The Trip to Rajasthan…

I guess my trip started on 8th,in my room where my sister gave a presentation(with laptop,projector etc.) on how to travel safe…
-Don’t take your hand out of the window of the train/bus/camel…
-Don’t talk to strangers on the train/bus/camel…
-Make a list of all your belongings…detailed list
-Don’t make fun of the Pakistanis at the border…They might shoot you…
-Make sure you don’t lose your footwear in the train…etc.etc.
-Buy stuff for me from every shop in Rajasthan…heres the list(actually she handed me a book)You dont buy the stuff yourself,ask Rucha and Supriya to help.(Rucha and Supriya are girls in my class)

F.Y.I. my sister is 16 yrs old…

My sis’ presentation was followed,my mom’s presentation,followed by my dad…
After all these wise words,I guess I was ready for my trip to Rajasthan…

Long time no see??!

Its been a loooong time since I posted…The reasons for this delay are
1.Our BE(mech) trip to Rajasthan from 9th to 16th of march.
2.My computer was in the ICU…it used to restart whenever it wanted to…!Even today,after a lot of dawa-daru(more of dawa and less of daru),its not in the best of shape…
3.The college network is down(like tht reliance ad..always down,never up!)
4.Happy days are over,with only 4 weeks of college to go,profs are trying hard tht we dont feel sorry tht college life is over.

Well now I am back…I hope..

The Diary of…?

“Sorry Sir,but the flight is full…”,the lady over the counter said.

“Comeeon ma’am!I have to get on that flight,all my friends are on that plane.Please ma’am you have to let me onboard.”I said.

I guess she was abit amused by an asian talking to her in an
British-Canadian accent.But she took pity on me and granted me a seat next to the toilet.These are probably the worst seats in the plane.You can actually hear the sound of the flush every time someone does the dew!

By the way,there was still sometime for the flight to take off.I engaged myself in looking at pretty girls boarding the plane.What else do you expect from an engineer(I did my mechanical engg from Univ. of Warwick,UK).

There was this really pretty airhostess who caught my eye.At the training centre where I was for the last 3 months,there were no girls.Even the cooks there were male!

Then a good looking (Punjabi,I guess) girl boarded the flight.She was dressed in a white salwar.Indian girls are extremely attractive,I thought.

She came to me and said,”I guess you are on my seat…”
I sure was.”I..I..am sorry”,I muttered as I tried to shift to the adjacent seat.

I have seen many testosterone driven guys who go crazy at the thought of a pretty girl occupying the adjacent seat.But mate,its not like she was dying to sit beside you.Its just that the Indian Airlines guys gave that seat to her!

I tried to strike a conversation with her.
“Hi! So you got the toilet seat too?You must have checked in really late?”,I said.
“Yeah!Actually my grandma took ill suddenly .So I have to meet her in New Delhi”
“Oh,so you are going to Delhi?”
“Obviously! Thats where the flight is going,right?!”,she said,giving me the ‘duh?’ look.
“Dont be so sure…”,I said.
She looked at me,half jokingly,half suspiciously.

I guess the height(33000 feet above sea level)was affecting the flow of blood to my brain.The last sentence that I said could have spoiled ‘The flight of the millenium‘.I was feeling giddy.I always feel giddy at heights.All this even after I got my CPL(Commercial Pilot’s License)just 4
months ago.
I got my CPL from Canada.The course requires 500 hrs of flying in 8 months.This was before I joined the Training Centre.

“Veg or Non-veg?”,the airhostess asked.(The same one who had caught my eye)

“Veg.”,I said.I guess I was too bored with the non-veg fare they served at the Training Centre.

“Are you alright?”,the girl who was seated beside me asked.I think her name was Trupti,because she had a pen on which the words TRUPTI were inscribed.

“Yeah,why?”I asked.

“You seem to be uncomfortable.Why are you looking at your watch all the time?”,she asked.

“You will know at 4:53!”,I said.

“What will happen at 4:53?”

“You will see!!”

Now it was her turn to be uncomfortable.

My casio sounded the alarm at 4:53.My Friends got up from their respective seats.Shahid(doctor) got up from 15B,Sunny Ahmed(Burger) from 5C,Mistri Ibrahim(Bhola) from 16C,Shakir(Shankar)from 12A and I got up from my seat at 28C.I removed the monkey cap from my pocket and put it on.I took out a knife from my sock and waved it in the air

“Stay calm! Everybody place your head between your knees…Your plane has been HIJACKED.Next stop-Kandhar!”

PS-
*The Training Centre that I was talking about is in Islamabad,Pakistan.
**I had acquired the CPL so that I could fly IC814 to Kandhar(just in case)….
**The names doctor,burger,Bhola,shankar were code words we used instead of names
***And yes, I forgot to add,my name is Ibrahim Akhtar(chief)

Zombie,zombie,zombie…. 

This song is just going on and on in my head.
Do yourself a favour-buy the CD(if u havent already)
Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it’s not me, it’s not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying…

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What’s in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou…

Another mother’s breakin’,
Heart is taking over.
When the vi’lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It’s the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they’re still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying…

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What’s in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a…

Pulp Fiction…

Pulp Fiction

Warning…This is a post not many might like…But what the heck,its my blog and I can speak my mind

Ok..I do agree tht I am no art connoisseur and maybe I dont understand the complexity of film-making,or maybe I am used to conventional form of narration….maybe….But thts not gonna prevent me from blasting this movie PULP FICTION…The movie sucked…big time…

I am after tht Tarantino guy who directed(co-wrote…bloody idiot) tht bloody movie…. He wasted 2 hrs of my life…Had I been a law student I wud have had sued him for losses amounting to atleast 125 rupees(I could ask for more) for causing brain damage.I am also after travolta,samuel jackson,uma thurman,bruce willis(a perfect eg of naam bade aur darshan chote!)

The movie is a black comedy directed in a highly stylized manner and employing many pop culture touches, Pulp Fiction weaves through the intersecting storylines of Los Angeles gangsters, fringe characters, petty thieves, and a mysterious attache case.-Wikipedia

I guess Tarantino himself wrote this review,then he himself got PF nominated for academy awards,and then himself voted for the movie and won….What I dont like is the fact tht it doesnt make sense….the stories are disjointed,the actors are disoriented,the viewers are stupid…tht includes me too. But I watched it coz IMDB voted it as one of the better movies….also my friends and cousins created the much needed hype…I really regret watching the movie…

On a pleasent note…for all you guys who watched the movie and liked it maybe you should watch CRASH….you will really like it or even better watch this Indian movie(its in english) Flavours probably the best of the lot as far as narration goes…

I just played my natural game!

Have you wondered how many times you must have heard this line from the man of the match…Well the man who invented this line is a genius! I guess you know who it is…arrey,its our own Tendlya!

I will tell you what happened…sachin used to win so many man-of-the-match awards tht he had nothin new to say! Also the mans got a really bad vocab..
Thts when “The line” came into existence!…If the presenter is boring you just say “I just played my natural game”,the presenter gets the hint!

But now its someone else who seems to be using this line like its his own jaagir! You guessed it right! Its apna doodh-loving delhi boy –Sehwag!

I will tell you what happened…When Sehwag was on a roll,winning MOM awards(man of the match,duh!)left,right and center and his angreezi being a bit kacchi,he turned to sachin for help with Ravi shashtri’s mundane questions!

Sehwag: Sirjee,aap itne acchi angrezzi kaise bol lette hain?? mujhe bhi sikhaiye na…
Sachin:Aiala!Its easy re! Ravi shastri bore karta rahegaa na,toh bol deneka..”I just played my natural game“..Woh chup baith jaayega!
Sehwag: But sirjee,yeh trick kaam karegi??!
Sachin: Abbe mein pechle 16 saal se yehi bol raha hoon!!

According to sources,sachin has helped Inzy with his english too!(Actually he has helped many boys in the Pak side)

The next time Sachin,sehwag or Inzy wins a MOM award watch out for this line!And watch how Shastri cuts the interview short!

Of gujjus, colours and Holi

Holi cow! Holi is tomorrow and I havent yet shopped for any colours…Talking of colours,I think gujjus neednt buy any colours,coz they already are so colourful! You see,I got about 10 gujjus in my class,all of them colourful..But here I would like to mention only two of them…The first one would be Siddharth Ashara(bhai).You can read about himin my past posts(just search for -In love with sid ashara)

Well bhai,is one of the colourful guys you will ever to see! The spects keep changing according to the latest fashions.Right now it is thick and black,like amitabh’s in KanK(sexy sam remember?)…His Cell phone models change as frequently as Aamir changes his hairstyles! Has a wardrobe full of colours like red,blue,green,yellow!

However the most colourful,the one who takes the cake here and eats it too is Mr.Suril Shah! For starters he has a PURPLE(?) Pulsar with his name printed across it!!. He is a legend when it comes colourfulness…There are
stories about him having yellow shoes(personally I dont think it is true..).Shirts in all colours from pink to green!He has even tried a blonde streaks in his hair…The only other Indian guy I know who used blonde streaks in his hair is…er…umm…no one! Suril is the only guy who could
pull it off!Pretty normal for a guy whose favourite actress is Amisha Patel!
The whole point of this posts is that my friends are so colourful normally,I wonder how they look on Holi! I remember after last years holi,Sid’s face had different hues of red for about a month! What colours do they use there
in Charni Road(Sid’s home)-Asian Paints??

P.S-Gala would wanna feature on the list,but sorry mate,Suril is a tough contender!
Pushkar wouldnt even qualify…He is too sombre…
Jags,vishal,Abhal,Sahil better luck next time!

Another P.S.-The above post is to be taken sportingly…

They got cams installed for sure!

They did it again…! I am cocksure about the fact tht MSEB guys have cams installed inside my house.I am also getting the feeling tht they also read my blog,and in all probability dont like what I write about them.So they have decided to teach me a lesson by cutting off my area’s power for about 8 hours(yeah 8 hrs,thts not a printing mistake).All this
inspite of staying in mumbai(Mulund is officially within mumbai limits).We had some dreams of becoming Shangai,remember?…You got it all wrong Mr.Deshmukh..How about becoming Sangli? Tht looks positively possible! What say? They got cams installed for sure!SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

The besties

I am in such a good mood tht even a 8 hr power cut cant dampen my spirits…The last 6 days were probably the best days of my engg life…
Here is a brief account of how(or why) I was busy without any work…
Monday:We played cricket all day…Box cricket actually, coz the Bhavans ground was hosting some cricket tournament.So the volleyball court was reborn as mini-wankhede oval..
Tuesday:Bunked the lectures,surfed the net all day!
Wednesday:Box cricket..Again! No wonder my sister finds me two shades darker than I actually was…

SPACE 07….the last one…

All three days were a lot of fun at SPACE…The best being(after a lot of consideration)the last day…
Following chronological order,the first day started with
elims(eliminations,duh!)with people like me getting eliminated in every event…I guess these elims are arranged so tht people like me know tht they are good for nothing(like I never knew!)
Well I did make it through the elims once,for the event..Ignoble ads..where we had to demote the products instead of promoting them!
Visual Impact followed after 6pm officially(7.30 unofficially)…
Second day was fun too,with Casino Royale being our favourite.There was a casino set-up in one of the drawing rooms,with gambling going full-on!Didnt win even after cheating!But did win in a game called code-venture!
Third day was the best coz I did what I normally wouldnt
do….dance!There were these FE girls with us,who seemed pretty interested(in the dance that is!).Learnt a few Salsa moves(the event is called Ballroom dancing).The choreo was really cool,making fun of everyone including himself…
The last event was the Rock Show…lot of headbanging…lot of weird looking guys..lot of second hand smoke…But tht was still fun coz most of my group was there…Navin,Kunal,Siddhant,Umesh and Arshat(thts
me).Also Harish was there(one of my oldies).Two FE girls tht I mentioned earlier are Shruti and Poonam who blended in as if they’d been with us from ages.I guess their bubbly innocence had a lot to do with these three days being so much fun!
And guess who sponsored the event? Its my employer…SIEMENS! SPACE 07….the last one…SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

There is GOLD at mulund!

Yes! There is gold at mulund! All the gold is deep inside the ground…

Actually,mulund was a site proposed for a gold mine back in 1919 by a good British soul(like tht British guy in tht Aamir movie-Mangal Pande) .But this proposal was rejected by a not-so-good-British-soul(like tht British guy in tht Aamir movie-Lagaan)…(Aamir has proably worked with more foreign actors than Gulshan grover,Naseruddin shah and Om puri combined)

Back to the topic…Well,this secret lay deep down the files in some govt. office till 2002…when some BMC guy found it!!!(What was theBMC guy doing in the office??working?? strange!)

The secret was out! Everybody in the BMC knows this fact!But I bet you didnt!

After this secret was known to these BMC guys, they started digging MULUND…! Left,right and centre…!I guess they were finding success(read gold!)in MULUND,coz their attempts at digging continued..They dug the pavements,the road,the footpath….,they dug everything! Sometimes they redug the same place they had dug just days ago!

You must be thinking - why the heck dont they tell this to the general public?? Well,the reason for this is tht they dont want every Tom, Dick and Patil to come with spades and start digging the pavements(actually,they dont want to share the booty)

Also not all of the general public is unaware…Some builders and developers have access to this info! What else can explain two MALLS tht have sprung up…What can explain INDIA’s largest 5 star thts gonna come up here…Alot of digging activity goes on near these malls too…

They say mulund is centrally located,has a lot of greenery,blah-blah-blah! Like I dont know!

You still dont believe me?? Why dont u pick up a spade and start digging?? Who knows,You might just get LUCKY!!!

Games people play!

I bought a inverter yesterday….Yeah,had to shell out Rs.14000. So now I have 24 hrs power supply…If you dont know how much I love MSEB people,please read it here

Now I dont have to worry about the games tht MSEB guys play right? Wrong! They must have cameras installed in my house I guess…coz they didnt cut the power today!!?

I buy a new inverter and there are no more power cuts??This cant be happening…Why have they singled me out?? Why is this happening to me?

It may sound stupid tht I am opposing the fact tht there was no pow cut today…but actually I am opposing the fact that they play games with our brains…

Traffic Signal


Saw traffic signal with a different bunch of friends yesterday!
Ameya,Bohite,Akshay(the coolest of all),Suril(the most colourful of all),Hitesh and myself set on a voyage to watch this movie...I call it a voyage coz of the travelling we had to do!We must have checked all multiplexes of andheri,I guess...
The prices tht these multiplexes quote are absurd to say the least!
After paying a visit to Fun,Fame and cinemax(andheri),we finally settled for cinemax(goregaon).Thts a good half an hour frm Andheri..The rates were exciting,60/- only!(However,the lack of legroom killed the excitement)

Now about the movie-The first half is gripping.There are about 85 characters(And we were cursing salaam-e-ishq),all fighting for some reel time!What you get is a medley of sorts and u cant make the head or tail of it.
However you tend to believe tht the characters will get connected in some manner in the 2nd half and tht keeps you interested...

The dialogues are really interesting...actually the dialogues r the only saving grace of the movie!The rawness tht is so characteristic of bhandarkar is always there!Bcoz of this rawness,what u get is raw,half-baked characters...

After the movie,you come out searching for a story and an ending..
Corporate had an unfinished ending too,but most of us bought tht coz the story was so damn intresting...Here there is no story,U cant just make a movie based on performances.On the topic of performances,Khemu rocks!
Tht new girl who gets a lot of footage on BT is OK..Sudhir mishra should stick to directing or whatever he does...(makes the character of don seem comic!)
All-in-all, a so-so movie,mainly becoz of the high stds set by bhandarkar himself!
Dont expect a corporate and you will come out happy!

[P.S.-Saw Rajpal Yadav at cinemax,is pretty chilled out!
Also wud like to add tht I was the pillon rider on Suril's Pulsar...
He abuses his bike!I mean,the liberal use of accl and braking is bound to f*** the engine!We even raced a Merc S-class and won!It was thrilling!However,the next time I wanna be less thrilled and more alive!] Traffic SignalSocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

The Good Life continues@JUHU beach

This visit to Juhu was prompted by the fantastic show by our gang at sem 7 results...Almost all the guys in our gang managed to get a DISTINCTION results,with Umesh Koli's 73% providing the Icing on an already delicious cake...Umesh overperformed will be an understatement considering his previous best of 66%...
Back to the topic,after the results were announced,I suggested tht we celebrate by enjoying some bhelpuri(at Umesh's expense ofcourse) at JUHU...Everybody(obviously!) agreed...

Let me give u a insight on our gang! It consists of 9 guys...Chetan,umesh,deepak,navin,Kunal,siddhant,hemant,Vishal & above all(heh heh!) me!

All 9 of us got into ricks to reach there.The actual fun started once we were there...After enjoying the scenic beauty for a while,Navin got this brainwave of enjoying the beautiful blue(beautiful and blue here are relative terms!) waters of JUHU. He took his shirt off,folded his jeans and ran into the water..!?@#. This is pretty normal behaviour as far as Navin is concerned.Next instant he was splashing water on everyone...Kunal was his first victim!
Kunal and Navin(now on the same team)then took umesh...
After umesh was taken,an unbeatable trio of Umesh-Navin-Kunal was formed....
With moments they ransacked all the remaining 6 guys,and the next thing we knew,we were splashing water on each other...
After 2 hours of playing in the water,it was time for some pet-puja...Umesh treated us to ragda puri , a dish which is relatively unknown!
After enjoying our hearts out, it was time to head homewards...
I brought home a lot of sand! There was sand in my shoes,my jeans,and some other places which cannot be discussed on this blog...lol

Arshat has found the way!

Yeah! I have found the way!
The way to stop the war tht might take place between India and Pakistan! Since both these countries have nuclear war heads,the losses could be enormous...
The answer to all this-DOG FIGHT!
Yeah,DOG FIGHT...


Both sides would be given five years to breed the best fighting dog in the world and whichever side's dog won would be entitled to rule KASHMIR. The losing side would have to lay down its arms.

The Pakistanis found the biggest, meanest Doberman and Rottweiler ------- in the world and bred them with the biggest meanest Himalayan wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy from each litter, killed his siblings, and gave him all the milk. They used steroids and trainers and after five years came up with the biggest meanest dog the world had ever seen. Its cage needed steel bars that were three inches thick and nobody could get near it.

When the day came for the fight, the Indians showed up with a strange animal. It was a nine-foot long Dachshund. Everyone felt sorry for the Indians because they knew there was no way that this dog could possibly last ten seconds with the Pakistani dog.

When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out and wrapped itself around the outside of the ring. It had the Pakistani dog almost completely surrounded. When the Pakistani dog leaned over to bite the Dachshund's neck, the Dachshund reached out and consumed the Pakistani dog in one bite. There was nothing left at all of the Pakistani dog.

The Pakistanis came up to the Indians, shaking their heads in disbelief. `We don't understand how this could have happened. We had our best people working for five years with the meanest Doberman and Rottweiler ------- in the world and the biggest, meanest Himalayan wolves."

"That's nothing," an Indian replied. "We had our best plastic surgeons working for five years to make an ALLIGATOR look like a Dachshund."

Nostalgia!

Last few weeks have been the best weeks of my college life!
There may be many reasons for this new found enthusiasm in my life...
The most profound reason,I think,is the fact tht this is my last sem at SP...
After few weeks(12 to be precise)there will be no lectures...After about 17
weeks I would get my degree...B.E.(mech).
Seems like yesterday when I got admitted to SPCE.I remember the date too-20
oct 2003!

It was the 5th(last) round of admissions.I took the second-last seat(Hitesh
Joshi took the last of SP mech).I remember cracking jokes to lighten the
mood.Sid Ashara(he took the 3rd last seat) seemed indifferent to those
jokes,proably coz they were 'silly' as compared to his level!
I remember asking him wether he was a merit ranker coz he had a stiff upper
lip.I also felt that he was of the serious types!

I bonded better with sid than Hitesh inspite of the fact tht I n Hitesh knew each other for the last one month.

The next day,Sid reached coll before me(actually everyone reaches before
me...I m always late),I saw him sitting on the first bench! "God! this dude
is really sincere," I thought to myself!

I cudnt be wronger(if there is a word like tht)...Next day he shifted to the second bench,then to the third!Kept shifting till we reached the last bench!
Tht last bench became our fav place..We liked the last bench more than we
liked the canteen..

I never really liked coll...U dont like coll when u hav to travel 4 hrs
everyday.The lectures,assignments,tutorials etc.make sure you curb your
enthusiasm...
The lectures were kinda funny though,Sid cracking jokes at every lecturers
expense..!
I believe tht 20yrs from now,I am still going to remember these pieces of
Nostalgia!


Life is full of experiences,isnt it? Good or Bad they add on to your
nostalgia,slowly but surely! Nostalgia!SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

Salaam-e-Ishq


Before u get the feelin tht i m a movie maniac,let me tell u the state of affairs I m in!
I have rented a 1 BHK flat in andheri...All this to reduce the travelling time....But this amounts to no Tv(coz theres no TV at the flat)!
For a self confessed TV(read sitcoms) freak this is not exactly Neverland!.
How,then,do I vent out my frustation when I come home(thts every fri-sat-sun)..By watching loads of TV right? Wrong!!

My sis is in the 12th,there seems some unwritten rule in my house tht whenever theres a board exam,the cable will be dissconnected...So its no cable for me for the last 6 months...

I can only go for movies...So here I am watching movies,left,right and centre...

Yesterday it was Salaam-e-Ishq...
Big names,Bigger starcast...
Instead of telling u who was in the movie,I think it would be easier to mention those who wasnt there..here goes..

SRK was not there,Preity was busy sweeping Bandra so she wasnt there,Rani,Aamir,Hritik werent there,Sanjubaba,ash,John..oh wait,I think John was there...

51/2 love stories(1/2 coz sohail-Isha story cant be counting as 1)...One ending(thank god!)

The best performances come from unexpected shores(literally..South Africa in this case)..(Shannon Esra is from SA)

The Govinda-Shannon Esra(the gori mem in the mov.. ) track could have been developed into a seperate movie...Shannon is proably the best foreign actor to have acted in Bolly(if u dont count manisha koirala as foreign)

Khanna did what he does best...ie flash his awkward smile.How does he smile like tht?
Ayesha is her usual cuteself...

Anil and Juhi did not try much...
Salman and Priyanka overtried...Sallubhai has an accent even while he speaks Hindi?! (Rahul becomes-Raool..what the @#$!)

John and vidya cry..John cries in the first half(and in the second half).Vidya cries in the second half only(coz she is in comma in the 1st
half)

Did I miss someone??

I dont think so!

Oh yeah there is Tinu Anand as priyanka's manager..n Karan Johar's voiceover is also there..

And,ofcourse there is sohail-isha pair(I almost forgot!)They provide some much needed comic relief..

MY VERDICT: Atleast one story will appeal to you...
Its best if u watch it with your group of friends...
Note tht your group should consists of 6 guys...Even 5 guys will do(coz sohail is non existent) Also the ages of the guys should vary...like->25,31,33,40,46...I suggest u wait till u find a group like this!!

[PS:I get the feeling tht is movie is copied from DARNA MANA HAI(rem?),6 stories 1 ending...Salman-priyanka track also seems copied
frm DMH(coz its a nightmare)] Salaam-e-IshqSocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

Arshat chaudhary and the curse of the theif!(corny!)

This post is for the people who do not believe in curse! I was one of them...
So this is how it goes...
On 26/7/2006,I set out to conquer(read travel) the local trains.I do this everyday of college,so this is not new.But tht fateful day i travelled in the second class compartment instead of the usual first class...This change of mind was brought about due to the expiry of my 1st class pass...
Also the 2nd class seemed fairly empty(empty,here is a relative term).But then,in a flash,out of nowhere, a group of 15 people mobbed me as I was trying to get in the compartment...
When I got in,i realised tht my 6630 was missing/stolen.This piece costs a good 12000 rupees.So u can understand the situation I was in...

Before i turn to the scary part,let me introduce u to my BE project group-
Deepak,chetan gosavi(have already posted bout his anctics),umesh(will be posting bout his anctics),and me.

I was the butt of all the jokes tht week(as is the norm),with chetan and umesh leading the charge!Little did they know what fate had in store for them.

2 months ago Chetan's mobile was stolen in a style similar to mine!
2 weeks ago umesh's mp4 player and his wallet got stolen under mysterious circumstances...(note tht all the materials were stolen and not lost!)

The only guy now left untouched by this curse is Deepak(the fourth member of our group).I guess he is already feeling the heat! I m sure he is acting extra careful while travelling!

Also note tht 26/7/2005 was the day when half of mumbai was under water(subject of a seperate post)[As would say"AIN'T SCARED YET??"]

[P.S. Either this is scary or I have really careless friends] Arshat chaudhary and the curse of the theif!(corny!)SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

GURU @ Mulund

This is not a repost...I saw guru yesterday(for the second time)...Its not tht i am a mani fan or anything..Its just tht my family hadnt seen the mov and I had nothing else to do! I just went there for the heck of it.
What makes guru so gripping and realistic,is the use of Hand held Camera(pls note)
And guess what? I still cudnt make sense of the songs!! AR rahman tried his best to make a string of (meaningless)words sound melodious,but Gulzarji screwed him up!
How cud u use the words"yeole yeole re yeole yeole oo" in a hindi song?
However there is one gazal in this movie which really seduces the senses...now this is the sort of stuff Gulzar is good in!
Maniji,if u stick to Gulzar...make sure Gulzar sticks to urdu!

On the subject of songs,try this song-"Welcome to India"-by ludakrishnan and vikram MC u will ROTFL GURU @ MulundSocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
