Delhi 6..

You absolutely love certain movies.You abhor certain movies(i can distinctly remember a certain tamil blockbuster ).And in rare cases,you don't actually "get" movies.Delhi -6 was one such movie.I had this feeling that i knew our national language quite well.This feeling was quashed into pulp after the 3 hours of the movie.
Lemme sum up the movie..Myself ,sreeni,and sanju(an ardent hindi movie "buff"oon,his knowledge of bollywood can be compared to varun's knowledge of hollywood (Quoting.."Who the hell is this brad pitt"),decided to go for a movie(not withstanding our busy schedule of watching movies in the PC).sreeni knew "mera naam sreeni hain",myself "shukriya" and sanju..ah well sanju..yeah he was clueless.And with this limited knowledge of hindi words,we went for Delhi-6.We were excited at first(u know with the cast,and the RDB fame),by the end of the first half,enthralled by the music,the sets,but the movie had not yet "started".At the end of the second half,again enjoyed the music,but the movie had still not "started".So the three of us,pretended to enjoy the movie,had a real nice chat about how deeply the movie affected us,the great message of the movie,how moving it was...but this is what we really thought after the movie
Sreeni .."WOW,sanju and ullas really knows hindi,huh!!"
Ullas.."..hmmm..shukriya..hmmmm"
Sanju.."Abhishek had his glasses on for 1395 s,scratched his face 6 times..i am really good at statistics.."

Some salient features in the film:

Abhishek bachan definitely had conjunctivitis.How else could u explain the dark goggles morning,day and night?

Sonam kapoor looked ravishing,and was one of the main reasons behind the 3 of us not sleeping on our seats

Monkey man was the hero of the movie..

There were 7 news channels,and 85 reporters dedicated to monkey man

Monkey man rocks!!..

So all in all,we "enjoyed" the movie,but we dint really get the movie.The symbolism was over the top.Also how did an NRI man who could only speak in english at the beginning of the movie come up with lengthy monologues in flawless matching "shyari"s ,we are never going to find out!!..

PS: Hope to be a more regular blogger..Bear with me,if i do become a regular blogger

'Project'ing thoughts

Itz been long...With the tough schedule in class,and the highly "demanding" project schedule,i have been incredibly busy.By tough schedule in class,i mean the challenging sessions of cows and bulls,and the new hot game,hollywood(more popularly known as hangman).And by "demanding" project schedule,i mean more cows and bulls,more hollywood,and more trips..
This post is dedicated to my project team.Lemme begin by introducing the characters
THE GUIDE :
With 5 rooms spread across 15 km's ,a car,and a scooter,with responsibilities ranging from hostel warden to h.o.d,to college principal,he happens to be the busiest guy in a 100 km radius of kalamassery.Inspite of having 2 wagon r's in the team,we hardly catch him.But i have to add,the man knows his stuff,and really does give proper guidance when he is visible.

The Members:

Ryan Fernandez: He calls himself the statistical analyst and planner in the team.He has no idea what it means,neither do we.He has his life based on GMT(Greenwich Mean Time),sleeps like there is no tomorrow,too lazy to move from one bed to the other.

Varun V:We call him the communication head.With four sims in his purse,another in his bag,lots of free calls,and his general acceptance that he will die of brain tumour due to radiation waves,he makes all the calls to the guide.

Unni : The only responsible member in the team.He eggs on everyone else,but falls asleep himself.

Yours Truly: Blogs about the project,instead of doing it.

After a month of the project being allotted here are the reactions from my teammates
Unni :"Shouldn't we start preparing the abstract?"
Varun:"Did we get any project alloted?"
Ryan :"Am I in your project group?"

So with this lot of 4 extraordinarily lazy guys,how a project is going to be completed,god knows....Lets hope for the best
