Harry Potter......

Friday saw the release of Harry Potter's 5th movie, The Order of Phoenix...Rated as perhaps one of the best adaptation of a book into a movie, The Harry Potter series has taken the world by storm...but for me, I have never been intrigued by the notion... I havn't read a single Harry Potter book, nor hv seen any of its previous movies....But that was all about to change.... coz Minal got us tickets to watch the 5th movie....@ Pune's E-Square...
For Vishal, he had a general background of the story of Harry Potter.... Aakash n Minal, both avid Potter fans, had dragged him to previous 2 movies..... n now it was my turn... So Aakash n Minal gave me a general outline of the story n whats been cooking in wizard land.....
I got hooked on to the concept, and so was watching the movie with some interest, with Aakash helping me fill in the blanks... I also came to know how much ppl love their young wizard boy... The theatre was filled with applauses n whistles when something happened, to which I was somewhat oblivious....
Even though i was developing liking to the movie, some happenings n jargon were clearly over my head... for eg, the nomenclature, characters, their spells, magic words, an so on......One part where Sirius is made to go away, behind something called the 'Viel', the entire cinema went silent... n i could make out that everyone was feeling sad... Minal n Aakash explained that Sirius was a very imp. character, n once gone behind the Viel, no 1 ever returns....thats y every1 was a little sad there..... Imagine an American Guy, who watches nothing but baseball n basketball, watching a Cricket match, n someone like Sachin gets out....the entire stadium would be disappointed, but this guy wont be even moved...coz he just doesn't knw whats happening on the ground, n who Sachin Tendulkar is.....thats exactly how i was feeling @ E-square....lol...
But nonetheless, I would definitely want to watch the earlier 4 movies.... So would make it a point to do so asap...n would again wrote about it then.....

Andaz Apna Apna......

Perhaps the best comedy movie ever made in Bollywood would be Andaz Apna Apna...It is my favourite movie, and I cannot get bored of watching it ever. I have watched the movie more than 70 times atleast. But each time, the movie seems equally hilarious and entertaining...Yeah, u can call it obsession... i dont care... One of the aspects of the movie is the Overacting of the actors. Everything is shown extravagant. This virtue makes the movie even more funnier. I think the director just explained the shot to the actors, and let them perform it according to their own will... this is clearly evident in the totally natural and free flowing humor and presentation of the same. Aamir Khan's 'Aila' and Salman's 'Ooi Maa' are truly clowning. The characters are also interesting. Robert with his peculiar 'Galati se mistake ho gaya' and Bhalla with his ever sinister 'Pilaan' add to the humor coefficient. Paresh Rawal with a double role is twice as good. Sh

104 - TOW The Workaholic Me Well, the title to the post (and also my orkut display name) is justified by the fact that i posting here after a gap of more than 1 month.... In my last post, i mentioned my schedule.....well, soon after i posted it, my timetable went for a toss...training began to get extended, tests started becoming exceedingly tough.....no gym, swimming pool seemed non-existent and tennis was out of question.... My primary goal was redefined....going back to the basics....FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER.... If this goes on, pretty soon i mite end up like this.... I made it a point to hv a heavy breakfast, coz lunch time was as fickle as the Indian cricket team's form....1.30...2...2.30....sumtimes no lunch at all...just a sandwich....I even had tough time finding some moments to grab a cup of coffee(yes...even though its free, i didnt drink much...)...and dinner was just like a midnight snack.... Here, I can't resist quoting a dialog from Andaz Apna Apna..... "A

201 : TOW The Puncture.....

201 : TOW The Puncture..... There are many things happening around me that i could have written about in my blog regularly.... but being derived from the base class ' LAZY ', there isn't a data member ' m_ExtraWork ' in my class.....That kept me away from blogging for almost a year.... What then prompted me to override 'void Relax() ' with ' void Blog() '???It was this exceptionally funny incident that took place yesterday, 23rd August, involving Vishal . On Sat. 23rd Aug, me n Vishal started at 7.00 am towards Kothrud, to play cricket with office colleagues.... As we were passing the new stadium for the Commonwealth Youth Games (CYG) on the highway, Vishal's bike got punctured....I got off and Vishal decided to return and get Minal's Scooty. As I waited, Vishal called me and said he had found a tyre repair shop not far from where we were, and was getting the puncture removed. Since I was getting bored, I decided to go there myself....
