Small Talk

Eye candy
It is a rare occurrence to have a three-dimensional movie play at a multiplex right here in the city,much less an international smash which has received a lot of critical acclaim and targeted towards the entire family. Up,the latest venture from Pixar Animation Studios,is currently playing at the newly opened Fame Fun n Shop multiplex at Fatima Nagar. Pixar is the studio responsible for animation movies like Finding Nemo and The Incredibles,both of which went on to win Oscars. This is the first time a movie of such high repute as a Pixar animated film is playing in a three-dimensional version at a city multiplex. The three-D effects of Up are extremely smooth and state-of-the-art unlike the tacky and amateurish effects of three-D films of yore,making Up a visual delight to behold. All in all,this is a treat that shouldn’t be missed by anyone. Fame Fun n Shop is showing the three-D version of Up at the timings of 7:30 pm and 10:30 pm regularly.

World Elders’ Day
A gesture appreciation not only makes somebody’s day,but also reminds them of their valuable contribution to the society. Going by the same idea,The Senior Citizens Group of Salisbury Park will meet at Pune Adventist Hospital on October 1,to mark World Elders Day and to felicitate the senior most members of the group for their contribution in social development. Sushama Datar,teacher and trainer in communication skills will give a presentation to the group on re-inventing companionship,with special referennce to the gap that exists between the elderly and the younger generation. She would also discuss methods to overcome the gap and other age related problems in communication skills. The session will be an interactive one,says Urmila Lal,joint secretary,SCGSP.
