Dear all,
When I heard the news of the legendery actor Omar Sheif's sad demise the other day, my memories flew back to the late 60's, and those Saturday's 6.30 pm16mm movie shows of our good old Al-ind auditorium. Hollywood actors like John Wayne, Gregory Peck, Clint Eastwood, Anthony Quinn alongwith Omar Sherif were few heroes whom we would copy on for the next few days after watching their movies. Few may recall that next day after seeing "Harry Black and the Tiger" almost everyone was walking with a limp because the hero had a limp in that movie.The thick moustache of Omar Sherif was somthing coveted by everyone those days. An English actor with a moustache was a rare seen for our generation then. Though he had a thick accent unlike other hollywood actors we had no clue that he was originally from Egypt. May be we thought, that was his style of delivering English dialouges, and more over back then who understood English movie dialouges anyway. We were
lucky to get a chance to watch their movies and able to know about these great actors in our childhood itself. Thanks ALIND and may his soul rest in peace.

I notice that Revi is still imitating Stewart Granger and walking with a limp.

I was wondering all these years about my limp rather I call it my walking style, and was eager to know from where I acquired it. Problem solved at last. Happy FRINDSHIP DAY.
