of kissing scenes and foolish stars

http://content.msn.co.in/Entertainment/Bollywood/Bollywood_indiafm_271206_1158.htm

this is the most ridiculous article I have read so far... i didn't even get beyond the first couple of paragraphs but just something I had to say that got reinforced after reading a little bit:

1. the Indian 'so-called' super stars(you may read hritik if you dislike him as much as I do) are nothing but DUMB
2. the Indian audience is light years aways from being described as a sensible audience. ( how on earth can Dhoom 2 be a superhit?)
3. its unbelievable that kissing scenes are talked and published and hyped about in the Indian context.

Now, here is my little piece as to how I even realised there was a kissing scene in the movie:

I was talking to my mom on the phone this morning and she happened to describe to me how she was completely taken aback by the words of my soon to be 13 year old, American born Desi nephew.

So this kid comes home after having watched the movie with his cousins: here goes:

my mom: so what did you like about the movie?
my nephew: well, the movie was ok but I really liked the kissing scene betn ash and hritik
my mom: speechless - no means to reciprocate to that one.
my nephew: u see I am soon going to be 13 - need to know all these things right!!!

to me that was hilarious -
my mom's astonishment just puts her in the right place in her generation.
my nephew is justified in his -

but to top it all - the person in a fix - his mom - who probably is the one fighting hard to handle the situation as it should be.

now truly after the storm

the sun shines over the sun-shine city!!! a blanket of white now glows - a lovely reunion of the mighty sun and the strong yet soft snow

the city still struggling to overcome nature's wrath.

the dayafter the storm? or day 2 of the storm?

today all the images clicked are from my apartment window- cos its impossible to get out of the house - the snow is still comin down - the sun is fittin hard to make its presense felt - leavin a beautiful glow on the white surface - JUST PRETTY. enjoy the white - while it lasts - and cheers to one more day where man fails and nature wins !!!

first hand - part 2

coming down heavy

the B L i Z Z a r D in Denver and all of Colorado

The storm has hit and the state is in a mess - the Governor has announced a state of emergency, public transport is almost shut, the freeways are all shut, the internal roads are nothing but covered in snow, the airport has had like more than 800 flights cancelld, all emergency personnel are out there.... you can obviously catch all this on the news.

here is my bit of the story:

Our office shut this afternoon - obviously the picture looked very pretty from the window and the first reaction was of happiness of a half day and a possible no working day tomorrow. I left the office, my car wading through the snow... me enjoying the blizzard, even taking pics as I drove, just cos the drive is not too long and my apartment is close to home - but it was not a complete joy ride - even in that 5 min, less than a mile drive, my car got stuck in the foot of snow that had collected just a few minutes from home. trying hard to get it out but in vain -thankfully a gentleman got out of his car and helped me out through it - me on the wheel accelerating as much as I could and he pushing the car back and forth from the outside - all this lasted only a few minutes but surely made me realise how the picture was not happy at all out there - and then my thoughts completely shifted from the joys of an early off to all the people who have to travel so much and are stuck out there.

some thoughts that crossed my mind - the rescue agencies are all prepared and equipped and still struggling here in Colorado - but doing a good job - my heart just cries out to all the calamities that happen back home and how we JUST LACK a rescue plan what so ever.

I will put up pics right now

Amidst a thousand events and happenings, life goes on and there is something that waits for none!!!

T I M E :

yet another journey officially reached its 6 month mark - Denver and RNL!!!


... cheers to solitude!!!

life's like that too...

there are too many chocolates and goodies all around the place this holiday season.

if you try to grab them all it will only leave you sick and nauseatic... looking fat , ugly and greedy!!!

pick your best one and leave the rest for the deserving ones.

reaching out

wrinkles...

... a testimony of age ... not wisdom!!!

different expressions of the same feeling!!!

so DHOOM 2 is a really bad movie...

and we all know that now...

but the fun part is to see how everyone is ripping it apart in their own way -
the reviews may say one thing - but here are three interesting takes on the movie from fellow bloggers -
who all only share one thing in common from their post - sheer disappointment and disgust with the movie -
but I could sense one thing (maybe i am wrong) - all these posts come from people who love their Indian cinema - and feel bad when whats offered is something as bad as DHOOM2!!!

ditto from my side guys!!!
