SaLaAm NaMaStE !!!!

ok... enough is enough... Saif Ali Khan has done this twice to the lovely Priety Zinta.. and i hate it... its been twice that he has made her pregnent before he got married to her...

first time in Kya Kehna... and now in Salaam Namaste... i am wondering if the second is the answer to the first.. someone asking Kya Kehna.. and somebody replying Salaam Namaste !!!!

but then all is well that ends well... and i guess in both the movies.. She gets to deliver the baby and then they live happily ever after ( what a fairy tale-ish end to something that is very close to life)

ok... on serious note... ( no pun intended.. and no sarcasm involved).... i think the movie was very nicely put together.. i am not a very big fan of romantic movies.. but then this one had some romance involved with some fun too... and i have enjoyed watching Saif in a lot of his recent movies... Dil Chahta hai... Love ke liye Kuch Bhi karega... Parineeta... etc etc...

a live in relationship... a near perfect way to practise the saying.. look before you leap... something like "having a 30 day demo of the product you are interested in"... and if you do not like it... poore paise wapas... how cewl is that... does that work with humans.. the way it works with products... i guess not... at least here in this society where i am living... and do i want to be with someone i like for 30 days and then hearing.. sorry dude.. i like u but you are just not good enough... na... i do not want to hear this ever...

can i say that to someone... suprisingly.. i know i can say that to someone.... i guess something is missing inside me.. is that the lack of emotions or consideration of the other persons' feelings.. well.. uh... i dunno... and this post is not even meant to discover what is missing inside me..

back to the movie...

nice package. i enjoyed the movie... saw it on a home video... saved a lot of money... used that to order lots of fresh juice... which i loved having during the movie...

i liked the part where nick is ready to wake up early so that (H)amber get a good breakfast....
i liked it when (H)amber sleeps late so that she could meet up with Nick...
i liked it when he came and asked for the the TV cable so that he could watch the cookery show.. and promised to keep the volume low..
i liked it when she kept on asking for some dark choclate.. and he drove around the town to find it... ( why the hell did they sing a song there?.. well.. can we leave the typical hindi movie element out? no i guess not... )

i was not really comfortable watching the last 10 minute slapstick comedy done by three wonderfully gifted actors... what was that needed for.. the movie was itself very comic itself...

somehow i knew there would be a slight mis-understanding when saif wants to get things taken care of...
somehow i know that she would leave before he could tell her everything...

ok.. well.. no more comments on the movie... it was a good movie.. and i liked watching it... if you did not.. then probably you might like to just tell me that you did not.. and that is where the conversation about the movie will end !!!!


about my weekend so far...

yesterday evening started on a not so good note.. when i had to like stand in line and wait for two passes on the IITd Annual Fest... to hear one of my favorite bands Indian Ocean... and then when i finally manage to get in... i realise that i had to sit on the third row from the front in the extreme left.. which meant that i could hear only the left side speakers.. and that too a li'il too loudly.. but then it was fine.. was listing to indian ocean.. i had been trying to get to a live performance of this band for a long time and today was the day....

to my complete surprise...
indian ocean packed up after singing 4 A W E S O M E songs..
starting with Arre Ruk ja Re Bande from the OST of Black Friday.. and then moving on to Hille Re, Ma Rewa and finally Kandisa... what awesome vocals combined with some extremely good fusion of instruments... love you Indian Ocean.. keep the music flowing like this only...

while i was hoping for something better to happen.. now that the Indian Ocean thingie was over in a li'il less then an hour... lightning struck.. and on the stage was a band called the tantriks... they were refered to as a Dance Band in their introduction.. and i could not figure out what that meant... untill i heard the song... O Humdum Suniyo Re.. crying for help... crying for justice.. crying for some mercy.. from this talented yet... stupid bunch of Assholes... the vocalist was good... and i know if he tries... he can do much much better then wht i heard yesterday...
the drums, the base guitar... were definitely good...

but the vocals... OH MY G O D.... i could actually throw something at them to make them shut the fcuk up!!! but then i was sitting there... still in a state of shock.. and they kept molesting the songs.. one after the other... dhoom.... koi kahe kehta rahe... some popular number from Zeher which i cannot remember right now... phew... it got too much at this point.. and i had to get up and get out of there...

my releif came from the Great Indian Laughter Champions... with Naveen Prabhakar saying.. "Pechchan Kaun" ... some program that was.. thank you STAR ONE for this... u start the weekends on a great note with such an awesome program !!!!

Saturday morning... first weekend after a long long drive... and guess what..

i had a date...
met her.. talked to her a lot.. also let some silence do a lot of talking.. and i had a wonderful time... looking forward to meeting her again.. lets see how soon !!!!

late evening.. saw the movie... the movie finished... and then i got up to sleep.. and then dunno for some reason i just woke up... and switched on the computer.. and finished writing what i thought i will just write...

ok so thats it... i have not really read what i have written... but the scroll bar on the right tells me.. its kinda long.. but then neva mind... if you are reading this line.. you might have read the entire post already.. so no point apologising for wasting your time :)

hope you have a wonderful sunday !!!! Good night..
may God be with us !!!
