DEV D ..... nope my new IPOD
yeah, I know the title sounds a bit confusing.But it's true.
I wanted to write something about DEV(ch*$#a)D but then i thought what's the point in writing about something which pissd me so much , rather write about something which is making me happy these days which is my iPod. Its a Shuffle 1 GB.Got it as a gift from brother.
But then I think writing aboou this crap movi will be the best remedy to decrease my frustration.
I was eagrly waiting for this movie to release and wanted to see it because I really like Anuraag Basu as a storyteller/director, but i dont know while watching the movie the scene where
Paro comes to Dev and tells him that her family members are thinking of her marriage and she expects him to talk to their families or whatever she thinks, and Dev tells her to leave.
At that moment I thought what a ch@#*ya fellow this man is, and then he proves it by getting drunk and unconscious in front of her in the marriage.
What pissd me off was I couldnt understand what he actually wanted?
And i dint feel like watching the movie thereafter.
I know most of the people liked the movie but then it's my view.
I dont feel like rating it , so i won't.
Now about my iPod, this truly has become my companion nowadays.
I was planning to buy a transcend MP3 player for some time now but I was really surprised when bro gifted it to me.
When i first saw that it's just 1GB i thought atleast it should have been 2GB.
but now after using it for almost a month now I feel that I really don't need more than this.

LIFE'S SO BUSY
updating the blog after long time , was kinda busy with studies .
Thankfully this Oracle thing will come to an end /should come to an end in the first week of may.
Then the second sem exam is also there so the may month will also be almost same but the family members are going to native place so will have some moment of relief, at times it feels good to spend some time alone. Also I am excited about my neices coming here they will be here by mid may , i am surely going to have some tough time while studying for the exams.
Then I am also happy wid the way things are progressing in life personal as well as professional (professional sounds weired).
1 more thing I dont know how I cleared 5 out of 6 subjects in my first sem , I have to thank god for that , i wish something like this happens this semester also , coz i seriously havent been able to chk the books becauase of these certification exams.
If someone reads this just wish me luck for my exams.

GHAJINI
Only the name of the film sounds diffenrent, there is nothing new to the story.
There has been so many films in the 90's with such storyline where the actor's girlfriend gets murdered by a villain and the only motive of the hero is to kill the villain.
It's kind of the same thing packaged in a different manner.
The thing that went in favour of the movie is that such story came after long time and then it's the magic of Aamir khan that he will make the same thing look different by doing it in a different manner.
Although it may sound strange but still i would say that it's the only hindi movie which is
adapted better than the original which is "MEMENTO".
IT's not that I dint like Memento but the way the story has been told in Ghajini convinced me more than Memento.
Talking about the music although the film dint really required songs with such storyline still
songs has been encorporated into it. But Rehmaan has done justice to them.
I dont know why a section of media are saying that lyrics by Prasoon Joshi is not that good, I dint find anything wrong with it.
Anothet thing is that Aamir khan carries the whole film throughout the movie alone ,there is nothing for Jiyah Khan to do and as for Aasin is concerned she lacked that extra bit to tickle the funny bone of audience.
But she looks good on screen.
They could have got some other actor to play the role of Ghajini, the actor looked totally unconvincing.
So, the film is about only 1 person.
Aamir is good in both his characters.He must be given credit for all the hardwork put in behind those bulging muscles.
I would say that if you have an option of watching either ghajini or Rab.... , then go for Ghajini
atleast it makes sense unlike Rab... where the actress fails to recognize the two different looks of her husband.
Ghajini on a scale of 1 to 5 will score 3 1/2.

MAXIMUM CITY --- Mumbai Lost & found
The first thing that attracted me towards this book was the cover page.
Just by looking at it I knew it is going to be a good book.
It is a must read for all Mumbai people , if you think that you know Mumbai then read this book you will know how little you know about Mumbai.
The writer has put in a lot of efforts in writing this book while doing his research work.
it is kind of an eye opener on issues like the 1993 riots, involvement of sanjay dutt in it, the way the riots took place, how blasts were planned ? how the gangsters work? how police works?
It must have required a lot of guts on his part to write things about Bal Thackrey and directly pinpointing him as the main person responsible for the riots.
One of the most interesting part is that of the life in slum.
Although I would say that he only wrote things which would attract people in reading about life in slum and mainly concentrated on how each one of them is hitting on someone else's wife,
sister,sister in law etc...
I would have been happier has he mentioned about how people stay connected to each other in slums, chawls, care for each other, celebrate in good times and mourn in bad times with each other.
I think he lacked there.
Story on vada-pav is also good.
Another interesting part is on the life of the bar girls, in this part I would say he really
put in more hardwork in reasearch on bar girls, I dont know why he had so much interest in it ,at times I found that he is dragging it a little too much.
In the end he also mentions about his school ,years spent there ,his friendship with director/producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra.His association with him during the making of
Mission Kashmir.
That part again was not needed, I mean who is interested in knowing what you did in your school,
when you are writing the book on Mumbai .
I would say that he probably missed one very important thing about mumbai which is it's lifeline
that is the local trains.
He should have written something about the local trains,how people talk in trains ? what is the main point of their discussion ? The daily spats in train etc....
Although it is a good effort and he even succeeds in opening the eye's of the readers , but I would still say that it lacked a lot of things about Mumbai.
I would still recommend it to everyone who wants to know what has happend in Mumbai over
the years.
It will be kind of Mumbai revisited for you.
On a scale of 1 to 5 I would rate it a good 4.

THE KITE RUNNER
Marvellous,incredible these are the words that come to my mind about this book.
I have read so many books,and have been saying that I was so hooked to it that I couldn't put the book down till I finishd it.
But you will know what does getting really hooked to a book means once you start reading this book.
There had been hardly few books which made me think,evoke emotions but this book does that.
The first thing that convinces you is the relevance of the title with
the story, it truly cmplements the stroy .
Although the start is not that convincing but once an incident takes place in the main protagonist's life ,thereon there is not a single dull moment.
I must admit that nobody succeeds in carving human emotions on paper than Khaled Housseni.
He slowly creates the world of afganistan around you and that's the thing which makes you feel the emotions of the various protagonist , what they are going through.
The story has it's share of happy and emotional moments.
It starts from the post taliban takeover of a lovely and beautiful afghanistan where people love each other and are very happy and the drastic change in afghan once taliban takes over.
Its the story of a happy boy, his prince like life which changes after an incident for which only he is responsible, how he had to deal with the truth and guilt only he knows throughout his life.
The description of the post taliban takeover is really moving.
I can't stop raving about the book, so the best thing I can say is that you go and grab your hands on it and you will understand the difference between reading a book and feeling a book.
In all on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it 9.
