Appetiser

Hey my first time so I will just be brief. Have been planning to do this thing for days but as u all know me and prompt action dont go hand in hand.
Saw Lakshya last night. Must say it is one of the best film to come out of the 'Bollywood cauldron of utter crap'. The fascinating part is Farhan Akhtar's briiliant attention to detail and he has tried to be as realistic as possible. U can tell that a lot of research has gone into the making of this movie. The cinematography is world class and we can truly say that this movie does have features that are comparable to global standards. Hrithik has done a commendable job. I never liked him but now i do have a bit of respect for him. The songs are well done too. All in all its a great effort. Its a whole new genre of direction(for bollywood) and I have definitley been yearning for it for years together. i am sure most of you will relate to this as well.
This refreshing change is paralleled by the advent of another russian girl on the tennis horizon. I am sure she will be more know for her tennis than her predecessor. Finally we saw someone doing to Serena what she's been doing to the rest of her colleagues.....blow 'em off the court. Maria forces us to stand up and take notice in more ways than one!! Should make the experience of watching women's tennis more exciting.

The main course is pending....

“Amitabh Bacchan, Sharmila Tagore and Sanjay Dutt” “Yeah right!! And we are the beatles” was our response when this guy narrated the list of people who would be visiting our house for the movie shoot. This was about June last year. We guys had a gala time pulling the guys legs and ridiculing the notion that our house would be the one selected for this shoot. Told all my friends and received more than the odd sarcastic sneer serving only to embolden my belief that it was no more than a trick being played to get us to sign up for this ‘circus’ (as it turned out in the end). We didn’t show any interest after that and neither were we being pestered for it. We had the art director come and pay a visit along with a rep. of the director. Still nothing moved along. They suggested that they would need to make some modification to our compound wall and we asked them shove it. That was the end of it as far as we were concerned. Then one fine day, a Friday, this fellow again came by the house wit...

a declaration: I will not pass critique on any movie in this one.... Now credit need to be given where it due. While we have been caught up in the all the grief or alternatively the elation depending on your geographic location we have somehow overlooked the revulotion in revenue generation that is about to sweep across the US of A. consider this..... The americans ask you to pay the following b4 u can get ur ass in their land..... 1. GRE fees 2. TOEFL fees. 3. Application fees. 4. Visa application fees just to name a few heads. add to that the overheads like courier charges, all sorts of fees that u gotta cough up to get all the necessary documentation. Heres the masterpiece though. The CIA through their large spy network ( I have met a few of their agents ) identify the "pied piper" , so to speak,of every community. Unlike the story though this pied piper is mostly of the other gender. Now they will persuade this piper girl to take her GRE, TOEFL ....so on ...

Who are "these people"?

I recently had the chance to visit Pune on a short trip. Between gobfuls of sumptuous comfort food I caught up  with lots of family and friends. During these conversations one common theme started to emerge that I cant stop  thinking about. But before I go any further a quick tangent…. ….On this trip I threw caution to the wind and ate what could be the Mt Rushmore of desserts. Puran Poli,  Basundi, Jilbi (aka Jalebi) and Motichur Ladoo. That led me to the conclusion that this is the best lineup of  desserts in the world and they all come from a relatively small geographical region. You add stalwarts like  Shrikhand, Aamras and Kaju katli to this list and we have a true All Star team! I challenge any region in the  world to come up with a better line up. But anyway, enough about that. Everytime I engaged in a conversation and the subject veered even close to the Indian State of the Union there  would be this common theme; XYZ is ...
