	REVIEW: Indian Beauty: "Such a Long Journey" Chronicles Middle-Age Strife in 1970s Suburban Bombay
		The words serve as both lesson and warning for Gustad, the put-upon hero of Sturla Gunnarsson's "Such a Long Journey," and all of India as well.
		"Such a Long Journey" is ambitious in that it attempts to address much of the cultural tapestry of India -- ethnic strife, urban degradation and religious conflict.
		It's interesting that "Such a Long Journey" is enjoying a limited release the week that "American Beauty" wins a slew of Oscars.

	37. Traveling at Home and Abroad. Post, Emily. 1922. Etiquette (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		If, in spite of etiquette, she should on a long journey drift into conversation with an obviously well-behaved youth, she should remember that talking with him at all is contrary to the proprieties, and that she must be doubly careful to keep him at a formal distance.
		Such men are of course distinguished citizens who have been in some branch of public service, or who have contributed something to art, science, history or progress.
		Such a girl is always overdressed, she wears every fashion in its extremest exaggeration, she sparkles with jewelry, and reeks of scent, she switches herself this way and that, and is always posing in public view and playing to the public gallery.

	Such a Long Journey -- Roger Ebert's Review
		"Such a Long Journey," filmed on location in Bombay, is a film so rich in atmosphere it makes Western films look pale and underpopulated.
		"Such a Long Journey" takes place mostly in and around a large apartment complex, its courtyard and the street, which the municipal authorities want to widen so that even more choking diesel fumes can cloud the air.
		Gustad's relationship with his wife has elements of an Indian "Honeymooners." The kitchen is her turf, where she defiantly spends long hours in consultation with a neighbor woman who Gustad considers to be a witch (i.e., she has a different set of superstitions than his own).

		Threaded through this complex story is commentary from a pavement artist (Ranjit Chowdhry), who transforms the wall outside the Nobles' apartment building into a spiritual shrine.
		Such a Long Journey is very much a political film, but one that surpasses easy posturing and statement-making in its exploration of the effects of national strife on the personal lives of individual inhabitants.
		Such a Long Journey, while sure to prove too intellectually specific for many audiences, is one worth taking.

	Such a Long Journey (Vintage International), Vintage, Rohinton Mistry
		Such a Long Journey is set in Bombay in 1971, the year India went to war over what was to become Bangladesh.
		The difference between his two masterpieces, "A Fine Balance" and "Such a Long Journey", is that the first is all-encompassing and hence somewhat diluted; whereas "Such a Long Journey" lives in a simple microcosm affected by outside events and is richer as a result.
		In short, Such a Long Journey is a remarkable piece of work: unputdownable and mesmerizing.

		Never in the West, however, has he had such a formidable role as in Such a Long Journey, playing a Bombay bank clerk, a classic Everyman, who is severely tested on the eve of India's 1971 war with Pakistan.
		Such a Long Journey lacks coherence, with too many questions raised only to be dropped for several reels; even the suspense evoked in Gustad's compliance with his old friend's request is allowed to dissipate.
		In short, Such a Long Journey, which has strong political overtones, is not very well-made.

	Review On Such a Long Journey - Rohinton Mistry by karana23 -- MouthShut.com
		Predominantly, Such a Long Journey, tells the tale of an average Bombay-ite, Gustad Noble’s life, who resides in a congested suburbian apartment building and works as a bank clerk.
		But despite its shortcomings, Mistry’s able to convey that indeed the longest journeys are the one taken by the mind and one realizes this every time years fall away as Gustad smells the spine of a classic or looks at an old Meccano set in Chor Bazaar.
		The rules of memory when traversing years in a single second leap are as incomprehensible as its failures, its speed and its powers and this theme comes across through the author’s unrivaled sensory acuteness that captures the rich texture of Indian life in all its resplendence.

	WORLD MIGRATORY BIRD DAY - Climate change and migratory birds
		The long journey to his non-breeding grounds south of the Sahara desert was arduous.
		The majestic bird is desperately looking for a place to rest, where he can recover and refuel until taking up his journey to return to his breeding grounds in a few months time.
		Especially long distance migrating birds feel the effect; as they are less flexible than other birds, they suffer most.

		Such a Long Journey is the first book I have had the pleasure of readingby Mistry and it has been a wonderful experience from start to finish!
		Notes on "Such a Long Journey" Gustad Noble is a quiet family man, living in the Khodadad apartment buildings in the bustling Indian city of Bombay in the 1970's.
		The main thread of the story, and the reason Gustad becomes involved in the money transfers is the intense political crisis, where not for the first time, India and Pakistan are at loggerheads and on the brink of war over East Pakistan, which because of the conflict is destined to become Bangladesh.

	Such a long journey Movie Review
		Look at "Such a Long Journey," for example, directed by the Iceland-born Sturla Gunnarsson who has lived much of his life in Canada.
		From the limited sights of the streets of Bombay, we can feel the pressures of such overwhelming growth and sense how just about any annoyance from the arrogance of municipal authorities to the machinations of central government can lead to widespread unrest.
		Gunnarsson, "Such a Long Journey" turns out a trip worth taking, its audience safely lolling in comfortable theater seats observing the pollution, the corruption, the degradations, the humiliations, and even the momentary joys of family life in Bombay.

		The novel takes place circa-1971 Bombay and focuses on Gustad Noble, an innocent bank clerk, and his family amidst this turbulent time in Indian history where there was a lot of fighting going on at the Pakistani border as well as the border with Bangladesh.
		And it's while you're following Gustad on his journey through all these days that make up one year, you're struck by this realization that his life is a lot like anybody's.
		"Such A Long Journey", in many ways, reflects our everyday life and makes even the worst days seem like beautiful, poignant lessons.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Such a Long Journey" review (2000)
		Capturing an indelible image of everyday life in the teeming, sweaty streets of urban Bombay, circa 1971, "Such a Long Journey" is lightly humorous fable about a modest, honorable and frustrated family man caught in a more complicated and less satisfying life than he ever imagined.
		Based on a novel by one Rohinton Mistry, "Journey" is a simple but surprisingly beautiful film, directed by Sturla Gunnarsson (a Canadian of Icelandic decent -- go figure!) with a hearty sense of history, culture and atmosphere.
		Gustad's memories of his well-to-do, imperial-era childhood vividly contrast the movie's present, which is full of dust, filth and the threat of air raids.

	Such a Long Journey - Rohinton Mistry
		Rohinton Mistry's Such a Long Journey is a fascinating book, a deserving winner of several prizes: the Governor General's Award, the Commonwealth Writers Prize for Best Book, and the SmithBook/Books in Canada First Novel Award.
		The story of Gustad Noble, a moral man trying to cope with life's difficulties, is both involving and multi-layered.
		I can only hope that the movie (which has the same title) manages to capture Such A Long Journey's richness and complexity.

	NYPOST.COM Movie Reviews: A HONEY BUNNY By LOU LUMENICK (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Noyce unsentimentally and unsensationally examines a disgraceful episode many Australians would doubtless rather forget: From 1905 to 1970, half-caste children of Aborigines were forcibly separated from their parents and removed to state-run camps where they were trained as domestic servants.
		The trio undertook an arduous journey on foot through the Outback to return to their mother in Jigalong - 1,500 miles along a rabbit-proof fence that divides western Australia from north to south.
		Noyce paces this amazing story well, and even if his young actors don't seem to have physically suffered as much as they would during such a long journey, he makes extremely good use of the bleak Outback scenery.

	rediff.com, Movies: The road well travelled
		The film is a faithful adaptation of the book, and tells the story of Gustad Noble (Roshan Seth), an upright Parsi family man trying to cope with life within and outside the confines of his dwelling.
		Gustad's ploy to turn a defaced wall, threatened with demolition, into a shrine with the help of a pavement artiste is one such instance.
		Director Sturla Gunnarsson manages to capture the angst of a man desperate for heroes and heroic causes, of a man trying to consolidate his family, friendships and patriotic loyalties all at the same time, and of a man struggling with himself to make sense of situations he didn't ask to be a part of.

		Gunnarsson crams his movie with subplots from the novel and then abandons them for lack of room but Seth calibrates the stages of Gustad's journey with infallible judgement and conviction.
		The dialogue and acting are stagy at times, especially in the early scenes, but the characters are compelling and the Indian atmosphere is vividly sketched.
		The main problem with Such a Long Journey is its storytelling.
