Mahabharat

Indian epic 'Mahabharat' is too complete to be real. It has action, romance, thrill, violence and complete guidance on human behavior!

Nostalgia

Why does one feel nostalgic?

Would it still be true if one's next moment is always better than the previous one? Would one still remember the old ones and feel... nostalgic?

I guess not.

So next time you feel nostalgic, try to make your next moment better. You will feel happy again. :)

Cheers !

Love Aaj Kal : Review

Short : Good movie. Excellent screenplay, editing and direction. Old story. Fun filled and exhilarating. Good ROI :)

Long :The movie depicts two facets of love, both portrayed by Saif. 'Kal' ka love, is typical old movie ishtyle love which surprises with its clear headed direction. It is an old story portrayed differently and still wins hearts.

'Aaj' ka love is equally breathtaking. Saif and Deepika do justice to their roles though there was scope for improvement. Direction, screenplay and editing cover up for it. In the end, you think you know what's gonna happen but then it suddenly changes track and makes you say, Wow! In short, it is a fun filled joy-ride. Amazing locations in London, San Francisco and specially Delhi, make you wonder how beautiful this world is!

Go watch it. It is definitely worth the money. :)

Night out for a valid reason..

There is no purpose for this post. I just felt like I should keep writing. It is what makes me happy. I have not written for a few months now.

Coming to the title of the post, last night was spent coding for the heck of it. It was an application based on Yahoo! Mail APIs. Well! I could not finish on the same high spirit as I had started with. Still, it was worth the effort. 

Moreover, it brought back the old memories of night outs  for no particular productive reasons at college. 

Content. Happy. Living Again.

Hopefully I will be back to writing frequently again!

Cricket and India !!!

Give me one way to prove Indians are mad about cricket.

Why 'Family' tv soaps are not good to watch !

I am writing this while I am 'actually' watching: ' Saloni - Saat Pheron ka Safar ' . I think Indian television has got it all wrong. They always depict a person in ideal state - be it villain or the hero (being agnostic to the sex). They must come closer to reality. Indian mass is a very confused lot. Generally they never hate or love other person to the extreme. They are always objective. They love or hate people on issues. It's not like a 'saas' thinking all twenty four hours devising a plan to ruin her 'bahu's' married life.

I can't stop myself from hating this particular moment in the serial - Saloni is the most devoted wife on Indian television. She has stood all tests inflicted on her (by her family members - not surprising, huh). The husband is suffering from a deadly physical ailment (say 'brain tumour
or 'blood cancer' - two most abused diseases on Indian television and cinema - Indian kid knows (right or wrong!) that these can't be cured even before it is born.) Now comes the bummer. Saloni announces based on her trust and devotion that she will leave no stone unturned in winning her husband's life back.

I don't know what will be the fate of poor husband. But I definitely hate this extreme. We love reality shows !

Change... I am waiting.
