Thursday Treats – Crocheted Turtle Bag

My kids are fan of ‘Sammy’s Adventures‘, and ‘ A Turtle’s Tale‘. Specially, Otu, my two year old boy. Every time of day, he is just interested in playing with a baby turtle toy. 🙄

So, this one is specially for him.

  • Do you know that a Turtle’s shell is called ‘carapace’, but they also have a lower shell called plastron‘?
  • Do you know that Turtles have existed for around 215 million years? Phew!!!
  • Do you know that Turtles don’t have Ears, but for sure they can hear?
  • Do you know that just like us, Turtles also have their favorite colors?

Enough Turtle tattle, now I would like to revisit, ‘A Turtle’s Tale‘. I love Baby Turtles too. 😀

 

Tuesday Talkies – Kick Movie – An Exuberant Documentary on Salman, by Salman

 

Kick - Salman Khan's Movie
Kick – Salman Khan‘s Movie

A Salman Khan’s movie should never ever be reviewed or criticized. Salman khan is above all criticism and opinions. He do what he likes, whether it fits in a scale of normality or not. So, you can either get a Kick out of this movie or would just plainly Kick it away, but you can never ignore a Salman Khan’s Movie.

In Kick, Salman has proved once again, that there is no logic in his movies, if there is anything that you can expect from his movies, then, that is – Salman, Salman, and only Salman Khan.

Kick, is a remake of a hit Telugu movie by the same name. I was too much surprised to learn this fact, as, if you see there are almost four writers who are credited for the screenplay of Kick. Surprising is that, first thing that it is a remake, so you already have a story in your hand, second, if you see the movie, then there is no story. 🙄

What were those four writers doing by the way?

I could have written about the story of movie, but as you have seen in my earlier comment, that Kick, do not have any well defined story, so I can not even write spoilers alert for this post. 😛

when you are watching this movie, at some point you will realize that it is actually a documentary. Yes, a documentary, just made on a big budget and grandeur scale.

It’s a documentary on Salman Khan’s real life. 😉

I’ll tell you why….

Girls in Salman's Movie
Girls in Salman’s Movie

First point, Girls —– Just like Salman’s real life, here too you will find girls swooning over him, no matter he is playing hero, or Devil. They love him, adore him; be his mother, his girlfriend, friend’s girlfriend, or some random aunty ji. He will break their hearts, left them in middle, break up without even giving a reason, and still girls will wait for him. Girls are so madly in love, that even when they are talking to their to be husbands, they are talking about Salman, and their doomed love story. Sigh!!!!

All the Enemies Love Him —- Nobody hates him in this movie, not even super cop, Randeep Hooda, who is after Salman to catch him. A super cop, calling a thief, Partner. Yes, you will see this, only in Salman’s movie. Our super villain of this movie, Nawazuddin, also likes him. Want to witness the power of love and harmony, watch this movie. To top it all, even Salman’s father in law, don’t hate him. Infact, he dreads him. 🙂

Salman as Robinhood
Salman as Robinhood with a Mask

Salman is a Robinhood – Salman was always our desi robinhood, who will snatch from the riches and help the poor. In this movie, he has just played himself. He was shown stealing from the very riches, and helping the poor, sick orphan kids, by giving money for their treatment. He is an Angel…. oops!!! he calls himself Devil. 😕Kids Love Salman

Salman Loves Kids —- Salman may or may not marry in his real life, but one this is for sure, that he do not need kids of his own to show his fatherly feelings. He is a favorite amongst kids, and this movie proves it to the hilt. He is helping sick kids, in providing them money for their surgeries. How can you not love someone, who is helping, orphan sick kids. 😛

Everyone Loves Salman Khan

Heart of Gold —- you may have heard about this term, every-time, when you have heard about Salman in real life. This movie is solely based on this phenomenon that Salman has a heart of gold. Every scene in the movie, is sketched just to emphasize how much big that heart of gold is.

Salman Dancing
Salman in Dancing Mood

Salman and his Dancing Parties —- I remember seeing an old video of Salman Khan’s party, where he was dancing with a liquor bottle. In this movie, you will find him, same way dancing along with his friends, enjoying every beat of music. He even says, we celebrate in defeat too. Classy!!! That is totally Salman’s philosophy.

Kick ofSalman
Kick of Salman

Other things which are just like his real self are his comedy scenes, his sarcasm, his larger than life action image, and his super-heroism. 🙂

Go for ‘Kick’. If not for the movie, then just to find out, what everyone (his fans), think of Salman Khan. 😀

Mouthwatering Monday – Tortilla / Spanish Omelet

Omelets are ‘The Best’ when you want to eat, something tasty, healthy and which is quick to make too. I have made Omelets many times and with many different combinations, but so far, Spanish Omelet or shall I say Tortilla is the best, that I have tasted.

It’s mostly known as Tortilla, and in English as Spanish Omelet, just to avoid confusion with the normal Egg Omelet.

Spanish Tortilla is made with Potatoes and Eggs. Onions are a modern addition to this traditional Spanish dish. What makes it stand out from the rest, is its juicy taste, which was missing in normal Omelet.
