JTYJN...

The first time I saw JAANE TU YA JAANE NA with my college gang I remember being extremely excited and curious....

Reason 1) Mu ha ha No prizes for guessing....Imran Khan

Reason 2) Kabhi Kabhi Aditi.....(remember it was in the background for quite some time) amazing track!

Reason 3) I predicted it would be another mushy-mushy love story...( I love watching them..)

Reason 4) this one's the most important reason.... I wanted to break the record of not watching any movie after Jodha Akbar.

About the movie :
The first half is like you-blink-and-there's-a-song kind ! cat dies, there's a song...farewell party....another song....picnic ...one more song.....phew! The narration is loose and some really silly events just left me with should-i-laugh-or-should-I-cry emotion! I mean , can you ever think of suddenly kissing one of the friends from your gang and fall in love with him/her just because you are single? eew man...ridiculous!!!

Imran essentially holds the movie with his honest and very convincing performance.Genelia looks good in the movie but acting.....NAHIIIIIIII.....she struggled with hindi and honestly her acting dint touch any corner of my heart..!

The climax is in pakka Bollywood ishtyle....in the airport ofcourse.....with the cops running behind apna hero (and calling him a terrorist..lol) who is running behind apni heroine and singing the special song for her ..(oops! crying not singing..) Its just hilarious..

Style check :
*loved the variety of clips genelia wore throughout the movie...(i have started to wear them already)..her sense of dressing is very trendy,chick and feminine (loved those dresses man!).
*And this girl (who's name is shalu in the movie) dressed so well...the harem pants,fringes,exciting tops,bandanas.... a complete street chic...awesome!



Now, I want to be generous and tell you five reasons why you should watch the movie..

1) Imran Khan..(yea yea!)



2) For the mind-blowing performances of Ratna Pathak shah, Naseeruddin Shah,Paresh Rawal(he rocked as always...),Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan...they were the highlights of the movie!!


3)For the unique presentation of the movie..

4) For some TODU music....A.R Rahman is a magician..truly,

and finally
5) for laughing your ass off (after the intermission i.e)

My rating: 2.75/5
Overall experience : Mungfalli timepass!! worth watching ONLY once.

A Crazy Reunion...!

Ok! I read this amazing blog of this guy called Hriday Ram Shenoy(courtesy Dinesh..) and After I read one post....my mouth widened in awe(wider than what it is when I have a burger! ) and since then I've been racking my brain to think of something totally "out-of-the-box" for my blog...but then see! I end up writing another random post ...

Last weekend was pretty much "rona-dhona"kind...(for me atlleast) coz Apurva left for Banglore and yeah! Manu's visit just increased the "senti"meter! and this time I couldnt help giving him a bear hug before he left ... I love you Manu! ( Dukhi aatma dont kick my ass for this!!)

And well, I watched Jaane Tu...again in PVR...and I was bored and I wanted to sleep (but it was really cold in the A.C!).. The review is ready but I dunno whether I should post it! Well, lessee...

And here are the pics of McD... crazy day....

Btw ,here's the list of names I got that day:

1)Chi hua hua..(because the girls think my hairstyle looks chinese..)

2)Ching chang..(this one's from Bharani....the reason...same as above)

3)Shin chan..(eh? i look like shin chan ? do i? i dunno lol)

the "GANG"sters

Nair, the only thing missing is an Iron Maiden Tatoo...

and btw where's manu looking?(well, ahem...any guesses!)

Orange, white, green and .......well, I'm the odd one out....nevertheless an awesome pic!

I love his grin....and the eyes(scary)....rofl

photoo session....

My honey plum cuppy cake!

The fact that apurva's family is shifting base to Mumbai has not sunk into me as yet !

But today ,when I closed the door of my room and sat for my routine "me-time" .... there were scenes from the past flashing in my head.The day apurva was leaving for Banglore I wept like a kid and hugged her saying,"I CAN'T live without you." I cried for a long time in the evening too... I also saw the time when we would talk for hours together after school...the time TAMPERZ were together .. each time I confided in her(sometimes broke down!) and as far as I go into the flashback ,she was always there (for the great and the not-so-great moments). I may sound really syrupy and sentimental but the truth is ..this is the only way I feel better about our friendship which has emerged stronger after she stayed away from me! I value her even more now and will always do...

She is leaving the city on the 20th and I know its gonna be really difficult to bid adieu to her without being sure about when i'll see her next...! (ok! i m not crying now!) I m gonna miss this mixture of -pain in the neck, agony aunt, pink obssessed, 2 year old and an eternal soulmate...*sobs*

This post is dedicated to my very special friend DINESH.

Initially I think I was really amazed by the fact that we share SO much in common. We bonded like we know each other from ages.

Sometimes we dont need any explanations to understand each other.We speak in silence, read each other's mind, discuss our lows and highs with all respect to each other's emotions .We speak to each other like we have so much to say.The vibes are so beautiful, really.The coincidences, the telepathy, all of it just seem to tell me that this one is going to be a deep friendship.

This reminds me of what my friend Karthika told me once ..

"It doesn't take a lifetime to know a person."

I think this friendship is one of its kind and the craziest thing is we havent met each other after we've become such wonderful friends and I hope I meet him soon , get to know him more and soon call him my second best friend.(Now dont ask me who's the first one )

"D" I think I did not tell this to you yet.. I respect, admire and love you as a person !

The splendid weekend!!

SATURDAY, 5th JULY

Well, it was a very special day. My parents celebrated 21 years of togetherness! and I was more excited than them (obviously because I would get a treat!).. I tried my best to act as a catalyst for their chemical reaction(read chemistry) but I realised that the definition of romance changes with age! I got them roses while coming from college and yeah! yesterday was the first time I took my dio to college .. man! it felt soo good driving in the morning ! that high cannot be described, believe me. OK I was talking about my parents right! yeah ! so we went for a loooonngg drive and got some chinese food home from this reataurant our family friends recommended us.. and it was pathetic! but that didnt spoil our mood!

and how did I forget this, I got a new hairdo..yea ! its kinda good but not as good as I expected ! here are some pics

The bride and the groom :-)

pas mal (not bad) i guess.. what say?

love you mommaaa!!

SUNDAY , 6th JULY

St.Francis College is celebrating its GOLDEN JUBILEE this year (Isnt that great?) and the first major event was today's 7K marathon. The event started at about 6:00 am and there were some celebrities to give us some oomph factor !! Venkatesh was sooo smart man! he doesnt look like he has a daughter persuing graduation(well ahem !! from our college...) I was like FIDA on him !!! also joining him were V.V.S Laxman, pullela gopichand and some telugu actors who are less known to me!!

and when the run was Flagged off , my my !what a weather it was !!! francis spirit was in the air and we ran almost 5-6 kms shouting "Franciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis-francis"(the extra i's are for the sound effect !) I think I am a proud student of Francis and I am feeling soo lucky to be a part of such a spectacular event! It was an experience of a lifetime ! I guess you can make out how excited I am, so please ignore my haphazard punctutations and bad grammar :-)

I dont think I can describe everything in words! some pics will give you an idea of the "halla-gulla" we had today!!
