The realisation had a somewhat emotional conotation for me.<br />You see, I’m a mid seventies child myself and my dad died in 79. I barely remember him but grew up with a collection of LPs mostly curated by him. He also left behind a digital casio calculator and my mom says even that was still unheard of at that time in our socal circles. <br />Nevertheless, I know he was a movie buff and Trishul’s was one of the records in our collection. Having spent a large part of my life working with IT and computers as a professional, I often wondered if he would have even heard of computers in his time. That particular mention of computers in Trishul suggested he would have at least come across the term, even in a small town in MP in late 70s !<br /> I know this is neither here nor there in the grand scheme of things but just one of those things where the universe helps you connect some emotional chords somehow.<br /><br />The ZNMD scene with Faran and Naseeruddin Shah is really one of my favorites in movies. Speaks volumes between the words actually exchanged. I’m a Zoya Akhtar fan because of that.<br /><br /> <br />Ranjanxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634173562234395844noreply@blogger.com
