THE FOG!

When fog occurs in atmosphere
we can not see around us!

When fog occurs in life
we disappear for awhile! 

In search of ourselves
in search of our love!

[I wrote verse on this picture! It's from renowned Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni's 'Red Desert' (1964). This was his first colour film, which is in 60th anniversary! One of my favourites from classic world cinema!]

'JULIET' OLIVIA..NO MORE!

Sad to know my favourite pretty gorgeous Juliet on screen..Olivia Hussey passed away recently!

An Argentine actress Olivia portrayed this character very innocently and beautifully in Italian director Franco Zeffirelli's film 'Romeo and Juliet' (1968). In this handsome English actor Leonardo Whiting superbly played the Romeo with her! It's also my favourite screen version of Shakespeare's this romantic play!

This superhit film became so popular and won 'Golden Globe' award!

Few years ago, Olivia published her biography 'The Girl On The Balcony'!

I still remember her in its classic scene with quote..
"It is the East and Juliet is the Sun!"

Homage!!
