99B

And then we jettisoned ourselves into IMAX to watch this otherwise 3-4 weeks old movie - 99B
(thanks to IPL effect). The popcorn were on ... the otherwise Rs. 15 turned Rs.45 Sprite can was on. Since 99B was the only Hindi film flick available on the screens, and since the title of film looked dark ... so respectively, the choices were not there and hope for a complete movie was also remote. But nay, 99B proved me wrong, and can say that movie structured out well out of the plot based on "Cricket Match fix" scandal that rocked the cricketing world back in 99. And Boman Irani once again has proven that how masterly a good actor deciphers the minute elements of a scene. The way he was persuading against his wife for his characteristic weakness to bet for Cricket Matches, was hilarious and at the same time very original. In short this movie does what it was meant for. Moreover this guy, Kunal Khemmu is also impressive. Another interesting scene was Cyrus Broacha's showing seriousness on his face ... lending the thought to viewers that just because he is healthy and muscular(say fat) he can go for borrowing his bosses money.
Good movie ...

And There Ends My Academic Career ...

Results have come. I passed this year also with usual mental peace. Finally, after almost twenty years of passages, I have no more usual academic class to go through. There will be no more class tests, no more subjects, no more college projects, no more round making across college campus and yes no more spicy stories. You will tell me, okay you can have PhD yaar, but then I will respond back -- "no more interest". My career was never rosy and also it was never pale, it never made me jump high, but it never made be feel remorsed, it was a typical career of an average Indian student. I still remember how much it was tough to study Geography in school days and how many times my Father used to mention me exam schedules. I always disliked going to class and I will wonder if my average attendance through out my career will be more than 60%. Well, the white shirt and navy blue short was always boring to wear. I remember the first day when I cheated from my friend the definition of

Virginia Slims -- You've come a long way, baby

Phil Harris - Smoke Smoke Smoke That Cigarette Now I'm a fella with a heart of gold, The ways of a gentleman, I've been told. The kind of a guy that wouldn't even harm a flea But if me and a certain character met That guy that invented that cigarette I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree. Well not because I don't smoke myself I don't reckon they'll harm your health I've smoked all my life and I'm not dead yet. But nicotine slaves are all the same, At a pettin' party or a poker game, Everything's must stop while they smoke a cigarette. Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! that cigarette. Puff! Puff! Puff! And if you smoke yourself to death, Tell Saint Peter at the golden gate That you hate to make him wait, But you got to have another cigarette. Now in a game of chance the other night, Old Dame Fortune was doing me right. The kings and queens just kept on comin' round I played 'em hard and I bet 'em high But my bluff didn't work on

Praying for "love"

Dear Love, I am sitting beside you. I know you are ill for several days. Your health looks miserable and many a times you were not able to respond. I have been busy in my work, and could not take care of yours. I am feeling really bad and guilty for my behavior. I remember those moments when we were talking, laughing and enjoying every moment of our life. Watching your pale face I am feeling sad and disheartened... It was almost two years back when we met. I came to this place ( IIITb ) alone, with none of my old friends with me. No one was here with whom I could talk, share my thoughts and was feeling as if I am in desert. True, it is that there were folks around me, but effectively, even then, life was dry and relentless. In those dark moments I met you. Initially you were unresponsive in many contexts, but gradually I came to know lot of things about you. Believe me, at the very first sight I got enchanted to you. You were the real fashionista, always wearing in black embroideries c
