उडान

2010-10-19T06:53:00.000-07:00

It was one of the most awesome lines which I heard recently they go like this.

जो लेहरोन से आगे नजर देख पाती तोह तुम जान लेते मैन क्या सोचता हूं,
वो आवाझ तुमको भी जो भेद जाती तो तुम जान लेते मै क्या सोचत हूं.
जीद का तुम्हारे जो पर्दा सरकता तो खिड्किओसे से आगे भी तुम देख आते,
आखोसे आदतों की जो पलके हटाते तो तुम जान लेते मै क्या सोचता हूं.
मेरी तरह खुद पर होता जर भरोसा तो कुछ दूर तुम भी साथ-साथ आते,
रंग मेरी आखों का बांटते जरा सा तो कुछ दूर तुम भी साथ-साथ आते.
नशा आसमान का जो चूमता तुम्हे भी, हसरतें तुम्हारी नया जन्म पाती,
खुद दूसरे जन्म मे मेरी उडान छूने कुछ दूर तुम भी साथ-साथ आते.

It is from the film Udann directed by Vikramditya Motwanee.
Best bollywood film ever!!!

White Water Rafting at Kolad with Trekdi

2010-07-07T20:17:00.000-07:00

I had opportunity to have a taste of Hukka this Friday , I tested it felt something like Apple bubbles drinking, Suddenly our plan was preponed to Saturday from Sunday. I was too excited & really anxious baout the whole plan. I reached the FC at exact 5.45 AM & surprised to see i was the only one member present(As per the Schedule the vehicle is supposed to leave at 6.00 AM), I was really happy by seeing some beautiful faces which came after some time but the joy did not last long as they were part of other trek which left to Bimashankar. Our bus left at 6.30 AM . Driver was really boring he never touched 60+ Km/Hr.
We reached the spot at 9.15 AM and headed straight to instructions. It was funny but something new. Then we marched with our leader towards the river.
I wanted to took the driver seat as nobody was willing, In the practice session i got demoted to back seat as my rafting was really poor. Who cares ??

We started at 10.10 Am & WOW, it was really special, i mean i felt like the same when i did the Paragliding.

We had 3 major points where we had the best fun. At one particular point we were almost 70 degree tilted.
At the last point it was the swimming zone , as we were having the life jackets on we straight away jumped into the river.

I don't know how to swim but the next 1 hour in that water was the second best part of the the ride. the last part was really boring as that was the still water , we were really exhausted & had to raft that giant boat till the last point.
Overall a great exp to have , would like to have same in Hrishikesh where they say we get to see difficult of around 4-5.

In evening we went Banjara Hills, it was treat by Rajesh with his friend (Karad guy), even though the rates were so high the restaurant was full with crowd.Now I believe that on Sat/Sun every rest in Pune is Full.

Amazing Sunday

2010-07-06T02:39:00.000-07:00

I should have never expected to happen this in my wildest dream. Early morning we had an idea & we decided to follow it. It was first time for me in last 1.5 yrs & For Rajesh first in 4 yrs. We had nothing to loose so we just went. Crazy day everything turned out to our way & i was the lucky dog who came out smiling at the end of the day.I was feeling really special & happy that we still have that spark in us.
In evening I watched Rafa

winning Wimbledon 2010(First time his Girlfriend at the finals).

Here are few pics from the telegraph.co.uk

Krushnai Water Park, Pune

2010-06-23T07:06:00.000-07:00

We happened to visit this water park on 10'th May 2010.It was a fast plan & we 3 were really excited about whole day.
We did the worst thing by buying the branded swimwear in the morning which took 350/- straight away & the use of teh same will be hardly 1/2 in a year.
We headed to Singhgad at 11 & entered the park at 11:45 AM.The best part was the costumes were available on rent only for 30/- Rs & my branded one got teared away on the first ride.Whole day we had all rides almost 5 times.They have few but nice rides , I really hope they will add few more in coming days . Compared to water Kingdome of Mumbai it is nowhere near to the exp of WK.Seen some beautiful faces in water & had a good lunch.
While returning we replaced the garment(It got easily without having any ZIGZIG with the shopkeeper). We were totally exhausted by whole experience & went to sleep immediately after a fine dinner by Rajesh.

Wedding Organization Experience

2010-06-07T05:56:00.000-07:00

A marriage organization is really troublesome, you never know which problem you are going to face next. I can say that cause I was involved in my brothers wedding on 6'th June 2010. It started earlier night when few people from Bride's side came in the night for the stay. The rooms & washrooms systems were really dirty as the hall just had one wedding before we got the possession for the same.As they refused to clean the same till next day morning so we had to find out for the Lodge at 10.30 PM . We were lucky enough to get one.
Early morning breakfast plates & spoons were missing again run to get them. Co Ordination with all people plus everyone must be happy at the service were really huge problem whole day.(Many more to list...)
At the end of the day best advise I can give to anyone is get the event organizers & let them manage this whole mess OR let Bride's side manage the wedding ceremony.

Two and Half Men

2010-04-22T05:43:00.000-07:00

I have been lucky in terms of comedy serials in last 2 years, I have seen every single episode of FRIENDS now, SEINFELD was great fun too(Star world just stopped the airing the show),George Costanza was my favorite character, he is so looser that i couldn't stop laughing by his whole appearance in the show. 30 ROCK was fine too, but couldn't see much as they have stopped the screening.
& finally After closing 30 Rock they started TWO AND HALF MEN. this is been really funny, the small kid , his father & his uncle. Well i have seen few episodes & i think a lot of them & really wait for the next episode. I hope they air the complete 3'd & 4'th season .

Atlantis

2010-04-22T05:42:00.000-07:00

This was the place we decided to go for the team lunch in March, Its in wanwari. Nice location & great ambiance,
as that was the weekday we couldn't find many people but yes the food was good.When you pay 275/head you expect the service at your table thats why hate places like Yellow Chillies & Atlantis where you have got & get your food by your own.
Overall a good experience as the money was not paid from my pocket.

Asha Dining Hall

2010-04-22T05:41:00.000-07:00

After hearing a lot from from friends about the hall i finally went to this hall & yucks, why this is so famous, All typical puneri's were present but i really don't understand why it is so famous, After a lot of thought here are my observations.
1. It's on the JM road(Even a small pan tapari has good business in this place.)
2.Its really cheap for the thali(80 Rs/head), if you compare sukanta & Durvankur where they charge you around 200 RS this is the best place for the family to eat once a week outside.
3.Some reputation owner has build in last years.(How ?)

Well my advice will be go to Potoba or any small & have thali instead of waiting & spending you money to this place.Couldn't digest at All the hype.

Love Sex Aur Dhoka

2010-04-22T05:40:00.000-07:00

Dibakar bannergy's third film, really Different & though provoking.Movie was supposed to start at 10.30 Am but because of some technical problems it finally started at 11.30 & we were seeing microsoft error for one hour on the big screen.
The girl Shruti from from the film was really sweet. Dialogues were funny & reflected real life not karan Johar style.Bollywood need directors like Anurag Kashyap,Bannergy , Vishal Bhardwaj any few more.

Lots of Movies

2010-03-12T04:31:00.000-08:00

1. The Hurt Locker::
Great story & powerful performances, won 6 Oscars including best film

2. Crash::

3. Definitely Maybe::
Cute love story.

4. Fight Club::

Paragliding Mahabaleshwar

2010-03-02T20:59:00.000-08:00

After a long wait of 2 months finally we went for paragliding & man that was great :) . We started @ 6.30AM from kothrud due to really cold weather we reached Pachgani by 8.30 AM really early than expected.As wind was not upto the mark we had to wait for some time & ride started at 9.30. I was with Ajay the senior most person from Glider group.

At first we had to put the safety parachutes at our back & then run towards the Vally , the pilot was adjusting the control for whole session. It was like helicopter, after take up we really went very high.

then the best part occurs pilot swings the parachute a bit , not a bit by a fraction & those few seconds you are like about to die or something but when that comes to end we wanna have more.

Landing was great too. The ride was for 1500 Rs & came to an end really withing 15 minutes. Well though that is short time period, I'll remember this throughout my life for sure.

If you are in Mahabaleshwar , you must go inside the strawberry farm & we did the right thing. Had a lot of them in the field. We left immediately & reached Pune by 1.30 PM.

In the evening we finally bought the all cooking material & had the first Dinner @ Kothrud. Men was simple, Raita, Rice & Dal fry , Strawberry pie for the desert. Well that turned out to be the best food in recent times. Moments like these are really hard to find these days with so much stress around & i was lucky enough to enjoy such with my close friends

Sachin Hits 200*

2010-02-24T04:51:00.000-08:00

It was really great to watch this live in office, everyone was on their toes, finally after two long overs when Sachin got strike from Dhoni, there was the big Noise in office. The master steared the ball to off side & took the magical one run. This is the highest individual score by any player in one day international.
If any guy was here for interview he must have felt I should join this place only by hearing all noise by of employees.

Mumm ra & Unheard Songs

2010-02-23T23:49:00.000-08:00

Its really nice to hear new songs specially from the artists of whom you have no idea. There are 2 songs in 500 days of Summar "Sugartown" & "Shes got you high". Sugartown was really a peppy number & when Zooey Deschannel dances a little bit in this that's really what a true fan of her would like to hear again & again. When she sings like
"cos i'm in shu shu shu, shu shu shu,
shu shu shu shu shu shu sugartown."
I just loved this part. Coming back to the title, when the credits goes by this song is played after searching on Google i could found out it is by a British band name "Mumm Ra",

The guitar which they have played is simply amazing. after dropkick murphy i can easily count them as one of the best guitarist on my list.
Few days back I saw RockNRolaa by Guy Ritchie , "BackRobber" was the song which the small boy sings throughout the film & you can't get away with that even after watching this movie. Again Google to my rescue & found out the Artist & song details.It is by "The Clash" & it was recorded in 80's .
Well this is what is currently on my playlist & totally on my mind.

I Love You Man

2010-02-23T02:52:00.000-08:00

Had a blast this weekend , went to Dhiru's place. Seen the I Love you man. The plot was interesting.The lead(Paul Rudd) is a GirlFriend's Boy , He has no close male friends.when he proposes to her Girlfriend & found out that there is no one whom he can ask to play the role of BEST MAN, now the search begins & how his journey happens is the whole picture.It was hilariously funny in some parts.Really Liked it.Had the Basmati rice & Dal tadka along with Aloo Bujiya for Dinner.Life totally changes after marriage as he wanted to see "MAHI WAY" some daily soap at 9.00 PM. A fine ice cream at desert & we went to sleep.
On Sunday early morning we had the fever of study, so bought the book of Struts from ABC , checked the Strawberry Festival but to my surprise it was really costly compared to what we get in Malls, so bought the same from More for you.Hardly studied for 2 hours & wasted whole day watching TV.I wish that from next week onwards i do something that will be time well spent.

The Last Lecture

2010-02-16T06:52:00.000-08:00

I happened to read about The last lecture by Randy Pausch, After some googleing i went to here & what i witnessed was something uncommon , I am really happy that I found this.
Here are few magical quotes from this lecture(can't pick few as whole lecture is just mind blowing!!!)

Have something to bring to the table, because that will make you more welcome

You’ve got to get the fundamentals down, because otherwise the fancy stuff is not going to work.

When you’re screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they’ve given up on you.

I mean, Shatner, was the ultimate example of a man who knew what he didn’t know, was perfectly willing to admit it,and didn’t want to leave until he understood. That’s heroic to me. I wish every grad student had that attitude.

The brick walls are there for a reason. They’re not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.

Automobiles are there to get you from point A to point B. They are utilitarian devices, not expressions of social status.

Time must be explicitly managed, like money.

You can always change your plan, but only if you have one.I’m a big believer in to-do lists. It helps us break life into small steps.

Ask yourself: Are you spending your time on the right things?

Luck is indeed where preparation meets opportunity.

The Blind Side

2010-02-05T22:51:00.000-08:00

After watching "The Proposal" i can't ignore Sandra Bullock . She is 43 still i can't take my eyes away from her.
This was different film all together, It is a genuinely heartwarming tale of an abandoned teenager adopted by a wealthy family and guided to success. And it's all true.Most of the time film was predictable but the performances were great, May She get Oscar for this role ,She has a great chance as she already received Golden Globe for this performance.
Once in a while films like these really add a charm in your daily routine life.

It Happened One Night

2010-02-05T22:25:00.000-08:00

Franck Kapara is a genious, I was lucky enough to see "It Happened one night" and this was an unmemorable experience.
The film was released in 1934 & even today I enjoyed to the best extent, I mean this is something magical touch by all involved in the film.The lead actress(Claudette Colbert) is really sweet (Cristine is now my No 2 :)), Wow so much innocent smile and some of best things I see in women.
This is the origin of all Romance i believe, So many parts are copied as it is by Bollywood, All say they inspired by this but when you see by yourself you can't avoid to laugh on their comments.
Where can you find better romantic phrase than this

Ellie Andrews: Have you ever been in love, Peter?
Peter Warne: Me?
Ellie Andrews: Yes. Haven't you ever thought about it at all? It seems to me you, you could make some girl wonderfully happy.
Peter Warne: Sure I've thought about it. Who hasn't? If I could ever meet the right sort of girl. Aw, where you gonna find her? Somebody that's real. Somebody that's alive. They don't come that way anymore. Have I ever thought about it? I've even been sucker enough to make plans. You know, I saw an island in the Pacific once. I've never been able to forget it. That's where I'd like to take her. She'd have to be the sort of a girl who'd... well, who'd jump in the surf with me and love it as much as I did. You know, nights when you and the moon and the water all become one. You feel you're part of something big and marvelous. That's the only place to live... where the stars are so close over your head you feel you could reach up and stir them around. Certainly, I've been thinking about it. Boy, if I could ever find a girl who was hungry for those things...
[she comes around the blanket "Walls of Jericho" and kneels by his bed]
Ellie Andrews: Take me with you, Peter. Take me to your island. I want to do all those things you talked about.
Peter Warne: You'd better go back to your bed.
Ellie Andrews: I love you. Nothing else matters. We can run away. Everything will take care of itself. Please, Peter, I can't let you out of my life now. I couldn't live without you.
[she cries in his arms] 

This was the sure classic & I am fortunate to say I have seen both of them by Kapara (Its a wondeful Life & It happened One Night). I still amazes me how such a simple thought rules human mind even after 75 years . I believe some emotions are irrelevant for the generations. I really hope my children [ When they will :) ] will also fall in love with the simplicity & originality of IHON.

Up In The Air

2010-02-05T22:18:00.000-08:00

It was funny , really funny !!!
I have gone through the process of layoff & how it feels when someone you don't even know hands over the termination letter. I have experienced the exact felling last yest, Date was 6 January 2009 :) so it was really good to see that stuff in the film & portraying me along the people whome Cloney fires.
George Cloney plays his role brilliantly so the other cast.I really enjoyed this film. The following lines are the best ones which say stay out of commitments.

"How much does your life weigh? Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack. I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life... you start with the little things. The shelves, the drawers, the knickknacks, then you start adding larger stuff. Clothes, tabletop appliances, lamps, your TV... the backpack should be getting pretty heavy now. You go bigger. Your couch, your car, your home... I want you to stuff it all into that backpack. Now I want you to fill it with people. Start with casual acquaintances, friends of friends, folks around the office... and then you move into the people you trust with your most intimate secrets. Your brothers, your sisters, your children, your parents and finally your husband, your wife, your boyfriend, your girlfriend. You get them into that backpack, feel the weight of that bag. Make no mistake your relationships are the heaviest components in your life. All those negotiations and arguments and secrets, the compromises. The slower we move the faster we die. Make no mistake, moving is living. Some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically over a lifetime. Star crossed lovers, monogamous swans. We are not swans. We are sharks."

Good Will Hunting

2010-01-30T23:26:00.001-08:00

This is one of the best line I have encountered in movies.

So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid. And I'd ask you about war, you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right, "once more unto the breach dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. I'd ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer. And you wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in the hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes, that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you. You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much. And look at you... I don't see an intelligent, confident man... I see a cocky, scared shitless kid. But you're a genius Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, and you ripped my fucking life apart. You're an orphan right?

Free Stuff( You are always Delighted by that)

2010-01-30T03:09:00.000-08:00

Though I was feeling bit ill with cold and mild flu(not swine flu), when there is an chance to hang out with friends you should never ignore them. I did the same.
We saw the morning show of ZombiLand. Wasn't a bad movie & really not the great one as well. Simple & funny with a new concept executed pretty well.
We went to Rama Krishna for the lunch.Food was really good & the Best part was we got the deserts for free!!! . The restaurant was having its Birthday & they offered all customers free desert. It was Kasata. I really like the free stuff, I do. When something unknowingly comes to me e.g I get my salary that is not the happiest part but when I get dividend on my Mutual funds thats the most exciting thing/I get the gifts from friends.
After a really Hot filter coffee we went to "Vijay Sales" where we were supposed to buy 21" color TV for my friend , Finally they brought that from Big Bazzar as they were having "SABSE SASTE 4 DIN" ( Free Stuff :) ).

Creative EP-630

2010-01-24T06:52:00.000-08:00

I really hesitate to shop online, this time i had no choice after searching in almost evry corber of Pune, i didn't find any shop for this headset & no one seemed intrested in getting them. I ordered them from ebay. Surprisingly i used the discount coupon they sent me last week & i saved few hundreds. The service was really nice. I received my pair of headset on 22'nd January. That was the best Gift on my Birthday. (I am not sure why the octoroi has been charged extra as i have ordered books from Flipkart & this is never happened with them)
The sound quality is just awesome , I have heard the songs from Sony earplugs & these are definitely one step ahead from them.

500 Days Of Summer

2010-01-22T01:22:00.000-08:00

500 Days Of Summer

This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy, Tom Hansen of Margate, New Jersey, grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met the one. This belief stemmed from early exposure to sad British pop music and a total mis-reading of the movie 'The Graduate'. The girl, Summer Finn of Shinnecock, Michigan, did not share this belief. Since the disintegration of her parent's marriage she'd only love two things. The first was her long dark hair. The second was how easily she could cut it off and not feel a thing. Tom meets Summer on January 8th. He knows almost immediately she is who he has been searching for. This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story.

I was really expecting a lot from this one & I was not disappointed at all. Zooey Deschanel is so sweet for her I can ignore most of the problems from that film.I really loved this film, typical bollywood(Hero singing in the road), Cleverly edited to move front & back , delightful performances by the all actors.Autumn was sweet too. :)
Most days of the year are unremarkable. They begin, and they end, with no lasting memories made in between. Most days have no impact on the course of a life. May 23rd was a Wednesday.If Tom had learned anything... it was that you can't ascribe great cosmic significance to a simple earthly event. Coincidence. That's all anything ever is. Nothing more than coincidence.

3 Idiots

2010-01-12T02:35:00.000-08:00

I like to advance book the show before watching the movie, this time we didn't . It was the 4'th week f 3 Idiots & I thought i can easily get the Tikcets but to my surprise whole Sunday was houseful @ the regular halls.Now we are left with the only choice of Regular show which is really costly. Its 275 Rs per ticket !!! This was the highest ticket which I have paid till date. I thought who will afford to pay this much money but I was wrong the show was Houseful. The spending capacity of the Youth has increased by a lot.
I like this guy, Raju Hirani. He has created the Munnabhai series & now this one based on Chetan Bhagat's FPS. Well I have read that book twice & anyone can easily co relate most of the screenplay from the book, He deserved credit for the story but these film giants refused, which was really sad.
Ladakh picturisation was the most beautiful part. I would really like to spend this year's Holiday over there,After movie I went to My friend's new flat, though it is bit far from the main road, now we have 3 spacious rooms.After a lot of Masti & great food my weekend came to an end.

1'st January 2010

2010-01-01T08:07:00.000-08:00

Had a great start to this year by watching "Vicky Cristina Barcelona", really nice peace of art by Woody Allen. Really enjoyed the whole concept. There are few things in our garden going on these days. The AAMVLA is fully into the swing , I mean this is the first time I have seen so many of them on this tree.

The second part which I love the most is the Honey Bee Hive on the lemon tree. When they started that was really tiny but in last few day they have really grown like crazy. I really like them.

In the afternoon I went to see my college friends , really laughed on all the memories which we had in those days , Nothing is changed, except from the fact that

1. I am the only one who has not visited any country yet, All of them have been to Europe/US in last 2-3 years.
2. I am Bald now
3. Still i am really very happy, Really i have got the best family, cool friends & my job is not bad either & Enjoying the life the way its coming.
We had the "RUM PUNCH" at Baskin and Robins ,

that was nice, but the discussion we had was great , we were never short of topics that was the best thing. Sometimes I often see people who don't know what to bring out at the table but we were lucky :) .Laughed out big time .
The year started on the positive note , looking forward to get moments like these in future.

The Year 2009

2009-12-30T21:39:00.000-08:00

Started with the BANG , I got layed off from my company on 7'th Jan because of recession.On the next day the Satyam bubble busted, market was really bad , My investments in the mutual fund were down by 70%. No interview calls for first few weeks. Days were bad.Luckily in last week of Jan I found a job in a start up.Joined here in February.
I learned lot in all aspects this year. My manager is the best Gentleman I have ever encountered in my life yet. So positive,so much successful at an young age, an opportunist, full of life & truly an inspiration for every one.Technically solved some of the complex things(Papal and financial gateways), got to work on some best architecture, got to know how start ups work & what is Angel investment, Venture capitalist, Business plans & all business aspects of a company on which it grows.
Had some great trips this year, as usual we went to Dive Agar & Raigad after monsoons that was great,Lohgad with my office colleagues,Went to Nagpur to Dhiru's wedding, I missed the Vijay's engagement but make the cup full when he'll get married.Went to some of the finest restaurants in town this year. Kwality,China Grill,Yellow Chilies, Malaka Spice,Haka........ to name a few.
Watched some of best movies, which was perfect.Some of things on the wish list came into reality this year, A cool Firefox cyclone(21 Gear power bike), LCD monitor for awesome experience in movie watching, Broadband connection at home.
All in all a happy year came to end with Offer from my previous company to join again in Jan.I really hope things will turn up great this year too.I really wish to get some more wish-list things to tun into reality this year.

Twists 2

2009-12-24T08:46:00.000-08:00

It really went well, I really hope best in both ways, What I want to achieve in Life, I have few things in Mind , lets see how they turn up in forthcoming year.

Twists

2009-12-23T05:01:00.000-08:00

"Eden Lake" was the really terror film for me in last few years, Really scary sometimes u just want to go away from the show.Not at all predictable most importantly the end,

You can't imagine this while watching it.Really surprising & worth a watch.

I have been to this situation 3 months back & again same thing occurred, This time I don't want to miss this opportunity.I am really bad in making decisions & pathetic in the Fights. I just get into tears when someone just raise their voice.Lets see how it goes tomorrow, really hope things will tun up great.

AVTAR in 3D

2009-12-20T07:00:00.000-08:00

Wow,amazing,Enthralling, Out of the imagination!!! You can not even describe the feelings when you leave the hall after watching this masterpiece from the legend James Cameron, the sculptor behind Terminator 2 & Titanic.It was one the best experience at the movies i had till date.Simple story executed brilliantly by this genius. Fortunately i booked the show in advance so that i witnessed this MAN MADE MARVEL today . I was trilled by witnessing the gem he has created.
The best part of the movie as per me is the whole movie :)> Even from the first minute you just fell into this imaginary thing & it never looses its charm. 3D experience was the cherry on the cake , I have seen UP 3 months back but you can not even compare this with any one, the colors, atmosphere on pandora the greenery , the floating mountains, the battle , I can go on writing each & every thing. I will watch this one again for sure & If you are planing for this one please watch this in Hall & definitely in 3D.
Films like this are rarely happen & we must do our part which is to adore people like Cameron & Salute their talent which gives us the one of the best movie experiences one can have.
I am really bad in terms of remembering BirthDays & this time i missed my Buddy's B'day i felt really bad when i realized this at the end of the day.We had a great time all day long as usual Great food,Coffee & our Discussion on everything, almost everything :)

Marley & Me

2009-12-18T08:52:00.000-08:00

Just watched this really family film, By family I mean all parts story, screenplay,background score, dialogues just too good.Story was really simple , a couple adopts a worst dog ever who can't keep quite for a single minute & how their lives are changed after that event.Owen Wilson & Jeniffer Aniston did fantastic job as lead actors.
I really wanted to read this book when i saw that 2 years back all the time on Amazon's Bestseller list but couldn't get the copy & afterwords i just forgot about this,but i can say i am really lucky that film adaption was superb.
I have read "The Kite Runner" & watched the film by the same name but if you ask my opinion books are far better than movies as they just create an illusion in front of you.When you watch film you are seeing picture from the directors point of view.
Well I almost cried at the end , where the dog decides to go out of house in his last days.A true friend, a relation which is totally based on the love, which is really impossible with Humans, Each relationship has some expectations even the blood one too.

FlipKart

2009-12-16T21:17:00.000-08:00

Encountered with website few days back, UI looks great, shopping cart is really interactive & after reading lot of review finally ordered a book,"The Road by Cormac Mccarthy", that was in stock & expected time for delivery was 2-3 days, to my pleasant surprise book arrived in time & nicely packed & on top of that I got the big discount plus free shipping.I was bit afraid for on-line shopping but after this nice experience i find FlipKart as the best option for buying Books.
You get the best discounts,free shipping & best customer support from these guys as a result i have ordered the 2 new books 2 days back "Stay Hungry Stay Foolish by Rashmi Bansal" and "Missed IIT by Neeraj Chabia"

Mobiles..........

2009-12-15T07:33:00.000-08:00

Because of the price war between telephone operators the services are getting more cheaper these days , I remember the time , precisely 2'nd year of my engg, cellphones were new to us & incoming was 3 Rs/min , only few rich parents allowed their kids the mobile phones, Mr Belsare i really enjoyed your classes when few people would start the ringtones & you were all puzzled whats going on?. Nokia 3310 was the best phone at that time, even you had that simplest mobile with just snake game in it, you were in the elite group, We used to get in queue to play SNAKE ion that in our hostel. Things changes drastically when Reliance jumped into the market & incoming became free, Color screen handsets were the new craze .If you had a flap you were something at that time & the, all cool features came like bluetooth, GPRS, GPS, EDGE(Still not fully activated yet..)
Airtel used to charge 20 Rs/Day for the SADIAL speed. Now most of the networks are 3G ready so GPRS rates are down by a huge margin, 1 MB/1 Rs. I just experienced the TATA DOCOMO GRRS , its really worth , speed you get is 460 KBPS, which is pretty fine compared to other network standards. If you are using the Internet for only mail, blogs,search then definitely go for the GPRS packs from the operators. I hope these will come down as EDGE will give speed upto 3 GBPS, normal GPRS rates has to to come down significantly once its in fully ready stage.

Gym Facts.

2009-12-10T05:47:00.001-08:00

I have a Gym in my office building,on 3'rd floor, most of the health conscious people come with their branded stuff(Car, Branded track Suite,A food supplement bottle,.....), They get out from their car & go straight to lift. I really feel sorry for them, c'on guys U are going to exercise for next 1 hour, then why not give a small warm-up by using stairs, but No i have paid the money so I'll use all facilities.
I strongly believe in walking, Everyday if you take 20 minutes walk, there should not be any need of all this Hype unless you are in show business where your life depends on your physique.

This is one the cool email i received in last week

गेल्या आठवड्यापासून मेली माझी दाढ दुखू लागली आणि आयुष्यात पहिल्यांदा मी दाताच्या डॉक्टरची पायरी चढले. रिसेप्शनमध्ये बसले होते, तर सहज नजर डॉक्टरांच्या डिग-यांच्या सटिर्फिकेटांवर गेली. त्यांचं पूर्ण नाव वाचून मी तर गारच पडले. नंदकिशोर प्रधान... म्हणजे आमच्या शाळेतल्या वर्गाचा हीरो. गोरा गोरा, उंचापुरा, कुरळ्या केसांचा राजबिंडा मुलगा. आता खोटं कशाला सांगू, माझ्यासकट त्या वर्गातली प्रत्येक मुलगी मरत होती नंदूवर. या वयात छातीची धडधड वाढलीच माझ्या...

... आत गेले आणि नंदूला पाहून चाटच पडले. डोक्यावरचे केस मागे हटले होते. लहानपणचे गोबरे गाल आता फुगून गोल गोल झाले होते. पोट सुटलं होतं. निळे डोळे चष्म्याआड झाकले गेले होते. तरीही त्याचा रूबाब कायम होता.

त्याने मात्र मला ओळखलं नव्हतं. तपासणी झाल्यावर मीच त्याला विचारलं, 'लहानपणी तुम्ही आपटे प्रशालेत होतात का?'

' हो.''

' दहावी कधी झालात? सिक्स्टी सिक्सला का?'

' अगदी बरोबर! पण, तुम्हाला कसं कळलं?'

' अहो, तुम्ही माझ्या वर्गात होतात,' सांगताना मी चक्क लाजलेच...

... तर तो टकल्या, ढापण्या, ढोल्या, थेरडा नंद्या विचारतो कसा, 'कोणता विषय शिकवायचात तुम्ही मॅडम!!!'

Something Funny

2009-12-06T07:54:00.000-08:00

I just remembered few incidents which happened 5-6 months back but they are still fresh on my Mind.We were at our Managers House, This is the best house I have ever visited till date, Mystro society NIBM Pune, 8’t Floor. Duplex flat & Swimming pool on roof, All musical instruments in Hall, a Big aquarium giving the extra essence to whole environment & best part was the Theater room. Well I saw a big plasma i thought this will be a fun to watch but infact I saw a movie on a projector & real screen ,the sitting arrangement is better than INOX, Be live me the sound system was that good that the place crashing i almost witnessed in that room.
Well here comes the funny part. I went into the washroom & I was really amazed by all the royal look of it, I thought I have closed the door but that wasn’t closed. I was peeing & suddenly the door opened & then I was like what the Fuck just happened to me ? Thank god that was not the House Lady , a big relief for me, She was my colleague from the office . I felt pretty embarrassed whole day. I was unable to make eye contact with her next few days , How could I?

I have just watched the Knocked Up, it was really funny. I mean the male lead played by a big, fat, clumsy guy , who happen to make a gorgeous, pretty & very much sexy lady pregnant by accident of course both get drunk & we know the rest.In between there is an incident in which The girl’s sister was too bossy to her Husband who is really smart & too good for her. Well these 2 guys meet & get drunk again. Then our fat guy asks him how could you adjust with bossy wife of yours , He replies I can’t take my wife’s love anymore, that is too much for me. On the coins next side The fat guy’s problem is Her pregnant girl does not like him anymore. He says I never thought I’ll have sex with someone like her in my wildest dream & that happened to me , I feel lucky but we are screwed from either ways, I want acceptance & you are sick of that. Well I have no idea how marriages work but after this 2 hours of fun I am bit scared of the same.

Taken
Super action & great performances by all, It makes you feel like you are watching the Bourne Series. Loved it.

Into The Wild
First 30 minutes were pretty boring then really superb film , makes you really think on what you really need in life & at what costs.
The Bank Job & Crank
These days I like Jason Statham, Most of my friends says i look like him(Bald :)).
27 Dresses
I really Like romantic comedy films & Anne Fletcher does that pretty well. Sometimes you wonder are you watching a bollywood film or what?
Body Of Lies
Leonardo is the finest actor & This was really intelligent film made , Liked it from start, the Girl from Jordan specially.

Its a Wonderful Life

2009-11-27T04:58:00.000-08:00

I really don't remember when I was cried like this after seeing this one. One of the most beautiful film i have ever seen in life.Really moves you I mean when He goes to house & all people collect money for him & his brother says "To My Big Brother George, The Richest Man In Town" I couldn't resist my tears.I am really happy that I witnessed this classic. I would definitely recall the moments from the film when I'll be disappointed on anything.
You must connect with people, "No man is a failure who has friends, Thanks for giving me my wings" , this was the message the angel gives to George when he left a note giving thanks.I'll never forget the fine moments this gen given to me. Thanks Frank Opara !!!!

Dhiru's Wedding (21'st Nov 2009)

2009-11-25T04:49:00.000-08:00

Couldn't sleep that night because of some Masti. Had only 3 hours sleep which caused the Digestion issues early morning for all of us.We reached the airport by 4.50 AM taking a New I20, boy the car is really nice.

Had a large queue at the entry itself.Got the boarding passes & waited. Really happy that i took my Bro's credit card from which we made the booking otherwise it would have been a disaster as a guy in front of me was asked to made full payment with new credit card.(He would get his money within 24 hours.)
We were the last 4 people to get on board which caused us last row.We almost delayed the flight by 10 minutes.
We landed in Nagput @ 7.10 AM. We reached the Hall by 7:45 after getting fresh we had the breakfast(Really nice Udapi dishes).We met the Groom & his parents then we moved to meet Rajesh's Friend.After that meeting we had a great time with the Feta.

Enjoyed lot in the Baarat.

Marriage started exactly @10.15 AM. After great lunch we moved to Cinemax. We saw Kurbaan. I really never thought that I'll go to Nagpur & will see a movie there but that happened.We had a train @ 6.35 PM so we did some shopping in Globus then moved here & there & walked like 3 KM to reach the train station.We can still see teh cycle Rickshaw in Nagpur.

I felt i was roaming in Laxmi road while walking on that Road.
After the sadial meal in train i went to sleep by 9 pm , though it was 3 tier AC coach,
we really missed the flight that evening. Nagpur railway station looked pretty good that evening, well this is the exact central place of the India.

I sincerely felt on that journey that we should never compromise on travel we you can afford that. I cannot imagine boarding on sleeper class ever.
We reached Pune @ 9.30 AM & picked our bags from Vijay's place & headed fo home. As a die-hard movie fan a was "Taking of the Pehlam 123" & " The Proposal (Sandra bullock 45 still looks Hot)" .

Recent Films

2009-11-19T20:26:00.000-08:00

12 Agree Men

A classic !!! Really speechless after watching this masterpiece.One single court room & 12 different people with 12 different views.
After watching this i came to know what do you mean by CHARACTER STUDY.

UNTOUCHABLES

Finally seen this highly talked gangster film. I must say a lot of bollywood films are inspired by this one. This was good but I feel Goodfellas & Departed are far ahead compared to this. Yet to see Godfather.

The Butterfly Effect

Movie was engaging from start to end but i didn't get what the director wanted to tell. Sometimes I felt I lost the link of the film. Frankly i didn't understand most of the part.

Burn After Reading

The worst Hollywood comedy film i have seen till date. Though the actor list contain Brad Pitt, George C loony , I honest opinion is what were you guys thinking while creating this crap.

Memoirs Of a Geisha

2.25 Hrs. & not at al boring. The small girl was really cute. I re winded the seen where the Guy ask her to Smile when she is having the ice cube .

Ajab Prem ki Ghajab Kahani(8 Nov 2009 in Fame Pune.)

Movie with your friends is always special & this time we all were together.Pretty predictable but not boring at any point.Katrina was amazing through out the film, I like Pritam these days , Though he copy the music but He generates some unique Hits all the Time.Chicken Masala & Dal Tadka @ Lunch was the best part happened that day, we ordered chicken twice , I almost had 6 roties that day.This will be our last movie with Dhiru as he'll get marry in next couple of days.

Tridal & 2 Sates

2009-11-19T20:24:00.000-08:00

Tridal

She has always fascinated my views on Woman Literature & this was no exception. She was really fabulous in scripting the life of 3 characters.
Sharda the Lead character fall in love with her best Friends Brother who is really smart & all feel she is not the right choice for the a guy like Him but they still got married & how things
goes in their lives.She has unique style in portraying the characters which u can easily co relate with your surroundings.
Had a great time with this novel, Looking forward to Marva a short story collection by her.

Two States

When I read Five Point Someone I was really amazed by his writing skills, When i went through One Night @ Call Center, 3 Mistakes Of My Life I was really disappointed.
Now when i came to Two States, well it was real surprise, I really liked It. It was a full timepass for 6 hours. Some great humour, Nice romance & typical bollywood masala story.
You can't expect 5PS all the time, I was quite happy after reading this.

Encounter With Lightning

2009-10-01T02:04:00.000-07:00

Date ::: 30'th September
Time ::: 8:10 PM
Place::: Kirloskar Bridge, Hadapasar, Pune.
I was riding on my Bike & suddenly something happened,really scary,something from above landed, it was a lightning on my Bike !!!,
That was the heavy rain which rarely happens in Pune,For few minutes I didn't understand what the hell is happening,
I sensed the biggest electricity Jhataka of my life.It started from left hand & went up to shoulder,next thing I remember is I am on the ground & that's it. That got over with the
rocket launching blast from sky. For next 2 minutes I was just laughing that I am still alive.
Well but that was close, really close, Almost all emotions came out of me. Pls I don't want to die so early .........

UP (3D) 24'th Sep

2009-09-25T02:22:00.000-07:00

Finally I got a chance to see an 3D movie in Hall & it came from Pixar. The best part was there were only few people in multiplex because of Swine Flue tension in city. Fame just opened their 2'nd multiplex in City (Fatimanagar) & we went to the same.We were really excited by the 3D glasses. Some of the parents couldn't resist their smiles while watching our excitement.

Here we are giving some fight to all the kids came with their parents

Before the show I saw the finest performance by Rajesh (The dance in the washroom ) that was the biggest show ever for me :).Finally the show started & pixar did it again.From start to end
it was visual treat for all people(A lady sitting behind me was so involved that she came with comment's like "How cute !!!","Wowwwwwwww "& .... all feminine things...).This was the first animation film I saw in Hall & I felt really Lucky. I really admire all those talented people who come up with such great ideas & some finest touch to cinema.Though it was Animation everyone in the Hall could relate the story with their own life.
Pixar guys have set the level to the greatest height where you say what can they do better than this & every time they come with the finest touch you have no other option than applauding & feeling proud that you witnessed the masterpiece again.
This was our 4'th time in HAKA , we started with veg Haka soup , Quantity & Quality both were at park. Main course we chose Chinese pan noodles , that was different, Lots of vinegar & some new vegetables in the quite saucy gravy.We had some finest jokes while eating. Chocolate brownie(My personal favourite) was the perfect desert to that fine evening.

Raigad & Dive Agar via Varandha

2009-09-25T01:43:00.000-07:00

This was a random thought which we implemented very well by organising tour on 12'th & 13'th. The caption of the tour was "One is getting married so he wants to enjoy before is happily ever after,
1 is trying hard but no success yet, 2 Uncles are loosing their hair so they just need break from all this crappy daily routine, 1 is really depressed because of..'s wedding, so we have only 1 Hero i.e the entertainer". We started from Kothrud early morning , had some below average Nashta @ Tamhini & headed towards Raigad, picked the Bhel material @ Mangaon , had lots of apples before we started Hiking.
Our entertainer decided to go by Rope Way, I actually thought going up to but started Hiking only.
Last time we were here in April, Hot summer & Nude Hills ,

This time was superb,

everything was lusty green, some small waterfalls in between, we climbed the fort in 55 Minutes.As usual Vijay was far behind otherwise we would have took less time.
We had our lunch in BAJARPETH.

Then it started raining heavily, we were stuck in RajSadar for one & half hour.I wanted to go to Jagdishwar temple but couldn't, we all came down by Rope way.
This was fun, I was really scared when it took Off, We were in cloud for 5 minutes then at halfway clouds start disappearing & the view was exceptional.I was really happy that i had that ride(One of things from my wish-list is gone :)), We had tea @ beautiful place on Mubai-Goa highway. We were sitting on the edge of the river very close to a farm, Konkan rail across the Hill & some Hot Bhajjies @ our table.
We reached Dive Agar very late so missed our Sunset, Couldn't had a great dinner as our regular guy was not Taking orders that day so had a simple food.The place was superb though(Simple,Neat,Clean).
After dinner we went to beach, Sea was roaring like monster,You are on a out of network place , with your best friends (little kick on your brain) & a lonely night,I really hope their should be any dry season like these moments in my life.
Next day early morning we went on the beach & had all crazy stuff, Sun bath, Sand bath, Valley Ball,

Cricket. Next to our group I saw a family of 3 people enjoying together, Husband , wife & their small kiddo. that looked nice(After few years I'll be with my own family without my friends on vacation :().We had booked our lunch with Mr Todankar, because of their renovation, they had closed their food services which they started with our group & the food was ..... .Soul Curry(I had 3 bouls),Modaks(3 giant pieces) & some simple but tasty dishes.

Was totally fulfilled all expectations of this trip.While coming back we took a different path than regular, we came by Varandha & this was the Cherry on the Top for our trip.
The weather was amazing, Last year we were here in the beginning of Monsoon , this year we were at the time of end,

The best part was the condition of the road , seriously this was better that Tamhini.

We took a stop @ the same place where we did last year.To my surprise there was one guy dancing some cool steps in his own ZING, seriously I thought he is a professional dancer, some simple steps beautifully performed.Clouds were following us all the way till Bhor.

Dinner we took @ a Dhaba on Pune-Banglore Highway near to Pune.This was really good time spent with my friends.

District 9

2009-09-16T01:05:00.000-07:00

One of the Best SciFi film i seen in recent years.When film started i found it like a documentary, but when things picked the grip it was really a Masterpiece.Aliens shown in the film looked really real. The small alien shown was really Shaitan by all his activities.

completed with a question mark whether they are going to make sequel of It? I hope they will, because i really want to know what happens after 3 years.Such a original idea, great casting,awesome performances & fabulous graphics. This will be in my mind till the sequel comes !!!

Kim Clijsters The Super Mom with Cuty !!!

2009-09-15T01:32:00.000-07:00

Here are some pics which I found on net with Jada her daugher after winning the US open tournament.

Seven

2009-09-11T05:55:00.000-07:00

Yesterday saw Seven on WB, wasn't expecting that good but it surpassed my expectations, This was a great thriller & suspense story. Morgan freeman as retiring office & Brad Pitt as a young successor to him, wow what a great casting.
Everything went perfect, I was really shocked by the climax, Kevin Spacy got very short role but He took almost all credit. This was really cool experience.
Went to QS today. Things looks like they will work, Lets see how they turn up in future.
Anxiously waiting for our Dive Agar trip tomorrow.This will be our 6'th Visit in last 2 years. The place is really good, the nature the beach,food, We couldn't find a better place than Dive Agar for short excursion like this for 2 days.

Before Sunrise

2009-09-08T23:30:00.000-07:00

How could I express my thoughts on this, This was the most romantic film ever for me(Yet to see Casablanca). From start to end this was a pleasure. The dialogues were crunchy,Cinematography was the best literally felt I m in Vienna with them , though you feel sometimes they should have increased Budget but what worked great is the ultimate chemistry between these two guys namely Jessy & Celene.

The way he asks her out for that night was really cool."Alright, alright. Think of it like this: jump ahead, ten, twenty years, okay, and you're married. Only your marriage doesn't have that same energy that it used to have, y'know. You start to blame your husband. You start to think about all those guys you've met in your life and what might have happened if you'd picked up with one of them, right? Well, I'm one of those guys. That's me y'know, so think of this as time travel, from then, to now, to find out what you're missing out on. See, what this really could be is a gigantic favor to both you and your future husband to find out that you're not missing out on anything. I'm just as big a loser as he is, totally unmotivated, totally boring, and, uh, you made the right choice, and you're really happy." So cool isn't it?

The poem by the river is the BEST romantic conversation it goes like this,

Daydream delusion, limousine eyelash
Oh baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet-cakes and milkshakes
I'm a delusion angel
I'm a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don't want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we're going
Lodged in life
Like branches in a river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I carry you
You'll carry me
That's how it could be
Don't you know me?
Don't you know me by now?

The virtual phone where they pretend as they have called home was really sweet . I almost thought that Imtiaz Ali got his idea of Jab We Met from this one.
I feel really lucky as I have seen this masterpiece , really enjoyed it from the bottom of my heart. Most of the times she made me think that she is Phoebe Bufe from Friends(Looked almost like her.) & she is my favourite character from that show.. Only thing I didn't like was it came to end so fast & they depart leaving a question mark on my Mind , Why did they do that , this should go on & on..........

Last 2 Months

4'th august
Olakh Na Palakh
We had dinner @ Gandharva , was Ok. We were really worried from swine flu which was really brutal in Pune City, which almost took 35 lives in city till date.This was the worst show I have ever seen on stage. Disgusting comedy, Poor acting & some really faltu jokes. I was laughing @ the people who were laughing for these jokes.I stayed @ Vijay's Place that Night , I really hope I will have a House in city too someday.

Last few Weekends

Saw some good movies in Between.
Ek dav Dhobipachad (Later i realised this was copied line to line from movie called Oscar)Mukta was fun in that one

Changling: I cried twice while watching this Clint Eastwood's fine film. Angelina acted too well i wonder how Kate winslet won for Reader.

Enchanted Amy Adams i really love you. You were too great in that Princess roll.I never thought 'll enjoy such films but Man she was great.

The Reader This was i don't know how this was Hit, such a boring drama with some Nudity thats it.

Prestige Khistopher Nolan is amster of Dark tragedies. This was no exception some fine perfrmances by every one.

Love in December A play by IIT Mumabi students, was really good , It was 1 Hr show & that was sweet.

Schinder's List Cried like baby @ end when he found out why i have this Car which would have saved few more JEWS. This is a masterpiece for sure.

The terminal Catherine zeta Jones is a pleasure to watch any time , Movie was Ok not that great for director like Steven Spielberg.

Ice Age 3 Dawn of the Dinosaurs : Great charsters & awesome animation, This was really great moview i saw that twice this weekend. The new character introduced is so funny & full of action which really rings your head off by these developers capacity.

City of god : If you really want to see some gang war this is the Everest of this genre. Great cinematography , fine acting & based on real story , Really on of the finest films i have seen yet..

Kaminey I was expecting so many things from this one, but really not satisfied , Expectations were too hight after so many great reviews & all media hype but i found this an average fillm, waiting for Ishiqua now..

Books
I read Oli Suki by S.N Navare , This is a collection of short stories which were published in Losatta for year 2002 . Some great insights on living, I really felt these stories really looked like they are written by Va Pu sometimes, Both authors have some unique style which made you think the way characters are living by near by.

Was really worried last few days by the things happened in my professional career ,Really seems wrong the way they are going in AM & have some cool stuff going in my previous employer. Lets see how things work out in next few months.

5 July 2009

2009-07-07T02:49:00.000-07:00

Ratatouille::
How do they do this yaar? Pixar guys are the best in terms of Animation each time you wonder what will they give you after Nemo & here are they are with Ratatouille , WALL-E both were too good to watch. really looking forward for UP India release.

Made Of Honour::
Typical bollywood style film, sometimes you wonder is this the Hollywood one? But but the actress was so sweet & pretty you forget everything, she was wow!!!

Aamir::
Rajeev Kahnadelwal acts really natural. Movie was descent pretty good actually.Pace was good background score was amazing & 1 sufi song was just makes you feel like its Rahman (he is Amit Trivedi the DEV D guy)

Roger Federer defeated Roddick Again
I really wanted Rodick to win this time but Master did that again, Roger federed swiped his 15'th slam. He is greatest but I like Rafa.

Jane tu ya Jane NA:::
Why our stories has to end in Airport?Such an old end yaar. All they want to do is just copy & Paste the good things.Watchable just once.

The Shawshank Redemption:::

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. This was my 5'th time for this film.I never stays late in night but when you have movies of this calibre I can Night out for sure. Seriously one of the best movies I have seen till date. He thought it'll take him 600 years but he did it in just 20. Great saga of friendship,emotions,human values & what's more.

The HangOVER

2009-06-30T01:45:00.000-07:00

I was on seventh heaven on Wednesday as i won My first Competition prize for my first ever SMS to any show.
& RJ ADITI my favourite announced my name on that day, though actually they called me in evening for the confirmation. I got a couple tickets for INOX on this weekend(27 June)
I booked the show in afternoon for he Hang Over, I knew it will be hilarious & it happened the same way, My goodness it was laugh Riot.It was the best 2 hours I spent in recent times
Saturday evening i went for my College friend's wedding(Mustafa), It was a love marriage & both the Bride & Groom looked like Made for each Other.Food was great speciality the
Desserts. Sunday after Noon i had Lunch @ Rama Krishna such a prime location in the center of camp but so cheap in terms of BILL. Now these days even a small rest in any part of city will definitely charge
you way more than what they Charge you.
After Lunch we headed for Terminator Salvation, After long time i went to Victory Cinema.They say they renovated but couldn't see much Difference.Plus the worst thing was crowd.
Multiplex charge you more but uou see some fine crowd. My back was really giving me trouble so i thought I m gonna sleep after reaching Home but as usual i couldn't resist movies.
so 99 turned into 3'rd movie of this weekend. Quite funny film.Liked It.

Khana Peena Jeena(13 June 2009)

2009-06-19T04:52:00.000-07:00

This is the place near Chandani Chowk Kothrud, We had some really great talk, Long walk & some great view of pune city from there.
Food was pretty Ok Okbut the crowd was nice, now these days Saturday evenings you go to any place you will find rush in Pune city. Rajesh was Drunk so i was quite enjoying his
thoughts on various topics. After dinner we took a nice walk & that was pure , road was totally empty some soft breeze of cold air & our jokes on varios things. I enjoyed alot.
Next day morning we had breakfast at Wadeshwar , i saw one sinior citizen group next to our table, all of then on the vergr of their life end. How much you run way from
that brutal truth that is going to happen.You never know whats coming for you. Then we went to Agles & Demons movie was Ok, just popcorn masala one , i must say the actress was wow. She is in her 39'th year but man she was babe !.
After movie we had lunch at the Normal thali at NAIVAIDYAM.Then for 3 hours i watched Friends, i am totally fan of these 6 guys, The more i see it, i want more again. They are just
mind blowing. We went to camp in evening , saw one SALSA dance show by foreign dancers in Kadade Mall, That was really nice.Saw sone pretty faces & Our weekend came to an end.

Banagarwadi (7 June 2009)

2009-06-12T05:16:00.000-07:00

Banagarwadi
Finally finished this so much heard book by Venktesh Madgulkar, Book is pretty good but was expecting so much from this so not 100% satisfied.
Seen what a girl Wants, once watch able movie Ok OK. Really anxious for Angels & Demons lets do it on next weekend.

Silently falls the Bakula
This is Sudha Murtis first book, i found it OK, i mean there are so many great female oriented story tellers in Marathi literature, i have read Asha Bage's books & they are really far far ahead from Sudha Murti . Each is an different individual so I should not compare their writing but i like Asha's books more(Setu,Bhhomi)

Roger Fedrer finally won the French Open after loosing thrice last consecutive years to Rafa ,really happy for him, He was lucky as didn't face Rafa in final but He is master so no doubt on his credibility (I Like Rafa more :))

Last few Weeks

2009-06-04T06:09:00.000-07:00

Curious case of Benjamin Button
Really like the movie specially the following 3 phrases
1. You never know what's coming for you
2. You never forget some things
3. Nobody is perfect at all the times

No country for old man
Not liked that much , frankly i didn't understand the most part of the film.

Marathi Bana (2'nd time) 7'Th May 2009
This time we saw that in YAshwantrao Chavahan Kothrud, Hall is pretty good compared to Balgandhrav
Had little fun after interval as the host really got angry with audience

I went for marriage ceremony last week(30'th May), met one of my relative , she was the GEET of jab we met, seriously it was the first time I met her in last 12 yrs & wow she was really great to have chat. The function was small but nice to be part of such ceremonies as you meet many people.

Long WeekEnd(30 April -- 6 May)

2009-05-07T05:17:00.000-07:00

Makdachya Hati Champagne
I saw the most talked Natak on Marthi Theatre , It was great everything the script, direction, performances all in all
100% satisfaction. I was bit irritated in between , there were 2 guys behind our seat who were laughing too loud & for not that good jokes
i mean they were behaving like SIDDHU, i wish no one gets such people behind their seats for any show they were really disturbing all the time.
I liked the 2 dialogues the most Barrrrrr & 60% people out of competition in case of married women.

Corenthian Club
I went to this club same day for my friends wedding, unfortunately i couldn't see her as i left the party before their arrival as i had to
attend the Paly, but gosh that was huge, wedding ceremony, I really admire such people who really spend great amnout of money for such occasions,
i would never do such thing instead I would like to spend that money on my World Tour.

Bean Bags
Finally i bought bean bags & ahh such a great confort watching TV sitting on them & i found them for a cheap deal only 1000 Rs.
Again i spent this weekend @ Kothrud at my friends place i am really like staying at that house.

Bokya Satbande & Kabaddi Kabaddi

2009-04-27T22:35:00.000-07:00

25-26 April 2009,This was really the cool weekend, On Saturday evening we had some great food @ Gandharva & saw Kabaddi Kabaddi,
Mukta Barve, I saw her many times in serials & movies never found her attractive but this time was different
I was in the 2'nd row & she was so cute little(In height) girl, + plus her performance was too good with some fine actors
like Vinay Apte who totally pulled whole play off from start to end. Her aunt in show was also superb.I feel watching a play is really a better option compared to watching
movie.Its all real & the experience is really far ahead, whenever we hear the ringing bell before the start which i like the most .
Really looking forward for Mukta's next plays . She was really stunning on that day.
Next day in morning i had Amul TryCone as breakfast & went to Wadeshwar for some light food before Shivajiraje. To my surprice
i found my old colleague from Bizsol there, i am really not very much comfortable with that Girl. Filter coffee +dahi wada was not bad at all in that hot morning
then we headed to Mangala & this time i was only watching Priya all the time in movie she is really cute looking girl.
After movie by looking intensity of heat we decided to go for 1 more movie & that was BOKYA SATBANDE. never heard of it so expectation were really
not that much. The show was scheduled @ 5.00 Pm so we headed for lunch to HAKA. this is really good place for Chinese . The soup they server
veg HAKA soup was the best soup i ever have till date. After some good food & CHOCOLATE Browne we came for movie & the movie was icing of the cake
I have really laughed more than i laughed watching Yada KAdachit. Dilip prabhavalkar is fine actor & writer but this was some great thoughts with some brilliant narration
That was the perfect ending for my great weekend.

DASHAVTAR & SHIVAJIRAJE BHOSALE BOLTOY

I am watching movies regularly from last few weeks. This Sunday i saw 2 of them 1 @ citypride kothrud
only 11 people in hall (One of the Biggest in Pune) , what a sad movie no script, no action nothing + dubbed content was taking all
bad words out of my mouth. The movie was serious crap.
We had lunch at a small rest which specialises in North rural food & that was delicious really !!! Simple but really great.
The masala buttermil was the best thing to try out there. Then we headed for another movie to Rahul & to our surprice that was houseful in it's 3'rd week.
To we went to MAngala & we had to buy in BLACK. Plus we had some confusion about tickets & that was fun. In that heat we were fighting with the BLACK seller
which we never gonna won but that was fun.
The movie started & it was pure fun , good fantasy, little bit inspired from MUNNABHAI but its OK some songs especially the powada was the peak on movie.
& we then headed for camp in evening to watch some pretty faces & we made right move how come some girls are so beautiful i really wonder. But in the end of the this weekend we had great fun 1 crap movie & other one of the better one. Lets see what I'll found out in next week.

The year 2008

2008-12-15T04:08:00.000-08:00

We are on the verge of saying good Bye to 2008 & here how it has been to me.

On 17'Th Jan 2008 i joined a new multinational IT firm which was huge relief for me after working with some small firms. The atmosphere , the work reorganisation & work quality everything is with some new level. Having alot of fun till now. Met some new friends , had some international contacts which is great. I passed SCWCD exam which was really a great achievement i must say. I never had any experience in web technologies & here i am working with all PHP, ASP, JSP ,Joompla, expression engine, AJAX & list will continue. To summarize this was a great year in terms of my professional achievements

I had tasted the best food this year , almost went to each & every famous restaurant in Pune. Which includes Soho,ZK's,George,ALl on Deccan ,Qaulity, East street Cafe,Sigri.......... Tasted some good hard drinks. Our trips to rajgad , Varandha ghat,Mumbai & upcoming Dive Agar were the best time with Friends .When my tech lead was here had the wonderful time in coding ,parting, hiking. That was fun :)

Football started in Monsoons but that never reached to end cause of poor response from most of us but in Dec we started with Cricket & everybody was on their toes. First match we won against the Best team but the 2'Nd relatively easy we sucked badly :( . Lets Hope we enter the final in this yr's Inter IT competition. Read some great novels by Va pU Kale including Sakhi, Vapurza, Taptpadi.... & many more.Movies & TV was the highlight of this yr. If i am not wrong i must have seen around 5 Hrs avg for each day(could have been more, MSEB sucks as they do loadshading in Maharashtra cause of less power supply.)

All in all a wonder-full year has passed with some great memories .

Movies & Movies...

2008-12-05T00:22:00.000-08:00

I saw some of the best movies in last few weeks, They include

Memento

There is something about MAry

Last 3 Weekends

2008-09-29T07:31:00.000-07:00

13-!4 Sep

Watched TV all the time. Seen some great shows on Travel & living. The Freedom Of Seas cruise was amazing.The interior, the services , facilities, surfing board & the host everything was just unreal. After watching that show i am really excited to visit a cruise in near future. Lets see when it happens.

20-21 Sep

I went to Mumbai with my friend to stay @ his friends room. That was weird as i never had never seen any of them. But life should be full of surprises & this was the Best one. We started to Mumbai in heavy rains , the scenary by the rail tracks was perfect for Mumbai-Pune rail journey. We reached Thane by 8.00 PM , directly moved to room & my to surprise they both were so friendly so it took me just half an hour to get used with that MUMBAIYA environment.Dinner was delicious simple Dal rice with Alu along with good Raita.

  Next morning i had the best sand-witches of my life .The Guy was amazing cook , i wondered what is he doing in It he must join the Catering Industry, In Lunch we had the Raita . there were 2 flavours Boondi & veg .Both were wow !!!!!!!! Can't have word to describe the taste. It is still there on My tongue. evening we met another Guy who was professionally cook & we were lucky to have him home for our Dinner. He cooked CHICKEN COCOBA, VEg OGRANTHi & some special chocolates that complete stuff was Just out of this world . As usual i never helped anyone in cooking just tasted everything :)

Sunday Morning again i was wrong as i tasted the Best sand-witches again. The breakfast was done & we said Good-Bye to our hosts for the wonderful time they gave us in Thane. I was thinking how generous people can be as they just met me & did everything for me. In this world everyone gets money but only few manage to enjoy the power of it. Wasting is different thing & making money move is another. For lunch we went to Status the Hotel at Nariman point . The final food of our journey & what a send off in Mumbai That was again the great food & normal costs compared with location.

  i came back to pune with lot of memories, Great food & making new friends that was the real gain of this memorable trip.

27-28 SEP

   Got 2 books by VAPu, Sakhi & Taptpadi. I would Say right books at the right time of life.

IT is great as they give us 2 free days to do whatever we want.Really happy that i m in IT!!!!!!!!!

Rock On & Music and Lyrics

2008-09-08T23:41:00.000-07:00

This weekend was cool as i saw these 2 movies, i joined guitar classes few months back but i found i was not good for that thing so i quit that after few weeks, but after watching that movie i am planning to join that again. What a great music by Shankar Ehasaan & Loy the trio has really great talent.

Any movie by Drew barrymore at any time , i can shuffle my schedule for her. She is really pretty plus great company by Hugh Grant really made that movie special. Lets see what i found in next few days ......

Baromas By Sadanand Deskmukh

2008-07-23T04:53:00.000-07:00

From last 2-3 years the newspapers are publishing same story, Farmer's from Marathwada are committing suicide.In my personal view until we face death close to our family/friends circle we never realize the impact of that incidence, so most of the times i used to say what an Irresponsible fellow, who'll take care of his family?,must have totally lost his mind, those are the people who just can't face any challenges go with this simple path(is it?),now after finishing this Great novel which won Sahitya Academy Award ,my whole view for farmers is completely changed.

This is the simple story of farmer from Marathwada(Agriculture Region in Maharashtra which totally depends on Rains for water) who gets married to a Girl who has some big dreams which are impossible to turn into reality in the village.His father always wants to get loan from SAWKAR(Unofficial loan Distributor who charges really high interest rates )as banks need some huge documents plus loan approval after the rains is of no use to farmers, His mother who is jealous of his wife as she lived into city & unable to adjust into Rural area & his brother who is searching for hidden treasure all the time with his literate unemployed friends from the village as he has passed the government written exam but not having any reference as well as Money which he can give to officers as BRIBE for selection.Now the story moves and some things happens which are tend to to happen in INDIA because of uncertainty of MONSOONS &.......

Guys grab the book & read it,it'll leave the same questions which are in my mind right now. It'll give you a real rural life touch to your AC,IT,APPRAISAL,MULTIPLEX world.

Plot is really simple but the characters just go directly into your heart as this is the story you can easily correlate to any family.Even after finishing the Novel 2 weeks later i was in the book zone.

No one wants to finish this beautiful life by drinking pesticides,but there are some conditions which can easily happen to anyone even a guy in IT industry.The simple message is Life Is Beautiful ,try to utilize each moment to fullest, even in the dark phase of your life you can easily find the ray of light , you just needs to
be strong & never give up at any cost!!!!!!!

Varandha Ghat & Shivtharghal on 20'th July 2008

2008-07-20T21:21:00.000-07:00

On 20'Th July 2008, all our Bizsol gang joined together to have the Best Biking trip ever.

We went to Varandha Ghat which is almost 120 K from Pune. As usual the plan was thought by me long back (My plans-- Quantity is huge but actual implementation rarely happens :)
We left pune at 7.00 AM , our Pulsars were catching 85+ all the Time, After some South Indian snacks at NATRAJ we were out of NH4 & took the road towards BHOR. 1'st spot was BHOR BHATGHAR dam. We got some company by Kaveri bus Girls ,took some nice pictures and decided to move ahead .In Summer 2007 we were there to view the inner dam it is Constructional marvel by British guys which was build in early 1900 .When water level goes down we can still view that beauty & we are the fortunate ones to claim we have seen that !!!!!!
As usual our trip favorite Bhel material we bought in Bhor and started the rough Ride .The rod condition was really poor in early stage but the scenery was so great we forgot that we were on the worst Road .

The Manson have not heavily fall this year so we were hoping we should see at least some waterfalls on the road but Luck was on our favour we got the 1'st very shortly.Vivek & i was wearing the shorts & floaters so we just directly jumped to words the main waterfall.Played with water , now with that great start all of us were so happy that we never missed single waterfall on the Road
The view of the road was incredible .Road is really the tourist Delight, On the left you have the the backwaters of Nira Devghar Dam,

on the Right you have beautiful waterfalls ,the journey continues for 45 minutes and you reach the PEAK .The monster waterfall is waiting for You with clouds all the times and all Lust Green nature everywhere your eyes can go , sometimes you wonder what is the definition of BEAUTIFUL ? The beauty must have originated from this place only!!!

The serenity of the place is just out of the world.Last week i was watching 1000 places you must see before you die on Travel and Living .After watching this beauty of Varandha i felt if you are in Maharashtra & you have not seen this Beauty then you have really missed the Best part of your Life.

Well after spending some quality time there we moved to Shivtharghal ,which is the origin of DASBODH .The Guru of Shivaji maharaj RamdasSwami stayed at that Place. The Road from Ghat to the main place was the Worst of whole journey .We were hoping safety of the Bikes as all 100 Km we travelled without a Bike service station on the Road.Luckily pulsars are Born tough so we were out of any damage. Personally i didn't like that place.
Then after taking some hot Bhajies from the local vendor we moved back.All the Bhel material was waiting for all of us. We found good place to have food and the our chefs went into action. After 30 min of preparation we had great spicy & really Delicious Bhel with the company of the beautiful peacocks on the the other side of the Road. Weather was still favoring us by giving company of of clouds all the Time.
While coming back we found this tree alone on the hill,must been warning to MICROSOFT how come you missed me as a default wallpaper on the Windows XP . Look Mr Bill gates & Microsoft team ,this can be the next wallpaper for new OS version!!!!

Then we took 50 km nonstop journey tiil Bhor while coming back, by this time everyone was holding their backs like anything .Sit on the Pulsar for 230 Km in a Single Day & you guys can exp the same thing. But the beauty of the place was so enthralling that whenever I'll remember about Varandha, I'll always feel that that was the best time which i can cherish for my entire Life .
