Never.. Never have I seen a vegetable share equal (or) more screen space with the heroine of the movie. Never.. Never has my logic been taken for such a toss. Never.. Never have I heard of a Chinese speak Hindi with such fluency.
Never.. Never will I be able to comprehend how a potato can come to the rescue of a man being thrown around like a frisbee.
YaY!! alu-man to the rescue..
And No!! No prizes for guessing the name of the movie. 'cos ha! I am going to name it right here.. Right now..
Chandni Chowk to China is a must-watch. For otherwise, how will you know to appreciate when a good movie is made.
akka Mahadevi avru helalilva
bettada mele mane madi mrugagalige hedara baradu anta
hage software profession nalli idda mele layoffs ge hedera baradu
Sister Mahadevi person has said-no
hills up house building, then for animals fearing should not happening
likewise software profession in happening after, layoffs for fearing should not
*Ahem* That was the best I could do with the translation. I didn't want to take the philosophical edge out of Harsha's words. Harsha is one of my best buds since school. Yeah! The same guy who voted against me due to his Gandhigiri. So, let it be known that I lost the school election 'cos of what Harsha did (lost by a single vote); but let it also be known that am a better man today 'cos of what Harsha did. [If you've been following my contemplations over the years, you'll know what I mean].
But I digress. The point of contemplation is not Harsha and his Gandhian philosophies. The point to ponder on is what's up with the crises we have at hand. Obviously, if I had taken up economics in college, and had the intellect to put it all together, I would be giving you a deep insight into what's been happening around, instead of this pointless tirade. For the same reason, as my dear friend Abhishek has suggested, I've decided to pick a copy of Freakonomics the next time I venture into a bookstore.
But I digress again. Let's look at what has made the crises at hand. Production lines are being cut as there are no sales. Stock markets are down. Companies are laying off their employees in order to make profits. Commodities are becoming costlier. Do you see a common denominator here? Yes, you clever people. I could kiss you for that. It is money. It is money! Cash! duddu! hana! paisa!
Where has the money gone? The money was there when the economy was booming a couple of years earlier. Heck, it was right there a few months back too. It couldn't have just vanished into thin air!
Rest assured dear folks, that the money is still there. And it will rear up when everything is hunky-dory again. The money is right there in our tight purses. Productions have stopped 'cos sales have reduced. Sales have reduced 'cos people don't buy. Stocks are down 'cos people don't invest. Do you see a pattern here? Yes, it's the people. It is us! We! I! You! Everyone!
We have lost the faith we had in the economy a few months back. We have lost the trust, and we look on in fear of what could be happening ahead. We dread the future, when in actuality we are in a position to script it as we want.
But then again, I could just be a maverick. A freak, would be more apt. I could probably take this as a lame excuse for buying a car. But hey! I have done my bit to keep the economy rolling. Have you?!!?
- You like soft-rock.
- You dislike movies with baddies.
- You like movies bereft of the dhishum-dhishum.
- You dislike movies that make you cry.
- You like Farhan 'cos he is so multi-talented; a Superman.
Whatever be the reason, it should be good enough to make you grab a couple of tickets for the next show.
har lamha pukaara
yuhi dekhta hai kya tu
zindagi nahin milegi dubaara
If you haven't Rock On! yet, you should atleast now.

Was disheartened to know that this wasn't an original. Well!!! Not the first time that a Korean movie is being duped though..
One of the best lines I've read/heard - "A SQL Query walks into a bar and goes up to two tables, and says 'Mind if I join you?'"
Here is another one - "There's no place like 127.0.0.1"
Yeah.. I know... I've got to stop this. Am getting too geek-y nowadays... vok.. One more.. And I promise I'll stop..
"The box said 'Requires Windows 95 or better'. So I installed LINUX" :-P
I don't believe this!!! My tech blog gets more traction than my personal one.
Not that my contemplations *ahem* are that interesting to warrant people's interest in them; but I neither write any record-breaking stuff or apocalyptic information in my tech blog for people to be visiting from far-and-wide. For the pizza delivery boy's sake, I've only 4 posts there.
Either, it's a total geeky world out there; or people are stumbling on it by mistake. I will go with the former as it goes well with the ego. You prefer to choose the latter?!!? Thank you.
Now don't you go peeking there to see what crazy stuff I've put. I have enough skewed stats already. Oh What the heck!!! Go ahead!!! Skew them some more...
