Fame, a movie worth watching


I know why I am so intrigued by the movie ‘Fame’, of course it’s a musical and about young people, and hope for a better tomorrow, great music, but it’s something else........reminds me of my college. Don’t you miss your college? I do a lot. The most magical place ever.

I love the whole film especially the last portion the passing out, ok in this case the final performance. And the joy in their eyes is beautifully pictorized. The tears of joy after a long hard work, or how should I say the success after hard work is worth the tears of joy.

The best relationship of all “Friendship” is purely depicted. It’s so easy to make friends in college, and they are there for you, only after you start moving out do the relationship changes, and there is difficulty in making friends...it’s like corporate world, were every action, every word you say, and to whom all is scrutinized like hell. And on top you have no idea what is waiting for you in the next corner. Once out of college even a simple hug or a pat on the back to say you are doing just fine is difficult.

And the end where they show their joy, wildness on the stage.......hmmmm we had did that we had owned the stage, it was wild night.... thanks to our juniors for giving us that grand farewell. No No it’s never late to say thank you. I think ill shall go back to my college when I go back to India, and walk those corridors......fight with my tutor...lol.

Ya I used to fight very bad with my tutor even have made her cry......you know hot blood, trying to prove the point, you just blurt out whatever that come to your mouth. Its separate issue that even though we fought a lot she was and is my favourite tutor. Even now when I call her up sometimes, she used to say, your batch was the most................, but we all staff miss you guys. I and one of my classmates we used to sit together at one bench, and do all the mischief that is possible, and I have to say her class was very lively, though she taught subjects like virology, Classification and stuff.

I remember when I had taken my autograph book for her to sign, she happened to open a page where one of my classmate had written “control you temper”, and she just laughed at me. Whenever I have gone to meet her (i.e., had been twice, once out of college), I used to carry something for her, and every time it’s one thing. Any guesses???? Horlicks. Ya, horlicks, (it’s an energy powder that you add to milk and drink). She used to drink horlicks, or should I say started during our batch, and once we asked her why, and the answer she gave was ‘ you guys drain out my energy’, and we being we, said “ don’t worry we will buy and give you”.

It was fun people. And one more thing people, its where there is love, respect, will there be fights. You fight for or with people, you do love, not with or for strangers.

Movies and Me/You



Hey guys I am sure you would have read or heard me telling that I am a movie buff...yes that I am. And as I was going through the blogs and after watch the movie” fame”,

I just remembered that that I have not written anything about the movies I like.
Oh yes I am a big fan of Bollywood movies, yes I do like the colourful sets of Karan Johar movies, and the comedies of Priyadarshan (mostly borrowed from the regional language, Malayalam, whatever be that) but I what like the best is low budget movies (serious movies, as some people like to call it), no no I am not talking of art movies (no idea what the heck is that), these are moves which portray true life, they take on bold themes. Hey when I mean small budget movies it does not mean no big actors, it just means not very elaborate sets and stuff.
Ok may be if I jot down my few all time favourites you might understand
My brother Nikhil, Mr & Mrs Iyer, Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd, Fashion (for Kangana Raut), A Wednesday, Iqbal, Chake De India, Tarae Zameen par, Rang De basanti, The white butterfly, Jab we met (for songs & colourful portrayal of N. India), Dus Kahaniyan (not all the ten though), Shabd (for the picturization)etc.
But when it comes to Hollywood, i love musicals especially where it’s the movies in which the young crowd fight for dreams and stuff, E.g. Fame, Billy Elliot. Movie which have music as the key factor, Sister Acts, Mama Mia. Then I am a fan of fairytales love the Harry potter movies, Lion King, Spirit, etc. Last but not least love action stuff too................no horror but may be thrillers, Underworld (I am not sure where you guys put the movie underworld – horror/thriller). I am not a very much fan of romantic moves with exception of gay romance. ....lol.
But of all the movies one thing is common, “the ray of hope”, I personally feel it’s what the ray of hope that keeps us all going in bad or worse. We all look forward, straining to see the ray of light at the end of the tunnel. And the best movies of all times have somehow achieved in showing us the ray of hope. Few of us say we go to movies to pass time, na ill have to disagree if we come out of a movie hall happy then that means the move was able to give us a new vision, a new direction, a change of scenario.
A new perspective to see life, that’s what we all are looking for.

Fernando de Noronha



OMG, something beautiful is happening..though not me exactly ………. Its beautiful.
Ok friends and more……..cool...beautiful beach don't you think

Thirst for guys


Last week had been incredibly strange......I am not able to find the exact word.
Anyways had come from the interior of Oman, after long 20 days road trip. And there was only one thing on my mind, to have someone’s company. And to achieve this goal, I was like knocking on every door....of course in a polite manner. And on top this being or was the holy week I was a bit guilty too (20%), but what to do, was horny. I guess I was thirsty.
Unfortunately which ever door I was knocking was opening only partially. Hey I even called up a guy whom I met quite long back, even though I knew he was a pure bottom (pure tops/pure bottoms not my type)even he did not have a place and I did not want him to invite to my place. He said his friend had a place but the luck did not support us as his friend was not picking up the call.
Then there was one other guy whom I again bumped into on the net of course. And this time I was like ya..... I want to get laid. But unfortunately or fortunately he turned out to be let’s get to know first rather than bang and bye. Unfortunate because I was looking for pleasure, and fortunate because rarely do you find people who wants to have a common wavelength before getting into further.
I even ventured out of my comfort zone, crossed my age limit barrier of 30 & also entered the national’s zone, which I usually never do it. Still luck was not on my side, as that guy did not have a place, and I did not want to invite to my place. But I did wonder if he was jeans & tees guy, then, I definitely would have thought of inviting to my room.
So though it was a series of unfortunate incidents, to think about it now it was good that none of those worked out. It was not me.
Hey I made 2 new friends this week, two cool guys. I am sure I’ll enjoy their company very much. May be next time when my adventures of Oman continue.
