What Women Want



Film by Nancy Meyers
Mel Gibson, Helen Hunt



The movie was a nice watch. It was somehow very predictable; either I have read about the story somewhere or seen some Bollywood movie in the same lines or I might have seen this very same movie long before and completely forgot about it, as is characteristic with me (and the reason behind this blog).
The story revolves around a man in a man’s world without a clue about what women really wish for or want. Portrayed as the typical womanizer, chauvinist worker, failure as a husband & a Dad, the protagonist has a good career. However he misses a growth opportunity to a woman who takes over as the Creative Director, then the subsequent ego clash and hostility. An accident takes place which leaves him with the ability to listen to the thoughts of all women .It leads him to discoveries, opportunities and lot more. Listening to what a woman is thinking transforms him into a considerate, caring and loving person and a wonderful Dad!
There are parts in the movie that made me sigh, smile, chuckle, disagree, enjoy and thoughtful. It’s a light hearted watch, but not something I can watch a second time without getting bored.

The Treasure

Hmm.. My dear blog Viva, you are soon gonna be bombarded with posts; unless ofcourse the laziness freak in Meenakshi doesn't take over. Looking forward to writing into you about several movies as 103 GB of movies wait eagerly for my viewing... Gosh, the thought tires me in itself..

I must look for some antidote for laziness, it's just getting too comfortable in my spine..

Sooon... Anytime's a good time for some writing and watching time.. I start tonight.. :)

Updates Soon

Hi !

The books I have been reading for quite some time happen to be my Course Books as my exams are going on. So, hope to get my hand on some interesting read soon after the exams are over.

Movies are a relatively new form of entertainment for me. Yep, the basic movies that almost all of folks have seen are unknown to me. I am on my way to discovering the world of Movies.

But my exams, chores at home, routine & some interesting work at office have left me tongue-tied.


But soon updates are going to appear in this blog to treasure every movie I saw, what i felt when I saw it, and if possible the who's who of the movie for me to rmemeber later ; also shall put down the books i read, the author, my impression & the characters in the books ( which i tend to forget almost always).
