The Cannes Film Festival

A friend of mine who is engaged in the British film industry, had a great experience in the Cannes Film Festivals. We have all seen the glamourous side of the Cannes Film Festival, but she informed me of the real purpose of CFF-to meet different business associates for the preparation and promotion of a film.
 

Extract From Human Nature

Aching for such companionship, the heart
Yearns for adventure, to be brave and seen,
With valour and grace all taking a part.
It lies dormant in thought and lives in dreams
Of such fanc’ful impossibilities.

Celebrate This Vaisakh!

Vaisakh is the first month of spring in the Indian Calendar, and the first day of the month – Vaisakhi – is a time when everyone celebrates the beginning of spring and hope for a good new year. In the Punjab region especially, it used to be a festival where the farmers gathered together to start the season and prepare for the toil of growing new crops. However, one event in history has come to change this day forever.
 

St Patrick’s Day Special!

Top o’ the mornin’ to you! Have a pint o’ Guinness on me!” This is probably the general reaction we have when we think of St Patrick’s Day. So just how did the day dedicated to celebrating the Patron Saint of Ireland become so stereotypically about drinking and river dancing?
 

Book Review - Brisingr

Brisingr is Christopher Paolini’s exciting new addition to the epic fantasy series, The Inheritance Cycle. Originally set to be a trilogy, Paolini was forced to extend the books into four volumes, but don’t fret, the story is still pretty intense. First started by Paolini when he was just fifteen years old, Eragon quickly rose to success, becoming the third-best-selling children's hardback book of 2003, the second-best-selling paperback of 2005, and has had a place on the New York Times Bestseller List for 121 weeks.

Frightful Forest Forage

 

Life’s Journey

 
Chugging along on the railway of life
Between the two final stations
Revelling and enjoying the journey
’Til we reach the destination
 
The steamer hisses up to the platform
The doors roll open in greeting
With a hoot and a whistle and a grunt and a shout
It moves off in a blur oh so fleeting
 

“I don’t want to go…”

Theatre vs Cinema

 Theatre vs Cinema
 
For years, there has been the epic battle of theatre vs cinema.
