Luck by chance

it has a good storyline but script could be revised and made much better..the story picks up only after interval...no character is likeable because no one is 'nice ideal types'..it shows that everyone has a selfish dark side to themself..i think the moral of the movie was "if acting is your dream then be ready to act in a theatre or serial or small budget movies..but if being superstar is your dream then luck is necessary,be a little wicked,dont value relationships and just move on"

farhan's characterisation is a little disappointing..he looks confused ..neither is he is working towards being a actor (and waiting for luck) nor is he sure who he is in love with..suddenly realises his mistakes when srk says a few lines..konkana is her usual stereotypical role..isha sharvani is not supposed to act according to the script and hence has done a brilliant job in her barbie like awtaar..hrithik what are you doing here? do more movies..we ll definitely come to watch you as a 'hero'or even 'superhero'... rishi kapoor is hilarious and dimple is good as well..zoya you need a crash course from your bro..

MY RATING: ***(watch at your own risk)

Welcome!!

This welcome is a little late to my new fishes which are a week old..actually i had plans to get a pug or something more adorable than fish..but i have no say at home regarding pets..fishes are by far most easily maintainable,economical species which can be dimly classified as pets..the downside is that i cant pamper them,cuddle them or even recognise them for that matter..4 of them are so similar that they are beyond my recognitiion..

i felt hopeless when my cousin said they have a memory of about 5-15 secs..i was so happy thinking my fishes can probably recognise me now..they cant be like 'dora' or 'sanjay singhania' to have short term memory loss..they have to be like 'nemo'..

i tried to take nice pictures but since they are constantly moving this is all i could take..long live my fishes :) and all fishes on earth :)

PS: turn sasyahaari to all non vegges..

Wayanad

Its a perfect weekend getaway from bangalore..just 250kms away...can drive well within 6hrs..wayanad is a district in northern kerala..all the sight seeing places are around 30kms from the city..there are around 6-7 tourist spots..but we could cover just 5..

The bus arrived 1hr late due to the diesel strike and we finally left bangalore at 9pm in a so called 'executive rajahamsa' bus which took its own time, stopped anywhere and everywhere..and we 4 girsls couldnt ask for better seats than the last row for our so called 1day old planned trip...At 3am we reached our resort and surprisingly it was great...We took a short nap and started our day tour..Our first destination was Kuruwa island,a wonderful place where we spent a good 4hour trek..we had an extremely annoying and funny 'honeymoon couple' accompanying us...had yummy pucca malayali lunch and went to Banasura dam where we took a motor boat ride and captured great pictures..came back tired,sat by the poolside,played some silly games and soon fell asleep...

Got ready early morning, hogged on free buffet breakfast and left to Suchipara waterfalls...may be not the season and the falls looked like a culmination of water falling from 5-6 taps..but we enjoyed the journey to falls via harrison tea estate..Next was Edkkal caves which has rocks and some inscriptions on some rocks..a bit of trek to be done to reach there..since there was no guide anywhere,we had to assume our own history of the carvings..Then had a decent meal and left to huge 700sq ft Muthanga wildlife sanctury...it was a great dissappoint considering the amount we paid for the jeep ride inside...we couldnt see a single animal apart from a few deers...But you cant expect wild animals to come out and say hi to us in their natural habitat...then back to our rooms and packed our bags...The trip came to an end so soon...We did miss 2 more tourist destinations a lake and another falls..Nevermind..My dad always says that if you dont leave some places you will never have interest to visit the same place again...

haage summane VS slumdog millionaire

yeah 2 movies back to back...


1. Haage Summane-unfortunately eshwari(tops the list for 'break me and make me a multiplex')...but i m glad i went there and spent just 50bucks....the 2 faces are just poster faces...basically story is like a combo of mungaru male and galipata and so are the locations and songs...hopelessly boring and quite a torture...so had to ask the pop corn guy the climax and walk out of the theatre just after interval haage summane..thinking i can make a much better one...
MY RATING: **(being ex-ex-extremely generous..dont know why!)



2. Slumdog Millionaire-yeah managed to see it even before its release..thanks to piracy here...its the story about a boy grown up in Dharvi,Mumbai who ends up in the hot seat of the famous 'who wants to be a millionaire' show..it talks about love,relationship,hard reality..each chapter in his life reveals the answer to each question posed...highly commendable performance by all characters...
MY RATING: ****(its different!)

Ghajini

i know its too late..but still i ll voice my opinion..this review in based on the fact that i havent seen it any other languages..

its basically an old style movie revenge for his gal's death(otherwise maa or baap's) but real worth to see aamir khan..his much hyped 8packs..any channel shows steps he followed to get his body..some natural forces defying stunts by aamir..the movie thrives in a place which lacks judiciary of any form..the entire movie has just 1 cop..asin is fresh with chirpy and vivacious character..wont get bored anytime in 3hrs..gripping..and make sure you take a set of tissue if you are a shed tears kinda person..
rare movie where the title is after the villian..
music is just good..not rahman's best for sure..

MY RATING : **** (go for it)

Top 10 career dreams of my life:

1. Teacher(a)-from what i can recollect,my first dream..and probably most of ours..

2. Miss World/Universe(d)-cant believe i used to say this!! sadly i did..

3. Actress(a)-i dont know if 2 and 3 are same or different..but considering the fact that when i nourished this dream i regarded the two as different i ll number accordingly..but seriously asking who doesnt want fame,money,popularity and adulation?

4. Police(d)-i think highly inspired by kannada movies i wanted to be the one in khakhi..

5. Astraunaut(h)-wanted to be one even when i dint know to spell it..fantasised flying in air like a super heroine,visiting moon for vacations,..

6. Doctor(d)-white robes,stethescopes,saving lives seemed like a cake walk then..but soon realised its intricacies,dedication required,size of the books and gave up..

7. Director(a)-i can definitely make much better movies than most of the overhyped excess budget movies releasing..its almost same as 2 but bonus would be i need not be pretty and in toned shape..Also age is not a criteria..which means i still have a lot of scope..

8. Jounalist(a)-travel show hosting,1 on 1 interviews with celebs,food cannoisseur..i m ready to settle even cookery show..

9. Fashion Designer(h)-i love creative work though i not very good at it..

10.Lawyer(a)-very much in awe of dad..not just because its a family profession but also because of its power,belief in the system and future prospects of being a politician...can demark this from the rest because there was an effort put to become one...

d-dead dream
a-still alive dream
h-half dead half alive

Needless to say, very unfortunate i have still not landed up in any of the careers of my choice..but as you can see the a's there are still many openings...

my second

I m back to my blog after exactly 494 days..i created this space the day i saw someones extremely colourful blog and decided i ll write regularly as well..that zeal and crave died the next day itself and i forgot i even had one..

there are reasons for not blogging:

1.i thought blogging is for those frustrated souls who disguise themselves to be happy but are actually bored to death in their lives..
2.i had no time the entire year..(refer to my next post)
3.i have no creativity to glorify an event and write pages about it..

my new year resolution:

1.if not a post, i ll visit my blog once in a while..

hope my second stinct at blogging lasts for sometime atleast..
