So, I happened to watch 'Pretty Woman' for the bazillionth time the day before and the movie still has the same magic it had the first time I watched it. But there was something different about it this time. At the end of the movie, when Richard Gere misses his flight for Julia Roberts and does-what-he-does-best and they kiss and make up, I did not want it to happen. Because, let’s face it, it DOES NOT happen in the real world. In the real world, people take that flight and go where ever the hell they were supposed to go to or runaway to any place that they can, as long as they can get away from the mess.The Edwards never come back for the Vivans (hooker or no hooker). Then why make gullible people believe that they do? Okay, so the movie never intended for us to believe in happy-endings but when we end up watching countless movies, I guess everybody starts believing in them. A girl’s gotta believe in something. What better than happy-endings, right? WRONG, they don’t exist! Fairy tales don’t either but we always knew that. Then why do we still go ahead, dumping everything we’ve ever been warned about, and wish for them to be real? Maybe that just comes with being human, a desire for the perfect end. Or maybe it’s just a load of bullshit and an absolute waste of anything worthwhile! Maybe we should blame 'Pretty Woman' for making us delusional and building a bubble around us but thanks to the real-life-Edward Lewis' all around us, the bubble has long been burst and we’re back to watching '10 Things I Hate About You' (strictly for the title) with chocolate and a bowl of ice cream.

Hope and Miracles sound dreamy and both us know that we hafta wake up one day.**damn alarms** Maybe I'm just being cynical, but seriously,you'll save yourself a lot of trouble if you give hope and candy a break!
Hehehe, I noticed that too. Maybe we should search for a movie that doesn't have any glitches. Impossible, but we should begin our search. :D
see sachin scoring a double-ton is a symbol of both hope and miracle and i can cite few more examples:P and you want to watch a movie without glitches ?? watch NAYAGAN in tamil! kamal and mani ratnam!
Oh noooo, you missed the whole point. I was talking about giving up hope on any kind of *romantic* happy ending! And I'm not including romanticizing Sachin or his batting here. I absolutely agree with having hope and believing in miracles in everyyyyy other way. Last year we HOPED that the Deccan Chargers would win the IPL and them winning it was nothing short of a MIRACLE :) (especially considering their performance in season 1). Long live all things good like that :D
I haven't watched or heard of NAYAGAN, but are you sure it's glitch-free? And do you, by any chance, have the movie with you?
download karr re.. else go buy it.. its worth every buck spent! and if u say so :P
You never know. Read on the theory of Black Swans :D
To tell you the truth, only way to become Edward Lewis is to become one. Coz before we desire somebody to come back we have to know if we will??
