Her passing is a huge loss to the film and advertising industry. Not just in terms of her capability and creativity as a remarkable film-maker and creative executive director but also in terms of her ability to stir the hearts of many in the most thought-provoking and childlike honesty.

Here’s an earlier (it was so recent!) post about her work that touched my heart.

Everyone kept telling me I seem to have lost some weight. I stepped on the judgmental-weighing-scale and yes indeed. I lost 3 kilograms (no idea how?!) compared to the last time I stepped foot on that evil object. This time I hope he (the judgmental-weighing-scale) is telling me the truth instead of attributing his inaccuracy to his old age.

PS: I am not going crazy just because I talked to the objects in my apartment.

Yet another enchanting and engaging read by Sophie Kinsella. It is the same old “Kinsella’s writing style” that I love! A lighthearted and hilarious read encircling around a ditzy girl who was haunted by her great aunt (who seems to be stuck in the 1920s despite dying at a great age of 105 in the twentieth century). A story which sets you wishing for an endearing, vivacious and spirited great aunt in your life.

‘Did you know there are thirty-two names for love in one of the Eskimo languages?’ August said. ‘And we just have this one. We are so limited, you have to use the same word for loving Rosaleen as you do for loving a Coke with peanuts. Isn’t that a shame we don’t have more ways to say it?’

Teenager convinces airline bosses that he is an aviation tycoon

In a scam that recalls the Steven Spielberg movie, Catch Me If You Can, a teenage boy has tricked British aviation executives into believing that he was a tycoon about to launch his own airline, it has emerged.

This story reminded me of a friend who claimed to be one of the Facebook’s founders when picking up girls in our local club. He succeeded. Yes. There are stupid and ignorant girls out there. HAHA. I guess he must be really convincing.
