A Dios le Pido



Que mis ojos se despierten
con la luz de tu mirada, yo
a Dios le pido
que mi madre no se muera
y que mi padre me recuerde
a Dios le pido
que te quedes a mi lado
y que ms nunca te me vayas, mi vida
a Dios le pido
que mi alma no descanse
cuando de amarte se trate, mi cielo
a Dios le pido

Por los das que me quedan
y las noches que an no llegan, yo
a Dios le pido
por los hijos de mis hijos
y los hijos de tus hijos
a Dios le pido
que mi pueblo no derrame tanta sangre
y se levante mi gente
a Dios le pido
que mi alma no descanse
cuando de amarte se trate, mi cielo
a Dios le pido

Un segundo ms de vida para darte
y mi corazn entero entregarte
un segundo ms de vida para darte
y a tu lado para siempre yo quedarme
un segundo ms de vida, yo

A Dios le pido
que si me muero sea de amor
y si me enamoro sea de vos
y que de tu voz sea este corazn
todos los das
a Dios le pido
que si me muero sea de amor
y si me enamoro sea de vos
y que de tu voz sea este corazn
todos los das
a Dios le pido
a Dios le pido

Que mis ojos se despierten
con la luz de tu mirada, yo
a Dios le pido
que mi madre no se muera
y que mi padre me recuerde
a Dios le pido
que te quedes a mi lado
y que ms nunca te me vayas, mi vida
a Dios le pido
que mi alma no descanse
cuando de amarte se trate, mi cielo
a Dios le pido

Un segundo ms de vida para darte
y mi corazn entero entregarte
un segundo ms de vida para darte
y a tu lado para siempre yo quedarme
un segundo ms de vida, yo

A Dios le pido
que si me muero sea de amor
y si me enamoro sea de vos
y que de tu voz sea este corazn
todos los das
a Dios le pido
que si me muero sea de amor
y si me enamoro sea de vos
y que de tu voz sea este corazn
todos los das
a Dios le pido
a Dios le pido

How I learned to stop criticizing and love…

I have been suffering from an unknown fatal disease lately. Its a disease which has got a ‘z’ in its name; a weird pronunciation; few silent letters; and no info in Google. It’s a disease which changed my senses of cinema. With different stages over a short span of time (say 4 years), it changed the way I perceive cinema.

Early stage (Pre-torrent era):
In this pre-torrent era, I watched all the Tamil and most of the Hindi movies. I managed to sit in the theatre for Oru naal oru kanavu full movie. The English movies varied from Starwars to Incredibles to War of the Worlds to Cindrella Man. (trivia: Iqbal and Cindrella Man in back to back shows). Then it happened. The entry of World Cinema with the beautiful Children of Heaven and brilliant Amorres Perros to make an impact and a yardstick for all the movies I watched from then.

Mid Stage (World Cinema era):
In this stage, I had a great difficulty in tolerating some Tamil and Hindi cinema. I thought that I should avoid watching such movies as it’s an insult for my senses of cinema. I watched all the movies in world cinema I came across and I compared that with the Indian cinema. It was the time, when all the Indian directors were criticized. I just made a point on a plagiarism everywhere. I categorized people as two: people who like Pokkiri and people who don’t. I got frustrated with Kabhi Alvida... and avoided Lage Raho... just to prove a point that I don’t watch normal entertainers. I watched a movie every single night and sometimes two or three in a row. IMDB became the most visited site in my browser history. I spent a huge portion of money in Burma bazaar for dvds every month. (Trivia: for foreign language movies, contact Rahman, Shop no: F-10, Burma bazaar, Chennai). I watched the movies of Ray, Almodovar, Wong Kar-wai and others. Ray became the most favorite director in India. It all happened so fast.

Final Stage:
It reached this stage where this kind of behavior can only be associated to a disease. This is the stage where some part of early and mid stages got back its position. A déjà vu feel when I saw most of the movies. Sometimes it happened when watching a movie for the first time. The movies just failed to register in mind. It took till end credits to confirm that the movie has been watched before. Shockingly, Azhagiya Thamizh… looked like a very entertaining movie for me and so did Kallori and OSO. “Okay” was the comment to every movie. I never bothered to write any reviews. I just enjoyed reading reviews and blogs.

In the end, I just started enjoying movies for its making and its writing. If I didn’t like it, just that it wasn’t intended for me. What do you call me? A movie buff or a movie maniac?
