In His Majesty's secret service!

On a welcome note, India wins The World Cup 2011, and like all other Indians, am here having a sleepless night, more or less for the same reason. What's that got to do with A Welcome note? Wondering? The answer lies in the previous blogs. I've realized One thing for sure, that I can never be sure. As confusing as it might sound, I can never ever decide on the topic, and the title. That's the worst nightmare! There has to be a lot of effort and wit involved, which obviously would not come if You write it out of boredom. So, I am trying to work on an interesting format for future posts, that is if I feel it worked for this, Sub-posts in one post. Let's try:

World Cup 2011
India is a very rich-cultured country, and am a seeker. Popularly known as "Fool". Nevertheless, that doesn't stop Me from always trying to be different, though it may seem like a worthless Impression Management tactic. Ours is a cricket-crazy nation, there is no doubt about that, and if there is lack of evidence, ways to find out are: Log in on Facebook, Activate BBM on Your Blackberry, or after An India-Pakistan Match see the content in the eyes of people on the streets. Not deviating from the main point, The men in blue, Indian cricket team, won the World Cup with the skipper going for a six on the last ball, for more details refer a Newspaper or look up the repeats on the internet. During the presentation, noticed this man, who rather wanted to be unnoticed, His name was Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Funnily, in spite of being the captain of the team, He just did not want to be seen. After Lifting the cup and giving an unexpectedly small speech, He disappeared, to My horror no one noticed it.. but all I could gather on My mind for the man was Respect! Proving His point with his innings in the finale and the record as the skipper. All I could feel was, Maybe We do not respect the Prime Minister as much as We respect our cricketers, this man deserved another applause for the underplay act off the field. Or all this can just be My interpretations, maybe I too got carried away in the mood of all the crowd around Me, and was looking at it in depth! Anyways, A Very good aggravation for the very existence for this blog post.

Bond
Driving back Home, feeling the streets, head held high, broad smile, I figured that sleep is a distant dream today, will have to find something to satiate My never-ending quest for entertainment. With No expectations, Moments after switching on the Idiot box, "In Her majesty's Secret service" flashed in front of Me, with a little knowledge about the Famous character and the uninterrupted and enjoyable viewing of some films of the brand, I knew it was James Bond. The word "Secret" in the title gave it away. The sense of accomplishment of guessing that was unbeatable. Moving forward, I grabbed a word, or,in better terms, a Term hitherto known only to My ignorance, 'Genealogy'. At late nights, am particularly lazy to look up meanings of words in the dictionary, so I almost threw it back in the boundaries of ignorance, when James Bond, who is on an undercover mission like always, explained it to some other characters. It meant, "the study of families and the tracing of their lineages and history" And no, the next few sentences may not seem related, but Pondering over the word, I realized, the lack of depth in everyday life.. The life that we all live, Or rather the convenience that we all stay in, made Me feel content-less. Interesting observations about Life in Mumbai in the modest twenty years of survival,people just believe what is convenient to them. I have this indulgence, of reading about the signs of Zodiac, quite a few friends are aware about it. Zodiac related questions are generally shot at Me, The funniest one always comes with an accompaniment, "By the way, I don't really believe much in this shit, but tell Me more about Scorpio/Aquarius/Capricorn i.e My sign" I generally oblige if they aren't of a sign I am not well-read about, but what I always wonder is... If one doesn't believe in it, why bother asking? Somehow it shows the practicality of people to always keep their options open and change opinions, the main thing is most of us don't even believe on Our beliefs! After this blog, I may forget the desire of depth and believing Your beliefs I talk about, but I will always remember that, Life is Unpredictable, with a certain set of principles and a normal brain, I don't think there's much of a problem. All this, on watching a bond movie in which I am supposed to be at the edge of my seat, craving for more. Yes I am.. Someone please Gift Me a DVD of all The Bond films. I would truly appreciate that.
Weirdly, I have this realization that, what started with a confusion of what should be written, turned out to be a Non-motivating, motivational speech towards the end. This indicates randomness of thought. This post is an expression of this thought, but shouldn't be as long as the Bandra-Worli Sea-Link! So Here is where I would like to sign off!
On the concluding note, Enjoy India's Victory at the World Cup 2011, and watch More Bond.. Men Who Make Men...
With all the gyaan, in the derivation of the word, I felt, If someone ever reads it and tries to implement on betterment, I'd feel I did A Secret Service to His Majesty! Believe in Your Belief!

Communication!

2010, The world has been into a period of transformation right since the advent of mankind... Its been placing itself into different eras very safely with all the care. Man has advanced, with a little compromise, Nature! That's not what this is all about, but Technology has been one of the most important factors in the destruction of nature. No details I know.. Even though technology has blessed us with Easy ways of Communication.. Everyone is so ungrateful just like Me!
Communication has always been necessary, when there was no language it must have been the actions and paintings that we have read about in History textbooks! When there was language, Man wanted a bit more comfort and luxury and hence Graham Bell invented Telephone! Then came Computer, Cellular Phones, Internet! And all of them have taken such an important place in Our Lives that One actually can't imagine Life without these.. They have become Important Media Tools, in fact The very place that am sitting while writing this Not-Needed Gyaan is all surrounded by A Laptop, A Wi-Fi Connection, A Landline, and My Mobile phone!
Although there is one thing that always crosses My mind when I watch Old Movies, It seemed so difficult then, things which are somehow indispensable Today, didn't even exist then. Dialogues consisted of "Kal hum milenge issi jagah par", Poor guy He couldn't even call up his Heroine and say If He couldn't make it... But that makes me feel, Wow! I mean it would be so important then to meet up someone when fixed, and am sure People would try their best to make it.. Nowadays" Hey Man I can't make it, lets make a plan for later.. Sorry, Take Care!" Its convenient but makes People unimportant , things have materialized like anything now! I so wish I had No cellphone to cancel a plan with friends when I am stuck somewhere, at least I would try my best to be there when said...
SNS(Social Networking Sites) They have been the latest buzz! Orkut, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and many more, half of which I have an account on, and half of which are best known to the members of the site feeling lonely around. These sites were a Thumbs-down before, I remember logging into Facebook for the first time, finding it boring and logging out, without even making An Account... Although on this date, I can stay without The Newspaper, Maybe My Morning Tea, but not without Facebook, Don't even know when was the last day, when I did not Log in. My point here is, things have become so important that they are easy now, Facebook and Twitter have been criticized for being the most Un-User-Friendly sites in the beginning, but that doesn't deter the Highly Socially Active Teenagers, and Nowadays Even Adults from Logging in, which means Sites have been modified to suit the Users! Which shows how easy it is Now to Communicate...
But the flip side is really sad, at least to Me, I am the kind of person who needs to do something only when it has a Charm, Gone were the days, what I see in Movies,That The Hero is waiting for the girl outside Her College since days, just to come in her way, Only To Get a Glance back, maybe a smile if He is lucky... Now the ways to seek attention have changed.. There is no Hard work in searching for a particular individual, You just need the Name... Saathiya (Viveik Oberoi and Rani Mukerji) had a sequence, where Viveik's friends are explaining him the practicality of not finding the girl He is looking for, and Very effectively He filters the Number from A Crore to just Seven and then says the dialog," Saat Ladkiyon me se Ek ladki dhundna toh koi badi baat nahi hai na" With the same circumstances today, He would say," Uska surname pata chal gaya na buss, toh Facebook pe add kar sakta hoon!" It has no Charm, its just easily available.. and its a Human Tendency to Not Value things which are Easily available, And then We blame Other individuals for being wrong in relationships, friendships, with the easy availability, Everybody Has Become Shallow! Although now that this is Getting too Non-Communicative of The Message, I Must End it Here!
Stay in Touch!
P.s: After All The Era Of Communication!

Show-off!

*Mom 3 O'clock ka alarm please*
*Ok, what time is it now?*
*9.30*

A routine conversation between My Mom and Me. Correction... It WAS A routine conversation between My Mom and Me in the last week of March. Reason: My Examinations were going on and for some reason I had to actually study hard for almost all my subjects! Phew... Finally it was over and I had Five thousand plans in my mind about how my vacations are supposed to be spent... As usual nothing actually materialized except for the Gymming thing that has gotten into me(Don't expect any difference in my biceps, this was just plain show-off)...
A certain hangover kind of feeling I wake up with almost everyday of my vacations, Which makes me go,"No wonder I am always on time for the rest of the year!" I finish my quota of sleep in the vacations... Sleeping late and waking up late is the only thing which makes me think that I have something called a vacation. But there is something very good about the silent night that is every night, even if One isn't asleep, he certainly doesn't find himself in A sleep or die situation. On the other hand, its not the same with the day, although there is commotion and the real world works, plays, gets entertained, earn a living, have a life, etc etc... It is very difficult to while it away.. So the best way is to be awake in the night wondering why hasn't the cell phone vibrated yet or wondering what status should I update in the morning or which must be my lucky number today or randomest of all... What is my Gym instructors name(Show-off again) etc etc... and in the day, well... let others make hay while the sun shines, I'd rather sleep!
Btw, reminded by show-off, I have got a new habit, A bad habit of watching at least one movie every week... Starting from April Week 2 release Prince followed by Paathshala suceeded by City Of Gold, Bounty Hunter, How to train your Dragon 3D and the latest Housefull... All of them, except for Housefull and How to train Your Dragon 3D, were Shows Off... Meaning, they were all running succesful to empty theatres! Which reminds of a dialogues from Zoya Akhtar directed Luck By Chance, 'Wahan pe Content is King, Hum aapki industry me yeh culture laana chahte hain' I think it was a "karara vyang" on Bollywood, which is changing its ways of Cinema, by forgetting that the main reason why a movie would work at the Box office is A story! Most makers have become pretty bold, I mean, The most dullest season at the Box Office every year for Movies was either the Exam season or The Cricket season, In spite of both the seasons together this year, Bollywood had as many as 12 movie releases in the Month of April... No body is scared of Competition Just because Jannat and Biwi No.1 worked during a Cricket season! Anyways am No Taran Adarsh or Rajeev Masand to comment on it, but it hurts to see the industry which I respect for its stature, bleeding because of its own mistakes! Nevertheless, being a Very Optimistic person, I would expect Badmaash Company, Kites, Raajneeti and Raavan to not dissapoint the audiences! Though Housefull is a relief to the industry, may be just the start.. Expecting the best...
Watching Movies at The theatres is still a luxury which is not meant to be fulfilled everyday, but there is always a need for recreation, and what I do with it is.... Gym! Yes, I am a frequent visitor of that place where according to me, "No pain, No gain" the famous saying was first said. Must have been a Very motivating Trainer who came up with this one. But just because I go to the Gym doesn't mean I shoud Carry! LOL( A very old one, must've sounded familiar) Hmph.. My Mehnat in the Gym will not stop anytime soon, but my Mehnat on the keyboard should stop by now, Beacuse I am Guilty conscious about writing a L-O-N-G note on no specific topic... One thing I will always be in pursuit of, is a writable topic and not just random thoughts that I almost every time just compile!

Intense but not In-Tense!

Lone!
The only four letters common between three big and heavy words which have been taking their own importance at different phases of My life, namely: Alone, Lonely and Loner...Alone, Lonely and Loner are three synonymous yet totally
different meanings altogether...
Its pretty personal to post it here, but I think its My creative outlet to a negative feeling which is great according to Me on a platform like a blog, where anyone can read it, but its easy to skip... In that way, expression of the feeling comes and the content comes that I blurted out what I felt...
Alone means plain alone... (al ONE), No one around to share anything with, a bad but a totally helpless state. A less of psychological but moreover physical period. Its the time which no one will ever understand about what you were doing, what was your state of mind, What was the expression of Your face,When You thought about being alone, When You consoled Yourself no You aren't alone, but yes You were! When You cried *if You did*, When You smiled after that on Your own,When You felt strong that You don't need anybody to be with to spend Your time, then collected Yourself that No.. I can't be alone, I don't deserve to be... Its a period of time which goes slow, makes Your world go upside down, at least it makes You feel that even though not true... But for a fact it's for a very short span, as in like an hour or two, Maximum One whole day! Its like an Examination Going on which has a difficult question paper and You never studied for it...
It makes You respect Every one You have in Your life, be it Your Not So Good Friends, Your Colleagues who aren't as cool as You are but are there, YOUR WATCHMAN who smiles at You and opens the door... Yes am serious! It can be a bit devastating for someone who is new to it, You can break down on the graveness of the fact that, "Man am actually actually actually alone for an hour" It can make you check out every thing on the road, observe all kind of strangers around, *comes the worst* make You check your contact list of Five Hundred People yet find no one to accompany You for the current moment, it can make You post sad things on The Internet, if you are stranded alone at an unknown place, but blessed with Mobile GPRS... It's when You see a ray of hope in every slight movement in Your surroundings thinking that its Your cell phone which is going to ring now.. But to Your despair... All Alone... A bad period, but frankly motivating You to be Happy when You have something, teaching You to respect what You have, because there are still many things You have but some people may be deprived of! The best part about this is that it makes You realize how important it is to think about Yourself,but still respecting everything in The world with all humility... Its an intense and short period but sometimes really necessary for a reality check of the certainty and uncertainty involved in a journey called life, which is beautiful but You will only realize when something ugly happens!
Lonely means alONE with company... Doesn't happen too much with me for the sole reason that I just stated above about the respect thing You learn of being alone... But still being lonely is like being in a swimming pool and still feeling all dry. Its like totally not acknowledging what You have, its the worst feeling that You can go through, or make yourself go through, because you are just being rude to who is around you, or maybe the reason for your loneliness is the person or the group of people around you. Sometimes You think about things which some one else with a different state of mind would never understand, or you are expecting things from people who don't want to do it for you, or maybe they want to do it for you, but don't know that you want it from them... Basically, when the people you are with just don't understand what you need, what you are thinking, what is your state of mind, why is that frown on your face, why is that smile not there, why is there no expression, why is there no sound... Its like you being in a swimming pool, wanting to be not dry, but the water in it doesn't understand that it needs to comfort you with its moisture, and cool you down with its temperature... That's when You should pity yourself for not being communicative or for being around people who aren't of your type... But the most important part of this occasion *feels guilty about terming it as an occasion* or series of occasions or maybe an entire phase of Your life is its like Your Open-House day when You get Your results, its like being too ignorant at studies(not acknowledging what you have), or scoring bad in some subjects(having the wrong kind of people around with whom you can't score well) or maybe just being weak(unable to understand the reason of the communication gap) or maybe all of these... This may sound as the most unexciting experience, but it will always allow You to look at a situation from all aspects of it, making You Pro-active, I know its not necessary to go through all of this, but its a great learning than just a bad experience...
Loner... The odd man out.. The only one of the three to not be a phase but a self imposed exile! A Loner is a person who WANTS to be ALONE AND LONELY... I have myself been that for a reasonable period of time, I think the compulsion of loneliness that You impose on Yourself comes up as Your Self-Defense Mechanism, when You have been Alone, Have been Lonely and all of that... Its time You assess what's wrong,if nothing seems to be wrong then what are supposed to be the corrective measures necessary to avoid any of these in future... Its like When Mumma and Paapa scold You after scoring low in your exams, You just keep on staring at Your Report Card and try to find out whats wrong and what could have been the report card like, "I think an extra dose of marks in History and an A++ in Computers would have looked Good"
For all the assessment you do, I think there is a vacation because obviously You need to know where you were wrong, if at all You were... This gives You protection for sometime because You be Alone on Your convenience not because of a weak moment or an unforeseen unavoidable situation... No one can harm You by not understanding You, Nor can You harm Yourself by being with the wrong people....
I think the Loner part is the easiest to say but the most difficult thing to stick to, because of the variety the world and the people cater to You... You are bound to be tempted *keeps on happening with me no details to post* Its a dilemma kind of a feeling which always tempts You even though You know this Self Trust Exercise is necessary... It reminds You dialogues *ahh... My favorite part* from all kinds of movies like the one from Dhoom Two By Hrithik, Which says that You should only trust Yourself and nobody else.. Or the one from Bachna Ae Haseeno By Ranbeer which explains Minnisha Lamba to open the doors of Love for the world is not that bad A Place to be... Its Totally How You end up conquering the Win-Win situation where if You are Hrithik , You are the Smartest Person,and When You are Minnisha You listen to Ranbeer and allow Yourself to repeat some mistakes, Coz You never know History May Not Repeat Itself....

p.s: This is all a chronology of events happened in my life, and not necessary may happen with You... At least not in the same Chronology...

Wish You All, All The Content And Happiness In Life...
Take Care Guys! :-)

My Belated Happy Birthday!

Okay its too late to realize its been two years into blogging now, nothing much has changed though, am still the same and boring Manish, with less grammatical mistakes (maybe) and more consumption of Tea while writing.... So as someone commented on a post of mine, here I am writing about My Birthday...Two years back around this time, it was Shahid's birthday post from me, still love him, but am more personal about it now!
17th January 1991, One of the worst days in the history of mankind, the most boring creature took birth on Earth... It was Me, Coincidentally My Mom and Dad share their Marriage Anniversary with My birthday... *doesn't want to believe but knows that friends crack joke behind my back on My Dad's timing* So... Birthday, its a very important day in anybody's life... Everybody waits for it and most people are excited about it... and why not? Which other day in the whole year would everyone pamper you and ensure that you are enjoying and happy and stuff... But am a bit different, rather very different... Somehow am not so excited about my birthday...
I mean what is so different in the day man, its like just another day minus the phone calls....
Anyways I goofed up big time on my birthday this year... My special and close group of friends have a tradition sort of a thing which allows them to pop up at 12 am at anybody's place, cut the cake, and waste all of it on the birthday boy's face, but all of them Use Facebook.. I also use Twitter and Blogger, that gives me an edge... (no connection anyways) I am totally well versed with the plan and everything, didn't wanna fall prey to it...
16Th Jan 2010... Saturday evening. Was with Chinmay at Inorbit Mall, got myself an authentic Rubik's cube(my love for it had just grown) Dropping him to the temple he warned me that they'll be coming to my place at 12.. *Ya Ya Right Right*
17th Jan 2010... 12am BANG... Am nineteen...Okay not making any difference,Big deal! On the phone talking, forgot to switch on my call waiting... Shreya's message "Dude wads wrong whr r u? Pls pick ma calls once yaa i gotto wish u pls dun do dis" Strikes to me like a Hammer, "Oh God my call waiting" and its on the next moment! Beep beep... Call one... Beep beep Call two... and My Cellphone becomes, "Chalta phirta call center" Very obvious, It Happens with everyone I guess...
But my mystery location still untracked by Pratik, Dhruv and Chinmay... I was at my second home, Anyone who knows me, knows Malad Crepe Sation, but to my disgust, it was full, I still booked a table and then I get obscene calls from the Three idiots who had reached my home and didn't find me there, somehow they found out and reached where I was waiting to see those sad asses*I mean donkey, avoid slam in my writing*.... Mission successful, didn't fall prey to their usual mischief, in fact made a boo-boo out of them and that's why the slang in the video:-



Exciting time, had like loads and loads of fun! Nocturnal animals also eat, something we needed to realize, and we did only to start the hog-a-thon... Some raste ka khaana, and searching for a place for Hookah on the link road...
1 am... Oshiwara Crepe Station about to finish its closing for the day, think wouldn't be able to go there, but for a fact, Crepe Station Brand loyalty pays... Suraj -The manager at Oshiwara Crepe... Had a decently convincing chat with him,He arranged for shifting the closing time to an extended hour. Only on the condition of minimum billing some 1000 odd rs! Feasible... Okay.. Lets Go!
Booze, Hookah... and we leave but after making a bill of double the promised amount and having triple the expected fun,...
Phoof... Reached Home at around Three Thirty am, it was a total disruption to my body clock, needed to hit the sack and pass out and count sheep and blah blah blah....
8am... Home... Wake up with Heartfelt Birthday wishes from the family and SMS'es from all my friends, totally humbled by the unexpected affection... Start some obvious fidgeting with The Rubik's invention, manage to get One side *am still stuck* Mom, Dad and Sister watching Chance Pe Dance, Me Chill maar raha tha at home, was online but invisible... Okay Okay got to get ready and leave, But wait didn't eat anything...Umm.. "Hello domino's? Ya I want only Garlic Bread... Ya you don't send side orders... okay How many is the minimum Garlic Bread I have to order... 3? Okay ... send three... note down the address"
Having a first Nineteen year old bath, thinking of what plans ahead, but not too certain of anything... Got like totally ready, Stuffed the garlic bread with cheesy dips in my body... Leave for daadi's place, get blessings... Get MONEY... Chachi stuffs all the more food especially prepared for me, (Why does this happen with me, the whole world wants me to eat) My Cousin Brother MR. Sachin Joshi who shares his Birthday with me meets me at My daadi's place, Watch a boring cricket match for some time, then comes Rohit, Poor guy, he studied the whole week and the whole morning to spend time with me, He had taken all the required permission from Chacha and all set to leave... We leave for Oshiwara Crepe *again for me*
Hmm... time passes slow when you are normal so call Up Shreya expecting for betterment of my day, "Am coming most probably... Wait I don't think its possible... so sorry want to come... okay Shreya try to come but..." Rohit and Me still there since the last two hours,hanging out, Turn Up Rishika and Ayush, the most Violent couple I have ever seen, Have fun, little guilt comes that Poor Shreya cant come although She has left from home(Long and pretty personal to post it here)On My way back to home like in some of my last posts had a Heart-To-Heart Conversation with Rohit, still getting too many wishes through the Cellphone! Reach back home... Talk to Shreya and she gets me back to my normal life, in which the whole year am even happy and even sad, only The Birthday is supposed to take a toll!
Cheers Everybody Rock n Roll...

Rubik's Cube (Bollywood Ishtyle)

Ohkay! Everybody knows that, this is not The dreaded Exam Time, neither is Kshitij (My college Fest) work on right now, so many may presume that I am posting this because I am wasted... I just need to say, that am not wasted, I have an indulgence in a Toy since last few weeks! Toy! Yes am not Kidding... But yeh koi aisa waisa Toy nahi hai mere dost**Om Shanti Om Accent**... Its The Very Famous Rubik's Cube...

Invented by Erno Rubik, who claims that he invented it because of his curiosity about Space... Space? Ya Space.... God knows how he interlinked space with engineering and stuff(No Connection with Three Idiots I suppose), but other than that I know what he interlinked...
Delhi Six different colors, Six sides, Nine blocks on each color... Anyway Did you notice the last two lines were in the multiples of 3? Never mind my jokes.. Yeah so... There you have a Cube... A Rubik's Cube! Now the problem is it can be jumbled easily, but cant be solved easily, Unless you have The Patience of Saurav Ganguly and The Talent of Sachin Tendulkar, A Generous donation of IQ from Einstien would help you a little...
That were some basic facts about it, and a BASIC problem about it, and a basic set of unattainable characteristics needed to overcome the problem.. Now I need to say, my success in unjumbling the cube is also pretty basic... Basically, I can solve Any particular side or color of the cube in less than a minute,from the most jumbled or unjumbled of situations, You know One Two ka Four,and Four Two ka One, but then My name aint Lakhan, ummm... this was Very sad and I didnt start this post to bore everyone with these Basic things... I see a new (possibly... but hopefully not.. old) angle behind it... So as Saif quotes in Love Aaj Kal, "Naya angle hai, I think humein iske baare me discuss karna chahiye" Let me NOW start off with my unwanted Gyaan!
After sitting with the cube for hours and whiling away time, and showing off my Speedcubing skills *only till the extent of one side* to my Peers, I realise many things about it... Dhan te nan... Sach Ka Saamna... (Caution: Not for the Geek-hearted, can be dangerous to your mental well-being. Toxic Philosophy.)
It is such a big teacher in life, we may know about our impatience and crib about it every damn moment in our life, we will never try to improve it unless something compels us to do it, the cube did that with me, Main uska yeh ehsaan zindagi bhar nahi bhoolunga... Trying too much to get all colors still not being able to even get two sides full can be very frustrating... Ask my hair, which I was almost going to tear... But in my continuous efforts to reach my target, I have become more patient, My smile says it all man! Ta ra rum pum... Ta ra rum pum....
Another thing is I learnt to Give up... Nahiiiii.... Now thats a bad thing, but actually the Give up thing that I learnt is not a bad thing because I learnt to give up a Smaller opportunity for a Bigger future opportunity,You know Chance Pe Dance... When you see that the white block is very close and can be got in place easily, you dont generally see what you want after that,Dekh ke bhi andekha karna syndrome... Because that is momentary pleasure ignoring the possibilities of the Future and in the end You definitely regret it! The same thing can be applied in Life as well, If you are in a position to gain something, but You can wait, put yourself in a bit of extra trouble, and gain something even better than before... What do you chose? Obviously the second option, but only if you know about it, and thats what I learnt... Being proactive and A bit of Far-sighted... Its like a Bird in hand is worth two in the bush, when you have your Belief, You get too many things...
Towards the end of it I ll come a bit shallower in my thoughts, the best thing about the cube that happened to me is, "Meri Zindagi aur bhi rangeen ho gayi hai", Yes You may not believe but such an indulgence is an over-indulgence... I get colorful dreams... White, Blue,Red,Green,Orange, Yellow, and after posting such an uninteresting thing right now... I am a dirty Fellow...
Mujhe yeh shuruaat me hi keh dena chahiye tha, but I am saying it now... Hello, Hello... Hello Hello Hello... Jab Phone ki ghanti bajti hai toh kehte hai Hellllo...

Kshitij 09 Pronites!


This year, Kshitij '09, Mithibai's inter-college festival, has a theme of `The Carnival', to push the grimness of 26/11 from everyone's minds. The tagline, `Soaring beyond the horizon' is meant to capture the essence of the same.
So this year, the college has a stellar line-up for their Pronite, that consists of international Punjabi singer, Juggy D, DJ B-Projekt, Delhi-based electronica group, Jalebee Cartel, guitarist Warren Mendonsa, metal band, Scribe and rock band, Blakc.
Bouncing back Says Kshitij Chairperson, Ketan Rambhia , "We had a spectacular line-up for last year's Pronites, which included some big time artists. They had already confirmed and the stage had literally been set. But due to the unfortunate terror attacks, the Pronites had been cancelled altogether as a tribute to the martyrs and due to certain security purposes. So this time, we are bouncing back with a bang."
Event details Parth Pandya, Head of Department for Pronites gives the line-up, "On December 16, the first night of Kshitij `09, the guitar hero of India: Warren Mendonsa (from Blackstratblues) will play `live' after a gap of four years. Hard core rock band, Scribe, will open for Warren Mendonsa, who blazed the fretboard with India's most magnetic act Zero for over seven years."
Vice Chairperson of Kshitij '09, adds,"On December 17, Blakc and Jalebee Cartel, India's most successful `live' electronica act will take the stage. And on December 18, the stage will belong to B-Projekt and Juggy D, who has collaborated with the likes of Madonna, Mary J Blige, Ricky Martin and Madonna on remixes."
The official Kshitij website, www.mithibaikshitij.org offers details for passes for the Pronites, which can also be taken from the college building itself.

Multiflicks!


Look at this picture, this is Cinemax Versova's Red lounge, one of my favorite places to catch a movie!
Poor me, I have not visited a movie theater since almost two weeks! Thank God for the release of 99(Hindi Movie) that I was relieved for a while, but my relief was short lived, because the multiplex strike did not seem to end, but if rumors are to be believed, the multiplex strike has ended, and one of the first movies to release will be Jacky Bhagnani's debut movie "Kal kissne dekha" and next will be much awaited, at least for me, is "Kaminey" Shahid Kapur-Priyanka Chopra starrer!
But one bad thing for the Hindi film industry is that there are many many big budget films awaiting release and the sad thing is that only 30 fridays are left in this year, so chances are we may have an overflow of movies once the strike finishes! Which is sad, because every movie may not get its time to set and work, films may flop for no reason! God bless the industry, as an avid movie watcher, am happy that once the strike finishes I ll be back in my 150 degree recliner at Cinemax, and watch the multiflicks in the multiplex!

Life being a Teenager!


Hey guys, Hello... You know what guys, I am here to express my thoughts and views about anything today! I mean my blog is today my stress releasing platform. Being a teenager is damn cool, at the same time it is like really very difficult. Let me tell you the inspiration of this thought.
This morning I woke up late, as its my vacations going around. Finished off with the basic chores, morning tea, newspaper, Mtv Tickr and all fresh went online on my own virtual space at orkut.com which I have been using for three years now, and to my surprise, I see a testimonial with wonderful and flattering things written about me! This gave me an emotional high and set me in good mood for the rest of the day. As soon as I was out of the house, I was full frustrated with the Traffic signal outside my house which has an increased timer... I carried the frustration with me until I met Rohit to pick him up, We were at Crepe, had fun, met friends, and then went roaming till Juhu Crepe, just to watch the second innings of the IPL match!
While coming Me and my intellectual Bro shared some thoughts and realized something.
It was that, both of us are smart, cool, intelligent, penetrating personalities, but the biggest problem is we were so damn similar, that people may think of us as brothers(which we actually are), but then its so stupid to be so monotonous! We realized that the indulgences of our lives have become same, and same as in ditto same. Which was like bad...
Being a teenager is tough coz now both of us want to be different from the world and from each other also, what a challenge! But more than our personalities we realized that the reason for them is our indulgences,I mean since the last two years we have been sharing wonderful time with each other, with this time both of us have undergone changes in ourselves which our conducive to each other, this is the beauty of it. We are same but for the reason that we never get bugged up with each other, we both have our personal social lives, with each other and without each other! And thats what I like, but now the question is, why do we need to be different, no we dont really need to be different! So just like another confused teenager, am closing my blog with an open end!

Fahid Kapur'f nexft.. Kaminey

Ek faal fe fakal hi nahi dekhi maine ufki... kafam fe.... Itf almoft a yer Fahid haf fad a releafe! But now all hif fanf will be furprifed with hif neft film, it if called af Kaminey where he if playin a double role.... And the interefting thing if, that one character named af Charlie haf a problem of lifping, and the other one named Guddu haf a problem of.... ffffffttamering..... Then there if Priyanka Chopra, hif rumoured girlfriend oppofite him in the movie, her character if named af Fweety, fe playf a girl who ftayf in a chawl... 
Kaminey if a ftory about identical twinf, in early twentief, hoping to leave the fqualor behind and move into life of profperity. But the fimilarity endf here. Intercut between the parallel ftorief of the brotherf af they run to protect themfelvef if their dreamf and their love until a point where it convergef and the brotherf meet to come upon a life-changing realifation!
Shahid was asked to keep his new look of the movie in wraps as it is a new kind of role in his career and has never played as the rugged boy! However with the trailer You may realise that he has grown out his hair and acquired an even more toned body, all in the to make him look more rugged and raw for his cahracter Charlie!

 



Kaminey releases on 5th June this year, and as the release date comes closer, rumours of the lead actors romance are also getting prominent. Recently both of them were spotted at the 50th birthday bash of Karim Morani. Priyanka arrived at the party along with her friend around midnight, while Shahid came in an hour later. The couple was seen talking in hushed tones in a secluded corner and both of them decided to leave together at around five in the morninh in Priyanka's car.
Lets see what this bollywoods new Rab ne bana di jodi does at the box office, he trailer seems appealing, hope everybody likes Shahid with Priyanka...
Best of Luck Shahid!

Get Well Soon Shahrukh!


Poor Shahrukh... God knows what he must be goin through right now at this phase of his life. Not because he is injured and is in pain, but more because of his Work-a-holic nature, The actor just had a shoulder surgery yesterday at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai. He was injured in november shooting for Dulha Mil Gaya, directed by Mudassar Aziz, but the energetic person as he is, didnt stop work and took the injury a bit lightly severing it. Then was the much awaited Billu Barber... Oh sorry Billu... about to release, and Shahrukh the responsible actor and producer postponed his surgery for the promotion of Billu! Now that the movie has hit the theatres he got his surgery completed, lots of fans and Celebrity friends gathered ar Breach Candy yesterday to greet him luck for the surgery, and he was lucky indeed the surgery turned out to be succesful.
Shahrukh is out of anaesthesia and is experiencing pain. He is said to have rest for atleast 4-6 weeks. The optimistic star claims it to be the small price he has to pay for all the good things in his life! His friends were with him during the surgery Juhi Chawla, Farah Khan, Karan Johar.... I think the old phrase which says that " You are always alone when you are at the top" is so not true for Srk... In the last two decades of his work and contribution to the hindi film industry, he has not just made it to the top, but has also made it with company, Shahrukh Khan is a true friend, he has always been known to be very close with his friends, and so have his friends been.
But I would really like to differ from Shahrukh for his statement about the small price he is paying. I still am of the opinion that it is still very sad to know that there are so many people who know whoz the biggest brand in the industry and use it for their publicity... Like recently we saw Aamir Khan using Shahrukh's name for his dog and criticising Shahrukh for always speaking much about himself... I mean Ghajini was the biggest hit bollywood has ever had, did Shahrukh use it to promote Billu? Obviously not... just because of the humility the actor is full of, he is targetted and used and still not overcome. I mean there cant be another Shahrukh Khan, the life Srk has is not because he is lucky but because he is worthy enough! He has always been giving the best of family hit movies since the last.... umm... forget I lost the track... He is good at work, now he is showing his sportsman spirit with the last IPL. Shahrukh is the owner of Kolkatta Knight Riders(KKR) which was the most talked about team at the last years IPL. He owns the Red Chillies Entertainment under which there is KKR, Red Chillies Movies, Red Chillies TV, and Red Chillies VFX which is all very good and is not succesful just beacuse its SRK's but because its also worth the effort.
Shahrukh Khan who is also termed as The King Khan, is never proud of it, he still has great amount of Humility in him remaining. And his humility is seen in the statements that he makes in his interviews, and the biggest hint of his humility is he thinks he isnt humble enough! I mean its so true that A person who has the right to boast doesnt really have to.
And to top it all on his personality he has his sense of humour filled with sarcasm and charm making him what he is, he understands the value of humour and is always found using it to get people smiling! Shahrukh is really a great actor and a very good human being! Just wish him a speedy recovery for his shoulder would Love to see more of him...
LOVE YOU SRK!

Nothing specific

Happy Valentines Day to everybody who does not visit my blog... Here I am again in my living room with my PC to post another post. Its so difficult to chose a topic, I ve tried Personality developement, sharing moments, but then who will read my blog unless there is something more interesting than my own boring life? What say? Correct... So me planning to get regular with my blogging on 1st priority and search for topics to speak upon.
So lets start with a hot topic, Today is Valentines Day and I dont have a Valentine to celebrate, even though if I had one, I wudnt have been celebrating it today in Mumbai. Everybody today has a reason to come out, with the nearing elections, you can see lots of Moral Policing prevelant, although it 11.30 am and still no news on the TV, I saw an interview of a high rank Police offficer saying that those of them who are found Moral Policing will be severely dealt with. There was this advice or you may term it as, a word of caution, about expressing your love and violating the rules. All the Valentine couples are requested to not be obscene at public places, especially at Shivaji Park, and all the beaches in Mumbai. The only confusion which prevails is who decides the heights of obscenity and the levels of it, India is a democratic country and everybody is expected to be expressing their feelings, the only day in the year they cant do so is, on Valentines day, Love is a feeling which needs to be expressed, people can manipulate their acts of obscenity into expression of feeling if they are caught by the Mumbai Police, and some corrupt Policeman would rather define expression of love as obscenity to get their pockets filled. This is like really funny, India has the largest constituition of the world but is still weak in deciding the limits, limitations of the constitution cause a lot of confusion!
But then this is just my opinion on the day of Valentines, my real motto to write this blog is to be closer to my friends, but I know they wont visit this page unless I call them up and ask them to do so, and which is but obvious, because I myself dont visit my blog page so often, its after years that I am posting. And the reason for my poor attendance is the dillema which I go through when I think about something to write on the blog, people may think who is he to write about general topics on a platform easily accesible to general public, what does he think of himself... But I may like to say that the only reason for me to write something like this is to voice my opinion, I am more of a non-violent approach, I cant just say anything to anybody, but with my blog I dont have to be a "People Pleaser 24*7". I find myself free to speak on this platform beacause there is no train coming to this platform (I am always found with such bad jokes)
And on the last note I would again wish Valentines Day to all the Moral policers, and all the Floral Gifters who are celebrating their day in their way!!!

Shahid Kapur's Birthday!!!


Hey guys... Long time no postings... So am back for a short period... Yes... Sadly I am online for a short period because I got my board exams from the 29th of this month!!!
Phoof.... Tired of studying and suddenly what strikes me... that tomorrow that is on 25th February it is Shahid Kapur's birthday!!!
And I am so very happy about it... He is my favorite actor since his first movie that is Ishq vishk...
I cant do much for him because I got my own limitations... But dedicating a post to him in my blog is something I can obviously do!!! And that is what I have
done...
So Shahid Kapur will complete his 27th year of his life...
And after all these 27 years of presence in this world, he has now made it big for himself... From Ishq vishk... To Jab We met... seemed like a long journey for him... He got everything... Love, Fame, Money... everything that one desires.... No matter he got his own share of controversies as well... but after all that now he is one of the industrie's stars with an increasing graph... He has now multiplied his fees by 5 for a movie and has enterd into the big camps as well... Yashraj Films!!! Quite an achievement... Wishing Shahid luck and also a new girlfriend(after all that Sania, Amrita and Vidya rumors, he seriously needs one to stop media from targetting him)!!! Anyways Shahid Take care :-)
