Delhi 6

Rakesh tries to do a different task like everytime but this time its not so convincing..With Delhi and 'kala bhandar' or 'monkey man' as backdrop, he tries to tell a story about hindu muslim,casteism,bribery and how a human fails to identify the god within him and dismisses the fakir who shows mirror to see the ram or allah within us..But the story takes too long to come to the actual plot..Several stories run parallelly and we forget the main plot of the movie and the message he wants to convey is unclear.

Abhishek is adorable..The climax was total bizzare though..Only because he dint want to have a sad ending like his previous..I also thought the neighbourhood bhai-bhai rishta exists only in Indian cinema and nowhere else..The music works wonders for the movie which is nicely woven and never feel out of place though theres a dozen..Overall the movie doesnt leave a lasting impression like the 'rang de effect'..

MY RATING: ***

i cant believe the 6th picture on 6th folder is really this one..i definetely thought it would be one with someones face but it isnt..(i dont get an oppurtunity to lie..not even in my blog)..thanks perplexed for tagging me :) i got something to write about..

THE DESCRIPTION: This picture was taken on 17th october 2008 in halebidu which happened to be the first day of our so called 'industrial trip' which was total fun..we dint visit any industry in our trip..we visited a whooping 14 amazing places in just 4days..from beaches to falls to temples to hills to trek..we had it all..and have memories we will treasure forever..

Halebidu has finely carved scrulptures of gods and goddesses and dipictions from hindu mythology..it is now being proposed for UNESCO world heritage center..hence there is large scale security..we cannot sit on any animal statues..a guard chases us with a stick..yes we were chased..i was surprised by the lack of good hotels and toilets there..considering the hot shot tourist spot it is..we headed to belur from here..and ended day1 in shringere..

buzz..

personality development programs are a total waste..yes i realised after attending as many as a fool would take to understand something as complicated as freaky trignometry(i loved it though)..i did 108 suryanamaskaras on the D-day..and was on cloud 9 then..but i m back now..i have not decided what i ll be doing after graduation(which is very close)..i would have definitely thought of civil service had it not been for reservations..you law makers are depriving the bright ones who end up joining the private sector and hence you have the not so great people writing the public sector exams..i dont know when the rule will be made fair..reservations for those who are really in need of it and purely based on economic status and not caste and creed..i m tagged by perplexed..and thats going to be next post :)

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!)
