Ghajini ..... The 3 hr ordeal.

Get some b grade mallu director from the south, add a lot of background noise on every movement of the hero (may b, even when the hero pees add some sound effects that of a fighter aircraft swooshing by), add some gravity abusing stunts and to wrap up the paraphernalia, add a little bit of pelvic thrusted dance sequences. Alas!!!! There u have, Ghajini!!! Atrocious is the only word that echoes out from me when i recollect that 3 hour awful ordeal while watching Ghajini. 10 minutes down the movie and my ears were hurting from the loud backgrounds scores.Half way down the movie i put forth a conundrum to my friend who was going through the same anguish that i was in.....R we in an Amir Khan starred movie??? or rather, damm, we r in an amir khan starrerd movie, the same actor who was there in TZP.

I can understand that Amir must have been fooled when he heard the story. The director must have provided him with a dvd of theflick, Memento ,and informed that they would be doing a remake of the same movie. Little did he know that the movie would be made with a tollywood touch. What in the world was Amir thinking when he was being directed? Some of the most interesting scenes, i believe are the fight sequences at the end of the movie when the goons of the main villan are being hurled one after the other in the air.The hurling went to such an extent that amir boxes one of the goons and that goon forgets to land on the ground for few seconds, and is in mid air taking revolutions. Finally when he lands on the ground he is supposed to be dead with his head being twisted 180 degrees. That was one amazing fight sequence which i believe, Rajnikant would definitely be proud off!!!! Gaaaad is great!!! Then there is one death defying stunt at the end where Amir is carry a rod in his stomach and all of a sudden he gets the power to fight the villan back.May be the director had the "Sehwag ki ma"commercial in his mind and forgot to direct that scene. Yeh, and let me tell you he is alive at the end even though he had a rod pierced in his stomach!!!! Happzzzz Endingssss!!

Ohh, i forgot to tell u abt the 2 females in the movie. Asin, a petit female from the south who has been told by the director to act as loud as possible and not to keep a single stone unturned as far as overacting goes. She has acted to the expectations. And i THINK there is a second female in the movie.... let me remember, is she really there? I guess, this is the affect of the short term memory loss which Amir is suffering from and i guess inflicts his viewers with, by the end of the movie. How can i miss the music given by A.R Rehman. He has lost it!!!

I guess the movie would have been more interesting if both Amir and Asin had short term memory loses and even Asin had names inscribed on her body ...... lol. To make it more intersting what if both became enemies of each other thinking that the other one has killed the other.....muhahhahaha!!!

If the director is interested in a Ghajini part 2, what would the story be? Help me in digging this out!!!!!!

Random thoughts

Few things i wish to do before i say Dasvidanya to this world - perform on stage with a band, me on my guitar(with a decent number of audience), don a Jason Statham look from death race, to be more precise,don tat toned built, a moment when i would say "kaise, bhoolun, saatva jo din aaya kisi ne, tumse, ik party mein milwaayakaisa, pal tha, jis pal maine tumko pehli baar dekha tha" :) :)

Ok, coding for this functionality is a piece of cake for me!!

Wow, the song is really good.

I have to make up my mind and go to the gym today. Goddam, its the day when i workout my legs!!!! I will forget wot"G" told me and wont be lazy today like yest!!!
Yaeeeeeeeee, 4 days of a short vacation from tomorrow. May be i ll watch Gajhini. But would it be good? As in I know the story because have seen Memento. Can a movie get any better than that?Gotta plan for an airing of Deshdrohi!!! How can i miss that movie??
Already missed Gunda at Aseem's place.

Ye recession kab khatam ho jayega!!!

When muscles emote - Hailaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Statutory warning: The post has been written in a mood of utter boredom. Read it at your own risk. The author is not reponsible for the aftereffects which could involve hysterically castigating the author.

I wake up 10 ish on a Sunday morning and get ready to hit the gym, it being my fav day of workout, the CST day (chest, shoulder, triceps).The last time I had gone thru it, I had decided that I would increase the weights the nxt time i get to CST. Mornings are not that fun at the gym. With lousy music being played accompanied by the presence of some gossip monger aunties, here there and everywhere :), the evironment is more like a kitty party. But i promise to change that gloomy environment by playing some my kinda music,some good groovy music gelled with some rock music that would shake their wits out and even they wud b compelled to workout ;). So there i go sorting out the music and writing a disc.

One of my friends recently asked me as to how do i daily work out and she felt it to b really boring. Music is the mantra my friend :).Sometimes when i m on the treadmill i just dont feel like doing my interval training. But the moment some groovy music is played i automatically get into that mode

As i had promised myself i wud increase the weights, i begin with declined bench with a pair of 75lbs of dumbells. I complete 3 sets and feel "OK, tat was quite good". Next i move on the inclined bench with a pair of 60lbs dumbells. I complete a couple of sets and my reaction is "Ok, my chest is being worked out and it pains a bit". I move on to the inclined bench machine and use 90lbs on each side. I complete a couple of sets and my reaction is "Ok, tat pains." I move on for workout of the shoulders with a couple of 50 lbs dumbells in the overhead position. A couple of sets done and i feel proud that i have really strong shoulders :). Next i move on to the machine which works out the shoulders. 4 sets on the machine with 70 lbs weights and i am made to rethink about the statement made i made earlier. "Aigaaaaa, it aches!!!!". Nxt i move on to have my rotary muscles worked out with a 5lbs dumbell. Carrying such a small dumbell may look really funny on me, but trust me tat 5lbs is enough to make you yell when you work out ur rotary muscles. I complete my workout with my next 3 exercises for triceps and some stretching exercises.


The aftereffects of my 2hr workout could be felt before and after my guitar class. Before - i was late by ONLY 45 minutes because my body was aching like hell, i slept off like a log and my sir was a tad mad at me. After- On my way back i get a nasty cramp and i am left in one of those insane postures on my bike to which some might ask "Wot exactly is this guy doing?"

In the gym, people feel i am weird because i dont speak with anyone. (My dad who comes to the same gym updated me with this info offlate :) :))Yes i am weird in the gym and i am in my own world, i would like my muscles to emote rather than my mouth !!

Insane title

I was lull for some days but tat doesn't mean the carnage carried on 26/11 has been forgotten. Its been etched in my heart forever and i believe, same is the case with every other true Indian unless he has the instincts of a renegade.
I start up my day reading the headlines- "Sachin's ton applies balm on Mumbai's wounds" -
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/sachins-ton-applies-balm-on-mumbais-wounds/80613-5.html . How ridiculous and imbecile can the media get? If u remember, this was the same channel which aired the 62 hr bloody mayhem and was appealing the people to act vociferously against the heinous attack. I have absolutely no grudge against this channel infact this is one of my fav channels, but you definitely need to look before you leap . Even if you are writing the article half asleep, how can u commmit such a foolish mistake or even get such a gross name for your article.
Sachin hitting a ton, wots great in it? Gimme a chance to play for India, gimme money and allow me to play atleast 300 matches, i ll surely get a dozen tons :) . In short, tats his bread and butter, and he has to hit a ton if he has to survive ...No big deal in it. Comparing his ton with the 26/11 masacre, is just atrocious.
Gimme a chance and i ll prove how pen is mightier than the sword!! ;)
