I do not like Pizza but I love the movie Kakka Muttai revolving around it

In the last so many months/weeks I am forgetting to think about my parents as I tend to forget to drink water or thinking that I am alright  when there is some fever or indisposition. While I continue to remember my subject and evince more interest in it I am forgetting to take tablets and more importantly the academic greed is diminishing to my great surprise.Perhaps physical discomfort in typing and the desire to read more compel me to have some space .

Yesterday I saw the classic movie  kakka muttai (crow's egg), an award winning film depicting the ordinary desire of the slum boys to have Pizza and what happens to them as also some individuals in the immediate neighborhood-the two good for nothing fellows plotting to earn some paisa witout doing any work- the policeman  coming forward to help the Pizza owner to help him out of the assault on the boys  and the local MLA also entering in to have his own cut and so on.

Towards the end the children get a chance like a VIP to taste the Pizza which they longed for and with all reluctance and difficulty they eat partially and say;our grand mother 's preparation of Dosa(with onion capsicum and tomato to get Pizza look which they refused earlier) was far better than the one we eat now "
We need good cinema and music although I am not enjoying them even during  post -retirement because of my excessive obsession  with my discipline which imprisons me with chains   slowly I am trying to get freedom to know contemporary issues  and concentrate on a few volumes that are in  a state  of suspended animation for long. WE must do what we like to do and I am sure in the remaining days of life when there is more leisure I must focus on what i missed in life, travel more read  non economics stuff without abandoning mt first and last love my subject which alone has sustained my life thus far.Going back to Kakka Muttai movie I woul;d say  I love this movie and I do not have any desire to taste Pizza kind of stuff as I feel  alien to it
