Saali Khushi

This post of mine is inspired by the music score of the upcoming movie Dev D.

Well it finely depicts the truth within..

Kaha chali gayi hai saali khushi…

Once it was the time where I was so happy and everything in the lyf was so fine, but now as if life is on a rollercoaster with much of the ups and down and I duuno kaha chali gayi hai saali khushi.

Its placement season in our campus and the due to the financial turmoil there are less number of companies comin to campus these season and that too at a lower package. Even the companies has got a reason to cut down the packages. Have I mentioned that I have opted for Finance as a specialization and wanna go in core finance as career.

Well being a fresher its though to go in core finance in the beginning despite of all the economy slowdown- where the companies are laying off instead of recruiting .I have been trying in hard to be fit somewhere but currently there are no openings in the finance sector other then the financial products. But still I am tryin on and on…and the hope maintains within.

Often life oscillates between what could have been and what will be…in the midst of which I forget what is! I think that happens to most of us – always ruefully or fondly remembering the past and weaving nascent dreams for future! What easily goes for a toss then is the PRESENT – the time that is…the time we are living in…NOW!
And funnily, every time we read it, or hear someone saying it or even think of it ourselves, it makes perfect sense that we should get back to making the most of what we have now, rather than cribbing about any other phase of life. But it rarely ever happens. Even if it does happen, it is just momentary.
Over time, through fleeting incidents that life offers and chance meeting with interesting people, I have grown to realize that unlike what I thought earlier – happiness and sadness are nothing but a state of mind over which we have full control and command. It is how we choose and how we live, that determines our reactions to different situations in our life and the decisions that we make and/or are forced to make!

These were just few very personal insights. But there are many more, which each of us encounter in our day to day life but conveniently ignore. 

‘Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.’ I am not saying it is easy to forget and move on. But atleast I have to make an effort of being thankful for so many things that God has given me – some even without asking, rather than blaming him for what he did not give me. Yes I need to change and understand God’s connotation behind this message. This is a challenging journey but it should not be too hard. The least I can begin with is appreciating the miracle called life and the gift called nature. It is never too late. 

 

Traffic of pune

I live at the place called sinhgad road since I have been in pune the road have been always under construction and so thanks the road for all the dust and pollution we have been inhaling so long.

The people here have to encounter the traffic jams and not to mention that these traffic jam have become the material part of ppls life, and if any day when there is no jam here (oofcourse which does not happen) the people does not feelto drive over… 

Well what to mention abt the particular road the whole pune traffic is a chaos..

These are general rules for all the vehicles

(This is a very imp rule...anyone found violating this rule may be heavily fined..!) – I am never wrong..even if I change my lane, cross another's lane...I am not wrong...rather I am proving my driving skills...

If someone honks and I give way...I am not fit to drive in Pune.

I need not give an indication that I'm turning, in advance. It is only sufficient that I turn the wheels of my vehicle in the direction I wish to turn. Vehicles that maybe inconvenienced are none of my concern.

I am driving on a race track, so even if I hit someone who cares...

If I'm stuck in a traffic jam...even 1cm of distance I cover will help me reach my destination in time...

If someone is hit, falls down, is hurt...I am not supposed to stop and help. I am supposed to watch and have a hearty laugh at how people are arguing...

At a crossing, it is your right to go first...always...

If a vehicles is struggling to take a u-turn on a busy road, and he's half wat through, you are not supposed to give him way. He is destined to wait, even if that means causing a traffic jam for the other traffic...

Try your best to break signals, signals are made to be broken...

If a female overtakes you, your ego is hurt. Overtake her, cut her lane in the next three seconds, else your not fit to be a man...

If you have to turn right...you should not be in the right lane...

These are rules buses/trucks follow

I need to keep changing my lane from extreme right to extreme left...

If another vehicle wheeler is trying to overtake me from the right, block him in such a way that he's just saved from getting cramped...

These are rules two wheelers follow

Drive as if the road is curved...take sharp turns at every turn...(coz the youth is very imaginative na..)

Keep to your left is an old rule...the new one is keep ur vehicle in the middle lane...

In case of a traffic jam, use footpaths as roads...every inch forward helps you in reaching your destination...in time...

These are rules cars follow

Who said only two wheelers can zig-zag and keep changing lanes...I can do that too...

These are rules rickshaws follow

I can stop anywhere in between..(afterall I need passengers na...)

These are rules cyclists follow

I will not drive on the left...that hurts my image...

These are rules pedestrians follow..to ease vehicular (com)motion

Don't use footpaths...they have been made by mistake..

Don't cross when the signal is red...the best time is when its green...and vehicles are approaching at their top speed...(its adventurous na...)

Ghajini - Review

well its too late for the review of the movie but still i have to do it since i went to my home town and was unable to post the review. well the movie is fantastic as was predicted and is doing good business and is also breaking records for business.

The movie is not ditto copied but the concept is taken from memento- err atleast bollywood people have done something this time.

It’s been years since I saw a Hindi film that had so few dialogues for the leading man. Quite unlikely for a masala movie about romance and revenge! Stoically, Aamir Khan walks and rips through the film with the charm of a Casanova and the beastliness of a vengeful man, and delivers a performance that will be remembered even though the movie itself may be forgotten after a few months. 

Director A.R. Murugadoss tells a long story at a brisk pace and shows no frugality in depicting violence in all its goriness. It is blood curdling stuff gruesomely glorified. Stuff that gives you the heebie-jeebies! It’s mostly hand-to-hand combat with frequent use of iron rods that serve the sole purpose as skull-crushers. Repulsive!

But if you have stomach for such revolting violence, you would enjoy sitting through ‘Ghajini’ for many reasons. First, it’s unique plot. Second, Aamir’s mind-blowing acting. Third, Asin’s confident debut in a heart-winning performance. Jiah Khan is appropriately cast in a role that doesn’t demand much from her. Pradeep Rawat, as the antagonist, is menacing. 

There is a gaping hole that yawns right at the very base of Ghajini’s story. If a man can’t remember that his lover was killed or who killed her, why does he need to remind himself again and again to take revenge. Wouldn’t his vengeance wane away with his memory? Murugadoss should have established some internal link that keeps pushing the protagonist back to his mission – something like sporadic dreams or memory flashes.

Anyway, realism is something you shouldn’t expect from ‘Ghajini’. It’s a full-on masala film that is stylishly shot and has above average music by A R Rahman . It’s a film that needs to be enjoyed with mouthful of cola and fistful of popcorns even though the no-holds-barred violence keeps getting on your nerves. Despite its long duration of three-plus hours, the movie, with its quick pace, doesn’t weigh heavy, and leaves you with a mind out of time. Anterograde Amnesia, anyone?

Ghajini - A before release preview!!

Yesterday i was surprised to see the new trailer of the movie ghajini.  As i was saw the trailer i was happy to see something new from bollywood, other then the family drama and the romantic based tragedy. But later i recolleceted the hollywood movie based on same concept which i have seen 2 months ago. And found that the upcomin amir khan movie is copy of the hollywood flick-Memento. memento is a movie where a man, suffering from short-term memory loss, uses notes and tattoos to hunt for the man he thinks killed his wife. people can watch the movie memento(2000) and by comparing to ghajini can judge the movie is copy by thereself. do watch the trailer of both the movie.

 

Ghajini is also based on the same concept where sanjay Ramasamy (Aamir Khan) is a rich Tycoon suffers from short term memory loss will be affected by a metal pole when they try to intervene in the murder of his girlfriend. Because of the severe injury on his head, his memory can be achieved only for fifteen minutes and he dose not remember events or incidents that have happened before in his life. He can now only live a comprehendible life itself notes and take pictures of things with a Polaroid camera to remember about events that have happened...

The movie is said to be an remake version of the south movie gajini. And it was also said by people that the movie is inspired by momento, but actually both the ghajini movie are not inspired but are copy of the hollywood movie-memento.

This is not the first time the bollywood movie is copy of the hollywood movie, but any bollywood movie with a new concept is copied from the hollywood, aah other then the traditional indian films filled with ingredients like family drama and romance. 

Bollywood--- when are you goin to make a good movie to offer to indians based on your own creativity and not just merely based or inspired by some hollywood movie??

comeon people here are waiting for a good blockbuster from you.

 We must wait and watch the movie to evaluate, the extent to wich the movie is copied and what else bollywood masala is added to the movie. surely the movie is going to be intresting and a fisrt day first show watch, with amir khan comin again after the hit "taare zameen par".

So let us watch the movie and i will be back with the post release review of the movie until then watch "Memento" a gud movie based on a good synopsis and something different based on chronological events well timed... 

 

Dear terorrists...& Ministers

Dear terorrists.... Mighty nice job you have done... Killed a lot of people in one of the best cities in India. Injured several others. I'm sure you must be proud of each other. What are you celebrating with tonight? Champagne?

 I'm sure it is fun to see people with dismantled limbs and arms and splattered blood everywhere. Oh and how can I forget to mention the little helpless kid sqawking in the corner calling out for it's dead mother! Too much fun hey? uhh!

 But unfortunately for you, the merrymaking won't last for too long. That's because you are going to get your sorry asses handed right back to you by the army and by the citizens of this country and Mumbai. Do you know that the whole world is mad at you right now? Mails have been pouring in condemning your unworthy actions by friends around the world. How sad that when you die nobody is even gonna care. Nobody is gonna be unhappy. We are gonna celebrate. And that day will come hey? Just you wait and watch. You see there is still concern and love in this world. People maybe religious but they aren't blithering idiots like you are. There are many who don't even believe in religion. And they might be scratching their heads wondering what the fuck you are trying to prove. 

 You know you guys could seriously be doing something better. For a person to whom killing hundred people comes easy, anything can be easy. What blinded you so much? Who persuaded you to become bastards of the first order and forget about a good future? Actually don't answer that. Because it's too late anyway and nobody cares now. 

 God knows WHY you are doing what you're doing but what we, the people of India and the other good people of the world DO know is that you're totally gone. You are grossly outnumbered in this fight and what's more... we've got justice on our side. We have integrity and we have each other. What do you have? 

Dear ministers....gud job to u all...you all might be happy as a new political topic is intensifying for your dirty politics. some of ministers of the party in power may be happy and mesmerized in the lust for promotion, as some ministers have resigned.

While the opposition party again got a gud topic for the upcoming election season and all set to prepare their election mantra and weapon against the ruling party.

During the disasterous situation in mumbai some politician were busy with there frinds cum filmy directors discussing the issue to be shooted as a upcoming film. Our PM manmohan singh a good economist and reformer for india has been propeled to act as puppet int he hands of government supreme officials.

ministers the time has come to act as rebellion against the terorrists and to save the life of innocent people so called aam admi!!

 

Soon the day will come when you will point one of those at your own worthless heads and shoot yourselves. Then you can finally go where you ought to be -in the distant expanse of hell.

Dasvidaniya-The Best Goodbye Ever

I thought how come such good movies comin frm bollywood, but after some research work i came to know the movie which is great but nicely copied from firangi plot" bucket list". The pace, although slow, suits d film. Story was well narrated and each and every character suits its role well... Songs were also gud.

Dasvidaniya seems to be a good movie. Vinay Pathak once again proves that he is one of the best actors around. He comes up with another ace performance after Bheja fry but the problem that I felt with this movie was that when our movies show someone as a simpleton..... he is portrayed to be a complete fool. I also feel that the emotional Quotient of this film was pretty low. Instead of being treated as a comedy drama, this should have been made as a complete emotional flick. The scene with his brother was the show stealer. The script gave a feeling of Deja Vu, a simpleton, who is suppressed by everyone learns he is about to die and decides to live life and leaves everyone wet and gloomy when he dies.
