Yeah, she is the type

After much contemplation, we (read me and my roommate) decided to watch Choti si baat. The best part about watching this movie is that, the characters are so close to reality that it is easy to step into the character's shoes. Amol Palekar fits the middle class character so perfectly that it is easy to map yourself in his position and feel like a fool or bask in his glory. There were certain scenes where you really feel for the hero, when he is trying to patafy (Indian slang meaning to woo) the heroine.

Ok, that's not the point that I am trying to convey here. I wanted to talk about girls in certain movies who set me thinking for an instant. Yes, she is the type of girl I would like to spend my life with. That's happened to me with a couple of movies big time. So, when we were watching Choti si baat, both of us were drooling over Vidya Sinha. The simplicity of the lady just bowled us out. She was the perfect example of a calm and composed face with oodles of beauty. I know it is a bad adjective to combine beauty and oodles, but at this point, I can't think of a more striking adjective. She had an image that was not bombastic or pompous, but fitted the bill in more ways than one with her attractive and clear countenance. She had a beautiful smile that was devoid of any malice.

Coming to the next movie, I love the characted played by Simran in Kannathil Muthamittal. This is one of my all time favourite movies, thanks to the brilliant direction and wonderful music. Simran in this movie has all the vital ingredients to be a perfect Indian wife deftly balancing her househould chores and work life. Her simplicity and her ability to handle various issues with a neat composure gives a sense of assurance to those around. Of course, we are ultimately guys. Combine all these things with the beauty factor and you are left with a brilliant combination!

My next lady love is another of those simplicity personified girls, the lady from Swades, Gayatri Joshi. Her love for the country with simple ideals and a radically structured outlook filled me with awe and wonder. The character portrayed by her had all the ingredients of a perfectly compatible partner who would argue with you for all the simple and sane things in the world. A perfect blend of tradition and modernity.

At the end of the day, a nice combination of tradition and values combined with a touch of modernity wins hands down when compared to high end sophisticated fashion geeks. A tough task to hunt for such a girl considering the fact that I am neither Amol Palekar nor am I a Madhavan and of course not a Shahrukh.
