Last evening, I saw a beautiful bunch of lilies... right besides the stairway to our house. There is a row of potted plants that we don't really maintain... I dont know how the lily survived, but yesterday, there were about 6 beautiful, long stemmed ones there... ruby red, smiling in the light of the setting sun...
And without a second thought, I plucked all of them and put them in a vase at home.... I, who am a big fan of letting flowers stay in the bushes... I have been thinking and can't decide why I plucked them and left them in the vase to wither away...
Tried a mango cake on this weekend... looked and smelled great... :) well, it tasted good too, but the texture was not light and fluffy... so I must be messing with the proportions.... have got to scour the net for a good eggless recipe... been wanting to do this for ages... sigh!
Saw Before Sunrise and Before Sunset back to back... loved the concept.... why don't they make romantic movies like that anymore? I honestly wish I could write that well.... I'd turn into a full time writer... :) It was a romantic's dream come true... a story based on a magical, spontaneous connection unfolding in beautiful locations in Vienna & then Paris.
The best part was that there was mystery and intrigue, the climax was open ended in both... as a viewer, I can decide how I want the story to end... in the words of one the protagonists, if you are a romantic you want to believe in the happy ending, if you are a cynic, you won't... How nice if we could choose what happens in real life too... if only, wishes were horses...

The mango cake really looks yummmm ... :-D
And you already know how much I really love Celine.
After watching the first few minutes of Before Sunset I was so sad that they didn't see each other for 10 years.
But being a true romantic I believe they had a happy ending. :D
PS: I love the 'waltz' Celine sings on the guitar. :-D
Mango cake sounds yummy. I once tried a banana spice cake and it turned out not bad. Actually adding egg makes the cake fluffy... but if you don't eat eggs, there is a choice of using an egg substitute. I forget what it's called. Check the net, I'm sure the cake will turn light and fluffy next time.
Mango cake..? wow never tried it! yum :)
Keshi.
You finally saw the movies! Congrats, you have finally seen a true romantic movie! Actually, two, if you may call it that.
And yeah, I liked the waltz too! I even tried it out myself! But after doing it, I realised it's not my style to be singing of a fantastic night with a Jesse! :P

@ Aniket,
I didnt make this cake...lol! Did you know Celine in a musician in real life? And she composed that song herself...? Ten years was a long period, but I think it did complete justice to the story... they picked up where they had left off....
@ Seema,
Yeah... I need some good ones... love making cakes :)
How did you make ur banana cake?
@ Keshi,
Then you must!! It smells heavenly....
@ Anu,
And I dont mind seeing them again either...
@ Pinks,
Hey long time....I thought you had quit blogging again... :) but then, I am infrequent too....
I didnt take this pic... this one is from the net...
You should watch the movies, if nothing else then just for the dialogues....
@ Navy,
Yeah.. wish they'd make stuff like this again... and I'd love to see a take from our own bollywood...
@ Mahesh,
I dont think they are novel based... most novel based ones are a disappointment... :)
you must see them though...
Yes, I know Julie Delpy has sung many songs in french. She is a very talented lady.
I realized that when she was playing the correct chords perfectly on screen. I learnt to play it too. :)
And the fact that the movie and the story both took the 10 year off in between. It felt more as if you know the characters and they are very real.
I've never seen a better sequel. They mostly lose the touch if they create sequels. Of course, "The Dark Knight" is another exception. :)
And like Anshul mentioned above... don't worry... I don't sing it. I just love playing the tune. Its so very peaceful. :)
It comes second only to Elysium by Enya on my list.
