It has been some time
now that I have been toying with the idea of a blog about cinema. ‘Toying’ seems to be the exact word cos
I never really got down to seriously putting down anything. I started a separate
blog; named it ‘Cinemorphemes’ and even posted a single entry (on 3rd
May this year). So Cinemorphemes as a dedicated vehicle has pretty much got
stuck in that rut. Perhaps, he has needed a helping hand all along. Which is
why it will be now CPq’s great honour to host its films-snooty and knowledgeable
twin blog in its own domain!!
The merger now being
complete, I hereby present CPq’s first address to the discerning public about
the development.
“Dear Readers, I understand it is to be my
great burden to host my brother Cinemorphemes in my house. To say I am
completely thrilled at the prospect would be incorrect. In fact, I resent that
he so arrogantly purports to run his operations from my demesne – a space which
I have so carefully cultivated for my own expression. But as they say ‘Blood
runs thicker than water’, and boorish, self-righteous and insufferable though
he might be, Cinemorphemes does know his way around the craft of cinema. My
brother has always been the smart sort growing up, and I have to concede – he’s
always on the level when he talks about films and the people who work in them. I
will be quite interested in what he has to say and the themes he wants to
explore; so, let us all welcome him and his quirky, strange ideas.
Yeah and one more thing, I call my little bro ‘CineM’ – hope you will too!”
Well, I hope CineM lives
upto his older brother’s proud declaration. Lights, Camera, Action……..
