If Only

Today, in particular was a very busy day...probably the busiest day of the entire semester. I had a wonderful experience of what happens to you when you sit on the floor continuously for say five hours and write some stuff. It was a greatly exhilarating feeling....I couldn't walk for about five minutes!!!! But, all this pain was paid-off as I did accomplish what I had to; besides, the college foyer wasn't dry...it was bubbling with some good specimens..NIFT was seated right opposite to me...PLA was there in a corner, but later came around..and so on.....

I happened to watch another romantic movie, If Only. Its a 2004 movie that stars Jennifer Love Hewitt as Samantha Andrews, a young student of music who is visiting from the United States and Paul Nichols as Ian Wyndham. One fine day, Ian has a really bad nightmare at the end of which Samantha has a near break-up fight with him and she dies. Surprisingly, the next morning, all the events are happening in the same sequence, with a very little difference from those of Ian's nightmare. In the end, Ian realizes that the inevitable cannot be changed and seeks to let Samantha know of what he feels for her and all that romance. The romance part is sensible because it looks natural. The entire movie is shot in London, with a few picturesque scenes in the outskirts. One good role was that of the arcane cab driver (Tom Wilkinson). His role is strong as he helps Ian in realizing the essence of living. Worth a watch..
