De-stressing Cartoon Spree

I have been watching cartoons this whole month. It started as an attempt to de-stress myself and stop thinking of the pink elephant. Well, the good news is that I have managed to do what I wanted. This is the beauty of it. I have been gearing myself to watch cartoons, the funnies and to relax and read books that I like.

I will admit that I did not want to watch this tale as I knew it had a tragic tale surrounding it.

On 30 Dec 2010 - I watched the Hunchback of Notre Dame II and it was unbelievably interesting. It centered on LOVE - something that I am attracting right now. About the movie - I think it was well written and I love how the story enfolds and of course on the fact that Quasimodo has found his life partner who loves him as much as he loves her. Ahh... the feeling of love and being in love. This is something no one can force.

I also watched the Hindi movie entitled Sholay - an old blockbuster which is a super hit until now. It is a solid movie with good performance all around from the actors and actress with a very entertaining and interesting storyline. I love the music although I did not understand it but I reckon it has a lot of meaning to it. There weren't too many dances and signing like how most of the Hindi movies are but had this heartwarming caring essence that was evident throughout the movie. This is the reason why I always liked Hindi movies - that and the sound of the language. To me Hindi is the main language of love. The way these people write about love - they are a masterpiece with simple words that channels so much of emotions.
