How to judge a movie? For me it is based on the 2-3 hrs I spend watching the movie. Although few impractical things were there in this movie but I liked it because it entertained me for the 3 hrs.

The movie had style and that’s another reason I liked it. Not like I don’t like the movies which are simple, but as i have mentioned it’s the 3 hrs that matters… so if a movie is stylish the chances of my enjoying the movie are more.

This one had two cute kids and they were brilliant for their part. I have always liked Saif doing such roles… where he s little careless types. And there was Shruti Seth also, although for a very small role. I hope she becomes a mainstream heroine soon.

I enjoyed the Disney song also.

But JJ in that gujju role was just not happening. JJ talks in gujju and tries to be funny but it was not funny for me... the director got this one wrong


Another point which I have noted most of the times (in movies, novels and even in real life) and in this movie again – ‘A woman always believes that nothing is impossible for the man she loves’

3/5 movie for me!

Dream…Story

I was all alone and it was evening time. I decided to go for a stroll. I put on music on my mobile (using earphones) while I was on the move, was listening to some nirvana. I got so engrossed in the music that I never realized when I went to my ‘own world’… where I was negotiating to sell the world (this ones the actual world and not ‘my world’ :) ), inspired by the song I was listening to - ‘the man who sold the world’. Just at that moment I felt a sudden push… I saw a truck coming full speed my way… and with that push I was down on the road but the truck missed me… guess the truck driver didn’t like the idea of selling the world so he wanted me dead… he would have known that I was dreaming about it and would have been a believer of dreams coming true

I got up on my feet and saw a female smiling at me. And I realized that she was the one who had pushed me… maybe even she knew about ‘my world’ and she wanted me to do the selling, that’s why she saved me. I walked to her to say ‘thank you’ but as I came closer to her I could say nothing… I got lost in her beautiful eyes and was transported to ‘my world’ again… the music was still on and the song playing was ‘come as u are’ and when I opened my mouth, this is wat I said –

‘Come as u are, as u were, as I want u to be’

And she started smiling harder and I realized what I was doing and removed the earphones. Disaster management is something… i told her I was just shaken up by the whole thing and thanked her. I asked her if she was free so that I could get her some coffee… I wanted to spend some time with her because she was my savior, my guardian angel and mainly because I didn’t want her to go away from my eyes. She said she was waiting for someone… I managed to convince her to come to the coffee shop nearby so that she could look out and she would know that the person she was waiting for has come.

She was browsing through the menu card and I was looking into her eyes…

And then she suddenly got up and ruffled my hair and said… I like u… It was so easy for her to say what I was thinking of telling her from the moment I saw her… but then she told me the person she was waiting for had come and she had to leave… so I said good bye. I forgot to ask her name… I followed her, caught up with her and asked what her name was and when could I meet her next… and before she could answer... my mom woke me up.


Maybe I would dream of her again or I would dream of selling the world again and my guardian angel would turn up and this time the first thing I ask her will be her name :)

This one s inspired by one of the dreams I got recently and I vaguely remembered… normally I don’t get dreams or maybe I don’t remember them!

Paraskavedekatriaphobia

Fear of Friday the 13th. Some say that it’s the unluckiest day of all.
And anything bad happens on this day we blame it on it being Friday the 13th and the same thing if it happens on some other day, it’s just another thing.

Is Friday the 13th unlucky? It could be or it could not be… It’s all in the mind :)

Lets see how today goes ;)

Its gettin interesting!

Now that Chelsea is only 3 points behind ManU, the EPL is becoming very interesting... and the Chelsea-ManU match wil b a must watch on 9th May :)
Ferdinand must b lookin for some well to jump, his own goal has made the race for the title open ;)

I want to drift!

Will this post b long or Small... dont know... i want to drift as i write...

I want to live the life of uncertainties for some time... although i dont know why, but i want to do exactly that... I just want to drift with my life :)

I know where my life is heading and i also know where i want it to go... but for now i just want to drift!

Now with this seasons gettin-into-B-school try over... Knowing it was my only chance this yr, i should have prepared...but i just drifted :)
few things have to change... And one such thing is tht i m quittin my current job :)
I wantedly told them about my resignation immediately after my only b-school interview... i had the motive of socking ppl and i did succeed in tht bcos i used to get the let-the-result-come look from ppl who used to wonder if i was tht confident of getting through... haha
Now, it wil b interesting to see if i get the tought-u-would-not-make-it look :) or if their attitute changes and they think i m inferior to them bcos i wil not have a job soon... ;)

Wat to do next?
I have a few ideas but for time being:
I wil do bujines :)... i had always wanted to, pbbly not right now but after 4-5 year s time... but since i let my life drift and it has got me to a situation where i will start doing bujines soon :)

Few Qs that i always asked myself and got the same answer -
Why do 'MBA'?
I used be in awe with the way they talked and with the way they carried themselves. Maybe a few ppl r inborn like tht and i met these few ppl and not all MBAs r like tht. And with so many
B schools and with so many MBAs comin out of these every year... i m sure i would not b impressed by everyone of them but definitely by a few and i wanted to become like them...
and why m i writing this here... i m just drifting

Why i joined software industry?
One of the reasons being... i wanted to know what was the reason that most of the public was joining this industry... obviously money and job availablity was thr... but i wanted to see how things work in here and for tht i gave in 2 years... Some would say not a smart decision... but wat the hell its my career and i know where i want to b 5 years from now and i have my own plans to get thr... thats another interview Q ;)

And as always i decided to work smart and leave the rest to almighty. :)

P.S. I beleive in both God and Satan

Live on Grass!

Heard this on radio city -

A Lawyer was on his way back home from work, saw a guy eating grass on the side of the road...
He offered that guy to come with him to his home... The guy who was eating grass told the lawyer that he has a wife and five kids
Lawyer said he can get them along.
The grass guy says 'Sir u r so kind'
Lawyer says "It is ok. The lawn has not been moved for over a month" ...haha

But... Humor... is it?
