BBM. Connecting with old friends. Reading old posts from Bollyspice. SATC reruns. Checking out results to my name on Google search ;) . New assignment applications. Feeling confident enough to take up new assignments. Groovy track from Cocktail. Pink happy feet. More regular Watsapp with Fudge. Getting thru 12-hr workdays & actually enjoying it. Sleeping to fun heartfelt conversations. Waking up to trans-continental messages. New found obsession of 140character stories. Realizing that this post is actually turning out to be fun :D

Life = Hope! Are you ready to live today?

Dedicated to a special friend ....


They say "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". 

Life with complications, vereee tiring! yet Life without complications, pretty boring.... 

One cannot experience everything that life has to offer.. so share a little, play some more..and have fun! coz life's tough and you ain't getting out of it alive anyways :D 

So are you ready to live today?

Let the countdown begin.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

When everything around you is pale no bloom

all you sense is hovering gloom

your will to live doesn't seem appealing & deft

yet some dash of hope could be all that's left.

You want to end it all, no need of an excuse

you try to fix it, it's just no use

yet toss away that piece of rope,

And give yourself a pinch of hope.

This is your life, play by your rules

life isn't all grey, search for your palette of hues

tune your thoughts, give some a head-start

ignore the brain, mindlessly follow the heart..

Foster your hope, take every step with a smile

although the path be steep, & tough to climb

look around you, muster all the nerve you can

adoring faces will be alongside, longing to hold your hand.

The wounds are the past, just playing with your mind 

the fears of the future, will disappear with time..

Just live the present, taking your pace to cope

Coz your life will dazzle once you begin living with hope.

I am B.A.C.K (Blogging Again Cinema & Knick-knacks)

The world of 140 characters has lost its charm on me.Doesn't mean I am going to isolate that medium, nor does it mean I continue to be enticed by it. I've returned to the world of infinite words & unrestricted thoughts. 

The curious case of mindless cinema indulgence! Badrinath - Allu Arjun & Tamanaah

This isn't exactly a review, rather just some quick thoughts about the movie. 


The thought of this post has been playing on my mind for the past few days since I watched the movie on dvd. The thing about watching any movie day's after its release is that you're already subject to the hearsay on the film's verdict. After the film being declared a colossal failure & almost every review pulling its fangs on the movie, I had absolutely nil expectations. Now this, my years of movie appreciation wisdom has taught me it is sometimes a good thing; as then you have less fear of being let down, which was exactly the case with Badrinath. The movie is so bad that its actually good fun and here I can shamelessly admit enjoyed the total masala fun with the enthusiasm of a 2-year old in a candy store.

Stuff thats making me happy right now....

Day dreaming. My new voice recorder (finally!!). BBM. E-invites in my inbox. Philmy Weekends. hilarity of random tweets. Sly tweets. Flipkart. Playing touristy at Gateway with Alex & Arnel. Being low maintenance. WATSAPP with Fudge. Eagerly waiting for CCD hangouts with Fudge in June. Compliments on the new hairstyle. Compliments in general. Surprise gifts from my girls. Random run ins with old friends from college. Return of the regular body massage. Street shopping. Being single, being happy about it. Flirting rendezvous. Knowing how fantastic my  friends are.  Blogging. Pani Da Rang. Life, just life.

Quick thoughts - Vicky Donor - Ayushmann Khurrana, Yami Gautam

In early March I attended the first look launch of this film. Understandably no-one had heard much about the movie which had completed shooting and was set for release a month later. New leads, one-film old director and a new actor-turned-producer taking on a eye batting topic of sperms and fertility, everyone quickly concluded it to be a sure-shot recipe for BO disaster. Solo take away from that event was the immense pride John Abraham's eyes glittered with; on his maiden venture as producer. Collectively the team was confident about the positive fate of the movie. Nonetheless, the promo received appreciation from the media invitees while the organisers happily obliged to the 'once-more' request. It was the beginning of something special.

Ready to mingle --------------- But still single?

I bumped into an old colleague last night. She had quit work to pursue a hobby, which (from the looks of it) had done her good! Financially independent, loving what she did, she made a novel cover picture of great achievers. I was thrilled for her. And then we came to the awkward moment where we spoke about relationship statuses and quite uncomfortably she mumbled the usual response. Single. Ready to Mingle.
(& then predictably proceeded to bitch about how tough it is to find a nice (?!!?) guy!)

This has to be the most abused term of our generation. I know some great people - secure, intelligent sociable, the works. Then where do they go wrong? In retrospect, some are single because they've got other priorities, don't have time for a relationship, which IMO is fine. To each really his own. My grudge is towards the people who pretend to be wanting to be in a relationship but secretly conspire every trick in the book to run in the opposite direction of it. So it got me thinking, what is it about these great people that makes it difficult for them to sustain or atleast click with the right person?
