Take your chances.

I ended my last post with "But for nothing on this earth I am going to miss Finale on August 2nd". But unfortunately that's exactly what happened. I missed it and that too for very stupid reason which I cannot even mention out here.. The moral of the story is "Don't take anything for sure".

No matter how many plans you make.. no matter how perfect you think it out. But life always has its own plans and leaves you no choice but to follow it. Anyways, what is done is done and no use in frowning over it. I also believe in When life closes one door, it opens another. So, I used this miss chance of watching Fireworks to watch a a critically acclaimed and also commercially very successful movie "The Dark Knight".

Having heard praises from all around, I went in with very very high expectations from this movie. And trust me, It exceeded all my expectations. Even after exhaustive 2:30 hrs, you are left with pleading for more. What a performance!!! No No, I am not talking about the "Batman" Christian Bale, he was good too like every other actor in movie.. I am talking about "The Joker" played by Heath Ledger who simply stood out of so many good performances. Man, every single appearance of his on screen, every time he said "Why so serious??" were just mesmerizing. Such an effortless act. I believe this performance of his is much much better than his Academy Award nominated performance as Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain. Its so unfortunate that the actor is no more between us. We are so fateful that we will not be able to watch any other masterpiece from such a prodigy.

That's what I mean by Life always has its own plans. Such a genius actor, just acted in 20 movies and at an age of 28, died of prescription drug overdose. What a waste of such a genius. I close this post with all my tributes to Heath Ledger. A genius who could have been a Master. A short but well lived life.
