फ़िर से exams

क्या तकलीफ है मुझे समझ नहीं आता. जब से engineering मोल ली है यब से जान की आफत बने बैठे हैं ये exams. अब कल से फिर चालू. दुखी ही कर रखा है.
अब तो inert ही हो गए हैं. हर महीने दे दे के exams अब फर्क पड़ना ही बंद हो गया है.

Ritika’s b’day

था तो 2nd October को but owing to the birthday being a national holiday, Aviral and Ruchika catching/suspected of catching swine flu and the b’day girl having prior commitments, we celebrated it yesterday. Went to watch Wake Up Sid! and then had lunch at Nirulas. Some of the photographs:

Here comes food

Read my lips. And see the mess.

Ek phool, paanch kaante

Peepulz. Almost all of those present.

10 bucks for a smile, Ok?

She got da groove mayne

No cake-cutting/smearing. No Ishank. Bad movie. Bad food.

Wake Up Sid!

It’s Ritika’s b’day treat and we all are off to watch Wake Up Sid! From the hearsay about the movie, I knew it’s a boy-turns-man story and has Ranbir Kapoor. Now, the subject has been beaten to death in Hindi movies and Ranbir Kapoor is a sight I cannot stand. I would have never gone to see the movie had it not been for the b’day party. So there I go, to watch a lethally mismatched Ranbir-Konkona couple with a bunch of prejudices against what I was yet to watch.

Sid is your just another ameer baap ka bigda beta, and all what he does is blowing up his doting Dad’s hard-earned fortune. Life is all hunky-dory as he bunks lectures, has pizzas for all meals of the day , parties every night and avoids office like plague. The spoilt brat meets the super-ambitious and fiercely independent Aisha and they hit it off like a house on fire. Sid’s world comes crashing upon his head as he fails his exams and thus has to get on his own, without his parents ka paisa. What follows is what we all have seen umpteen number of times: hardships come along, withdrawal pangs, the day of realization dawns upon him and voila, Sid ban gaya gentleman! Throw in a track about innocent friendship and companionship which eventually [and obviously] culminates into love and you have a story which has nothing fresh, nothing new to offer.

Wake Up Sid! in its first half keeps you guessing when the story will start inching forward. Had I been watching this on PC/DVD, I’d have boxed it in the first half an hour itself. The second half comes as a consolation prize with a few more romantic angles involving the protagonists, nice background score [no, actually] and of course, the end. The movie has no highs and lows. College-going/fresh graduates can certainly relate to various instances of the movie but otherwise the movie does not make you sit up and watch. It’s all way too predictable, too fancy and too staid.

Shehrazad’s advice? Stay off.

PS: 1. Konkona’s character reminded me of my dearest friend Priyanka. A girl just as willing to break free, stand on her own feet and a dusky beauty.

2. The best part about the movie was: no song-dance. Even as Ranbeer went clubbing so many times. Even as Konkona had her dreamy moments roaming about the city.

3. I don’t loathe Ranbir as much now after watching the movie.

Swine flu comes home

Ok yeah well I mean my college. So far the dreaded H1N1 existed only in the papers and news channels for me. And now it is right here, right now very much in my own friend circle. Two people of my extended college friend group have fallen prey to the disease. According to the teachers, the swine flu count of our college now stands at 3. It’s scary to be there now, and scarier because two of them belong to my immediate social circle.

The miscreants want a vacation declared in the college. Too good an idea to be true. *sighs*

Here’s wishing my friends and all the afflicted a speedy recovery.

And myself loads of luck.

Coming up: Best time of the year!

Diwali time!

Just the perfect time to be constantly upbeat and high for absolutely no reason. Relatives and guests coming and wishing. October sunsets which fall by 6 PM. And then the entire neighbourhood stupendously illuminated. Slight nip in air. Markets teaming with people and fancy stuff. Lazy evening walks and chitchats. So many things to eat. No college. What else could you ask for.

Feel-ful time is coming soon. Although I insist November is the ideal month for Diwali. After all, such a warm atmosphere is best relished in a colder, more romantique weather. O:)

PS: The weather has become cooler since yesterday. It now is what you would call October weather. No scorching sun, no 35+ temperatures. Pray it remains so.
