*********

Thats me with my nephew (my brother's son) and my niece (my sis's daughter) and when they two meet our home looks like earthquake-hit.

Salaam Namaste

hmm....now I'm in review mood.... :-)

well, after many initial hiccups and yes-nos, I managed to watch Salaam Namaste.
hmm, I was not too keen to watch it, but we just wanted to go out n watch "a movie", and by chance got tickets of Salaam Namaste.

I was not keen, bcoz of the promos airing on all channels; seems that producers spent a huge chunk of budget in promotions, Salaam Namaste has been all over media: print, TV, radio or Internet, and I never liked any of promos.
Seriously, promos were a big turn off, specially that one on TV 'Preity-Saif talking abt super-cool-movie'...and crap. bluudy dunno whom they were tryin to fool.


1) Still, I dunno why they named it Salaam Namaste, or y they named the radio station as Salaam Namaste.

2) Or they did it so coz the title score came out to be fabulous, TITLE song is the high point (I'm restraining myself from writing 'only') of the movie, loved the song , the feel, the location, the energy.

3) Saif is better suited as comedian not as main hero, and watching him doing it for long period of time makes him very very predictable.

4) And aren't we sick of watching 'chaddi-showing Saif' in pink t-shirts..(that too baby pink) and his weird hairdos, boss such hairstyles exist in movies only, in real life...NO........WAY.

5) Javed Jafri was a total waste, and highly irritating....eggzactly!!!!!

6) All 'Saif n Warsi scenes' were monotonous, highly predictable, and almost same.......; bluudy chemistry was NOT there between friends.

7) 'End' was again one of the most screwed up I've ever seen. Dunno wat 'small b' was trying to do.

Only thing appropriate was Priety's nickname in the movie.."Ambi".. she actually looked like good old heavy-duty Ambi (aka Ambassbor car).

*****
hmmm….now only one man can change the outcome of Ashes, and the name is Shane Warne.

~ Abhi - Manyu ~

My nephews, age:: 2 yrs & 4 months. Yes, they are identical twins.

Restraining myself from writing a sad-sad post, and successful till now.
no worries, I won't write anything depressing, and now I don't want to.
***

Well, Mondays are always special whether I accept it or not.
***

Today, had small argument with boss, who also happens to be VP of the company. well, it was abt taking leaves and stuff.
In my 6 years @ work, and I've always followed my a simple funda abt leaves... "Bina reason ke leave na lo, and jab zarorri hai tab leave zaroor lo".
***

Watched 'Iqbal' on Friday night, it’s lovely movie, I enjoyed it, specially Naseeruddin Shah's part.
***

Went to Amritsar on Saturday morning and came back on Sunday night.
Had great time there;
Loved each moment spent with my twin nephews there.

Internet

Internet is a big, lonely place.

Weekend, was good fun, spent good time sleeping and watching television :-)
Ashes is going English way..... :-)

On Saturday, for the first time used Metro for going to Connaught Place, its was sooooo good going it that way, in 30 mins flat I was standing in the middle of CP, it felt soo good, I went there after a long long time, and in this mall culture, CP is still my favorite shopping place, it always brings back lots of memories :-) there is hardly any shop where I've not been to.
*****

Life is a movie.
You are the hero.
Give it a happy ending.
*****

sometimes I wannna grow long hair... like Mark Robinson had some years ago, and also waana sport a beard…..thick beard, and the problem is that I don't have patience :-(
*****

for a change I'm sporting a French beard ..after a long long time ;-), dunno how long it will last, may b 2 days?? :-)
*****

Its 121/4 in 35 overs, Kaif just gone after making 65 off 122 balls, damn are we playing against world champions?? can't they maintain a strike rate of 75-80?? , bludy they all now play to cement their place for next match, that’s it. they r struggling against an attack which went for 397(44 overs) in their last match !! and next man in is Dhoni, damn after 4 down our wicketkeeper comes to bat, where are the batsmen??

and I won't b surprised if Mr.Chappel resigns after Videocon cup.
