"Sometimes we don't do what we want to do because we're afraid that other people will know that we want to do them"....

So said Ivy Walker played by Bryce Dallas Howard in yesterday's movie...Watched Night Shyamalan's movie "The Village" yesterday and....WHAT A MOVIE !! The twist after the interval left me stunned...for people who go and expect a typical MNS scary-ghost-flick..SORRY !!It's more a romantic movie than anything else..Liked the background score,the concept of the story(avoiding the world because of it's greed...Oops,I gave away the plot !!..No sweat,still worth a watch..) and the acting of Bryce DH as the blind Ivy Walker with a great attitude and Joaquin Phoenix as Lucius Hunt...
Brilliant roles played by Phoenix so far in his short career-Emperor Commodus in Gladiator and in Walking the dog,etc
Some of the dialogues sound so true too...Especially the one above...
Remember a time when I did the same...Around a year back when I thot i was in love...
Was I ??Am I ?? hmm...

Where there's a will...

3 days and counting...Have quit smoking for the last 3 days and..so far,so good...No reason in particular..Just that the reason that i picked it up isn't valid anymore...With the death of that reason,dies the need and therefore the satisfaction guarenteed...
It'll now be a test of my will..I've always beleived that being dependent on somebody/something is a weakness...Inshallah,the will wins over the weakness...

Saw this quote by David Ben Gurion(father of Israel) on the TOI website...

"Courage is the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared."
- David Ben-Gurion

No wonder they managed to carve out a country and sustain it whilst being surrounded by Arab nations..
