Teal talkies : Dilli-6

The caption of the movie goes - "The journey within".  This movie is about yet another NRI who finds his true calling in his mother land.  But Rakeysh could've thought of a better person to act in the lead. Abhishek's american accent is pathetic. That's right. Pathetic. 

Some parts of the movie are really good , and yes there is comedy in parts. I am not going to deny it. The lead starlets have proved yet again that lineage of fame alone doesnt suffice ... Dont know how much of a response this movie has got, though. The music is amazing. 

A.R.R , need I say more? 

But songs have gotten very less of a showcase in the movie , especially 'Genda Phool'. 

Watch out for Abhi's pesudo DJ dance steps for 'Genda Phool', which I found particularly hilarious. :-P

I think Rakeysh started off making a funny movie , then decided to bring in some sobriety into the storyline ... and hence the whole kaala bandar funda!

Ok am not going to provide any spoilers , you can go and watch this movie if you still want to.

It just makes for good time pass. 

And yes, a definite dissapointment after RDB, definitely.

Some funny pictures!

Just when I thought I would put these up in my wordpress blog , the wordpress server conspires against that thought and brings that post down to this page! So I am going to let these pictures speak for themselves :-D

You can find places like these only in non-metropolitan areas . . . this was taken in Kumbakonam, an emerging city in Tanjore District.

Cool DRINGS , Anyone?

Why would I want to taste a shop? I dont eat bricks mortar or furniture !!!

Of madness and moderation

I still remember the first few days of DSL in my home. My elder sister was abroad , so no one to fight with for the computer. I was the undisputed queen of the internet and my parents weren't much enthusiastic about the world wide web. In the pretext of doing ground work for my final year project, I had wasted what I can safely surmise as eons of what could have been a productive span of time. :-)

Of course, what all happened during the final year and the year afterward were eye openers of their own kind. And until a while ago, I thought I was totally addicted to the net. I remember installing the Opera mini in my dad's mobile and browsing away to glory until the new ISP sent home a technician rather quickly. But for the past 3 weeks I was out of action for many reasons - grueling work (there were times I'd be round the clock at office), the ISP's idiotic infrastructure and customer services , and 1 week long requiem to my native place.

I would not claim that the past week has been a spiritually enlightening expierience, but there is one thing I would proclaim.
There is nothing like turning off your cell phone and going off the internet for a span of atleast 2-3 weeks. Makes you feel all fresh and rejunivated :-D
I am also aware that one out of the 3-4 ppl who would be reading this entry would firmly disagree with this line of thought, but what the heck.

One of these days, I am gonna go on a longer vacation to an exotic destination, and god willing, it should bring as much peace and joy to me :-)
(I wouldn't mind if it turned out to be more peaceful and joyful either ;-)

For the "silent followers", yes , the blog entry on the Kumbakonam and Tanjore trip should be posted in a matter of 3 to 4 days.

No particular motive prompted this entry of mine. Just a fleeting thought over an infinitesimal moment , and perennial weekend vettiness :-)
