Hungry - Try Bheja Fry!

Although this movie borrows most of the plot from the French movie, ‘Le Diner De Cons’… its still a must watch for Vinay Pathak. He is absolutely brilliant. I could have watched the movie on mute, because Vinay s expressions were enough to make me laugh.

I felt bad that the movie was short one, when it ended. I would love to watch it again.

As Bora righty pointed out… Vinay s character perfectly fits my description of Mr. Subodh!
4/5 movie for me!

Bike/Car and Money!

‘If you know bikes at all, you can tell a lot about a man by how he rides’ - This one is from ‘Shantaram’.
It got me thinking about people and their riding/driving habits and how to relate this with their attitude towards life and their personality and if this can become a business opportunity.

About biking style:
There r people who apply break little before the obvious need and they also try going into unseen gaps and later we realize how easily the gap was created when the vehicle passed through. They are the people with foresight and who rely on their intuition a lot.

People who maintain greater than normal distance between them and the vehicles ahead are the ones who have a very cautious approach towards things.

People who try to grab others space… cut lines and come in front of other vehicles and make them slow down… these r the people who don’t mind succeeding by pulling other people down.

People who consider driving at below a certain speed is below their dignity and speed is what trills them are the ones who live life in the ‘fast lane’.

People who modify their vehicle so that it produces sound like u r zooming 100+ when they r actually riding at 60 are the show-off types and they can do things for getting attention.

Money?
When there can be astrologers who see hands and janamkundlis to tell about people, palmists who read hands to tell people about what they r and what they will be and numerologists, who tell about people by knowing their date of birth etc. and make money out of it, even this - telling people about them by knowing there biking style should be a money spinner. And with experience we would b able to tell some future also… can guess what would be the likely happening (in future) for the people with a certain personality and type.

And Phase 2 can be to open a college where this art will b taught to interested people. I hope to cash in on the mob mentality we Indians have… once few people join the college and people start talking about it… I m sure many would b interested to join the course. And then branches all over… scope to grow is enormous…

So, the plan for now is to ride pillion with as many as many possible and the different they are from each other the better it will be!
