They say if it ain't broke, break it! That's what happens with Gayab . It was such a fantastic concept, which could have been made into a rib tickler with a little imagination but ends up into pathetic hair puller, because of lack of it. Prawal Raman, delivers second dud in a row after Darna Marna Hai . Either, Ram Gopal Verma needs to change this strategy of ghost-direction , or change the director for his next movie. Otherwise, his Factory ( Ramu's production company) is soon going to ...
The day began badly for me. My landlady expired last night. Next, when I checked my bloggers site in the office, I came to know that my company has blocked the site www.blogger.com. I can't blog from there. It really pained me. That's why I am sulking since the morning. I have shifted Confusing Musings to this new site but the biggest problem is that I can't change my templates settings. That means no links to Photos, no webpage counter. Sulk! Sulk!! Sulk!!!
Certainly, Sehwag won't put his money where his mouth is. Neither will I. There are reasons behind it. Just have a glance at the following pattern. - "Given a chance, I would like to play in middle order in test matches. However, in one dayers, I would like to open." Considering this comment was made immediately after he completed his triple century, it had everyone completely bamboozled. - "I am more comfortable if I have a defensive batsman at other end while opening in a test m...

Lagaan My 6 & 7 number is Qayamat Se Qayamt Tak and Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke respectively. His five most forgettable movies list 5. Raja Hundustani 4. Daulat Ki Jung 3. Love Love Love 2. Mann 1. Mela So what's your list?
While most will die for Shahrukh, others might yearn for Salman, for me the undisputed king among the Khans is - Aamir Khan. He is different just for sheer audacity. Who else could dare a Lagaan or The Rising ? Nobody will dispute it either. He always sets himself a new challenge. Never brow beats on the same beaten path. You can always expect the unexpected. He never controls a character, lets the character control him. He didn't bath for 13 days for the climax of Ghulam , wore Lag...
There are songs and there are songs. I have listened and enjoyed many a songs but this one is special. It's mesmerizing. Penned, tuned and sung in such a manner that while listening, it involves your complete attention. You simply cannot do anything else. Song is not that popular because it's from a forgettable film called Shankar Hussain with some even more forgettable actors. Rafi's voice is Godly, Khayyam's tunes are soothing, while lyrics by Kamal Amrohi(who was, incidentally Meena Ku...
Till now I was the one, who was inspired by other blogs to start this one. But from now, I can boast of the fact that there is atleast one blogger who got inspired by my blog. Amit Verma, a dear friend of mine has started Just In Time only just yesterday. Amit, incidentally is Nandu's and Niggu's friend from Springdale, Lucknow. He was at the same batch at HBTI which had the privilege of having Manish Kankani and Rahul Shukla, albeit for a short period of time. I am not sure whether th...
Humility, that low, sweet root, From which all heavenly virtues shoot. Unfortunately, Shane Keith Warne doesn't think so. Yesterday, after temporarily equaling the world record of highest number of wickets, he started shooting from his lip. It's explainable to be proud of the record. It's remarkable that the feat has been achieved mostly on those tracks which were fast bowlers friendly. But what was need to belittle somebody else's achievement, while basking in one's own glory. ...
Kisi Shayar ne Kaha hai-- Ai Aam , yeh teri khush naseebi hai, Werna Langdon per kaun marta hai! For those unfortunates who don't know, Langda is a type of extremely delicious Mango found in Lucknow, Varanasi and Saharanpur belt of Uttar Pradesh. Once, a friend taunted Ghalib "Dekho gadha bhi nahin khata Aam" To which Ghalib retorted "Haan, gadha hee to hai" Amir Khusro wrote in Persian -" For garden pride the mango is sought. Ere ripe, other fruits to cut we ban, b...
Pune , argubaly has the largest number of two wheelers in Asia. The total number of registered vehicles in the city have by far exceeded Mumbai's. Whole city is smoked and choked. So looking at the traffic woes Pune is facing, these are a few lines which aptly define the situation. Arz kiya hai - Yeh Bola Pune ke kutte se Gaon ka kutta, Kahan se seekhi tuney ada dum dabane ki, Dum dabane ko meri Buzdili mat samajh, Kahan hai jagah dum talaq hilane ki!
What not to do at IIT. This is the book which I have just finished. Author - Chetan Bhagat, is an IIT-D and IIM-A alumni. He has written it from his own experiences at IIT. I will not reveal the plot, if you can call it a plot. But yes, I will let you know what one should expect from the book. The book is by an IITian, but for both IITians and non IITians. Only that, former would really relate to the incidents while the latter will be rendered wide-jawed in disbelief. The story is...
There has been such a windfall of taxes in PC's budget that I am still recuperating from it. I already have lost some Rs 3000/- with the newly introduced "educational" cess, and I am still counting. These FMs don't realize that when they increase service tax or include a new service in the tax net, it's not the service provider but the consumer who suffers. Service provider simply passes the burden to the consumer. Damn !
Twenty-twenty cricket is a new fad which is catching up in English counties these days. Actually, it was there last year as well. It drew large crowds and supposedly generated a lot excitement during the matches. It is said to be the next generation cricket after Tests and LOI. Now we hear that Australia and India(read Dalmiya) have also taken notice. Both of them are planning to introduce this new format in there forthcoming domestic season. Australia, infact has agreed to play a Twenty...
Well, What to say , though , a lot to say. Ever since Laloo ji has become Rail mantri , I have begun to have this uneasy feeling. And this is not without reason , as Laloo has proved it in short span. I live approximately 1500 km from my home city . Two third of my folks stay there. I and they feel urge to visit each other. Now, we are not richie-rich. We lie somewhere in middle of middle-middle class and upper-middle class. So traveling by our domestic Maharaja or any other airlines is...
