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!

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!

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 ;)
