In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. - Douglas Adams

Bombay!! Here I come :)

I'm going to Bombay for a week.. Finally.. After 2 years... I just love the place... despite everything.. So basically that means that I wont be updating my blog for a week atleast.. Not that I do it that often as it is ;).. I might also go to the city I know so well even though I've never been there... Pune.. So FINALLY I'll get to see what all the fuss is about ;)... Of course knowing that Pune just has 2 streets and 7 avenues, it wouldnt be hard to get to know the city... eh anya ;)!! cya all in a week... I promise to give an account of all my antics in bombay and pune...takecare people and as I always say, dont do anything I wont do (though that list is very very very small ;))....

my lyrics for today:

You take away
I feel the same

You take away
I feel the same
All the promises you made to me you made in vain
I lost myself inside your tainted smile again

Cause you can’t feel my anger
You can’t feel my pain
You can’t feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can’t fight these feelings they will bring you pain
You can’t take away
Make me whole again

I feel betrayed
Stuck in your ways
And you rip me apart
With the brutal things you say
I can’t deal with shit anymore
I just look away
.......

You will feel my anger
You will feel my pain
You will feel my torment
Driving you insane
I can’t fight these feelings they will bring you pain
You won’t take away
I’ll be whole again

Mudshovel...

Staind : Mudshovel (am kinda in the middle of a stainD mood)


P.S. -: Check out clatix's music blog... Hez put some awesome songs on there...

Sloth to Activity in just a day

Ok, apparently I have become really lazy in updating my blog.. which is true but I didn't realize it until appu (I wanted to use the other nick she has but she wud've murdered me for sure if I did ;)) told me the same thing yesterday... So to show the prompt action that I can take when I want, here's a post...

It would've been really cool had I just ended the post at the last sentence... But oh well.. Since I've taken all the effort to come online on this fucking dialup connection I might as well write something...

BTW, I have this huge big grudge against VSNL-Tata Indicom people... I mean I thought a private company wasn't supposed to act like a bloody babu infested one... Becuz of the great broadband plans they have, I applied for a broadband connection from VSNL about a month back.. paid the money and was told that I would be getting a connection within 15 days... Like a nice guy that I am (yeah right ;)) I waited all of the 15 days and then called them up.. They said that they had some logistics problem that wud be solved within 10 days and I shud expect my connection then... Well again I waited like a freaking idiot... and now even that has passed and I've lost my patience... And I've been trying to talk to the person incharge, some territory sales manager dude but apparently he has gone on a vacation and there is noone else who can provide information.. My check in the meanwhile has been cashed.. I'm planning to go down the VSNL office sometime next week and give them a piece of my mind... You just don't expect these kind of things from Tata somehow... I could've gone in for a MTNL connection but I was skeptical of their 15 day claim (plus it was expensiver that VSNL)... but this is incredible.. No matter how many call centers we have, we would never learn customer service... Noone knows how to treat the people who earn you your living... I wonder why...

Ok.. now that thats out of the way... Music... I'm seriously planning to quit watching t.v. or listening to radio for a while... I end up liking the stupidest of songs... Ok fine.. I admit it.. I like a couple of songs from 'Dus'.. I was even planning to buy the tape but I stopped myself at the last moment... There, I admitted it... I'm sure Navneet wud be really happy hearing all this... Thats the only reason I'm not gonna tell him...

I watched 'Parineeta' last week... Its ok... I didn't enjoy it much, but everyone I know has been raving about it.. I found it tooooooooooooooooooooo slow... I'm sure if I hadn't had good company I wud've slept off... As it turned out, we had loads of fun, at the expense of the people around us.. and the actors in the movie... and now I'm waiting for 'War of the Worlds'.. That should be good..

did you know that there is nothing of any consequence on t.v. at 4 in the morning ?

my lyrics for today:

It's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
and it's been a while
Since I first saw you
It's been a while
since i could stand on my own two feet again
and it's been a while
since i could call you
But everything I can't remember as fucked up as it may seem
the consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

It's been a while
since i could say that i wasn't addicted
and It's been a while
Since I could say I love myself as well
and It's been a while
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like i always do
It's been a while
But all that shit seems to disappear when i'm with you
......

Its been a while
Since I could look at myself straight
and it's been awhile
since i said i'm sorry
It's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
It's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

Do I even need to name this song? The last 4 lines are my favourite..

Another Naseer in the making?

Yes!! He is that good... I'm talking about Randeep Hooda and his stellar performance in the movie "D"... If there was nothing else in this movie, it would have worked just for the sheer force of his performance... But there is a lot more to this movie than just that...

Firstly, the storyline isnt all that different from "Company".. It can be said that this is the prequel to "Company" and even though everyone denies it, it sure seems like it.... The director Vishram Sawant has done a wonderful job... The direction though not as slick as an RGV made Satya/Company is well above par... Another good thing about the movie is that its only 2 hours long... it remains fast paced and boredom is out of the question (even for anya ;))... Chunkey Pandey has played a good role in the movie though I think (as does the HT reviewer) that its inspired a bit from Bhiku Mhatre.. There's just one song in the movie but I think the director just put it for the heck of it... I think the movie would have been just as good without the song.. Actress Rukhsar whoz making a comeback (after a DECADE!!!) with this movie is a good choice for the role (and is decently hot too ;))...

And now for the cake... Mr. Hooda, whoz only claim to fame (besides the two bit role of the Australian returned hunk (who gets to kiss Neha Dubey.. &@%#^%^@) in "Monsoon Wedding") was being the boyfriend of Sushmita Sen, has actually proven his credentials... He is every bit the Ajay Devgan in "Company" for the lack of a better comparison... I would even say that there were traces of Michael Corleone in his character, but then, mabbe thats going overboard... This guy has trained under the great Naseeruddin Shah and I'm sure that has something to do with the performance hez given...

HT gave this movie 3/5 but I'm more inclined to give it a 4.. Its worth a watch... Just for the silent killer look that Randeep portrays... Here's hoping we dont have another Vivek Oberoi in the making :)...

my lyrics for today:

You and I got somethin
But it’s all and then it’s nuthin to me, yeah
And I got my defenses
When it comes through your intentions for me, yeah

And we wake up in the breakdown
With the things we never thought we could be, yeah

I’m not the one who broke you
I’m not the one you should fear
We got to move you darlin
I thought I lost you somewhere
But you were never really ever there at all

And I want to get free
Talk to me
I can feel you falling
And I wanted to be
All you need
Somehow here is gone

I am no solution
To the sound of this pollution in me, yeah
And I was not the answer
So forget you ever thought it was me, yeah

And I don’t need the fallout
Of all the past that’s in between us
And I’m not holding on
And all your lies weren’t enough to keep me here

And I want to get free
Talk to me
I can feel you falling
And I wanted to be
All you need
Somehow here is gone
