Dasvidaniya '08 ; YO '09

2008 has been a roller coaster ride for all of us. While writing this, i know 2009 has already arrived in Eastern parts. Japan, Australia.

Its been a year of mixed feelings and to some extent - failures both personally and in general.

Though i wouldn't be discussing about what happened, i just hope and wish 2009 to be a properous year for all of us.

Thence, Wishing you all a very Happy and fun filled New Year!

After Thought: If you have some plans for today, here's the link to its aftermath:

Sorry...Lucky!!!

Two diametrically opposite films released last week with one common theme - stealing. One involved stealing heart (Sorry Bhai) and other, everything else and much more!

An highly educated upper class, modern-thinking couple plans to visit their elder son, Suri's marriage in Mauritius along with their, 'The Everything Alive Theory' specialist-scientist younger son, Siddharth (Sharman).

- Lucky, a clever 'Rishi Kapoor' Sardar belonging to a lower middle class family with an uncaring father (Paresh Rawal, PR) and carelessly-seducing stepmother wants to be rich in now or never fashion.

Trouble begins when stock broker Suri couldn't spend much time with free-flying, film-student fiance, Chitrangda Singh, who happens to find quantum of solace in Sharman. And here you go, Love blossoms quite naturally.

- Lucky, right from stealing money from his dad to removing tyres from a scooter to finance his dating with gift-shop girl, fulfils his desires and 'finds' his career.

Commanding mom (Shabana Azmi) happens to understand the nuances of this new-unstable relationship while passive dad (Boman Irani) enjoys everything from staring at couple-kissing-on-street to... literally everything!!

- Adolescent Lucky (Abhay Deol) find his mentor (PR again) and grows to be a grouse for the Dilliwallahs except for one girl, Sonal (Neeta Chandra).

Initial rejection and acceptance later when the newly formed couple couldn't 'control' their emoticons, helpless bhai tells his bhaiyya and as usual, hell breaks!

- Lucky is quite lucky atleast in love where his girlfriend doesn't mind him being a thief, that too a charmer thief. The rise and rise of Lucky creates a crack in relationship with his mentor and is caught thanks to his guru but soon to escape and rise again!

Much mellowed mom, after dad's tuition on 'how-to-love-childern', finds a probable solution to contain the nasty situation.

- Now celebrity thief Lucky, tries his luck in setting up of a hotel along with a smooth talking, rogue vet doc (PR yet again!) and his 'neither-here-nor-there' childhood friend but in vain. And he's caught and ...escapes again!

Awesome performances by the entire casts of both the films especially by Paresh Rawal in 3 completely different roles in Lucky and Shabana Azmi in Sorry Bhai. Best thing about both the movies is that, the judgement of morality w.r.t acts performed by the characters is left to viewers' discretion, where each and every character is flawed and perfect in their own perspective. Worth Watching both!

P.S: Guess, you got confused with topic title? Yes! i knew it!! :)

Ash Wednesday

Another day. Another blast. As if a new film's releasing every Friday, we are being 'released' from the face of the earth as if some kind of bloody layoff's on the roll. Except that it happened on a Wednesday (Nov 26th '08). 'Ash Wednesday' is celebrated by followers of Jesus all over the world to commemorate his victory over evil. Seems like this phrase has got a different meaning, courtesy? terrorists.

How long we have to show that we are resilient? to whom? to world which condemns and forgets? to the terrorists that okay you can come and ravage again and that we are Indians and 'we are like this only' since time immorial?! Enough of this shit thing....

Where the hell was Raj Thackeray and his 'Sena' brigade when Mumbai was being massacred? What happened to his 'Marathi Manoos' agenda when his fellow Marathis were being slained mercilessly by the 'outsiders'? I am damn sure he must be getting ready for his next level plan of action on the North 'outsider' Indians. I dare him to go out and speak now for this!

Already we can hear the barking of the opportunist politicians for they got, yet again, a chance to rape the country to accumulate their ill-gotten wealth for their 'after-life' expenses. Thank You and Come again! for we are a nation known for our hospitality since pre-historic times!

Recent example of the above breed is the veteran communist Kerala CM, Achutanandan. His remark, 'Even a dog wont come near slain NSG commando, Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan's house if he's not there'. I wonder why his guards haven't reacted yet when their own kin's been insulted!

For how long we do keep blaming the good-for-nothing politicians? As the reports are emerging that our own local Indian group helped the outsiders to fuck us in our own land makes me feel more remorse, ashamed and angry.

Add to this, the media coverage of the entire mishap was an act of complete misuse of freedom of speech. NSG and Indian Army bosses (God help us!) going public with the strategies being used to rescue the hostages and kill the terrorist were being aired Live! Don't we have an ounce of common sense that terrorist masterminds would be watching the same and instructing them to tackle the situation?!

I am sure, the outsiders would be celebrating their victory over mutilated Indian/Israeli bodies in some fucked up mountain 'holes' by spending British pounds on American drinks, Afghani opium, Pakistani babes and Iranian food served by Chinese!!! What a fucking globalisation?!!!

Reading today's dailies (Dec 3rd, 08) gives a good feeling about the Isrealies and their much celebrated love for their fellow Israelies no matter which sub-group, region, color, caste they belong to. The whole of Israel mourned the deaths of their brethren in the attacks. And we Indians, huh...wot a joke? forget it!!! Shame on us.

We are collectively responsible for the miserable state we are in. It's high time that we should 'look within' than elsewhere and question our own ideals and principles.

P.S. : No need to bury the terrorists in Indian Soil, for they don't deserve it. Don't burn them, for their ashes pollute the Indian Air. Don't drown them, for they pollute the Indian Water. Don't even feed them to the animals, for the terrorists' flesh and blood demonises the beneficiary. Just send them back the way they came from, for it is the 'Karma' of every individual to return to their roots!!!

A Rs. 50 Crore Yawn!

A mere 10 mins into the film, Yuvvraaj - Music Binds Love- you would know that you're in deep trouble, a realisation that u have wasted your time and of course, your money!!!

The problem with Yuvvraaj is that its not a bad film...its a boring film.

The movie opens with Katrina playing a cello with a voice over by Aushima. and then something happens...the hero enters and that's it...the trouble begins...

Salman enters the scene with his 'anglicised' - european accent , who happens to be a chorus singer for some xyz opera group for whom Katrina, sole daughter of a billionaire eccentric doctor father, Boman Irani who's against his daughter romancing a living-on-rent-life Salman. Boman was right actually!

Apparently, as one of bollywood's cliches, our hero is an enstranged-second son of a billonaire Indian-English Father (Javed Sheikh) who's sent away after his brawl with his autistic elder brother, Anil Kapoor.

Soon, the father dies and the battle for the power of money begins. Enters third arrogant-playboy son of the only deceased person in the movie to claim the same...

Add to this mess, a bit of cartoon characters, a blue-eyed-mama (why the fcuk blue?), a cleavage-popping-'shuddh'-hindi-speaking bhabhi and other ignored extras...and there you have, Yuvvraaj.

Right from scene 1, the movie's filled with silly dialogues and poor characterisation. Even the serious scenes are so unintensionally funny that u wont feel anything for anybody including Anil's mentally-retarded-musically genious-character.

In one scene, the doctor who examines Anil, even proclaims that autistic people would be genius in classical music...seriously is this the new Ghai-Theory?

Music and Background music are just awesome, with good cinematography though was a bit inconsistent in some places. Editing is sloppy.

Set pieces are ok though in one post-interval scene, salman's house seems to have windows of 5ft high from inside and 2 ft high from outside. now, i donno wot technology might have been used here. but it didn't matter personally...

Salman is totally misfit as Yuvvraaj as it required someone energetic and lively. Add to this, he is is a chorus singer..Gawd! its really someone's talent to find out when he's acting and when he is not and when he is doing both simultaneously...didn't get it right? don't worry...same here...

Katrina looks gorgeous...but she should learn to act. How long can one fool the audience?

Zayed has two great scenes, one shouting and another crying -which give comic relief to the bored audience. this is really worth watching..!

Anil plays autistic but one is confused whilst he is singing...u can't figure out if he is singing or boxing or whatever....His is the only performance... 

Subhash Ghai, i think, is still in 1985.  Can somebody tell him that its 2008?

Dostana - Movie Review

There is a serious sequence in the post-interval where Priyanka is pretty unhappy and perturbly worried that 3 of'em, Priyanka, AB and John like the same person (Bobby Deol). It starts off in a very serious manner and you end up laughing out loud for her feelings towards the whole scene! Situations like these are remembered no matter how good/bad the movies are.

That AB and John pretend to be gay is no secret, this movie is quite funny and entertaining with all the mix and match of regular Hindi films stuff like screeming 'Pun'jabi mom with Karva Chauth formula applied to a 'gay' scenario.

Yup, its quite a norm now that brains are to be left behind, if you go by the recently released movies: the biggest flaw being how come two seemingly hot and sexy guys can't get a flat/house for rent in Miami and that they are so desparate that they would do/be anything/anyone to get a place! Honestly, the whole movie is enjoyable with lengthy first half and should-have-been-trimmed second half.

Boman Irani (Priyanka's boss) and Kirron Kher (AB's mom) in guest roles are amazing. Sushmita Mukherjee (Priyanka' aunt) is strictly okay though her 'Marilyn Manroe Act' is tolerable. Bobby Deol is just fine where as Shilpa Shetty is a sex-bomb!

Priyanka is damn beautiful and sexy (in a bikini especially) and yes, she does act quite comfortably. The ಮ್ಯೂಸಿಕ್ (Vishal-Shekhar) really gels well with the movie though i couldn't remember even a single track later. Cinematography is average as me being an aficionado, expect some breath taking Miami locales.

The film indeed belong to the official (they receive resident permit on gay couple terms) gay couple AB and John. Dialogues are fun to hear and both in fix situations are really good to watch.

After Thought: Gotto know from movie that Gabbar Singh was gay! And so were Munna and Circuit! Now how wacky is that!!!

And Obama it is!

After listening and watching to an almost 2-year gruelling cam'pain'ing, Americans voted for an African American to be their president for the first time in history. This seems to be a symbolic gesture to the whole world about the Equality America has been preaching for years. How much of this is followed in spirit and work needs to be seen.

Congratulations to America. Hope Obama is their hope against hope in over coming the present shitty economic situation they are in. And so is the world.

One thing am really astonished was/is the way Indian media coverage of the US elections. All the major news channels covered the whole euphoria surrounding the election with so much enthusiam that it felt as if the elections are being carried out in India!!! Hopefully they will show same enthu to some of the burning and 'relevant' issues we currently have and help in bring about a change rather than just give footage to some silly freaking sensational news!!!

America Votes!

The world's most powerful nation is voting for the world's most powerful man. Couple of years ago, there was this joke that World's most powerful person is a MORON! Obama camp definitely doesn't look like one though the same can't be said of McCain camp especially with Sarah Palin to give him company!!!


All the exit polls predict the first ever Black presidential nominee (read Obama) - a winner but who knows. As they say, 'Its America anything can happen!'.


Soon the cat would be out of its hat. Only thing that needs to be seen is how dumb or clever its gonna be compared to the present most dumbest in American history.


Lets see.

Happy Formation Day

Today's the day when Karnataka was formed officially in the year 1956. Though the identity existed much much and very much (am going bonkers over here.. hehe) before than that, our so-called 'far-sighted' statesmen thought the unifying the regions on the basis of linguistic pursuits would be the bestest possible solution to the newly freed, partitioned and formed India from the...'you-know-who'. Now we know the result of this decision for all of us to see as to what is happening in neighbouring Maharastra over the alleged 'outsiders'.


Coming to our state's Formation Day, it took only a fraction of a sec to realize that today is Nov 1st. The loud music playing across the street where a stage has been set to celebrate this vibrant spirit is anything but proof of disturbing my hard-earned sleep!


Fine! i can forgive them for there is a much better reason for alterning my saturday sleep mode.


Yeah i am proud of my roots being a Kannadiga in particular and Indian in General and Most important in patriotic sense.


And the Masterstroke, Kannada got the 'Classical Language' status which couldn't be more appropriate timing and i think, the celebration would be more enticing as, as per media reports, thanks for some Tamil-philics who tried, in vain, to derail this well deserved feat.


I guess, this is wot is called, 'Neighbour's Envy, Owner's Pride' ..hehehe


Anyways, Happy Karnataka Formation Day / Kannada Rajyotsava to all of you.

Yuvvraaj - Music Review

I don't remember me questioning ARR's any of the compositions, ever. His songs from Roja were too much to create an impression in me so much so that i learnt Tamil on my own, both read and write with a little help later...anyways that's a different story...not now!

I have reached such a stage where i just have to listen his music. Nothing questioned. None answered.
However, i do feel like sharing some of my thoughts on this masterpiece.
This is wot i have got to say abt the ARR's next creation, 'Yuvvraaj'.

1. Main Hoon Yuvvraaj - With Fifth of Beethoven's composition to give company, Salman gives an intro into his character in particular and the movie in general. Played by Chennai String Orchestra - A product of ARR's KM Music Observatory (not sure though). Guess this is their first. Sounds good. The composition is reminiscient of the 80's where scores similar to this have had been used as a background track.

2. Tu Hi To Meri Dost Hain - This track hooks on the listener's attention the moment it starts with Benny Dayal's mesmerising voice. Shreya and ARR in that order join him at later stage to give him company.

3. Shano Shano - A hip-hop meets techno meets reggae track but a nice one. This one has a nostalgic 80's feeling though.

4. Tu Muskura - This heavenly composition clearly shows the way where ILaya Raja and ARR truely belong - to another Epoch - where there is no competition but only Absolute Bliss!!!
This astounding track is minimalist in terms of musical arrangements but rests mainly on Alka Yagnik's superb vocals supported by Javed Ali of 'Jashn-E-Bahaara' (Jodha Akbar) and 'Nagada' (Jab We Met) fame. The final alaap is the masterstroke of this number.

I know many 'Rahamaniacs' are of mixed opinion on this song. Imagine a situation that there were to be 2 versions of this song: one with heavy music and another is this. And 'heavy' version would be publicised and this 'soft' version would be titled as 'Tu Muskura -reprise' which is the industry-norm when 2 versions of the song existed. Then I am damn sure that ppl would have definitely liked the soft version more after some time and this would have been a true masterpiece soundtrack as it is now!!!

Truly, I believe, it must have been a huge gamble for ARR and Subhash Ghai especially when, at this time we have all bombarding sound tracks by other composers. Really what a composition it is!!!

5. Mastam - Gulzar's truly visible in this track with his humourous take on the use of words! I felt, this song in the initial stages sounded familiar on the lines of the song 'I am sorry' from the film '1 2 ka 4'. However, a lively song with an ensemble of singers like Sonu, Srinivas, et al.

6. Zindagi - A beautiful feel good number sung by Srinivas. Strangely, the phrase 'zindagi zindagi' and the phrase 'Pyaar hai ya sazaa' from Salaam-e-ishq's 'Ya Rabba' number (S-E-L) sounded similar but both in different pitches. while the latter is on high note in Kailash Kher's earthy tone, the former is a soft number in Srinivas' classical voice.
Earlier too, I felt, Dil Se's end credits and 'Sahara' (sad version) from 'Sivaji -The Boss' were on same lines in different tones. Just an observation.

7. Dil Ka Rishta - Indian Classical Music finally meets Western Classical in this fantabulous fusion number sung marvellously by RoopKumar Rathod, Sonu and ARR with additional vocals. This shows the true strength of ARR where there is a seamless fusion of Western and Indian cords. Its really difficult to differentiate both the types of music. This is supposed to be a climax song where all the 3 brothers with 3 different tastes in music come together to lip-sync this gem of a track! Anyways, a great piece!

8. Manmohini Morey - Literally no two words on this 3 minute 11 sec masterpiece Hindustani Classical number. If you find one, please do let me know. Dude, Vijay Prakash, I think you've truely arrived! Congratulations!!!

9. Shano Shano - Remix - Not an usual remix where the whole song is repeated with a high tempo and inordinate and inconsistent loops. But really a remix sounding different from the original number.

On the whole, i have no qualms in admitting that this is one of ARR's best works. But on the brighter side, which album of his, is not his best?!!

I am definitely glad that ARR hasn't admitted till now that XYZ album is his best. I wish and honestly feel that he shouldn't. Why? You ask me why? well, have you ever heard/seen of a river having its favourite river bank? No isn't? It won't reveal its fav bank and not even when it meets its destination i.e. Ocean or Sea.
I know and wish, ARR will keep searching for his destination while on his way, keep us mesmerised with his music.

Regarding the movie, honestly i don't care. if its good, its a pluspoint! (hehehe).
One info for 'non-Rahmaniacs': if you don't like to hear to ARR try the following:
1. Listen Again.
2. Go to step (1).

After thought: I heard Subhash Ghai telling media that 'Yuvvraaj' is about today's youth and their arrogance. Salman, Anil Kapoor and Youth???!!! I guess, he must have heard of media's lines "40's is today's 20's"...anyways, i admire him w.r.t casting ONLY for ONE thing. A Cello in the hands of Beautiful and Gorgeous Katrina. She truly has that ethereal beauty. Yes, I am jealous of Salman ONLY for this asset of his!!!

The Costliest Indian Village...

After a month long stay in Gurgaon here's wot i think of Gurgaon or Gurgram or 'Flat'gaon or whatever...

* Clear distinction between old and new areas: old - left to the care of Haryana Govt. and New - to the mercy of the corporates.

* Dusty - here i was thinkin Bengaluru shud be named the 'Dust Capital' but i honestly feel that the most deserving candidate is this costliest village.

* Weather - Extremes.

* Places - Forget it. However, one place deserves a mention. The Great Gurgaon Bus Stand. Looks like its been bombed and ppl settled some time later...

* The Great Divide - The adjacent image sums up all i have to say.

* The Advantage - Gurgaon can be moulded into any place as its still relatively 'new' in terms of development.

Flight Plan

My debut flight from Bengaluru International Airport Limited. How exciting isn't it?! Actually not much though its my 'Divine' ambition to fly anywhere and everywhere!


I don't want to get too much critical that too early Monday morning! Nonetheless, the port is quite clean. When i had seen its initial pictures before the airport's commencement, i had my doubts of it being an 'International' airport which according to the pictures, resembled more of the shattered 'Tata Singur Nano' factory! Yes. it was anything but airport.


Its 'greenish' in color from inside which is one of my fav colors..and the surprising thing is, I could spot chirping Sparrows (!!!) which are an endangered species in ever-growing-never-improving-Bengaluru!!! What a relief!


Having feasted on a Walnut Brownie (my fascination started with Dutch Brownies!!) and a 'Pocket' Maaza, lemme move towards my Gate to Perdition, ala...Delhi...to my final destination of Gurgaon....




My first trip to North India. Lemme see the often-called-rude-and-ruthless-but-heart part of the 'Hindi' India! No racist comments here please!...


bye for now...c u later.

The Splendid Falls of Jog!

I don't think i would ever get tired of this awesome place where Sharavati in her full beauty descends down the cliff to join the Arabian a few miles away.

Jog Falls, the highest waterfall in India and 2nd highest in the world (alleged), is a true 'white' charmer....especially in the monsoon (june - sept).

After a long time, I visited the place with my Family...we, all the four, went for a ride to Jog!!

The place was good, it was drizzling which permitted only ME to go out and enjoy as my bro was down with Cold, mum was taking care of him and dad was giving them company!

anyways, went to view the falls...as usual, it was a bit lot foggy which blurred my 'myopic' view.
too many people...and particularly there was one group where a guy was explaining to his friends as to how his 'other' friend 'slipped' from the top!! and many of his idiotic friends were asking him the exact position from where he slipped!!! donno whether they were 'planning' their 'accidental' suicide! hehe...

I must confess that i was a bit disappointed as the water level was very low (guess its being stored for next year's gruesome summer in Linganamakki dam!)

though i took some snaps from my mobile, they are not that good to be posted here..instead google for the same!!!
catch u later...bye for now..

An Unfriendly chat with once-friendly Friend.

Sunil: Hi Anthony. How are you? Its been a long time since we met.
Anthony: Hey Sunil.. wassup man? yeah..its really been a fcuking long time we met...well...am fine.am cool..in fact am
great!!! oh! i almost forgot! how the fcuk are you???

Sunil: am fine too.thanks! (raising his eyebrows...)...could u pls stop using those vulgar explicitives?
Anthony : hehehe...Kinda kewl isn't it?

Sunil: i don't remember when was the last time we met?
Anthony: You mean, Jab We Met??? hehehehe....

Sunil: Hmm. You seemed to developed a whacky sense of humour? watching too many awful movies, huh??
Anthony: (smiling) i think so. so tell me..why the fcuk...oops...why did u call me?

Sunil: Nothing special. Simply wanted to talk to you...its been a while i got in touch with people...since u have been my best friend before i got to know wot friendship is..thought of talking to u...
Anthony: Hmmmm...! oblivious! you still the same. Senti-Very-MENTAL! hehehe...

Sunil: Can't help! this is the way i am...but u seem to have changed a lot...
Anthony: Am I? cool...

Sunil: yeah. even since u went to do ur Degree in Mysore, you have changed a lot in those 4 years. Every time u came home for ur holidays, whether its for studying for your semester exams or for holidays, or for no reason, mom, as always, The Lady Sherlock Holmes, always felt a change in you. a new change everytime! i donno whether she was happy about it or not...but one this's for sure, she was apprehensive.
Anthony: Is it? i don't think so she was all the way apprehensive or not. i guess, she was just concerned about my health, studying, etc.


Sunil; Health? Are you joking? You have grown both horizontally and vertically, like the way Satish Shah looks in Comedy Circus!!
Anthony: Comedy Circus. Oh yeah. I love that show! Especially the host, Shruti Seth. She is very Sexy. Has got a great body and a cute smile. Would love to have her kind-of-girlfriend!


Sunil: Stop building castle in the air.(Talking To himself, Aakasha gopuram - the new Mohanlal movie! hehehe!!!) Anyways, the reason i called you up is, there is something going on with you. something strange. something unusual.something neither u nor i have felt before!

Anthony: We both feeling the SAME thing? who are you? a fcuking homo? stay away from me!

Sunil: (irritated) FCUK YOU!!! Guess you've fcukin forgotten me. AM YOUR FCUKING SOUL!!!! Some bastards came me intuition: some bitches call me 'Inner Voice' (To hell with them!).The shit inside your obese body u crazy Fcuk!! I've been fcuking dying to come out of you..its kind of stinking inside ur bald and broad filthy gutter like body...i donno wot i've become since the time i am in your body. a Soul, a sole (shoe sole) or an owl..who's been freaking day and night about this fcuking ugly thing which i donno wot to call nor whom to call for help.

Anthony: (perplexed) oh..oh..oh.....easy man.easy. E-A-S-Y. Take a deep breathe. 1, 2, 3, 4, ...

After several 'Breath-takings'
Sunil: Sorry. its not my territory to use these vulgaris...or should i call acne vulgaris??? (smirks!)
Anthony: Not bad dude...u too have my kind of whacky sense of humour! hmm...am impressed!

Sunil; Moron! I reside in you. obviously me 2 will have some of those traits! am just like that Tunga river which takes the form of anything u put me in. u color the water, its called colored water! u put me in a glass its called 'a glass of water', u construct a wall, a dam against me ..its dam water!!!

Anthony: DAMN IT! STOP!!! Fcuking... you have a bloody shitty sense of humour than i got. Bleemy!...that scares me...where am I?!

Sunil: Sorry. I apologize. I went a bit far too much. Anyways, the point of discussion is that, as we both know, that we are suffering from a strange feeling..kind of an alien which we never felt.

Anthony: Hmmm. I guess, it should be 'Quarter-Life' Crisis.

Sunil: A wot? wot in the name of Christ is that?
Anthony: Yeah. Its called 'Quarter-Life' Crisis. Just like 'Mid-Life' Crisis. Many people feel this kind of dejectory feeling.

Sunil: Please Explain!
Anthony: Not so long ago, in their late 30s or 40s people used to feel a bit awkwardness and confusion. Like they donno wot to do next.
They have been married or divorced, have great kids, great jobs. but SOMETHING inside them, they used to get this kind of feeling. Get up, Have breakfast, Go office, come back,play with kids, go to bed, have sex. Kind of monotonous life. In between, quarrel with your wife!!!...

Sunil: Hmmm...
Anthony: So, they come to a place where they have to decide in their mind, wot to do next, to re-assure themselves as to wot should be done next.

Sunil: Interesting.
Anthony: So, inorder to keep themselves happy, some decide to spice up their life, like have an extra marital affair, visiting pros, re-start an old hobby, change their profession and do something else which they have always wanted to do, go on a trip, etc.etc..etc...

Sunil: Go ahead.
Anthony: Now, due to various reasons like advancement in science and technology, especially IT, change in our lives and subsequently huge change in our life styles, this 'Mid Life Crisis' has gone one step backwards...and that's my friend is 'Quarter Life' Crisis. It occurs in people who are in their mid 20s to early 30s.

Sunil: So, NOW, no more 'Mid Life Crisis' for people in their late 30s or 40s or wotever?
Anthony: No dumbo. it still exists! Just that it has started taking its toll on people in their young age. Although i know that there is 'Teen-age' crisis, this doesn't have that much similarity like the above two have. In you teens, where do u have your responsibility? only bikes and babes...!u r like a fcuking free bird!!!...panchchi banu udhta phiroon mast gagan mein...

(coming back to his senses...)
So much for 'Advancement in Science and Technology'. For a 'Better' life. For a 'Better' World! seriously i think, life is becoming fcuking hell day by day.

Sunil: BINGO!!! this is wot our problem is.!!!
Anthony: u think so? u think that the crap 'thing' we are feeling is coz of this? this science and technology?

Sunil: No a$$hole...to answer you in your language...the 28th year crisis (at our current age). Wot to do next? whether to continue in the same profession we are in right now or to change it or ..,wot...i donno...
Anthony: I fcuking donno! i mean. i am "ENJOYING" my life...

Sunil: You call this enjoyment? Go office, gulp coffee, meet colleagues,gulp coffee, eat, gulp coffee, restroom, coffee, do NOTHING i mean NOTHING no work...come, chat, message, talk crap..is this wot u call enjoyment? i call this HELL...yes HELL....H.E.L.L.

Anthony: (irritated) fine.fine..fine...i will figure out wot to do. Soon.

Sunil: Soon? Soon is a relative word. When? i mean exactly WHEN?
Anthony: Fcuk you man... lemme think...i will do it ASAP.

Sunil: THINK? You shit head! you and think. Both run parallel to each other. You should take a cue from your friends and colleagues how much progess they have done in their lives..and you are still THINKING!!! Somebody please stab me!
Anthony: (a bit angry) so you think i should be jealous of them?

Sunil: No you dumb fcuk! taking a cue means getting inspiration. I am not saying you or as a matter of fact, we, are jealous. We are, for sure, happy for them. But We should be inspired to do good things. Improve ourselves in wot we do. To Be Good and DO good.

(raising his voice angrily) not like you, watch movies daily, blog(!), eat and sleep. in fact, DO NOTHING.

Anthony: (smirking) you know wot. Doing 'Nothing' is also doing something!!! hehehe.howzzzat???

Sunil: You Son of a Gun! i donno wot to say! even after so much talk, u'r still acting like the same fcuking shitty moron! May God Help You!!!
Anthony: Hehehe...u'r speaking my language...fine. let me sleep now..its too late. need to get up early tomorrow.

Sunil: Do wot? Do Nothing again? You bloody ...!
Anthony: Fine. Let me sleep.

Sunil: Wot sleep? Do Something man.. Right now!! Haven't u seen the IBM' ad, Stop Talking, Start Doing?
Anthony: I have. So wot? Let them. I will start tomorrow. You fcuking Souls, neither living nor dead, u don't sleep, eat, drink,shit, fcuk. But we humans DO!! So for Christ's sake, let me fcuking sleep. Please.

SUNIL: Fcuk you moron!!! fcuking wet dreams!!!
Anthony: THANKS. This's the best thing u've said to me till now. Thanx a fcuking ton!!!!

Blimey.....Potter Postponed!!!!

The sixth installment, Half-blood prince got postponed. Reason? I donno!!!

though i haven't read none of the potter-series novels, thanks to wikipedia, i read all the 7 part stories and i should admit it, i quite liked it!

and there was no way out, had to be a potter fan.

i was, as other potter-maniacs, was anxiously waiting for this 'Prince' film but was left disappointed when Warner Brothers 'decided' to postpone it to July'09 from Nov'08.

Nonetheless, i was quite surprised when i got to know that James and Lily Potter's son has fans even in the unlikely people!

Who??? u ask me? well...the Maverick Fuhrer, Hitler, Adolf Hilter.

It seems that the 'Charlie Chaplinish-moustache' man's craze for the 'lightening-scar' guy was so much that he was ready to attack the Warner Bro's studio!!!!

Also, it seems that Harry Potter Mania is one of the reasons for his eccentric and unscrupulous behaviour...wanna know how? check this out!!!

The New Dhoti

After the rains had their first round of batting for the evening, they took a 'tea break' and it was my time to have my dinner. Finished watching Matrix Revolutions on Zee Studio. Feeling a bit energetic and eclectic , along with my bro, I went to have my supper the previous day to the same old place and ordered a 'phulka curry' (Rs. 25). Just noticed (which i don't do on a normal day!) that most of the guys in the hotel were wearing jeans including me. including the hotel guys, the servers, guys preparing phulkas, rotis, etc.,

I guess, jeans should be the greatest import from the West. even a below average guy could afford this all-season-wear and tear...zero maintainence cost [ZMC] fabric....how i wish women too belonged to this ZMC group?!!!

yeah there is one more import for the present lot. the fone...not the pco-phone but the mobile phone (forget iphone at this point of time...even i don't want to have the Rs. 31,000 waste!. At Rs. 20K, it is ofcourse useful!!! hehehe...).
i believe, mobile phones gave a new dimension to the changing indian business segment since past few years...

coming to the jeans, i think, "Jeans is the new Dhoti!".... Dhoti - the quintessential "Indian Pride" garment since time immemorial has gradually lost its shine i believe. I am not making any historical statement but jsut observing the trend..the fashion sense...though i haven't worn one in my lifetime till now (lungi? yeah couple of times!!!. pls don't ask me the difference though)..just observing the trend in urban india...it (dhoti) still is the garment in the rural areas but i guess, that is changing...

imagine, Gandhiji in a jeans fighting for the stuggle! weird huh?!!!

i donno if this is good or not...but yeah...who can stop the change...the only thing which is constant!!!

My Debut Post!!!!

Even though i read a lot of crap about everything, i was just lazying around and thought i wouldn't take the plunge in this 'blog bandwagon' like every aamir(tom), salman(dick) and Big B (harry).

But couldn't help. Here i am.

Nothing more to say. Just watching The Matrix Revolutions - the third part in the Matrix series - currently on Zee Studio. I didn't like 3rd part as much as i enjoyed the 1st 2. Since the series is my favourite, so still watching!!!

Thats it for now...

p.s.:
Tom - aamir -the perfectionist - has a peeping habit into other artists' performances and thereby apologizing for the same.

Dick - salman - the bollywood braveheart - as per various media reports (no offence) and 'his'story with his gals, nobody knows from where does he think!

Harry - Big B - bollywood's Finest with a capital 'F' - has a 'lightening scar' similarity with J.K Rowling's Harry Potter character. Every bold and brave attempt has left a scar.

Heat this: Coolie (intestine injury), AgniPath (reRecording of voice), ABCL (films and Miss world organisation), Nishabd (hmmm!) and the latest 'Ramu Ki Aag' (need to say anything?!)


Ever wondered why SRK doesn't feature above? guess, he' busy getting k.kk.kkk....kiran right..or is it karan?!!! :)
