Alright every action movie I watch, more or less I like it; and when it is a science fiction-space odyssey with fast paced action with adventure then you can expect what my reaction will be on watching it. Yesterday finally I watched Star Trek and I enjoyed the screening. Continue reading “Star Trek”

Doomsday!!!
I don’t know when the current dispute between the producers and the multiplexes will end. And until it is on, you have no other option but to go and watch movies about which you are totally clueless. If you have avoided them in the first week then you have no other option in second but to go and watch them. After fighting a long lost battle I finally gave up and watched ‘Doomsday’ yesterday. Continue reading “Doomsday!!!”
My Sassy Girl
The original My Sassy Girl movie is a Korean flick, from where the English version is inspired; but am not sure if the Hindi version ‘Ugly aur Pugly’ is inspired from Korean or English. Am also not sure why they decided to release it now [originally it released in June 2008] in India. Continue reading “My Sassy Girl”
HYPOCRITES
I have come across so many people who are hypocrites.What makes a person become a hypocrite?I am sure there are many people who have come across at least seven to nine people who are hypocrites.I want to know what is it that makes a person become a hypocrite?Is it natural for some people to have a dual nature?Or is it something that develops due to an inferiority complex ? What? Continue reading “HYPOCRITES”
Always smile; It increases your face value!!!
Always smile; it increases your face value! Every now and then I come across this phrase at various places; especially in form of poster on walls of friend’s rooms, doctor’s clinic, some teachers ‘chamber’, staff rooms and many more. Continue reading “Always smile; It increases your face value!!!”
Am Back!!!
It’s been some time since my last post. This is not the first time it has happened. From time to time I have taken considerable amount of breaks from writing; nothing new in it. But this time the break was not because of any writer’s bloc or on pretext of self introspection of my writing skills. Past few days proved to be busy and despite of having few things to write about, I was not able to do so [no I was not having my exams; am never busy during exams]. Continue reading “Am Back!!!”
No Sense Ain’t Non Sense!!!
I am always excited about the comments and feedbacks about my post. Every time I write a new one, for the first 3 days [opening weekend] I keenly anticipate special remarks, comments or criticism [you know something like my phone ringing non stop; people congratulating me on the post; site’s server getting down due to heavy traffic, people killing to read the new post and stuff like that]. But [to my dismay and God knows whose delight] it never happen.
Aur Suna!!!
Roti once told me, talking on phone is not a hobby but an addiction; I take his word for it. When I see people glued to their mobile phones for hours, I wonder what exactly they talk about. Am totally clueless, what matters are being discussed on daily basis atleast once in a day, many times twice or even thrice. They must be discussing some serious business, matters of life and death that’s for sure [they must be; people actually miss lecture after lecture to discuss them]. Perhaps solution to the Indo-Pak dispute, or analyzing how Obama won [we got an assignment on Obama; rumor is our DG is writing a book on him and to ease things for himself he gave this assignment to 900 students].
Outlander. . .
When I go to watch these Hollywood movies alongwith some friend [whom I always have to pursue till death to come] I pray to God it turns out to be a good one [so that I’ve readily available partner next time] but my prayers are seldom heard. And this week it is the second time they are rejected. If bedtime stories alone was not sufficient to satisfy never dying hunger of bad movies then this week’s ‘Outlander’ might just do the trick.
Bedtime Stories!!!
You don’t mess with the Zohan, was the last Adam Sandler movie I saw; the movie was fun but it lacked the feel good Sandler factor. Bedtime stories have that feel good Sandler factor, but it is not that much fun to watch.
B-Schools and Lappy’s
When I first get to know about the B school culture I was in eleventh standard [that was around the end of 2002] and I was amused to know that IIPM was giving a free laptop to every student. Thought of a student carrying personal laptop was astonishing [as in my opinion then, only successful professionals and doctors carried one. Dad got his first in October 2002 and my maternal uncle is an IT entrepreneur]. I never understood what these ‘would be’ managers will be doing with theirs?
The Great Writer’s Bloc
Well, Here i am sitting in front of my wide screen Samsung monitor, logged into my Editor account at Zhagdoo. Thinking that do i deserve to be an editor? no post for almost a year “My last was dated 9 February 2008” Talking about then hot issue Racism. Go give it a read Are Indians Racist.

gift
Life is like a roller coaster.u sit in it and see the world differently from different angles.When its smooth u feel as if its going great and u enjoy it, but the moment it takes turns,u feel life’s going haywire and get scared.you want that moment to disappear , to let things come back to their normal self.But it takes time…it takes time for the coaster to come back to its position or should i say for the life to get eased up.the most important aspect of it is to remember the law of gravity; whatever goes up comes down.Likewise our life is also full of up and down swings.We need to be patient and persistent in our actions , without letting go of our faith in god, and believe me ;things do take shape.
We should be ready to accept troubles and happiness with the same ease and pleasure.at times I used to feel what is the purpose of living.And one day i realised that since god chose us to become human beings and gave this beautiful gift called life to us, he thinks that u r the Chosen one! so we must take extra care of this pure,delicate and precious gift gifted to us by the Almighty.
In the end I would just like to thank god for bringing me into this beautiful(ok a real bad) world and giving me the realtionships i treasure.
The 6 to 9 show. . .
I guess the timing for this post can’t be any better. In the New Year post we talked about drinking, so let us continue it in this first 6 to 9 show of the year 2009. I won’t be talking about the place where I am sitting right now, as it is not about it or its ambience; but about the people in front of me.
I Love Delhi. . .
Some one has rightly said,”It is easier to criticize a thousand things than to appreciate a single thing”, and this adage is more than proved when people are asked for their opinion(s) about Delhi. Their responses range from lambasting the city on its unsafe conditions, to (de)crediting it with being the crime capital of India, from ridiculing it for being an epitome of Red Tapism and bureaucratic delays, to publicizing its maximum rudeness quotient and severe lack of patience amongst its denizens and finally from predicting its explosion on account of its crumbling infrastructure to impugning its people for their devil-may-care attitude! Indeed, but isn’t this true of other cities as well? Then why blame Delhi?
