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!!!
