'The Dark Knight Rises’ nominated for four MTV Movie Awards

Director Christopher Nolan’s award-winning movie ‘The Dark Knight’, the final offering from the Batman trilogy, has been nominated in four categories of the MTV Movie Awards 2013 – Movie of the Year, Best Fight, Best Villain and Best Shirtless Performance. The movie competes with ‘Django Unchained’, ‘Silver Linings Playbook’, ‘Ted’, and ‘The Avengers’.
The Batman trilogy made by Christopher Nolan include ‘Batman Begins’ (2005), ‘The Dark Knight’ (2008) and ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ (2012).

The first movie co-written by Nolan, focused on Bruce Wayne’s fear of bats, death of his parents and how he becomes Batman. Christian Bale plays Batman along with Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Cillian Murphy and Morgan Freeman. Nolan and his co-writer David S Goyer worked on improvising the earlier version of Batman in ‘Batman & Robin.’ They lent it a darker, realistic and a human touch, making the audience empathize for Bruce Wayne and Batman. Nolan also used more of stunts as compared to digital images.

The second movie ‘The Dark Knight’ was released in 2008. Following critical success of the first movie, Nolan’s second venture was a takeoff on the Joker, a comic character of the 40s, a 1988 graphic novel ‘The Killing Joke’, and also comic series ‘The Long Halloween’ (1996). Heath Ledger played The Joker, but unfortunately died six months before the release of the movie. Ledger transformed the villain’s role in cinema, made it look darker than ever.

The third and final offering, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ was released in 2012 and is a sequel to the other two movies of the series. Nolan sums up the entire series by ending the character of Batman who is subsequently a martyr in Gotham City.

Top reasons why the Batman movie ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ can win:

1) Eight years after ‘The Dark Knight’ was released, a completely different part of Batman was shown – the emotional side in fighting the dark forces.
2) Unlike in the previous series, the villain Bane is a better match in terms of strength, intelligence and wit with the caped hero Batman or Bruce Wayne. He turns out to make very clever strategies.
3) Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle plays the cunning and deviant catwoman who burgles the rich people of Gotham city. She was another of the three new characters introduced by Nolan who played vital roles.
4) It maintains a high level of mystery, suspense and fear of the unknown in all the characters, keeps you gripping your seat.

Hug and Kiss ‘em & Hold ‘em close to you!

From the moment I conceived, it was my fantasy to have a super tactile bond with my child after he/she would be born (for the longest possible time, I felt it would be a girl!). After my son was born, things became different and the first three months were extremely painful feeding him or holding him thanks to my C-section stitches. So all maternal feelings vanished into thin air and all I could think was sleep or having “me-time”.  There was hardly a chance to cuddle up with him! Post partum depression had hit me big time and me not being able to calm down a screaming infant had dipped my morale too. Motherhood was nothing like I had imagined it would be! Besides I was terrified that my son would not accept me if I didn’t develop a bond early on. Of course, that did not happen. It was a mom’s fear that had spoken. After he entered the infamous toddler phase, I became the quintessential “villain” for my son – the usual don’t do this and that. Yet again, my dreams of becoming...

Lockdown diaries: Kuchh Aur Naye Band kisse

Chaaron taraf band khidkiyaan, sunsaan raaste, Hawayein chal rahi thi, patte bhi gire pedon se, Maidaano mein char rahe kuch jaanwar, Chidiyan chehek rahe the. Jo awaazein kabhi motor ki shor mein ghul gaye the, aaj sabhi zinda huye. Band gharon mein jaan aayi, Bachchon ki shorgul, cooker ki seetiyan, Kahin thahakon ki awaaz goonji. Chai ke pyaale, puraane gupshup aur naashte ki mehek har jagah chhayi. Khidkiyon se jhaankte huye kuchh chehre,  Ankhon mein aas lagaye baithe,  Kab ye virus chala jaaye, kab hum azaad panchhi ho Bebasi ki leher mein ummeed bhi thi shaamil. Bachhon ki khushiyan jaise garmi ki chuttiyan aa gayi, Ghar mein khel kood, FM par gaane, TV par Mahabharat aur Ramayan ka laut aana, Wahi chutkule, wahi kehkahe, wahi masti ki leher  Wah! Bachpan ke din laut aaye! Par iss baar chuttiyan lambi lagti hain, Mann mein khushi bhi, asmanjas bhi, Ghar mein surakshit raho, virus se bachke raho: yahi naara hai desh ka! Khushiyan fir se laut aayengi, ummeed hai y...
