Breakfast in The Afternoon

"I'm like cat here, a no-name slob. We belong to nobody, and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other"

I saw a love story-with a happy ending! It was between the delicate, beautiful Audrey Hepburn and the handsome George Peppard. I don't know why I waited so long to watch the movie. I guess because it is an old classic and when you have the newer Roshans and Vikrams flexing their muscles at you or the various Khans, Suryas and Cloony's working their charm on you (through the screen i.e.), you kind of push away the classics for later.

My dad was the one who introduced me to old classics. But they were the kind he liked and as a kid I watched Guns of Navron, Bridge on the River Kwai, Mackenna's Gold and some popular ones like My Fair Lady, The King and I...just to name a few. Throw in a few B&W hindi classics and most of Satyajit Ray's works-you have a good idea of what my childhood was like.

And so, today afternoon, when I was bored and I wanted to KILL time, literally speaking (no, but yes I would if I could) I thought I'll remember dad and the good old classics and watched Breakfast at Tiffany's. It was funny, it was romantic, it was SWEET and it had the lovely, melodious moonriver. Not only got me through a boring afternoon but also put a song in my heart and a smile on my face.

Two drifters off to see the world

There's such a lot of world to see

(Moonriver)

Yep, my kind of lyrics.
