I know, coming from me, this sounds like blasphemy, but when I saw Raajneeti, I didn't like Ranbir Kapoor! I mean, I wanted to see more of Arjun Rampal than him! Arjun was definitely the hotter one! And his husky voice coupled with power.....its a totally irresistible! Ranbir, no doubt was good in the movie, but there was something missing. Or maybe it was just me..... I think I'm done with men who can 'think'! I didn't like him even when he was shirtless in the shower....and when he was shirtless with just the jeans on and smoking! I really need to shake myself up! I mean for God's sake it's me who's NOT liking Ranbir Kapoor! And, the same goes for Irfan Pathan too. I mean I actually changed channels when he came on Indian Idol!!! Ah! Not one of those misoandrist phases again!

There's just no good music to listen to! Radio also plays such sad songs! Even the RJs suck. Earlier, I remember listening to this morning show of Jaggu and Tarana.....they were the best RJs ever!! I guess their show is over now. Anyways, when I first saw Raavan's credits and read A.R. Rahman's name there, I thought, there will finally be some respite....but the music was such a downer. The music of I Hate Luv Storys is some relief! There are some great songs.....like the Bin Tere Reprise version and Sadka Hua. And the title track is peppy!!! Aakhon se kehke yeh sapna gaya hain, subah ko jaage toh rasta naya hain!! Wish life was as simple! I've also been listening to the male version of Iktara....and trust me it gives you the chills! Je naina karu band band....beh jaaye boond boond....tadpaye re kyun sunaye geet malhar de....! Also, while you're at it, download the title track of Kaminey. It's an awesommmmme song! Meri arzoo kamini....mere khwab bhi kaminey....ek dil se dosti thi....yeh huzoor bhi kaminey!!! A nice song to listen to when you thought you never had a dark side but then, life proves you wrong!

BTW, how are Kabir, Nikhil and Sehar as names of my new story? I've just finalised the names.... I have no clue where I'm gonna get a story from! I have a faint idea for a story.....but I'm not sure if it'll be something I'd want to write on...! This story was actually something someone had promised to give me in this lifetime... A story that only I could write....something that I could write because I'd felt it, because I had lived it.....but it's precisely why I don't want to write!! This time, I want to write something that I've not experienced in life. That would be a great challenge! So, if anyone has any ideas as starters, please let me know and book your place in the acknowledgements!!

The New 'ME'

I'm so happy that my olden days are back. Days when I used to get up in the middle of the night to blog. It's one of those nights today. One that has come after a really long time. I don't know why but I think I've really lost that 'touch' I had in writing. My blogs aren't the same, my stories seem the same....there's nothing new in it. I guess I've gone stale! I don't even feel like reading these days. The last book I read was way back in July last year and I remember returning 18 books half read since then. I'm on my way to return the 19th unread one. Feels like I've broken up with Reading and Writing!

Speaking about break ups, I saw three break ups in two days! One of me breaking up with one of my best friends and two of two of my friends. I really don't know if you call parting ways with your friend as 'break up' but that's the simplest term I could come up with. It's not easy to let go of people that are so fucking close to you....but I guess, sometimes, you really need to stand up for what you think is right even if the entire world labels it as WRONG. I've always admired Geet when she said in Jab We Met, "Meri zindagi jaise hain, main jaanti hoon ki mere wajah se hain, kal uthke main kisiko blame nahi karna chahti ki jee tumhare wajah se meri zindagi barbaad ho gayi" I think this is the best dialogue I've ever heard in my life. And the best piece of philosophy. And it needs a freaking amount of guts to do that. I didn't have it till now, but now I'm gathering it to live my life the way I want, even if means hurting a few people on the way. They may think it's intentional....but it's not.....it's just coming of age. Or more bluntly, it's just living my life for me. Not having to give explanations to people. If they get it fine, if not, forget about it. I don't know what the repercussions of my decision will be.....good or bad.... but I'll never blame anyone for whatever happened to me....not even myself. But I hope one day, people will be able to see my point of view first and not try to influence me to go be theirs. Someone told me that the only problem with me is that I listen to what others have to say about me more than what I have to say about me.....so, just trying to prove people wrong here! Trying to being a new 'me'. And I don't think that's wrong.

It's so surprising that love is a thing that gets people close. The two of my friends who broke up (2 disparate break-ups) were not my best friends, but definitely people whom I really care about. Close enough that I got goosebumps when I heard both the stories! One story makes me hate all Indians for having a bias for Hindu-Muslim relationships and the other one makes me hate all men and their philandering ways.....why can't you dogs stick to one girl who's given so much to you....you don't have to return the favour of what all she's done for you by cheating on her! There are only two kind of men whom I can't personally ever forgive.....rapists and cheaters. Men really are dogs. And this isn't a polite way to call women bitches!

Watching a chick-flick can be such a stress reliever at times! After 2 days of stress, I saw Sex And The City: The Movie, and I truly enjoyed it! It was clichéd, banal, hackneyed and all the synonyms dictionary.com has to offer for 'repetitive', but it's that kinda movie which can lift up a girl's spirits! So, am off now, to avoid banging with the table on my way out, have a good night....err....Good Morning. I'm sure it's morning by the time you read this. Adios!

Some Honesty!!

Yes! I'm back with a vacuum cleaner (don't worry it's not the one that was used to deliver Mona Singh's baby in 3 Idiots!) to clean up the cob webs that my blog has accumulated over the period of two months that I haven't stopped by here! MBA is taking a serious toll on my creativity! All the creativity I know these days is creativity in leadership.... the stuff that I learn in subjects like Perspective Management and High Performance Leadership!!! *Yawnnnnn*

I saw 3 Idiots. Nice movie! And I'm sure the entire world's seen it thrice already so no point in writing a review on it! But I really feel bad for Chetan Bhagat! Not getting due credits for your book hurts, and it hurts bad!! But in some ways, I still prefer the book. It had it's own charm. Vodka, weed and Floyd on the Insti roof.... the way Alok and Neha first met (I'm now so conscious of driving with bare feet that I don't drive at all with a guy sitting next to me! Ok...ok... I'll be honest... I don't drive with a guy next to me because all the men in my life are big time chauvinists when it comes to women drivers!!) everything in the book had its own sweet charm! No wonder it follows the Twilight series in my read-more-than-once list!

Ok. Phew! Breathe in. Breathe out. Relax! The mere name of Twilight is enough for me to start hyperventilating and start talking about it Oh! Edward Cullen! There's something about this guy...err vampire that just makes you go weak in your knees! I saw New Moon which is the sequel to Twilight and I loved the movie. Though I didn't like the way the entire getting-over-Edward was shown. Methinks it happened too fast and the pain that was there in the book was missing from the movie, maybe because Kristen Stewart looked doped,stoned and sexually starved in the entire movie! I can't wait for Eclipse to come out! That would be one hell of a movie.... Edward v/s Jacob....both fighting for Bella!! Lucky bitch that girl is!! Really looking for a Jacob in my life now *wink!*

I'm so glad this entire Farmville thing has reached its saturation point!!! I remember when the frenzy was at its peak, I was getting friend requests from guys. Now for a girl, that too hot at that (so much for self love!!) getting desperate I-wanna-MAKE-frandship-with-you requests is not unheard of! But in the Farmville fever, the kind of friend requests I received said something like please-add-me-I'm-not-interested-in-frandship-I-just-want-a-neighbor-for-my-farm!! Man!! This hurt my ego real bad! Now my display pic is hotter than ever!!! But in all this social networking thing, I really feel bad for Orkut! Because of Facebook, Orkut's become like the illiterate man's Facebook!!! But I also miss taking inane quizzes on Facebook! I'm sure had they still been in demand, one of the quizzes would be like 'What Farmville Animal are you?!' or 'What would be your Farmville level when you die!'

I admit that I've been a social networking sites addict (the frequency of my status updates on Facebook would prove that), but I don't know why, I never got the Twitter bug. Methinks it's for people who are really really really jobless and to hide that joblessness, they try to attract attention!!! Which I think only shouts out loud that you're totally jobless! I admit I'm also jobless and have nothing to do, but tweeting is a waste of time!! (Ok, I'm sure you'd appreciate more honesty here.... I don't tweet because I'm too lazy to open one more website. Why take the pain when you can tweet on you Facebook status updates! See, I'm only really really jobless and not really really really jobless like those chidiyas who tweet every 5 nanoseconds!) I am so surprised to know that I have such a great fan following of people who love my status update and they wait to read it even though they understand head nor tail of it!! Time you guys form a group, 'We love Nupur's status updates!!' I promise you, I'll become a fan and will 'like' it too!! (I know, I'm in love with myself!)

Chalo, bye people, enough of being jobless, now you go back to your work and I go back to mine.... reading an entire week's Economic Times in the next 10 minutes (yes, training for CAT RC helps....anyways, at the 11th minute you reach a saturation point and can't understand anything beyond it, so why waste time!!). So I'll take your leave by giving you a piece of good news..... I, after being jolted of seeing my blogger rank fall, have returned to full time blogging..... ok, I'll be honest again, my ego's kinda hurt... think I'm getting a KT in my Communication Skills paper only because I thought it's not important to know how many lines are to left before and after the subject line and if the date and the complimentary close are to be on left for the semi-modified block or on right for modified block because according to me, communication meant getting your message delivered to your audience and them understanding it!! But who'll explain this to the Mumbai University!!! I need Baba Ranchoddas!!

Some More Nonsense

Yay!!! I finally turned 21 yipee!!! And I so want to go to Las Vegas RIGHT NOW and throw an age proof on those casino people's face! At least now, they can't shoo me away for being underage!! Yay!! I'm 21!

I finally saw a Ranbir Kapoor movie in a theatre!! Yay!! I'm so happy! Finally I saw him on the big screen!! Wake up Sid! ain't that bad a movie that everyone says it was! Of course, I have no clue about the story.... I was lost in Ranbir Kapoor!! And there was Rahul Khanna too....he's hot too! Now I wish, even I have a hot boss like him and a hotter room-mate! Then, life would be totally COOLLL!!!Ranbir Kapoor in formals is actually hotter than Ranbir Kapoor in boxers! See, I can like men fully clothed too.... they need not be shirtless and playing football for me to find them hot! Anyways, RK in that white kurta in the end getting wet in the rain and in white shirt and blue jeans was breath-taking! I had to remind myself to breathe...just like Bella had to remind herself to breathe when she saw Edward Cullen! Yes! The Twilight fever is back!!

I'm so waiting for November... 2012, New Moon (Twilight's sequel) and Ajab Prem Ki Gajab kahani releasing! Wow! TREAT for my eyes!! And Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black in New Moon is beyond HAWT!!! And APKGK looks like Andaz Apna Apna types....so I'm all in for it. And hopefully, I get people to catch one First Day First Show with me! If not, then I'm gonna force people!

Yet another post.... yet some more non-sense. People, please bear with me. I'm going through the biggest and the worst writer's block possible and can't think of anything better to write!! So till then, read this! Oh Damn.... I really need my Cell Biology lectures to get my creativity back....

P.S- How's Chetan Bhagat's 2 States.... reviews needed...

Why I'm Still Single!!!!

Reasons why I'm still single

1. I don't wear salwar kameezes normally. So nothing like my dupatta falling on the face of the prospective boyfriend and then it sliding away slowly while he's still taking in my perfume, totally mesmerised by me.... err no, mesmerised more by the dupatta, doesn't happen!!! And, there's no slow background score playing too.
2. Again, no chances of the dupatta getting tangled in his chain or anything else are nil! So no moments of looking-into-each-other's-eyes-while-music-plays-in-the-background.
3. I don't wear heels....so I don't fall while walking with a lot of files with un-filed papers in them (which are almost always blank!),which would all fly in the air and then settle down due to gravity after taking their own sweet time after I fall, so again, there are no falling-and-he-coming-to-hold-me-whilst-a-slow-song-plays-in-the-background happens!!
4. I'm always the most inconspicuous person at a wedding(still, my duur ke rishtedaar aunts are successful in locating me and bombard me with inane questions and rishtas!), so no Salman-Madhuri moment happening too in my life, pretty much because I'm too lazy to either get involved in the juta churaoing thing or to lazy to flirt with the dulha's friends/brothers!
5. I can't get a plastic surgery done on my face which would: increase my height, increase my weight, make my voice more mellifluous isn't possible!!!
6. Due to the fact that till now my college was just a few blocks away from my house, I never really needed to travel in a car. So, I'd have to turn down any 'do-you-want-a-lift-home' offers from prospective boyfriends, which had I accepted, would definitely lead to a road in the middle of a jungle, where there's been no civilization since the dinosaurs, in the middle of the night and suddenly the car would break down, it would get stormy and start raining, the cell phone networks would go off too, and he and I'd be forced to camp in the jungle around a bonfire, eating fruits, me wearing his jacket to protect myself from rain and cold, and then there'll be a slow song playing in the background and we'd look into each other's eyes and realise the love we have for each other!!!
7. I don't cook, so no chances of us atta-kneading together in a very desi lift off from the Ghost!!!
8. I'm almost always on time everywhere....so I'm never missing trains!! So, no chances of meeting a rich industrialist on the way of our catching up the missed train who'd make sure I reach home safely after I miss my train because of him (Damn! I almost missed my flight from Washington to Mumbai 2 years back!! Shit, had Jab We Met released by then, I'd have not made the efforts to run for 20 minutes like a crazy woman at the Washington airport to catch my plane!)
9. No goondas ever chedo me when I'm with a guy...so no action scene where I'd go all spiderman, spiderman, here comes the spiderman in awe!!
10. (* Warning: Twilight special!*) And finally, the killer-est of all ideas. Literally! Because, 1) it's never cloudy all year round, 2)leave alone having rains all year round, we don't even have rains in the rainy season here, 3) the vast human population to tempt them, 4) the lack of widlife nearby, 5) it's so freaking sunny everyday , here, in Mumbai, that there are no chances of vampires being able to thrive here! So, here goes my chances of falling in love with a vegetarian vampire like Edward Cullen! And, because there are no vampires, there are no were-wolves to protect everyone from vampires....so here goes another consolation prize chance of hooking up with someone like Jacob Black. Just imagine, having 2 guys, one Edward and other Jacob first fighting each other for you and then fighting everyone else for you....you must really be a lucky b***h!!!

P.S: This post comes out in frustration of

1. Watching soaps right from Dill Mil Gaye, Miley Jab Hum Tum and the likes for over 6 months! (that's where the songs-playing-in-the-background idea comes from!)
2. Writing a Shakespearean tragedy in Elizabethan english for 14 hours and then, my team-mates asking me to put some comic relief in the play because it's way too serious!!! What do I tell such people?!?

Mindless Ramblings!

I'm blogging a lot these days! Maybe, I'm just making up for not talking. There's nothing much to talk these days is another thing. Anyways, I realised that I can be a big bitch if I really want to!! And, the thing about being a bitch is the instant gratification one gets! Nothing beats that feeling! But then, people do pay a price for not taking Shakespeare seriously..... Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!

 

But, like karma, whatever goes around comes around! You're bound to get a dose of your own medicine.... I realised this when, in a separate incident, I called up to wish my friend for his birthday and tried to make him rant a little....! (Please don't do this trick if your birthday comes after all your friends' !!!!), Yeah, just as the clock struck 12, I called up my friend and said, (caution: rated PG 13) "saale, kutte, kaminey, you're 21, you've not doped, not smoked, never gotten drunk, never flunked a test, never pataoed a girl.... you're such a wasted loser, get a life...and, Happy Birthday, by the way!" So, what I expected was another set of rants, but what I got was, "Your birthday comes in just another month and 16 days.....and I don't see you doing any of these things in the time you have, so shut up!!" Guess, I should really stick to just wishing people Happy Birthday! And, damn! why does my birthday come after everyone's birthday is done with!?!? And, by the way, I don't endorse doing any of the above things!

 

I'm really wondering what's wrong with Salman Khan? I just saw Maine Pyaar Kiya and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam yesterday, when after surfing all the channels on my TV for Jab We Met, I had to settle in to watch movies apart from my staple, JWM! So, when you watch these masterpieces, you just can't help wondering whatever happened to SK!! He used to act then, dance then, speak normal un-accented English then, talk by opening his mouth then....so now, what's the matter?!?!?! Try catching a promo of Wanted, you'll know what I'm getting at! My mamma says you love me, my pappa says you love me..... gosh!! A first grader can write better lyrics! And, both Ajay Devgan and SK are looking like Asin's uncles in London Dreams! Somehow, it seems like Jaaneman's sequel to me! Maybe, Asin is the baby all grown up now!

 

Now here's a list of films who's promos are better not seen:

1. Three: It's got bahu Kkusum in it...! And she's got Botox shots!! The songs suck, the starcast (Akshay Kapoor- the bald guy from the movie Alag and Aashish Choudhary) suck more!
2. Wada Raha: Bobby Deol and Kangana Ranaut in a song which is a cheap cross between Teri Ore and Suraj Hua Madham which goes like I promise...I promise!!!!
3. Dil Bole Hadippa: Rani Mukherji romancing Rakhi Sawant. Sherlyn Chopra (youtube her Outrageous video... you'll be enraged for life!!) and Shahid romancing mommy Rani. Do I need say more?
4. Blue: The Chiggy wiggy songs makes me ask where's AR Rahman of yore gone?!?! Why isn't he coming up with stuff like Roja, Bombay and Rangeela??
5. Do Knot Disturb: Seems like a Lara Dutta film festival's on!!
   

TV has definitely gone to the dogs! So has Facebook too. My only source for timepass! All people do is post whacky status updates (me included!) and other people like it...like sample this:

1. ABC was caught by an RTO officer for the first time. DEF likes this! What's to like in this? Feel bad for the poor guy!
2. GHI is happiiiieee. After 2 hours, GHI is saaaddd. After 2 more hours, GHI feels that her life succkkkss. The next morning, GHI believes that all's well that ends well. After 2 more hours, GHI is veryyy happieee! I give up trying to figure her state of mind and take back my offer to help!
3. JKL is singing/cooking/taking a bath/ sleeping with his/her gf/bf !! Spare us the horror, people!!
4. MNO (insert foreign language here)! I mean, why?!!? When everyone on your friend list follows only English, why on Earth is there a sentence in a language which is best understood by the Zulu tribe??

Then, there are some gems too. No sarcasms here!!

1. PQR thinks that love is when you start looking for the cheapest mobile plan! Me likes, me likes!!
2. STU is wondering why no one ever mentioned THINK no evil along with see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil! Me likes!! And then, VWX comments, No one even mentioned DO no evil!!!! Me ROFL!!!!
3. And the killer-est of all : YZ thinks that behind every beautiful girl is a dumbass guy who did her wrong and made her strong! The only stat-up I copied ever!!
   

P.S: Life sucks, and then you get engaged!!! First Irfan Pathan and now Imran Khan!?!? LIFE SUCKS!

Kaminey Review!! Worth the 160 buckf!!

Temperature- 98.6 F

Definitely no fever.

No swine flu symptoms too (anyways, I'd have been a medical marvel to get SF.... I'm at home since 19th April!)

Then how come two posts in three days?? Well, you're in for some good news... I'm in the mood for writing, so you're having another post so soon!!

You should never watch movies with your parents! They don't listen to you and shut you up and you can't even shout back! Now, I had this argument with my Dad who wanted to spend 160 bucks per ticket and I was fighting with him at the ticket counter, much to the amazement of the ticketwalla, who must've been seeing this behaviour for the first time...that a kid is asking a parent to not spend! I mean, I know Kaminey is a damned good movie..but 160 bucks!??! I'm not a miser, but I hate spending money where it's not required..... Gujju genes + MBA karne ki ichha... deadly combo!! Anyways, even though I am this zero maintenance person, I still don't have a boyfriend or guys interested in making me their girlfriend, so I really don't know what men really want! See, I'd be happy for a 8 o clock morning show on Vodafone Tuesdays too.... Any takers...?No....Still?!?! Damned life I have!

Now,we had gone to watch Kaminey.... the argument with Dad ensured we miss the beginning. And I didn't understand quite a bit in the first half of the movie so I was cursing all the critics and everyone who's been lisping since they've seen the movie. But, then, I called up my woman Friday (Aanchal, you sillies!) and asked her to enlighten me and my family.....who were all waiting for two years to end quickly so that I'm done with my MBA and get a job and shell out 640 bucks for the movie I got them to see! So, back to the movie.... I'm sure you've heard enough about it from the critics and all....and trust me, they were right....unlike the last time when they went horribly wrong about Oye Lucky..... Lucky Oye...!! It's a fantaftic movie!! Yeah, the reft of the blog poft haf been a victim of lifping!

The background score (the lisped version is well..umm, nevermind!) is fantaftic! Be it Dhan te na adding the spice to the narrative or Duniya main....the mufic is awefome, the acting is mindblaftingly good.... Amole Gupte is brilliant as Bhope Bhau and his Jai Maharashtra (I'm not lisping here!!) thing waf pretty good! Priyanka haf been a wonderful revealtion fince Fashion. And what do I fay about my dear Fhahid!!!! I'm just crying over the fact that why I'm not a Punju... had I been one, I too, would be around guys like (Fhahid, Ranbir, Kunal) Kapoor.... or at leaft guyf who're tall, handfome and again handfome! But, I loved Charlie than Guddu....yeah you gueffed it right... I'm a little off candy floff romance thefe dayf. Charlie waf mean, and you know how our elderf have alwayf been right about all good girlf falling for the bad guy! Charlie in that fhower ftrumming the guitar with Duniya main logo ko playing in the background had me speechleff and dif-oriented for quite fome time. OK. Enough of ftuff for the girlf. I liked Priyanka's character a lot. The entire I-am-pregnant-what-do-we-do-now scene is, according to me one of the beft scenes in Indian cinema!! The way she handled the role.... speaking Marathi et al..... and she didn't even have Marathi as a compulsory language in 10th....hatf off to her for pulling it off so convincingly!!! All I can speak in Marathi after ftudying it for feven yearf is "Mala marathi naahi aate!" which is alfo, wrong Marathi! But Bhope Bhau...pleafe....Jai Maharashtra... don't throw me out because I can't speak Marathi... I'm like the fugar...diffolved in the milk!!!

All in all, TOTALLY RECOMMENDED. Pleafe watch it afap! And now, this para is dedicated to all the moronf who didn't get the movie. One fuch (the last letter of the word is H. So don't mis-read) moron waf sitting behind me who joked with hif friend that the director should've given the audience a written script so that they could understand the movie! How I wanted to turn around and maro a witty remark....but...family's presence...so I didn't!! Then, there are other geniuses too...my fifter's (sister!) friendf.... they didn't undersftand the movie even when they had reached the movie theatre much before even the commercialf began. I really feel like telling them "Abey Degree phad ke phek do, bloody engineerf... err...forry... SE ftudentf!" But I wonder if they're not getting a movie... how do they understand engineering!?!? Our country-people's IQ is going below Paris Hilton's!! What a fhame! If you don't underftand the movie, mail me.... I'll explain!

P.S : Moral of the story until next post: Listen to your parents. They're always right... 160 bucks well spent!!! No regrets!

P.P.S: Line of the song till next post: Tanhayee ne fursat di hain...pehli baar mohabbat ki hain!! Killer line!!! I'm back to my liking-candy-floss romance self!!!

P.P.P.S: I know I can be hanged till death for saying this, but I really want to watch What's Your Rashee.... you know, the Libran girl is shown to be a big boss at an MNC!!! No wonder why I want to see it!!! What...did you actually think I wanted to see Harman.... craffffffffffffffffyyyy or what!?!?!?

Haven't Got The IQ To Name This One!

I feel so cut off from the blogosphere and my blog these days! Trust me, I deleted 6 first paras already!! I don't know how I want to begin! I'm irritated with the social networking sites too. I acquiesce with Lucky... Orkut, really is for stalkers and perverts, and also for people who have the IQ of Paris Hilton to not understand Facebook!!! Facebook, too, after a time, gets boring.... I mean, come on for how long are you gonna keep taking stupid quizzes that prove that you do have the IQ of PH, even though you do understand Facebook. (Yeah, I still take these quizzes....like you had to doubt if my IQ was anything great!!). I joined Twitter too. But I fail to understand why people call it the 'next big thing'. I don't see it like that...it's just about okay... !!

So, what do you do when you're bored of all these social networking sites? You switch on you TV and hope there's something watch-able being aired on TV. But, unfortunately all you can see is people eating worms, insects and other reptiles and arthropods, or bathing in a bikini...actually 'bikini' is also a very heavily clothed term for what those celebs wear.... or people being truthful. Let's begin with Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao.... It's the crassiest show on TV today. Period. I'm not gonna write more on it. I think, that the sets of Sach Ka Saamna should have a divorce lawyer and a police inspector on their sets...it'll make things easier for the participants and the society at large. I feel bad for the participants... they don't get anything if they miss one right answer.... they ruin their marriages and don't even get the money....not even of the levels they clear.....tch tch...! I used to really love MTV and Channel V....but all I can see there are the re-runs of Splitsvilla, Teen Diva or the Stunt Mania.... And Channel V's Xhausted is just pissing off. Why people participate in these shows is beyond my IQ! These shows are at least bearable... try watching Bindass' Dadagiri..... trust me, you'll my mentally marred forever! It beats me why there can't be more shows like Dance India Dance and India's Got Talent. The latter is by far the best show since Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai got over. Though, I'm really looking forward to Farah Khan's new show starting today.

And, if you're still alive and bored after all this, you can spend some time downloading songs. I spent an unbelievable 3 hours downloading What's Your Rashee's music....13 songs!! Only to hear songs like Su Che! Trust me, I'd rather listen to Himmesh on repeat!!! Till now, I always felt the lack of songs that have Gujju words in them... but, if songs are gonna be like Su Che.... then, please spare me horror!!!! Please use Punjabi in Hindi songs...the combo suits... Gujarati in Hindi songs make you feel like throwing up! Try imagining Mauja hi Mauja in Gujarati....! Deadlier than H1N1. Now, there are only 3 songs I liked in the entire WYR album... Jao Na (superb song!! I guess it's gonna rule the charts!), Bikhri Bikhri and the title song. The music of Wake Up Sid, just like it's lead actor is HOTTT! Amazing music. Be it the title track or Kya Karoon or Iktara... the entire album is super duper cool! (It's not Ranbir's love that's making me write this!). More Saiyyan from Tere Sanng is also a nice one. But the songs of the season have to be Aahun Aahun and Yeh Dooriyan!!!

So, the best bet to beat boredom still remains social networking sites...!! Am off to Facebook now, taking more quizzes and irrtating everyone on my friend list by my incessant status updates... yeah, I'm too lazy to switch tabs and use Twitter for microblogging!!! Yeah, Facebook reminds me of this status update one of my friend has put up and it says... Behind every beautiful girl is a dumbass guy who did her wrong and made her strong!!! I couldn't disagree more!!! I'll leave you with this noble thought...till next time, listen to Jao Na... (never mind the Baweja boy and PC's weird pout!)

I'm Making A Movie!!!

I was discussing with Aanchal on how the 'asking outs' would take place in the story I'm writing and she suggested a faadu idea. Trust girls to come up with the most innovative ways of how a guy should ask a girl! Wish it was the other way round and the guys were innovative.... or at least, leave alone being innovative, atleast ask in the first place! But, such is life dearies!! Urrgghh, I'm digressing from the topic again. So, after that both of us checked the promo of Wake Up Sid and needless to say, both of us are fighting over Ranbir now! That's when the genius idea struck me... why not make a movie of the story I'm writing (OK, Aanch, I'll give you the credit of suggesting that I go to Ekta Kapoor!)

And my idle mind just needed a topic to start going berserk! Then I was there... visualing my story come to life. I finalised the lead actors for Anay and Arjun.... and again, you are not gonna get a free trip to Hawaii to guess who they are! It's Imran Khan and Ranbir Kapoor!! Now, there's been a lot of debate on who'll be Arjun and who'll be Anay..... but well, I'm the screenplay writer-dialogue writer-writer-director so I guess, it should be my call on who'll be whom. I say Arjun would be Ranbir....because I personally like Arjun and I'd definitely choose Ranbir over Imran!! ....and Anay'd be played be Imran. Then, though she doesn't believe me, the first person I thought for playing Ahaana was Aanchal. She's the best choice for Ahaana! She's tall, she's pretty, she can make a guy dance to her tunes, she herself can dance around tress for the movie and she can cry.....so I can cust costs on the glycerine! So, my movie's a love story between Imran, Ranbir and Aanchal! Kya kismat hain.... she has Imran and Ranbir romancing her!!

Then comes the financing the movie part. I got a couple of interesting ideas for it... like... selling sugar and tur dal. But, Vinod, rightly mentioned that to sell, I'll need to first BUY them... and that'll cost me a bomb! So, dropped this idea. Then I went to a couple of friends asking them to finance the movie...but the useless friends that I have.... no one agreed! Ankita said she'd finance but she'd want to be the heroine! I had to placate her by giving her an item number! Yeah, there's an item song in the movie and Ankita's willing to do it along with Fatema. (I haven't asked Fatty, but I'm sure she'll agree). And I so love Anki's dedication... she's already started practising for the item song! She also offered to sing the item song...but I guess, she rather just dance! Then, Ajay also wanted a role... and he grabbed the item girls pe seeti bajane wala boy's role even before I offered him! And he's also the guy Ahaana shouts at when he spits on the road. And considering the fact that the scene's gonna be between Ajay and Aanchal, needless to say, Aanchal will even slap Ajay for old times' sake!! Lucky, Mansh, Hetvi.... there are other roles you guys might be interested in 1) Devika, 2)Arjun's sister 3)Navya.... err sorry, I'll be a little biased here and give Navya's role to Radhika...on whom it's partly modelled! Yeah...there's one more role of Anay's third girlfriend ....maybe one of you could pick that up. Hurry! Offer till stocks last!! And Ankit.... you're the camera guy! As always! So come back to Mumbai!

But the main concern still remains! How shall I get the movie produced?!? Ajay came up with a brilliant idea. He suggested that we shoot the item song first and then release an IPO of it...Ankita can sure manage that for us...talk about dancing in an item song and managing an IPO....she's my super-woman! He also had more explicit ideas for the item song, for which he's definitely gonna be slapped for!! In no ways are they gonna wear Negar Khan's clothes from Iss Jungle se Mujhe Bachao!! Rao wanted to do a male item number... but sorry... you'll have to be content with seeti bajaoing. And, I'll have Kunal Kapoor play Anir.... Radhika loves him anyway!! So my star-cast is finalised! Story's done! The music.....umm.... I guess, I'll catch hold of someone for that... Ankita and Fatty can do they choreography too...and what else... I guess, this is all you need to make a movie, right??

P.S: Aanch, if you're not gonna show any interest in my movie or if you're not gonna be as kicked about it as I am, then I'll kick you out of the movie! Be excited...you have Imran and Ranbir romance you!!! I can actually kill you for it, you know!!

P.P.S: Ajay, the item song's not Maahi Ve from Kaante (I know you want it to be slow and long, but dude, NO!!). It's not Mujhe pyaar ki chatni chakha de piya like Aanch wants it. Neither is it Latka dikha diya tumne...taddaaa like Anki wants! It'll be something like beedi jalai le....jigar maa badi aag hain types!!!

Anyone interested in the movie, please let me know!!

That Geet Wali Feeling....

1. I don't feel like blogging
2. I don't feel like writing my story
3. I feel my blogs have lost whatever 'charm' it had... I can feel the change and trust me, what I'm writing these days is CRAP in bold!
4. My social life has gone to a sub zero level (Like there was any to begin with)
5. I'm not replying to calls/messages/scraps/ comments on my blog because there's nothing I've gotta say to them!
6. My friends have semi-banned me. They don't pick up my calls. (I may not reply to calls, but I do make new ones!)
7. I'm doing whatever work I'm given at home (my parents are happily surprised!)
8. I don't come online much these days
9. I'm suffering from a reader's block
10. I've started caring and thinking about what people think of me...something I've always given a fuck about.
11. I'm listening to songs at full volume on my iPod.....just so that I don't have to listen to my inner vioces or any other voices... and now, I'm 69% deaf from my intial 33% deafness levels.
12. I don't know why I'm writing this and worse still, why you're STILL reading this.
    

I exactly feel like what Geet said in Jab We Met.... which was something like "ek ajeeb sa darr lag raha tha.... bechaini si, jaise kuch galat ho raha hain, jaise koi train chut rahi hain" Precisely what I'm feeling these days. And it hurts my ego to discuss my problems with people... I just like to take my 'time offs' and sort them on my own..... I hope people can put up with me.... if you can, I promise to be back soon, in my normal loquacious self. Till then, Auf Wiedersehen.

LAK Review

Whoever says that a wounded knee is better than a broken heart? I really wanna meet that loser! You can at least walk without a limp with a broken heart!I've still not learnt walking without tripping, but I pride myself by never really falling. But, today I fell twice and tripped once in a span of 3 hours and hurt my right knee in the same place both the times!And God, that hurts! And there wasn't even an Edward Cullen to prevent me from falling! Fact sucks....Fiction rocks!!! I'll take a broken heart any day, at least the pain ain't evident to others! (Jokes apart, I'll take wounded knees and even broken elbows in exchange for a normal, unbroken heart!!)

 

I saw Love Aaj Kal, second day, first show! And it's strictly okay. I didn't like it much. In the first 15 minutes of the movie, I was whispering to Aanchal if it's the same Imitiaz Ali who's made Socha Na Tha and Jab We Met making this excuse for a movie! The only reason I saw LAK was Imitiaz Ali ( I HATE Saif and Deepika, BTW) and my undying love for the two movies he had made earlier. But this one will disappoint people. Especially the ones who've been on a staple diet of SNT and JWM. (Read me!)

 

Firstly, Saif doesn't look cool trying to do a Geet here. Guys who blabber unnecessarily aren't cute! Deepika can't act. Well, she was awesome in that Close-Up's Kya-aap-close-up-karte-haiiynn ad, but her awesomeness ended with that 30 sec ad! The problem with the movie was that the love story between Saif and Deepika didn't get time to develop.... maybe that's why the movie wasn't that great. The songs too, interrupt with the movie, not flowing effortlessly like they did in SNT and JWM. And Rahul Khanna is WASTED.... I mean he'd have been better than Saif playing Saif.

 

If you've seen all the three Ali movies, you can figure out that the basic story lines of all the three movies have been same... guy meets girl, they meet knowing they'd never meet again, have a gala time in that time because it ain't coming back, go their ways, get sad and sing amazingly woebegone songs, realise their love for the other when one of them is getting married! This seemed so aaawwww-sssoooo-cuutteee in SNT and JWM, but here, it's constipated!

Gosh! Seems like I've done a PhD in Imitiaz Ali movies! That's what happens to you if you're a compulsive JWM and SNT watcher and watch it everytime it comes on TV.

 

The only moments I enjoyed in the movie were the song Dooriyan, the sometimes-present-sometimes-past storyline (reminds me of the story I'm writing!!), the line Saif says when he's dropping a drunk Deepika home and when Deepika cries to herself in the climax when Saif finally comes to express his feelings. God, this scene was the best scene in the entire movie! And also when Neetu Kapoor appears in the end as Harleen Kaur.... as Rishi Kapoor's wife.... just an after thought....couldn't they have shown Ranbir as their son too, arey puri family picture ban jati....with bahu and bhatiji's boyfriend and all!!!

Go, watch it, only if you've got nothing else to do, but if you're a die hard Imitiaz Ali fan, DON'T GO!

 

P.S: Harini, I'll do the tag soon!
