A Cup of Shai

                  Since it's the last Sunday of February 2016, I thought it'd be quite sweet to to have a throwback to the major event in the February month. Valentines. So. As a true romantic, I pray my future date will be both cultured,  and  an artist in some way. And someone where I think 'I'm at home', because I'll feel safe and calm. Also, to be an artist, you need emotion, creativity, style, passion, and commitment. And I think those are preeeeety admirable qualities to look for in a Man.   Where  in Leicester will I  possibly  find such a cool date? And then it hit me. Being a nerd, I thought, what better way to spend it than at a Museum and Art Gallery. Cultured=  Museum . Artist= Art Gallery .  NEW WALK MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY. New Walk Museum & Art Gallery,  situated in a beautiful, leafy area a stones throw from the City Centre.   Staring me in the face all along. AND they had an exhibition on about Gujarati peop

               I recently interviewed Kathryn King, who is the director of the Four Wheeled Theatre in Loughborough about a play called 'The Effect.' For more inside info...keeep reading :) Original Description What is your play about? ‘The Effect’ centres around four characters involved in a clinical drugs trial for a new anti-depressant.

Connie is a psychology student, who has decided to take part in the trial as a supplement t

                   I went to watch this film in December, and my my my! *wipes away tears from ze romantic memories.* WHAT a mushy film. I like a good love story. The one that makes your insides feel all warm and snuggly like a marshmallow on fire. So when I first chose to watch this film, I thought that it would be like a...'Simran and Raj' but 20 years on from  Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (The Big-Hearted Ones will take the Bride). Here's a clip below of Kajol and Shah Rukh in their Blockbuster Hit Song "Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeah Jaana Sanam" (When I Saw You My Darling...), prancing in a field full of marigolds.  Dilwale...  Yeah. Dilwale... was SO not Simran and Raj's story 20 years on. They are the same people, but not at the same time. Kind of like how a relationship matures as you get to know someone. Initially, there's butterflies, and mystery and excitement, and then you start thinking of all the serious stuff. In a funny way, Dilwale... could b
