OSCARS 2016: AN INTERESTING EVENING OF MANY "FIRSTS"!

Hi Friends,

How are you? And how was Valentine's Day? How did you spend that day in February which comes once in four years? Yep I'm talking of the leap year i.e. 29th February...hope you partied hard! ;-) Even if you didn't, Hollywood sure did when the film fraternity converged together once again to celebrate,honor and reward the finest talents among them at the Oscars.And we too celebrated in their joy as we cheered and rooted for our favorites while sitting in front of our television sets!

While the curtains on the awards season may have come down with the grand finale culminating at the Oscars but at the outset this year has been a mixed bag indeed especially when it came to predicting the winners! And perhaps for some it may even be disappointing to say the least with Sylvester Stallone not winning the Best Supporting Actor award, the lack of diversity clearly visible in the list of nominees and subsequent to it #Oscarsowhite trending across different social networks.

Hi Friends,

How are you doing? I do hope that the first month of the new year has kick-started your plans, goals and resolutions on a high note!

Of candle light dinners,romantic getaways/dates to chocolates, solitaires, champagne, expensive gifts etc...the season of love has finally arrived! Yes, February is right here! In a fortnight everyone will be celebrating Valentine's Day,a day that's dedicated to love!That day in the year when love reaches its zenith! 

Besides gifts here are a few movies that I can add to your list that would make your V-day extra-special (and that too without pinching your pocket)! After all, if you have a choice of five movies to pick from which I am about to share with you...you could rent it out well in advance (or gift a DVD to your sweetheart/ beloved) and enjoy those romantic moments watching the film together as you cozy up to one another. :)
