==synopsis==

Professor Chakravarty has found the ultimate solution to aging through a chemical formula. Before he could experiment further on this, his dwelling in the jungles is attacked by a pride of lions, and he gets killed. His wife, Uma (Achala Sachdeo) loses her mind; and his 4 year old son is missing. Seventeen years later, the professor's brother and his daughter arrive there to search for the lost formula and the missing nephew, not knowing that the others accompanying them in this quest have an agenda of their own.

Tell ya what, let's keep counting down but when we get to 1935, start the new round then, with A.

By my calculations, 1957 will be A and 1936 will be V...so we'll miss W, X, Y, and Z.

So...next up, A for 1957!

==Aside==

My home computer crashed and won't start up again. Some invasive spyware was detected and it shut itself down and now it's stuck in some sort of loop and windows won't open.  So I'll only be checking in occasionally when I'm at work until I get it fixed or buy a new computer.  If I decide to buy, I think I'll go with a Mac this time around, I'm told they are way less vulnerable.

Plot summary (from IMDb):  Whit (William Campbell), condemned and awaiting execution, reviews the events of his life that has brought him to Cell 2455 on San Quentin's Death Row, a story he had told in an autobiography that became a sensational best-seller.
