DRAFTS 2011 - DEOOL leaves you speechless at times

As a kid I used to go to a small Ganpati temple near Kurla Station with my sister, Then it was called simply Ganesh Mandir. The temple was very unnoticed and otherwise quite humble affair. Few months later they renamed it to 'JAGRUT VINAYAK MANDIR' and This turned fortune of the temple by 180 degrees. Now there are long queues in front of that temple. May be I was too young to understand the power of word JAGRUT that time. If you look at some of the temples and how it has changed over the years you would know what Deool wants to convey to us.

DEOOL is one of those movies which makes me proud to say that how marathi cinema has matured over the years

DRAFTS 2011 - NO TAACHING NO KISHEENG

The outrageous awesomeness called Himesh Reshamiya, making me to write one more post dedicated to him and his new song. "No Touching No Kissing " ....sums up story of my life :)

DRAFTS 2011 - must listen of 2011

It's good start a year with clean slate, clearing all the 2011 drafts from blogspot....
This, I love to do, Handpicking some of my favorite songs of 2011, and mostly telling why actually liked these songs....

Dilli, absolutely haunting piece by Amit T, liked the rock feel to it

Darling, not fully original still Vishal B does the trick with otherwise reliable Rekha Bhardwaj and nice to see Usha Uthup there

Yunhi, Its sheer magic of Mohit Chauhan along with some hopeless romanticism in lyrics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrL605XlK70

Khoya Khoya Chand, my personal favorite, the song comes so unexpectedly to you. Some might say a bit out of sych but pircturized wonderfully

Ooh lala - So cheesy yet sexy...I just loved OOH Lala
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg-qlKb4X7U

Nadan Parinday Rehman does the trick again, the song has a graph in itself, true magic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttIKsnxPrMY

Saibo who would have thot that some movie named 'Shor in the city' will give us such a sweet song, Saibo is my personal romantic favorite of this year

2011 DRAFTS - Roxtar

It's good start a year with clean slate, clearing all the 2011 drafts from blogspot.....
Watched Rockstar and had mixed views about it....here is what I feel about it...

There are 3 things for which you should watch Roxstar

1. Mohit Chauhan - Mohit Chauhan shimmers and adds soul to 'Jordan'. For me he was biggest take away from the movie.
2. Ranbir Kapoor - The boy wonder of Bollywood, he never dispoints, and shines bright and high even this time. There isn't a single frame without him and he carries movie on his shoulder square and fair.
3. A. R. Rehman - When he is not at his best, still he is far better than others, Rehman gives what needs from him, but then again not at his best. Faya Kun and Nadaan Parinday are my favoirte


There are 3 things for which you should NOT watch Roxstar

1. Nargis Fakhri - Heer could have been next Geet (Jab we met), but Nargis Fakhri kills the charm of Heer Kaul mercillessly. She cant act, (can she be the next Katrina Kaif) and even just watching her on screen sometimes get really irritating
2. Imtiaz Ali - He often shares STORY credits for his movies and does creditable job. This time however he dispoints big time in second half. Mr. Ali ran out of ideas towards the end and this litterally stops the movie.
3. A. R. Rehman - Because we always expect more from Rehman and Tendulkar. Certainly not at his best.

Bench Chhod

I didn't know how much I care for you, till you came in my life, and now you are going away, I am surely going to miss you.
They say, 'On bench' in an inevitable phase in any IT professional's life but somehow it was eluding me all this while. After a long wait of more than 6 years, you came to my life...and I enjoyed every bit of it.
The feeling of waking up in the morning without knowing what to do and where to sit is amazing. After dodging weird looks that freshers often gave me when they find a senior guy next to them browsing on a common system is interesting. And the only concern for me to fill those 9.5 hours per day.....Oh man! trully a honeymoon period.

But from Monday, that will not be the case, until we meet again....I will miss you
