The Blind Side - the movie

Was watching this again yesterday. Ita about a white family adopting a black boy and the boy becoming a great player in American football.

Now I am not a big believer in America or it's football. Nor am I much interested in blank-white tension. We have enough issues of our own, but the movie is fantastic. I think it was very mature in it's own way. The overall portrayal of a mother-son relationship, and in American social conditions.

The other thing I loved was the occupation of the "dad". I think owning 85 taco Bella and fast-food chana is amazing. And it's steady money, and a lot of it too :).

The confidence and security the entire family in that movie show comes out very naturally to the actors. This is amazing quality of actors, being into their character. Unlike a Shah-rukh Khan who is always himself no matter what the movie :).

So all in all, I liked what I saw in the movie.

Is Chess a racist game??

Ever wondered in carrom, why is white a 20 pointer and black a 10 without being a rare entity???

And why in Chess, whites always start.

Just thinking :)

Knowing more

If you know what your problems are, at times it's tougher compared to if you do not know them.

Life is funny :)
