Random thoughts

I saw Raaj-The Showman a week back..First a quick review- extremely overhyped terrible movie...Nisha Kothari badly needs a portion from some yogic guru which can make her do something like acting..Power star Puneets close ups are shocking as usual..May be Prem deleted the scene during editing which said Puneet was a superhero..gets boring in between due to excessive fights..But I was having a laugh riot throughout the movie and I dint even walk out of the movie..More because I spent just 20Rs for the movie..Now if you are thinking where on earth will I pay this much for a movie..Let me tell you there still is a place on this planet..Its called "Sri Talkies"...Not in Bangalore but..Its in a town called Sagara..

The theatre has special facilities for women like direct entry to ticket counter without standing in queue probably due to the overwhelming response by women folk..No seat numbers..Rule is to hop on the seat top..Viewers can enjoy the fan which is in almost working condition..Unbroken chairs..Rats and mouses playing hide and seek in the huge unlit playground...My cousin and I were the lucky ones who not just watched the movie but also got out of the theatre uninjured successfully..All the fun and adventure for just Rs20 :)

Sagara is a small town about 380kms from Bangalore which happens to be my native..I have spent my entire vacations here right from my childhood..Its like my second home..A lot of places to see nearby, very famous being Jog falls..Sigandur, Honnemaradu, Holebagilu, Ikkeri, Keladi,varadalli are few others..It falls in the Western Ghats in Malnad region which is more known for the heavy rainfall..Though rainy season is the best time to visit Jog Falls, its tough to navigate places in this season..The roads get clogged due to rains and the rains here never stop..It sometimes rains for 3-4 days continuously nonstop..But thats the beauty here..Family bonding is at its peak here..I have had some of the fondest memories here :D

Kaminey

This is a tough film- tough to see, tough to comprehend, tough to judge...In between lot of confusion arises may be due to dialogue delivery which goes over the head...Also we have to keep track of many characters..
The story is nothing unusal- 2 brothers, 1 good and 1 bad..loved each other in childhood..then hated each other..good one has a girl..they resolve the differences..bad one turns good..and movie ends...What to look out for is the same story told in a totally different style..
Camerawork is stunning, music is exceptional especially Dan-da-naa..Shahid is outstanding though I dint get many of his sentences..He looked great throughout the movie..Priyanka tries something new as usual and is a treat..
Also due to the swine flu epidemic we wore surgical mask to the movie hall..It was extremely funny trying to squeeze in pop corn into the mouth..
MY RATING: ***(a 1 time see)

Watch dog urf security guard

When people in my entire locality sleep, I Sheela Jayaprakash pledge to stay awake all night and guard my house and its vicinity to the best of my ability..I would like to thank the people who devised these 5 games (in top down order of my priority) and helped me to successfully implement my self imposed task..

• Spider solitaire 4 suit
  Yes its very tough to win but the joy when all cards stack up the pile at the end is a bliss..worth all the restart-game button pressed...
  
  

• Crayon physics
  Objects drawn in a crayon gets life, animates and follows principles of Physics.. Dont worry about the complicated laws of Newton or Einstein..just bascic rules..
  
  

• Icy Tower
  Totally aimless...I m quite sure no one can finsh..Uses just left, right and space keys..yet so engrossing and fun to play..
  
  

• Minesweeper
  This always topped the list until I found word racer..something so unique that very few people actually know to play this..similar to loop-the-loop in TOI..Vista doesnt give top scorer name and I m highly upset..
  
  

• Word racer
  Yes this online game by Yahoo tops the list..Its similar to Boggle fun in reality..Making words from a web based alphabets is best for those who love to play with letters..One advice is to never ever play online with those in lounge because you are destined to lose..Also it follows a dictionary from other planet,Jupiter I guess, since it definitely has more words than any other dictionary on planet Earth..so try making crap words in case you fall short of it..

Delhi Chennai Trip

 

Ten days of sheer fun and bonding..From shopping in Sarojini, Lajpat and tachy chandni chowk at 41 degress to relaxing beachside with novel in hand at Taj Fishermen's Cove..Late night gossip with movie, exotic places, out of the world food, excessive shopping..The difference after arrival is an extra kilos only in me and extra baggage fare..

Cheers!!

A brand new Honda CR-V....Rs 22,92,000

A family trip abroad.....Rs 8,40,000

A diamond ring that you craved.....Rs 4,60,000

The joy of learning algorithms, formulae, programs, circuits, dancing to the tunes of our HOD and finally being graded Engineer is........"PRICELESS"

There are some things money cant buy..

For everything else theres Daddy..

PS:- For all those who celebrated this joy..Cheers..

Harry Potter and Half Blood Prince

The book was amazing..Its one of my favourites..The movie is disappointing..Expectation from David Yates was high especially after Order of Phoenix which was a boring book turned to an exciting movie..The keenness and fervour dies down when nothing happens in the first half of the movie and the characters are still trying to figure out what has to be done..The actual story of half blood prince is missing and some questions unanswered..But I must say the cinematography was spectacular just the way I imagined..But do read the book before going to movie otherwise you are clueless in the entire movie..

MY RATING: *** (watch it if you dont want to break your record of watching all HP movies)
