We are all victims, Anselmo. Our destinies are decided by a cosmic roll of the dice, the whims of the stars, the vagrant breezes of fortune that blow from the windmills of the gods.

A Smile That Woke Up My Past
It was a late evening when I was casually browsing the channels on TV that a movie on HBO caught my attention. I had a vague recollection that I had seen this movie many years ago. The recollection thickened as I saw a slim beauty stroll out of the building on to the balcony. The moment she flashed her smile, I knew the movie was Fair Game, and the actress, Cindy Crawford.
Way back during the college days, I was lost in her beauty so much so that every girl I glanced at, I would subconsciously compare her to Cindy Crawford. Sadly, nobody came close. The one who did come close was a senior copywriter of an ad agency, who was unfortunately married. (I mean fortunate for her!).
Talking about the movie, it had Alec Baldwin’s brother William Baldwin, who looked impeccably perfect with a lean body that seemed forever insatiable, and had a face that could have stopped thousand women in their tracks. God! How I wished I could have traded his body for mine then.
But, more than the cast, the movie had me intrigued with its plot. In 1995 (The time the movie was released), advanced electronic surveillance was something that was unheard of, especially in India. The KGB renegade, which is after Baldwin and Crawford in the movie, uses the latest gadgets to zero in on them. The movie zip zapped with a pace that kept a mounting pressure on the heart. With gadgets that could see through concrete to satellite controlling of a hotel’s locking system to electronically tracking a car on the road, it was a movie worth watching.
Even now when I watch the movie for the nth time, I still get goose bumps all over; But what actually blew me away then, were not the bombs in the movie, but the lethal and deadly smile of Cindy Crawford.
