Rang de Basanti

An excellent movie, everybody should watch it. Excellent casting.
It gets full marks in all departments, great content, great treatment and presentation.

Saw "Krish's" promos looks promising. We might just get our own costume hero and who else could be better fit for the role but Hrithik.

Move On

Her first job, she was so naïve and innocent, she couldn’t for heaven fathom why people had to play games? Her first crush, surprisingly the memories are still fresh. She wasn’t interested in the game, she moved on.

New place, new people, new things to do. She was scared and lost. She thought she will fail, but proved herself wrong. Met some wonderful people, her best friends now. Same games here, before cynicism could set in, she quit and moved on.

She vowed to be successful this time. Infatuation, hard work and fun, that was some jumble. She managed to stay away from the game and still make a name. Only to realize this was not what she really wants and moved on.

With anticipation she took on something new only to realize it’s the same game. In and out of jobs is no big deal she’s done that before. But this time its different for her, she deliberated before making the decision. Lots of hope and some trepidation for companions she is ready to move on.

So much has changed, nothing is familiar any more
At times I think its for good, sometimes wish everything was same
A shadow cast over Merry days, not willing to lift
Tomorrow a new day will dawn and only memories will remain.

My next visit here will be in April, until then CIAO, bye, Khuda hafeez, phir milenge.

Yesterday the whole day I was humming Emran Hashmi’s latest song. WHY? Well er, I don’t know just couldn’t help it.

So on the way back from a client meeting when Manju could not take it any longer. She tried to make some conversation with me. She said, ‘How lucky is this guy all songs picturized on him become hits’. I said yes why him, why couldn’t I get all the luck, I sure do need it. At which Manju said when God was distributing luck I must be whiling my time away on a swing. That made sense.

But come to think of it here is a guy nobody I know likes, but he is successful and making lotsa money. This guy has made a niche for himself just by being himself, i.e sleazy. Uday Chopra had tried that but his approach was too subtle and he wears too much make up.

I have come to a conclusion to be successful one has to be sleazy, with the in your face attitude a la Hashmi. I wish someday Hashmi will come up with a book named, ‘Seven sleazy ways to be successful’ or ‘The Art of Successful Sleaziness’. Until then I will keep swinging and if I get any spare time will watch his movies.

Stranger

I roamed this earth before, never alone
I gazed at the stars before, never alone
I travelled the oceans before, never alone
I soared the sky before, never alone
Now I am a stranger to you,
someday again it will be like before.
