A blog after a very long time with an Dose of Rashees!

Ahh well, i cant count the days its been since i wrote a new post in my blog , still who cares anyways.
Allright to start with the weeks been great ,and work place has been just the usual ,was asked to work on Saturday ,I was so jobless that i ve been counting my saturdays at work its been 8 at a stretch . Well this saturday was a festive saturday as well , thanks to the ongoing navratri season ,when the ladies are genrally invited to the house . So i thought maybe its a good deal afterall to sit at office .Hit the office at 11 to figure out my sytems down and returned home at 3 .

I was as usual siting on the new found facebook addiction of mine , was wondering about watching this movie ,Whats Your Rashee .I ve donwloaded the songs before but to be honest barring 3 songs initially dint quite find any numbers catchy . So pestered my mom to come along and Mom and me generally dont say no for the movies, I booked the tickets with some great expectations .I was like hmm watching this movie will give me a good idea of hows girls are of each horsocope, not that I dont know it , just see hows it potrayed in the movies , something which ended up to be .....ahem comments further down .
But then came the ryder the show was for 9 20 and moms was like son , if people turn up early then i come , or else go with your friends .

I was like ya right , 2 tickets and One ticket free , whos gonna come , I did try though , but to no avail , and besides I am not that close to anyone here apart from my office colleagues here in hyderabad .Well eventually mom did come and we did go for the movie , I guess my blog ends here and the movie review begins

Allright Whats your rashee is the movie and trust me in one liner , if you are jobless and have a 100 bucks to spare and wanna kill time go for it . To be honest seing 12 priyanka in all the rashees left me speechless with me pestering my mom which rashee this this and I couldnt even say tht You know mom i like the priyanka in this rashee that rashee . Boy was it head spinning .

The hero though has done a goood jobby for his second film ,psst i ve just been told that its his second film I must say that the story line is good and if you had 12 differnt girls in this movie with one being priyanka it would have been a hit . The problem here was that normally I would tend to compare a girl with an other in terms of characters etc .. ie I can say you know that this girls is like this and she is like this , but here the problem is all the 12 are the same , and my brain really couldnt comprehend this fact.

Added to the woes are the never ending songs , one for each girl .Bah I looked at the lounger seats in the back of the theatre and was like happy , phew thank god i dint pay 200 for this movie , I would have certainly dozed off .

Very dragging movie and sometimes gets really monotonous, the first half is good though , but i guess you know the story by then for the second half and boy is the second half really really boring, By now I had lost count of the rashees and i forgot my own rashee by then and was liek arey yaar how many more to go ?????.

And besides the depiction of the girl of each rashee was pathetic ,I had this thing in my head about my friends cos I knew their sunsigns and was like hmm lets see how its depicted here , awwwww there was no comparision at all ,Utter nonsense was the depcitions of the rashees , espicially taurus , pisces and Saggitarius . I am a Saggitarian myself and had great expecttaions of the Girl of my sun sign , watching the movie , I was like huh are they like that !.

So in effect as i said above, go watch it if your utterly jobless ....

Right do I have anything more to write on this rainy morning ,,nothing much .
See you soon in my next blog whenever that is ........

Lived the day in excess!! Literally

Ahem , I am sure for all those who thought this guy is now lazy to write his blogs , its a
turnaround .
Hmm allright so how come this time i took time out to write a blog , well its like this , everyday of my life which is different from my usual idiotic mundane monotonous life is penned down . So that diffferent day did come and thus it deserves to be penned down .Anyways life in general is just great tottering about , work place is challenging ( or psst..... is that my boss taking more work outa me ?) .Well I have offlate started enjoying thiings diffferently ,yeah it is sometimes kiddish but who cares at the end of the day If i am happy with that .Home front is just the usual ,the cooking the cleaning eating and sleeping . I know I am being sarcastic here but thats how it is . And the only thing which has changed is that I have been finally enjoying my last two weekends which are otherwise just spent at home . I must say say a big thanks to the Times of India news paper for having a fortnight long hyderabad festival where they had shows , concerts and theatrics to view . The last saturday , me and my mom went for a qawwali concert at chowmohalla palace,it was a good one , pity i couldnt stay for the concert as i had an exam . But this week , Me and Mom went to Shankar Mahedevans concert at Necklace road and it was really good ,but still there was this empty space in me , i knew what it was (Missing Mumbai for all this ),but This time i was scolding myself to shut up and enjoy hyderabad as well . Allright even still the empty space wouldnt go , and this time i knew it and I just asked a question to myself . Shyam its a concert and something that should be enjoyed with your friends , wat are you doing here ??? . I knew I did not have an answer to that question ,but then the next day was Hariharans concert at Hitech city . I was like hmmm.......maybe i can go for that with my Mumbai friends who are in town .Now i knew this was of course at the cost of not letting my mom and dad go for the concert !!, but dad never really bothers and mom yes she likes it ,there was this dilemma .Eventually after a few phone calls to my friends and the next day evenings programme planned , I broke the news to my mom about the Sunday plan . Boy was I just waiting for her to say yes .

Sunday!! I was really really looking forward to it , now then usually I refrain from going out to Hitech city because 5 days a week I go there for work and again!!!. Nopes that was not gonna stop me this time , I tanked up Herby(my maruti 800) and off we went ,first stop meetimg Moize , he is my classmate from mumbai doing his hotel mgmt in Hyderabad and works in one of the biggie hotels , and then came Vinay my other classmate who is not in the same league as my 10th batch friends cos he came in in the eleventh ,A nice guy but very silent and quiet and of course the last was Priyanka , she is that solitude gal who you always here in the poems (hehe ) i know i know , one more classmate of mine from the 10th and there we are all 4 of us from Podar school in mumbai and you should see the joy in our faces , You know the scene in movies where a light glows in the back when a boy sees a gal or an idea strikes , well if the sun wasnt there you could have sure seen that on our faces .Right we stopped for a snack at Subway because MOize was pretty hungry , while we three settled for an ice tea .
Ok now this is something which I really like about our Friendship , for Moize and Vinay , coming for a Hariharan concert would be something ,which would not be of their liking . I know that because Hariharans songs are generally very slowish and Ghazalish ,but still the fact that they came was that we should meet . So here we were at the concert , it was getting really irritating because there was this lets vote video constantly looped and began with I swear . Moize was like .. whats this I swear I swear show chalu kar (begin the show)as the show progressed with Hariharan making us enjoy the evening and he sure belted out out some memorable numbers ,to name a few ,Roja, yaadein,Minsara Kanavu and Guru ,plus his Krishan nee Begane and The grand Finale with Thamizha Thamizha (Bharat Hum ko jan se pyara).
Next stop was Moize's hotel , well he showed us around and took us to the Club called Excess(now thas where the blog tagline comes from ),and I specially liked it thanks to the electronic music being played , below was Mahesh Babu( Telegu film actor) party , and Moize went about telling about all the Page3 guys and their Stories ,oh well all gossip and well we meanwhile were also gossiping about the years past and how we made it through and all . The music was beggining to jam our ears ,so off we went for a quieter ambience by the hotels poolside ,which impressed me with the mood lighting concept . Took a few snaps here for memories and finally decided to head home at 1 am Monday , the other three wanted to stay back but I was getting late as this was my first late night outing and I certainly did not want to face the other side of my Parents . I reached home at 2 and crashed silently to bed .Next day morning is going to be the usual . Allright till the next blog take care , see you all and Have fun

Mumbai!! The One Place I call Home

Mumbai , The One Place I would never forget .

Whats in a place one may ask . But thats the city which transformed me from a Teenager to a responsible Citizen. I may not be so staunch enough to be calling myself Mee Mumbaikar , but yes I love the city for many a reason .
In my 21 Years , I am known to have shed a few tears in my life during the times of sorrow, but never have I shed a tear for a city which was being to ransom on the 26th of November .
As the news poured out about Mumbai being attacked, I initially did not take it so seriously ,thats until i saw the footage of the terrorists mercessily shooting at the people and then the Taj on fire . To me Mumbai is just another friend of mine who is being brutally attacked and I could do nothing .

The city where adventure is travel in trains , the joy of the rainy season, the rhythmic beats of the drums in the Ganesh festival and not to mention the love of cricket . Say Bhelpuri and the next instant you are taken to Mumbai .

I cant explain the love for the city , something which I am trying to pen down here in my blogs in vain, its like narrating my personal life which is mine .

The scenes of the people crying and the Taj being attacked and the magnificent structure which for years has been the pride of mumbai ,sploshed across the media for all the wrong things .
As the NDTV news coverage says people are angry !!! But what is the anger ? Is it anger because the people cant do anything on seeing the city being attacked ? Is it because of the loss of faith in Politics and bureaucracy? Is it the anger against the terrorists who killed innocent people .

The answer is a I have mentioned above , for many people like me the Bond between Mumbai and them is something personal ,something which cannot be explained .

I am not sure if people are angry at the terrorists , but they are definitely with the politics being played on it . There is now a sense of Realisation against the politiciains , There is now a need for a change in the Existing Govermental System ,Shame on the the politicians who give out horrendous statements like "These things keep happening in every city "and a Chief Minister showcasing the aftermath to film directors. And the Opposition making a mockery of themselves by showing the Government is not doing enough and trying to get a vote bank .

Instead of working collectively and trying to find an answer , they care more about campaigning.
Perhaps the need for the nation's youth and the educated to enter Politics has never been so great . This is the time to arise , a new beginning for Politics in India . A drastic change in the existing system . A fitting way of paying Tribute to Many a Men who laid down their lives trying to save my city and people .

Jai Hind.
