Alfred Hitchcock Presents  Alfred Hitchcock is one of my favorite directors ever. The way his stories were weaved in a day-to-day life of the people - read a person bed-ridden and just watching out of window to see what going on in his neighborhood in critically acclaimed "Rear Window" or a dedicated son to his mother in "Psycho". Alfred Hitchcock Presents is an American Television anthology series. Each episode was around 25-26 mins long (Seasons 1-7) and 49-50 mins (Seasons 8-10). I watched the entire series on Netflix in USA. IMDb rates the series as 8.6. It begins with a silhouette of the master director and an eerie music playing in the background. It is well-known for its opening sequence. Such was the impact of the series that the episodes were recreated in the 1980's. My Rating - 9 and a thumbs up :)

River (TV series)  From now on, apart from my experiences I will be sharing my review on the various shows and Movies; that pending - I believe that I have to really work hard to compile all my favorite shows and movies. I am self-confessed GOTian (If that's even a word) - Big fan of Game of Thrones. However, let me begin with a British Series called River. So here it goes -  This is a 6-part British television Drama Series (IMDb rated - 8.1)starring  Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd . River is a detective, Metropolitan Police Service. This is the story of his struggle with the loss of his colleague with whom he shares great camaraderie and is in love. However, they cannot meet and share their love. The love story runs only in the backdrop. River keep on solving the cases but only came to terms with himself and his grief in season's finale. The highest point of the series was the song " I love to love.." by Tina Charles (1976) in the background and the 2 lovers dancing as

A Vicious Circle of Life ..

The association of me with my mom has seen levels: Commensalism, Predator-Prey and Symbiotic.. While the early days of our association was more like Predator-Prey where we would exchange our shoes... It turned to commensalism finally ending in Symbiosis...In the initial days that I can remember my mom would want me to be the best child: well mannered, well dressed and active...I would perform in socials n cultural fest..and that would make her happy.. later in my teens till recently I would always think that my mom n I were never meant to understand each other n would easily transfer the blame to the different zodiacs we shared....n now i think how foolish i cud be.. Things changed dramatically when I myself bacame a mom(Aarna being my daughter)... With this stage, all the things that irked me initially, became justified... Though there were several stages in our relationship, the one thing that ran common was the LOVE and BOND we shared...And that I cherish ... With marriage I was sho

Paying Attention.. Does it Pay?

1st Year Students of MBBS were attending their 1st anatomy class. They all gathered around the surgery table with a real dead dog. The professor started the class by telling 2 important qualities as a doctor. The 1st is that NEVER BE DISGUSTED REGARDING ANYTHING ABOUT BODY, & he inserted his finger in dog's mouth & on drawing back tasted it in his own mouth. Then he said them to do the same. The students hesitated for several minutes, but eventually everyone inserted their fingers in dog's mouth & then tasted it. When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and said: THE MOST IMPORTANT2ND QUALITY IS OBSERVATION, I INSERTED MY MIDDLE FINGER BUT TASTED THE INDEX FINGER, NOW LEARN TO PAY ATTENTION. Moral: Life is tough, but it's a lot tougher when you are not paying attention
