Aamir

Well i could've easily been one of those millions who would've probably stood in line to go watch sex and the city, but i guess shoes and bags ain't my cup of tea. Am glad i went for this flick, and am proud of those few bored souls who atleast came for the heck of sitting in an air conditioned theatre and inturn watched it!! This is one movie which i feel has managed to provoke everyone to think.Its basically this story of a financially well settled type of guy , who is returning back home to Bombay to visit his loving family and the story takes a turn right from scene one and keeps you engrossed throughout till the end where he finds out he has been embroiled in a bombing conspiracy and victimized by his community men. Its not one of those inter religious kinda movies, inface this one's deeper, its probably something you and me wouldn't have thought happens, but well it surely does. Its a movie that portrays intra-religious affairs with great sensititivity and keeping in mind the delicate issues of the society. No big frills attached to this movie, the plot is new and small screen star RAJEEV KHANDELWAL, has performed exceptionally well for being a debutant actor. The gali scenes where all the chasing and action with the very prominent bright red suitcase hugged to his body in the film is happening gets you quite excited . He's emoted his expressions of helplessness and worry exceptionally well. And certain scenes in the movie have been shot brilliantly, especially the ones in dark with the vicious villain guy and also the one in the bus towards the end of the film. The background music is fabulous and sets in this perfect mood to watch the film, every track is a masterpiece, precisely fitted into the movie.the one defect i found very obvious was the tag line of the film.... "who says man writes his own destiny", with relevance to the film, i think he , Aamir, does decide his destiny eventually.

Hope you guys catch this film ASAP. this one deserves to be watched!
and by the way sex and the city aint too bad , sorry to those who loved it :p

conoor, lovely conoor and red hills :)

last trip i took with my friends was to this lovely little grren hub called conoor.firstly its situated just 3 hours from mysore, but due to the rugged terrain in ooty, it took us nearly five hours or so. but every bit is worth. on your way to conoor, your tightly wrapped around with nature everywhere, beautiful green and untouched by the city pollution.our accomodation was a beautiful house by the estates, a friends house actually and the architecture, typically british..lovely wooden trusses and king posts..typical upholstery and windows.its like this place left untouched after the britisher's left. infact this style can be seen throughout the town..its simply classy. another thing i was quite impressed about was the lifestyle people have here, very british again. there's the conoor club which is like one of the very few good places there and almost everyone there knows everyone. its like this small family, which is practically the entire township, lol. grandmas and grandpas come early evenings and play poker and blackjack till late evenings accompanied with their favourite tit bits to munch on and a drink ofcourse. let me tell you something, in a place like that its a crime not to drink!! well and the youngsters, that's supposedly us, have lots to engage in like tennis, table tennis and badminton. i however prefer staying indoors for the simple reason its cosy and im from chennai, cold weather bites me!every may 31st theres this event called the 'gala night' which is held its apparently the biggest and all the members of the club put up this cultural program and they have a week long of sports for all ages! super!then theres this huge feast, great food basically and people dancing through rest of the night, drunk people laughing loudly and women gossiping little kids creating a racket...its super noisy..but great fun!!!

a friend of mine from college apparently owns a resort at this place , few feet above ooty called red hills. its a view beyond imagination from there, probably nature at its best i'd say, oh if your lucky enough you'll see panthers around and bisons are a common site ( we saw them lazing around). well we visited her resort and being off season the only guests she had were us. we had a great time there, lovely food again and ooty chocolates!! its a place one must visit.

well so if you plan to take a trip round the corner next time, think conoor!

another..continued..

apologies firstly, didnt have the time to update! sowee!
Anyway continuing from where i left, after pune and its bazaars..we were headed to mahabaleshwar, a tiny stop in between our two major destinations, one being pune and the other aurangabad ofcourse. hmmmm well so mahabaleshwar, this place is a paradise on earth, a beautiful hill station not tiny at all actually and some of the most scenic sites on earth exist right here. fresh strawberries with rich whipped cream is a site in itself. and lucky us, we were there in time for the strawberry season! and accomodation wise, we had the best one here..lived like kings..at dirt cheap rates..super place in short. we visited the shivaji rao gaekwad's memorial there, a beautiful place and the view from the top is simple breath taking! the ajanta and ellora caves we visited were par excellence , the architecture is simple astinishing to see for the times they were built during.the hindu caves especially i found very very inticately carved and each and every wall depicitng a story of its own. though the jain caves were a bit to intricate, it was well applauded effort. and am talking centuries ago! well apart from all this, on the whole the trip was a lovely gastranomic tour and i would definitely love to be back and see more :)

am almost done with teenage-hood!

yayyyyyy am NINEteeen...and my mom just called me a careless girl...ah..feels good..was dying to hear such words from her...damn hate being the perfect daughter..like the careless tag..its a compliment!!

Its been just a few days since i got back from a so called study tour to maharashtra, was a little disappointing from a traveller's point of view, didnt get to see much in almost all the places we vistited which includes, lonavala,pune,mahabaleshwar and aurangabad. Well, but my trip never falls short of adventures.Another disappointing thing was most of the places we saw were from the bus and got down at very few places, bet walking wouldve done a lot good. As i was saying adventure...well i got onto a lorry simply for the heck of it, like they show in movies,direct your thumb for a signal and whoa! the dude stopped, he actually thought we were a bunch of thirsty travellers,lol he got a lil pissed when he found out we were less than half a kilometer from our destination. bottomline,was fun!oh and our lovely driver got drunk,so got stuck on the middle of the highway , asked him to sleep a bit till he gets "un-drunk" , after all that jazz we make it to pune and our bus runs out of diesel on the main road, LOL! Basically we then travelled for 14 hours straight till we reached our next destination, and all you MALLUS attention...the DHABA we stopped at was owned by a god damn freaking MAL ...sheeeesh! but u guys food sucked there...HA!Oh and btw the first thing we see on entering pune, KERALA JEWELLERS, and i was sitting next to this mental mal, who turned and gave me this grin which i deciphered as " ha! ...ha! we rock.." ...That moment i gave in, am like seriously u guys must've have done something to be everywhere, every friggin place...huff! And on reaching aurangabad, i find out my louly louly fone has got some virus and all of a sudden i realise am on roaming and check my balance just incase, it said "your balance is -30" arrrggghh! But in a way i was happy that i had the golden opportunity to switch off my phone and not answer anyone, like a responsibility less.lolly :p But well at the end of the trip, i kinda wanted to head back to pune cause well thats the place WE WENT PARTYING IN LE MERIDIAN TILL ONE IN THE NIGHT, THE PLACE WHERE WE ABSOLUTELY DID NOTHING AND WHICH BTW WAS ONE OF THE BEST PLACES WE SAW IN THE TRIP. i promised myself ill be back jus for the heck of it, for the cheese crossoint (excuse the spelling)and the osho ashram ;) .....to be continued.....
