kya hua? nothing but our bollywood romance :-)
Only that, it is subtle and sobre this time. There are the usual music and dance - one or two song sequences could be reduced, but for the typical bollywood ishtyle!
Kareena is more bubbly than ever and had a good script for acting! Shahid is much better and comes across as a copy of Shahrukh - poor or better copy, I am not sure! But he has the potential to make it big. There is no great logic in the movie, especially in the second half; but the screenplay is fast and keeps things interesting! Add to that the much talked about chemistry & lip-lock between the lead pair ;-)
Music is by Pritam Chaudhary(Is this a different Pritam?) and he has done a good job and scores 3 catchy numbers.
Wanted to write one of the first reviews - saw the premier yesterday and it was fun!
In short, a movie worth watching.

Isn't shopping fun?
Absolutely it is! It becomes an addiction just beyond that point !
Well, my hubby and I went out for shopping yday and before we could take a 2-min breather, I had shopped for a dozen set of clothes! The original intention was to pick up 2-3 winter wear and earlier in the day, I was so lazy and reluctant to get out of the house. I was giving lame excuses that the official trip may not come through and that I had enough winter clothes etc.
Once inside the shop, the attitude and the enthusiasm was at a totally different level. I was not even tired of trying out the different brands and picked up almost all the ones I had tried on me :-)
My hubby too sounded cheerful in spite of a big hole in his wallet!!
We love shopping, don't we?

Indian team Vs Aussies
It was another disheartening match, though Indian team did fight back. Just a mile away from confidence to carry on the brilliant start.
Dravid and Yuvi failed to support
Dhoni could not bat aggressively as was required. We were in need of 40 runs in addition to the balls remaining for around 5 overs which decided the match in Aussies' favor.
Also, Ponting's decision to bring in Branten turned the stride!
Anyway, well tried Indian team!

To Sir, With Love
Thatz the book that I finished reading recently. This is written by ER Braithwaite with the London in late 1950s as the background . I must admit that it was more interesting than what I had expected.
I understand from Wiki ( I dint expect a dedicated article on this book in Wiki!) that a movie was also made out of this book.
Check out for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Sir,_with_Love_(book) for the plot summary and criticism.
Let me tell you what I liked in the novel - Having travelled to London recently, I could easily visualise how things would have been different 50+ years back. I appreciate the small nuances the author describes of East London. I can imagine the snootiness of the English and how high handed they behave when encountering a colored person! The solution provided in the book is unrealistic in the short term, but can be a definite natural one in the long term.
Above all, it is a small book of 189 pages and one cannot bring oneself to put it down till the last page!
In summary, it is a worthy reading for a short travel or wait!

My bus-mate
I'm puzzled abt something that happened today morning and am very curious to know the reason ! If anyone could explain with logic, I'd be grateful!
Well, daily morning very enthusiastically I reach the company bus stop on time and began to look forward. To boost my motivation, my hubby dear also accompanied me. We both were chatting, when I started feeling anxious and wondered aloud if the bus had already left! I was wondering whether to phone the only other guy who boards the bus from that stop to check if he is in the bus. What if he was in bed ?
It was then that my hubby told me that ur bus-mate had arrived and I was a bit relieved on seeing him. Last week, me and my bus-mate were faced with a similar scenario. We realised that we had missed the bus and took an auto to office. I didn't have the change to pay the auto driver and told the bus-mate who paid. Thats when I took his mobile number to return the money. Next morning, I returned the money promptly to him.
While I was thinking all these past events, he had summoned an auto and hurrying in. He was standing far from me to ask or call. He pushed himself into the auto and the auto carried him away. I started wondering if he is going somewhere else or if he is rushing back home as I found his behaviour puzzling.
My hubby interrupted my thoughts by asking if he had seen the bus leaving already. I convinced myself by saying that the bus might be still coming and that we can wait for 5 more minutes before proceeding.
As it turned out to be, the bus never came. My hubby went home, took the car and dropped me at another bus stop from where I took an auto after a short wait.
Inside the car, I asked him why the bus-mate didnot inform me of missing the bus or asked me to share the auto which would have saved him around Rs.50. I wanted to ask the bus-mate the next day why he behaved so. My hubby said that he would not be asking the bus-mate if he were me!
Why?
Why not?
I'm still wondering... What could be the reason?
