us and teach us a lesson, we ought to learn! Or is this like a slow death? The nature watching us annihilate ourselves radically to nothing? Time will have to answer.

THE CASTLE OF HOPE AND FAITH!

THE CHARIOT OF OUR ANGELS!   After so many phases of colour transformations, finally, our bus has become yellow....Yellow????.sigh........ Anyway, I've seen blue with penguins but not this.  Sometimes I hate our buses for chasing us away with our books and lunch boxes during the casual turns...so much remodelling..so many cras.....ssshhhesss... oopsie!!! I didn't mean to say that...Well..now it's a vibrant bucket of bolts...good!                  THE GRAND GATEWAY!   It's hard for me to not keep thinking about our old watchman. Sharp at 8:45 these huge pair of gates would be closed.There would be a little door too...for other people to enter..and the notice board that you see right there always captivated us during monsoons....we'd wait for some holiday notes to be written so we could run back home. Emails or Phones or WhatsApp didn't exist then. Though these gates did scare us a few times...it very well taugh...

His step-father also lives next door with whom he has an estranged relationship.

MOVIE REVIEW-BRIGHT STAR

Bright Star (2011) Director: Jane Campion Starring: Ben Whishaw, Abbie Cornish. This movie is a biopic of John Keats, the world-famous poet who gave us the most wonderful lines, "The thing of beauty is a joy forever". Keats did have an easy life. He struggled to make both ends meet. Poems, for him apart from an art of expression, were also tools to earn his bread. He wrote the most beautiful poems which were appreciated as well as criticised during his time. Keats fell in love with a woman called Fanny Browne, a French woman who in turn loved the poet and his poems deeply. Keats wanted to provide her with a good life and hence focused on earning more and finding new opportunities. Unfortunately, he did not last long but his poems did. Keats died at a very young age in Rome miles away from the woman he loved, leaving her devastated, with just his poems, sonnets and words to comfort her. A beautiful poetic movie. உலகின் புகழபெற்ற கவிஞர்களுள் ஒருவரான ஜான் கீட்ஸ் அவர்களின...
