Devil Wears Prada 2

Anticipation of watching again the electrifying characters who showcased the real side of a fashion magazine with down to earth projection was too hyped n over rated n marketed in this sequel.

Very disappointing to see a shabby copied version of the original movie. Is 20th Centuary Fox/ Studios lost its edge in creating magnificent epic pictures or the QUALITY of crew is compromised to the extent that the charm in movie making is buried six feet down?

Questions like, what's Emily doing in the movie? Why Nigel is projected as a spineless,  ambitionless, self doubting, lost, good for nothing, silent slave n supporter of Miranda Prisley? What is the purpose of Benji? Why DIOR is downgraded to penny pinching fish market dealer fighting for ad-space? Not so finally, what's the message?

Who approved Meryl Streep's make up? Her image projected in the original movie is totally and completely tarnished/destroyed. She is aged! Period. Respect it. Age appropriate suttle dignified less pancake projection would have remaind in everyone's mind for a couple of decades more! Sad to see Miranda Presley as an armature in fashion n new to make up bum.

IF I have to do the story line, it would be Andy returning to RUNWAY as Miranda Presley retires from the Frontline. Moving to a Mentor position. Andy enters as a compassionate yet competitive quality demanding leader. With new age digital world, where glamorous fashion is photo touch ups n shabby 3rd grade designs demanded by mass crowd who doesn't understand the meaning of class, Andy makes a change brings breath of fresh air with Miranda's mentoring. 

The plot may bring cast of gen Z new talent showcasing the changing trend who learns n understands learning from predecessors the reins of being in quality leadership! 

Looking forward to better movies. From all film producers. 

The best Death by Chocolate in Hyderabad

Today my search for the best chocolate indulge took a break here at Soho @ TNR North City, Kompally, Hyderabad 

Soho's Death by Chocolate had right amount of sweetness and taste of cholate. The piece of cake with it's unique hard crisp wrapping and soft inside was a delight. 

Going back for another piece? YES. DEFINITELY! 

నాతి చరామి

అది నిజానికి ' న అతి చరామి ' అంటే ' నిన్ను దాటి వెళ్ళను ' అని భర్త భార్య తో చెబుతాడు.. వివాహం చేసుకుంటున్నప్పుడు.

ధర్మేచ, ఆర్థేచ, కామేచ…న అతి చరామి అన్నది పూర్తి పాఠం.

ధర్మం పాటించడంలోనూ, సంపాదించడం లోనూ, కోరికలు తీర్చుకోవడంలోనూ ' నిన్ను దాటి వెళ్ళను '

అంటే.. నా ఒక్కడి కోసమే చేయను. నేను చేసే అన్ని ధర్మ బద్ధమైన కార్యాలూ నీ భాగ స్వామ్యం తోనే చేస్తాను. నీవు లేకుండా చేయను అని అర్థం.

భార్య లేనివాడు ఏ రకమైన కామ్య కారక యజ్ఞాలు చేయరాదు. భార్యకు అంత ప్రాముఖ్యత వేదం నిర్దేశం చేసింది.

బ్రాహ్మచారికి శంకుస్థాపన చేసే అధికారం కూడా లేదు.

షరా : అక్కడక్కడా ధర్మేచ……మోక్షచ అన్నది కూడా వినపడుతుంది. కానీ ఇది తప్పు. ' మోక్షచ ' అన్నది లేదు.

మోక్షం విషయం లో ఎవరి అర్హత వారిదే.

బ్రాహ్మణుడు జీవితంలో రెండుసార్లు అంటాడు. 

మెదటి సారి ఉపనయనం సమయంలో తండ్రికి మాట ఇస్తాడు.

Cinnamon roll

Worst Cinnamon Roll I ever had. I feel abt 0.005 grm or spec of cinnamon powder must have been used in this one piece of roll. It's just bread. Highly priced bakery product. Yeah I even got one raisin. Not at all worth. Once again highly disappointed with bakery product in India.  

Sa.ma - The Indian Kitchen

Sa.ma The Indian Kitchen. Opened Nov 1st 2024. Belongs to Gummadi family. Founded by their grand daughter at their ancestral house. Cozy n beautiful ambience. Veg options available. The staff has positive attitude. Genuine smiles. Professional friendly attitude. Take a moment to walk around. Imagine the lo Ely owners gathering with their family n friends within those walls. Creating memories. We were told that the establishment offers luve-band on weekends.  

Enjoyed our lunch very much. Radha was very attentive in taking our orders n made sure that the spice levels are adjusted. Their mushroom thuppa soup is unique n tasty. Good vegetarian options.

Vegetarian outlet

Devamrutam. Introduced by Instagram. The place is too cramped. 150 sq yards independent house in Jubleehills Hyderabad. So cramped that the server couldn't even put food on our table. He handed over the plates for us to pass on to the next person. When it came to serving rice, he literally showered me with rice as he couldn't twist his arm, hold the rice bowl, bend over to place rice in my plate! My suggestion not more than 5 or 6 in a group. Pre reserve the table. Go before 1pm for lunch. After that, you get only thali. 

Their thali is not so exceptional to comment. The owners could make the whole experience with a twist instead of handing over a menu n say no to every item. 

Staff are very good. Smiling n putting up with customers frustration. Visit to tick off list. 

Not so good

Not so good soy milk in tbe market. I am still trying to understand why the milk at the bottom is thick n disgusting. Why milk is bitter. Why the carton need to be shake well before use? 

I tried other brands. I am used to fresh soy milk. I know packed soy milk. Of all this is the worst.
