recent movies

Quick list and review

Ratatouille - Great Pixar movie, one of the best though i still rate Incredibles and Cars above it. Maybe ill grow to love it more after repeated viewings.

Happy Feet - One time rental worth.

Frailty- Was recommended by a co worker. Very interesting premise and a twist in the end that i realized the next day after watching it :) Not for the light of the heart though.

Meet the Robinsons- First really good animation from non pixar branch of Disney. Looks fascinating in blu ray and a really good story to back it up.

In the Line of Fire - Great Clint Eastwood action movie, has all that you expect from him. One of the finest actors and directors ever.

Dhamaal (Bollywood): Laugh Riot, much watch and buy!

the little photographer

Decided to post a recent picture of Simar. It's a very interesting phase he's going through right now. He's discovering lot of things and really picks up new things very quickly.

Amongst the other things that he goes after,probably his favorite is the camera. If he manages to see it even from the corner of his eye he would start shouting camera camera and throw a tantrum until he gets his hands on one :) He's even learnt to switch it on and take photos(mostly of ground where hes pointing normally). Thankfully this is the smaller compact camera of Shweta we are talking about and not my SLR :)

I do hope once he grows up he can appreciate and learn this form of art :) Here's a photo of him with Shweta's camera.

Pats win over Colts!

Being a football fan(american football that is) i have been eagerly anticipating this matchup from quite a few months now. The best teams from both the divisions slug it out.. and what a slugfest it was!

The patriots were behind probably the first time at the end of 2nd quarter this whole season, but in the end our boys in blue and white pulled it off with a 24- 20 win over the Indy Colts. To give due credit to Colts, they are a very good team and after seeing today's game, im even more certain that when these 2 teams meet its really upto who plays better that day. But we pulled it off today and victory sure was sweet! So if we have to play against them in the AFC Championship well have them come over here instead of going to play in Mr Manning's safe zone of RCA Dome :) Bring it on baby!!

PS: With the Red Sox victory of last week we hit the jackpot with our day bed that we bought from Jordan's :)

Photos of Iresha

Finally i have some photos of Iresha to post :)

This are the first batch of photos from our studio lighting setup in the basement that i tried out for the first time today. Hopefully i'll get better at studio lighting with time.

We are really thrilled with the addition of the little angel to our family and Simar just wants to play with her all the time. We have to control him and make sure he doesn't go overboard while trying to cuddle the 'baby' :)

The little angel has arrived!

Finally!!!! She came exactly on the date the doctor predicted, not a day earlier or after. Our little daughter has finally arrived into this world as of November 1rst 2007 and its a very proud and special moment for the whole family.

Shweta has been in lot of discomfort from almost a month now with irregular contractions but last night the contractions were very intense and we knew that the moment had arrived at last :) She delivered our cute little baby girl at 3:33 am after we went into the hospital at around 12:45 am or so. The little one looks very much like Simar though she's an inch taller when born(20 inches/19 inches) and a little lighter than him(5 pound 11 ounces/6 pounds 5 ounces). It still has to sink in with us fully but there's a lot of work to be done around the house and hopefully we should be back at home by tomorrow. I thank the Lord Almighty for showering us with his blessings and a second bundle of joy and really hope that we can be good parents to both these lovely angels.

I'll try and post up photos of Iresha(yes that's probably gonna be her name) very soon!!!!
