typical me!!!

Even though I abhor the idea of Cricket being watched in every house, every time( mostly because I can’t watch other programmes during that time), I couldn’t help but be excited that Yuvraj Singh had hit six sixes in an over. Finally it was good to watch India bat, every batsman did their thing, but right there when India started to bowl, my mind reached the hate cricket mode. Even though India did win the match, it was a hopeless victory.

…and in the news was about the new ShahRukhKhan movie much hyped up multi cameoed ‘ Om Shanti Om’, was about two distributing companies who bagged the distributing rights for a very large sum of money attracted the Income tax people, and the usual that happens, happened. Apparently ShahRukhKhan underwent physical training to build up a six pack Abs for the movie. Everybody watches the ‘monkey faced’ King Khan, all WOW’ing and OOH’ing like they’ve never seen another guy with six pack abs, both men and women. If one goes to construction site, one can see many men with them. How come they don’t get all that? And mind you, it was the same ShahRukhKhan that made fun of Salman Khan(not in a bad way though) in a Clinic Plus ad.

Last weekend I saw a Malayalam film, ‘Arabi Katha’, which is a story about a communist “cuba” Mukundan. Mukudan will do anything for his pary “The Communist People Party” and will do nothing to bring a bad name to his party.According to him the promised land are Cuba and China, where communism still upheld. But when something terrible happens, he has no choice than to go to Dubai to work. Hence the name “Arabi Katha” (An Arabian Tale) . The movie sends across mixed views to one’s mind about keralites working in the gulf countries. Even though this movie is no heights of Film making, it’s got it’s humorous side and some good characters.

 Schwarzkopf wanted to raise money for charity, so last Sunday at Infinity Mall, Versova, Mumbai they assembled all their hair stylists for anybody who wanted for a sum of 500 ruees only. They started at 1000 hrs and went on till  2000 hrs. Now 500 bucks is a lot of money for a haircut and I was very surprised at the crowd’s response to this event. You could see from the photographs that there were a lot of people. In a way one could think that they are gaining some thing by the donation. All I can think of is “haircut” and “500 bucks”. Damn.

Now that would be a pretentious way to put it…bench. The good thing is that I have free net access since I’m still in the Project pool. Browse and then I’d draw

After reading Nita’s post I was reminded of what I imagined few days ago. She mentioned about places like Bandra in Mumbai and Bangalore having stray dogs in packs roaming snarling and mauling(ok…the latter i didn’t know).She must not have been to Andheri East, especially J.B Nagar where I stay. You’d find dogs and bitches(you see a lot of the latter) walking like normal people…..well the thing in J.B Nagar is that you’d find Cows too walking like normal people, even though they shit everywhere atleast they don’t attack. I walk home late at night everyday, and when I reach J.B Nagar, I get the spider sense tingling everytime that i am being followed. It’s like I always think that they have a kind of strategy in keeping themselves from harm.
Coming back back to what I imagined once. I think there is this whole secret thing going on in Mumbai….a conspiracy thing probably. I think the dogs have understood the Human behaviour, they know their weakness, their strengths, their everything. Oh! that would be our weakness, our strengths, our everything. I think there is this secret place where no human knows or been where they would be safe and multiply……multiply and then they’d take over the world. They’d form their own civilisation,governments, wars and nukes. They’d have their teevee shows(hmmm…’F.R.I.E.N.D.S’……instead ‘D.O.G.S’…..or even better ‘D.A.W.G.S’ as in “whusup dawg!!!”). Soon each dag calling every other dog a ‘bitch’ would be banned because that would be a law against discrimination. And they’d have humans as pets with lashes around our necks and all. Poodles will have cute little humans(dwarfs and elves) as pets, with all the cuddling and so on….Poodles will be like how some of us humans consider the blondes in the US. There’d be movie called “Legally Poodle”…….
Hmmmmm….If I could draw like the rut blog guy, probably I could put all of this in a drawing.

It seems some people from another country came to Mumbai saying that’d sterilize all the dogs for free, but the animal lovers movement in Mumbai put a stop to it. Now we have dogs in the streets who’d take over the world. Shouldn’t we do something? I don’t want to be in a kennel.

I wish all my friends and everyone passing by a Blessed Friday and a Joyful Easter!!

The best thing about being in the EDS maintenance project, is that one’d get enough time to browse through the net. One can make very much use of it. All I do is Stumble..and I came across this .

I’m back…this year, me, even tuf, strong, irresistible, and….and…who am i kidding…it’s the same same ol’ me. The train journey was alright, except that there were some tourists from madagascar(two kids n their dad) who were on their way to Goa. It was like they were the exhibits and the people who were travelling watching them like they are in a musuem. The kids a had a disney work book, which was in french(i thought of joining along with him btw…..it was ‘jue avec des pirates’ or something) and the other guy sitting near me tells me that French is just like English only few words differ and all that crap. After that they point their fingers to their nose and ask them how do they say that in French and they continued to bother those poor chaps.

Landed at Mumbai at around 17 hrs and then dragged Nikhil to ‘Happy Feet’ for the 2030 show….my God!!If it weren’t for the Amigos and Lovelace the movie wouldn’t have been fun. Otherwise the movie was OK. The animation was good and they didn’t waste time animating the humans. They merged the real picture with the animation. It was Neat.

1 more day to go….then I’ll be on the train to Kerala. In the past 15 years, I’ve never had this feeling of ‘wanting to go home so badly’…previoulsy I’ve I liked it better staying at school/college, even though college sucked then(now when I think about it, it wasn’t so bad at all). I want to go home and probably after two days it’ll get boring at home, but I don’t think I’d like feeling of coming back here. Why is that only I hate Bombay?….I know adjusting is never the problem, it’s only that I don’t want to. Why don’t I want to adjust ?
Anyway….Go home, go attend cousins engagment(which I wish I don’t have to), attend a friends wedding(I got the invitation…yay!!) and I wish I wish Iwish I don’t be approached by any of the Eunachs(higidas I meant….am I being rude? I dunno) on the way home.

Last weekend I read Batman: Dark Victory(contd. of Long Haloween) and saw Kabul Express.

Dark Victory :Story follows after the investigation and the capture of ‘The Holiday’. It begins with funeral of Carmine Falcone and a riot happens in Arkham Asylum where all the convicts escape including ‘Two Face’, except the serial killer Alberto Falcone, The Holiday. Based on his actons Alberto Falcone is released, with the help District Attorney Janice Potter and influence of his brother Mario Falcone who was under exile in Italy and his sister Sofia Falcone who is confined to a wheelchair due her encounter with Catwoman in The Long Halloween, under the condition that does not leave his mansion near Wayne Manor….then a new serial killer is on the loose,’The Hangman‘. As that happens, there also is a war between Sofia Falcone who is out to seek vengenance for her father’s death and Two Face. Over the war between them, death of the Graysons happen, leaving Dick Grayson behind who is adopted by Bruce Wayne after the incident.

I think Batman forever is a lil’ inspired from this book. I liked Dick grayson’s character in this book and this book like it’s predecessor, The Long Halloween has a lot of twist. Good book.

Kabul Express: This is not a bad movie actually, atleast it is better than Dhoom2. Two Indian reporters with the help of a Pakistani, goes to Kabul in search in the hope of getting some breaking news . They meet up with an American reporter who is in search of a interview with a Taliban. Everything seems fine until a Taliban comes in their way, but towards the end the audience finds out that everything is not what it seems to be. The movie has it’s laughs here and there. John Abraham and Arshad Warsi gave a decent performance…..but the best part of wat ching the film were the seats. hmm cushion seats like the one Joey had in friends.

Anyway…thats it for now…

me going home the day after tomorrow and before that I gotto finish all my work.

Bombay is a boring place….boring because I haven’t been to the right places…..boring because I haven’t been out much other than me going to the office….boring because everybody’s boring…..boring because I am boring….boring….borin…boring…zzzzzzzz

photo taken during one of the boring times in the office…..I have a lot more like this
So I got up in this Saturday morning,deciding not to be boring anymore…..atleast to myself.Therefore I decided to go to the mall and read the comics over there at Landmark(….because I can’t buy it…..doesn’t mean I mustn’t read it)….so I reached the mall at around 15 hrs and since I couldn’t find For Tomorrow vol2,I read Frank Miller’s 300(soon to be made into a movie)……..review..

300 : The Book’s got good artwork(when good….don’t compare it to Jim Lee’s Hush or to Mark Waid’s Kingdom Come……this is totally different….good artwork compared to other Frank Miller books).The Graphic Novel tells us the story of King Leonidas and his 300 soldiers of Sparta on their way to conquer Persia .That’s how the name 300 came.All of us know the story of the Spartans;trained warriors by birth….yea by birth…whenever a male is born,he is checked and if seen not to be fit, he is discarded….just like that…like throwing away garbage,these Spartans are supossed to be hard hearted sonsofbitches .This story tells us about Honor, Duty, Glory, Combat and Victory….and Spartans. At the beginning I thought that the style of dialogues wasn’t right for thebook..but actually that didn’t matter,who knows how the spartans spoke English…(oh they didn’t speak English ,rite).

“…..and a man who fancies himself a God….feels a Human Chill crawl up his spine”
If anybody wants to buy it, don’t be heart-broken,face it now itself….it’s Rs.1267…but worth a collectible.

there was a scene in whinch the spartans where piling up the bodies of the persians and this Leonidas guy eating an apple…hmmmm…a tht….maybe I thought a more preferable scene would be him eating meat while his fellow spartans were piling up the bodies…or maybe him eating…human flesh..hmm heehee….(”sadist..sadist….reality check”…oh that was me speaking to myself again…iff u like my blog(what!!)..if u read my blog when i post any,there’d be some “self-spoken crap like these…so …don’t be alarmed….hota hai :-))
…..and after that I saw this movie….You,me and Dupree

Review :ahhhh…..it’s a kind of movie which you’d rather wait for the original DVD to release and then think twice or maybe thrice and then type ‘You,me and dupree’ in the p2p and then wait for 4 days to download(if you have a slow connection) and then see the film……after that if you get a film which you wanted to have always….and then you find out that you dont have space in your system and then you see ‘you,me and dupree’..shift+del

and the next day I got up early in the morning…..not to church……went to see “Emperor’s New Groove”(yea…first a comic n then an animated movie)….and ….

Boom baby…

the movie still has it’s effect on me…..man I was laughing more than the kids beside me

hmmm…I gotto grow up

and yea thats me after the movie…

U ever get a hunch that you’ll get flicked(don’t know the exact word when u get robbed by a pickpocket)….whatever….When I was in this bus(really crowded bus)….and man I had this reeeaaal bad feeling “What if somebody picks you”..(picks me???…hmmm)…at that very moment I kept my hand in my pocket in which my purse was kept(it had the rent money…that’s y) and when I got out of the bus I checked my other pocket(which I didn’t keep my hands in)……and

tadaaa

…..my phone’s gone

….and to my surprise I wasn’t that worried how any normal human being would be if one get picked…then I said to myself, “Welcome to Mumbai.”……(these things happen i guess)
It took a little time to get over the sarcasm and get into reality…….man I ‘m really starting to hate this place(don’t ask me what the place did)…..and the best way to get over this was to watch a funny movie ,so I went for a movie…’Pyaar ki side effects’

Starring:Rahul bose,Mallika Sherawat

hmmm yea mallika sherawat……before seeing the movie I always wondered how this movie would turn out to be….U all saw Murder,right..so I thought that she gonna suck as usual..

Actually she wasn’t that bad…and Rahul bose….no comments…..I mean he’s always good…the kind of actor who’d show that Shah Rukh Khan sucks……and better than Saif also. I totally enjoyed this film even though it gives the feeling that you’ve seen some of it in High Fidelity,otherwise it is a well directed(not that gr8)well acted(oh yeah ….ranvir(mixed doubles) is also there)

I always wanted to sit in one these scooters(not very clear photos)

anything else I want to do….hmmm… would want to improve my writing,buy a new phone.
