Saw 'tomorrow' for a tuesday, on a tuesday !!
In the midst of 'a' Extremly hectic and 'rushy' week i went to see "A Wednesday", and i am very happy that i did. (Im marvelling at how all my posts come when i watch somethin...)
Though its almost a month since the release of this film, it still has around 2-3 shows daily at many screens here. And this speaks volumes about the succes and/or the connect the story has with the Mumbaikars, especially considering the days of the "global crisis" and the "finiancial meltdown", "burning huge holes in the pockes of" not only the national treasuries but also the 'stupid common man' (Oh! what 'cliched jargon'......oh gosh another cliche......OHNO whats
happening?) ..................listening to and reading such news every day; these words have become "embedded" (OOPS another cliche for Electronics Engineers !!) in our day to day phrases, and flow out almost instantaneously; subconsiously.
Loosing track of what i initially started out with, i once more return to a wednesday. With strong performances by 1 and all (yes... even the news reporter, reminded me some what of the Grand Stand host... :P), the marvelous twist in the tail, this provides a very practical, a bit radical, approach to crush terrorism. The stupid common man, taking time out of his daily routines, has suggested stopping terrorism arising from attempts rescuing former terrorists by "thoko"fying them once caught....... not at all a new solution, but yes A wednesday made it compelling.....
My bro...(yes he was with me again !) said that THIS film should have been named 'HELLO' and not some other one, simply because the entire plot revolves around a telephone conversation....
Hmmm.......different people different ideas........different here even goes to the extent that there might be people taking inspiration from the 'phoney connections' plan to try and hack the telecom networks......
(im now remembring my pct topic of movies as a "2-WAY mirror of society")...................
.................................and if i continue any further ill be entangling so many social issues in a single post itself that......................................................................
.........ill be violating a very famous B-concept : K.I.S.S. (Keep It Short, Stupid!!)...........AAH.....
this is like the famous G.M. (Green Machine) concept in the famous M.S.D. class in college.......
BYE !!!

Rock a by baby........
After really hectic weeks i finally got some time out, and watched the highly acclaimed ROCK ON !!......i normaly am not into evaluating movies publicly but its the situation that i was in that prompted me to type out here.
13/9/2008 , 8:00 was the show; and my bro and i reached there at 815 thinking that we had missed the beginning....and i really hate it( no paisa vasool u know)...however having stepped in--to our much delight-- the promo of 'Karzz' had just got over (pun unintended) .......and we setteled down to enjoy the rocking time.
Almost instantly we got a call from home sounding a word of caution -about the serial bomb-blasts RoCkInG Delhi. It was basically like- take care and come back as soon as possible but the bottom line was ull shouldnt have gone today......leaving the worry and all aside; one thing i cant get right is what exactly are we, in specific, and the public in general supposed to do in a situation like that?? The 'national capital' rocking away and the tremors of terror shaking up mumbai.....
I feel that pondering and debating such issues and situations is important ; the main thing is to carry on with life and ROCK ON !!
Even though i am a self admitted zilch at music and not at all pedantic about rOcK music particularly, i must say (i am saying infact) that its struck some chord somewhere....i enjoyed the racy music and the classy performances; of especially Adi and KD....
More praise for the film are to be kept for some other time..... Until then....
NaNa...na....na..na.nana....na..na........
(hope to have got the beat right)

An Ode to "The Shops"
Last week i went to shop
and now that i stop-
and think, i wonder how it waz.
And hence this ode
to the fare on linking road.
Where; along the crowded street,
jostle many a thousand feet-
getting the trendiest of their wares.
The variety of the goods
catches even the reluctant's mood,
and with everyone in the groove;
its very difficult even to move.
Loaded till ones heart's content
begins the time worth every cent-
cauz its no use later to repent
on the prices spent;
Fickel as the stock market.
Both drive a hard bargain,
but in the end it has to be everybody's gain.
after loads of haggling
You cant avoid smirking,
But the keen eye catches-
even the shopkeeper smirking.
This takes me dear
to the point i think u'll fear.....
If both are happy with the deal,
How much were the articles actually worth?
my mind still beats,
asking- are they all cheats??
