Babel

Posted by Nishit Shah on January 3rd, 2007

BabelFour stories. Three countries. One awesome movie. There are four different stories taking place in different parts of the world. Its about a couple on a holiday in Morocco, two young boys who take care of their goats in Morocco, a deaf and mute girl in Japan and a nanny in Mexico and how all the stories are connected to each other. This movie like Crash (2005) also explores culture clashes in life by navigating multiple interweaving story lines.

Watch it before it gets off the theaters.

Books

Its been almost a month since I purchased my set of books for the month so decided to go to a bookstore on my way home from work and bought the following books. Hope to finish them by the end of this month and will write a short review after finishing each of them.

Maximum City
: Bombay Lost and Found - Suketu Mehta

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking - Malcolm Gladwell

Freakonomics : A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything - Steven Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner

Like the Flowing River: Thoughts and Reflections - Paulo Coelho

Can start reading these only after I finish reading Gung Ho by Ken Blanchard borrowed from my office library. Used to finish a book in week’s time but these days get time to read only while traveling between home and work :( and seldom on weekends.
