yet another one....

Watched Dostana today.I think its official now that Karan Johar is undoubtedly the undisputed king of crass and tasteless cinema.

I mean put in a shirtless poster boy in a pair of very tiny shorts(make him run in them on beaches obviously!!), a foreign locale (if not the usual Switzerland or New york then Miami!!),a monstrous penthouse(totally unaffordable though they call it home!),throw in some shreds of clichéd designer outfits and there …………….you have a movie!!!

When exams were squeezing the last bit of juice in me and all the late nights had given me the dark circles of an owl,I thought that this movie would come as a relief.In a way it did,we de-stressed by ogling at John don’t-remember-when-he-last-had-clothes-on Abraham’s washboard abs................:-p

The other very predictable things about the movie was the Oh-so-boring typical Punjabi Bollywood “maa” with her “pooja-ki-thali” who’s more than obsessed with her son.And not forgetting the Bollywood “heroine” who just has to act dumb(aren’t they realy??) and sit pretty while three over-grown remotely mature guys go about serenading her!!!

And as far as the "being gay" issue goes,its outrageous!! I have friends who are gay and they are perfectly normal people.Neither do they behave like women nor are they overtly expressive of their sexuality.Give them a break guys!!

At a point of time the movie is not even funny anymore.Its just another random addition to the storehouse of mindless emotional sagas the guy makes with a "force-you-to-cry happy ending".I mean the guy rips off scenes from his own earlier films..............lolz!!!!

I think he should stick to his "koffee-drinking" household gossip with his "chaddi-buddies"(he calls that a chat show!!)

I'm just glad that i didn't go to an INOX to check this one out! Now that's money well-saved...

The ending of an era...........

Been away for quite some time now.
Third semester exams started today (and i'm blogging!!!) VIT is finally ending for all of us,ten more days to go and i am off to Kolkata for good.Feels kind of wierd that i might never sit in a classroom again.It's been an inseparable part of me since i was a toddler.

Since VIT is ending,now is the time when i have to fill in a zillion slambooks and diaries(yes i know its highly cliched but we still do it!)Its something i despise,mainly because i don't even know the names of half the people in my class in whose slambooks i write!!! The only bright side of such illustrious wastage of time is that i get to generously give all my "gyaan" whether they like it or not.
Anyway the bottomline is that writing in these stupid slambooks gives me a new insight on people and relationships.

People come and people go.Some leave a lasting impression and fond memories and others don't even make a dent.For some you wish you had the time to get to know them better before they moved out of your life(sometimes without even telling you that!!!) and for others you wish you hadn't even laid your eyes on them.Some you wish had stayed and others had never come!!

Relationships are an investment i believe.Some invest more and others less.But everyone invests!! They are also based on the"give and take system". Again,some people give more than others,but in the end everyone has to give something!! It could be their time,thier money or their integrity.That's just a way of life and human interaction.But somehow some people will still have issues in acknowledging this.

The complexities of the human mind are truly fascinating!!
