Questions that unfold your life

One of the best movies. The story line is good and fresh. It unfolds the background of the main actor (Jamal) through a series of flashback and the game questions. Strange....as the game questions are revealed one by one, so as the life of Jamal. It chronologizes the event from childhood until present. I find it very unreal as the game questions try to keep up with the life event of Jamal (sort of), in a chronology manner, except for the last question.

The game show reminds me of a favourite game show few years back. Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

Oh, mind you, this is not your ordinary Hindi movie with lots of dancing and singing. They do dance and sing, only at the end of the movie. Just a token of celebration since all Hindi movies end with hope and joy (maybe I'm wrong).

p.s: While watching this movie, a series of image from National Geography flashed through my mind as if I've been to that place before.

Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route

Just came back from Japan last week. Went to Tokyo for conference and added side trip to Tateyama Alpine Route and Kanazawa. I must say that Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route was great. You can do the trip either from Nagano side or Toyama side. For us, we did it from the Nagano side. Took the Shinkansen to Nagano early morning. Then boarded the express bus to Ogizawa. From there, we boarded the tunnel electric bus to get to Kurobe Dam. From the dam, it was all the way up to the peak (almost). Murodo is the highlight of the route. This is the place where you get to see snow covered peak and lake. In spring, there's snow wall nearby Murodo station. From Murodo, we descended to Bijodaira and Tateyama Station to catch the local train back to Toyama. The fare for the entire route is not cheap, but it's worth it. A hike from Bijodaira to Murodo should be interesting, which can be considered in future. View from the tunnel electric bus, onward to Kurobe Dam Arrived at Kurobe Dam View of t...

MyVi

Had got my new MyVi last Friday. Initial consumption was a litre for a 10-km drive. Well, it seems quite costly but this is still early to judge as the engine needs up to 5,000km drive to get optimize (that's what people tell me). Enjoy driving it.
