And thanks also to Rajesh for the beautiful translation. Apart from film making John has written short stories, poems and street plays. John had many great themes on his mind when he died. His departure was a great loss to Malayalam cinema.<BR/><BR/>PriyaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9872211.post-1146509467383602702006-05-01T14:51:00.000-04:002006-05-01T14:51:00.000-04:00Hey got it dev dhanks.Hey got it dev dhanks.Ubermenschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929115834655344542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9872211.post-1145973165032201172006-04-25T09:52:00.000-04:002006-04-25T09:52:00.000-04:00Sunil, thanks for the idea.

Quite consistent with his isolated among group image. He didn't care. I too have not seen all his films.<BR/><BR/>I tried to get my luck on a few such films and was unsuccesfull. One of my journalist friends recommended specific collectors, but I ran out of my vacation in India to meet them. I checked amazon.com and other similar sites and they seemed to have prices ranging between $41 - $100. Good luck.<BR/><BR/>I have the movie (Man bites dog) queued up in netflix. Should arrive in a week.<BR/><BR/>Hey Dev, Yeah I saw you and booty frequent the site and was enough reason for me to drop in for a bit at Sulekha.<BR/><BR/>It's a bit depressing to say that, that was the best period of malayalam movies with Aravindan, Padmarajan, John, Adoor and even MT going full throttle with their creativity that is unmatched anywhere. I wish to relive the times someday.Rajeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17054636458306496958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9872211.post-1145733394512171612006-04-22T15:16:00.000-04:002006-04-22T15:16:00.000-04:00Hi Rajesh, happened to see the same post in Sulekh...Hi Rajesh, happened to see the same post in Sulekha a few minutes ago. Certainly brought back memories of a very rich period of Malayalam cinema and of a friend from Odessa telling me anecdotes about John. More power to your pen.<BR/>p.s. uber try ebay for the Apu trilogy. I bought the VCDs from a Kolkatta based seller who was offering the trilogy on ebay.Devhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11388723982470778938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9872211.post-1145729584328437982006-04-22T14:13:00.000-04:002006-04-22T14:13:00.000-04:00Hey Rajesh, Splendid translation, I cant read mala...Hey Rajesh, <BR/>Splendid translation, I cant read malayalam but if such be the translations Im happy to leave it as it is.Can I pay you to translate the entire book? <BR/>Coming to John, Ive had friends who spoke highly of him, consistent with the enigmatic legend image.<BR/>Unfortunately I havent seen any of his movies.I shall start looking.<BR/>Thanks for the post.<BR/>Just beside a question? although its not the appropriate forum, Is apu trilogy available in dvd format in India? It is £50 here.<BR/>Anywhere in kerala ? And preferably in dvd, not vcd et al.<BR/><BR/>Ah, one other thing, I dont know if you have seen C'est arrivé près de chez vous (english- Man bites dog) 1993 cannes winner. I was so captivated i hunted all around to get a dvd copy. Im sure you would like it a lot. If you havent seen , you must asap.Ill write later.Ubermenschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929115834655344542noreply@blogger.com
