Rock On - Review

Finally, a movie showcasing the bond of friendship and dreams released after a hiatus. And I had the honour of watching it on my lappy :( , which didn’t give the same effects as the PVRs of NCR, moreover the print was not original..so the total enthu of watching it drained my spirits but Farhan Akhtar.how can I miss him…

Now coming to the review, overall the movie was nice time pass..and you can even watch certain scenes twice or thrice. Humor amongst friends has been given a nice touch, though the bonding was not as great as Dil Chahta Hai. Somehow, the comparison seems inevitable because of the similarity in the background of both the movies. While, DCH is class apart, RO will go a long way to commensurate its standards. Music is good and pleasant, but the people who worship rock will have fairly different opinion. And I completely respect it.

Now, a special review about Farhan. Farhan here, Farhan there Farhan Akhtar everywhere. My brother has science exam tomorrow and while I was writing this, he came with an innovative idea of defining Farhan’s presence in a movie- “He is present in the smallest particles as proton (being the producer), as electron (being the singer), and neutron (being the actor) in the atom (Rock on)” Summed up the right way bro…It is not that I didn’t like his acting, its just that I am in love with his direction, wish he had directed this movie as well.

Your comments are welcome Friends...

Tryst with Destiny -II

Recently I wrote about India’s Tryst with Destiny, and whatever struck me within an hour, I captured it on the word document. But now, I think the ordeal is not over. I need to present the other face of India, for which I am sure you people are also not unaware.

From which direction of India should I start? Every direction has its own tale of sorrow to be narrated. Lets start from North; in Haryana – one of the states of North, recently lathi charge on the teachers occurred in Rohtak which clearly illustrates the democracy situation of India. J&K, another Northern state made news because of land dispute, mind you the land dispute is not between the Indians and Pakistanis but between Hindus and Muslims. The tremors of this news created waves in the capital region as well. In South Raj Thackeray gave his and is always giving sweet and mellifluous statements, which can become the sole reason for even a riot. I think he likes to be in news, however I am sure he can find much good reasons than this to be on TV. In East – Bihar is crying its heart out for help and in West Bengal’s strategy towards development and modernization is far away, I am sure “Mamta di” will have to answer the future generation of Bengalis about its current stand on Singur.

As if this was not enough, there is another tale of woe, this time with the epic centre as “New Delhi” as in central government. If China made its all effort against India for the disapproval of passing the bill agreement in the NSG group, then Indian political leaders are giving statements which clearly illustrate that when they will come to power they will pass a bill which will make this 123 bill null. The land of unity in diversity stands on the verge where its internal forces are tearing apart its integrity. What a shame…

Do I need to say more of the India’s current internal situation? However, I haven’t talked about the sensitive issue of Maoists, and other “wars” which are occasionally going between/among states. These issues are the latest that have occurred within a span of not more than a week.

And these incidents have made me realize, when I wrote about India’s tryst with destiny maybe I was not talking of the same country? Maybe I was not living in the present to talk about same India that Jawahar Lal Nehru mentioned in his speech?May be I was not thinking when I wrote it??? May be I have woken up now to realize the gravity?

I am so confused my friends…Are these people their own enemies. I am not sure whether India’s tryst with Destiny has arrived or will it take another centuries or ages of ages to achieve what our forefathers thought of.

Tryst with Destiny

India, a caged golden bird of yesteryears, has come a long way to be free, innocuous and yet ferocious bird. I am not saying this because, I m the ruling party. Some umpteen incidents are themselves enough to prove the success of India. When the world is swept over by the wave of economy downturn, India being the "emerging economy" is seen as the land of opportunity. By far, India's ability to make it itself visible and heard; hasn't come easily or with a span of two-three years. The credit do goes to the Indianess that is instilled in every Indian. It is this spirit that has come a long way to make India visible on the world map.

Nehru, spoke at the stoke of the midnight to make world realize a big dream which was in making. After 60 years, the dream is on verge of getting fulfilled. Let me substantiate it with the successes of the past:

India has risen with the growth. The GDP was by far the highest achieved since Independence. Though still it is crippled with the issues of inflation, but still the spirit helds high. This year it pose to achieve a GDP of 8.5%. The tax collected by the Indian government outshines the previous record. All this will be used for the development of the country. Infrastructure wise, India needs to raise the standard to meet the world class standards. And, Delhi metro is one of the many examples that in itself stands apart to answer the people who questions India ability in any way. Roads-highways, airports are undergoing expansion and restructuring.

The story of “India Inc.” which has been the headlines of newspapers for a year now is no less than a dream fulfilled. Highlight being the Tata’s Nano car making waves all over the world and many mergers and acquisitions - with the difference being India acquiring world class brands in all dimensions. These events have definitely projected India as a leader, and have changed the perception of India from a mere outsourcing provider of cheap leader. India is the most happening place economically.

Indian middle class, which forms the largest part of the Indian society, has come out of the cocoon of backwardness. The purchasing power has risen, Levis jeans or UCB top is no more a distant dream of the young. The power of dreams has a voice and it is called “Gen X”.

Culturally, Indians have captured million of hearts abroad and in homeland. Art, is respected; Indian painters have never had a golden period, no more an artist is in a situation of hand to mouth. The Indian art has risen above all the levels.

Politically, India is governed by an educated sikh PM, a muslim VP and a lady hindu President. At the highest level, the religions are one. The spirit is one – to make India see the dawn of development and progress.

I tried to capture all the dimensions of India. You tell me one area, and I will give you atleast an example to prove my point. People, India is on the path of greatness. Lets be a part of this success and glory. In the end, I would like to conclude by saying that India has really achieved the fate where actually the mind is without fear and the head is held high.

Where are Your Cameras and Handycams???

There are obviously a variety of status messages that are seen on gtalk or yahoo messenger. One of its kinds, nowadays is 55 days left.....54 days left. The countdown had started with a century. But sadly...(happily can be for some) half century is over.....I m talking here of our GRADUATION getting over.



Time runs really fast.And I dont doubt the speed.It runs when we are loving that moment.Everybody nodoubt, is aware of this fact. So we final year students are trying to capture the moments(time). Though these moments would always awash our minds with giggling and laughter. But to keep them as .jpeg and .gif , setting them as your desktop background, it brings the amazing effects.Reliving the scene within a flash of a second. May be it can be a Bonanaza in the Catastrophic times. But more worth watching are the videos......I bet they can challenge the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Hearing your voice....the funniest scenes. I bet you cant just see once.



So, take out your camera and handycam. Fake it when you click it.....And you would be really surprised to see that whether are you that much happy or you just look. Try your hands on it!!!! Let the shows start...photo sessions with your friends and dont forget the ones with whom you have spent your toughest time. LOL.....or the loveliest ones..... :)

Time in our laps !!!

1 year consisting of 365 days, 24 hours making a day, 60 mins gracing an hour , further tracing down the ample time in seconds which is 60 seconds adds upto a minute. Friends, I dont doubt your knowledge about basic units of time but just a gesture to make you realise the amount of time that we have in 4 years 4* 365*24*60*60=126144000 seconds .......Byjove!!!!

But it is a passe now.

Sooner we realise the importance of time , better would be our lives. But manging it is a huge task.
1 day u practice, 2nd day you try to maintain the pace, third you are lingering behind schedule , fourth day you are all packed and nothing goes as per the schedule, fifth day you start to think that this is not working and bhish!! all time management plans are gone and back to that same life of which you were part and parcel.

You screw every time and then you make plans. You have to work for it...hard very hard. Life doesnt come easy.... neither the success. But you want it...you desire it...you long for it....then you have to go for it. Make it work. Make it happen. Try.
Its just whether the time is on your side and for time to be on your side you have to be with time.

I dont know whether I m able to convey my ideology but life is yours,friends. Draft it with your views and how you want it . Destiny is an excuse(but not entirely) but where you land up is where you were meant for. :)

Culmination of events after Exams!!!

Finally the exams were over. And as mentioned in my previous post about scrapping.. We scrapped the Network Computing (sutad's in short )exam.....The thrill that you get in not attempting the paper gives you a high...which popularises the fact that this is our last semester and we have the liberty to go out of our way to enjoy our last college days.

Now...coming to the other events that have been kept me engaged. One of them was a geedi to Heritage Festival in Patiala. This festival happens annually in February. But i decided to see this time as it would be mine last chance.Most of my friendz didn't like this heritage mela,as according to them it was monotonous and boring. Obviously you get bore, if you are visiting the same place for third time......But me.... I enjoyed it. May be the variety of stalls and the old artefact's bewildered me. And here I would like to add that it was for the first time when i was interested in all this stuff...as termed by me stupid and girlish.... The hangings were of variety in metallics, of mud, of variety of colours ...seeming to touch the culture of our country.The atmosphere was just swinging with the diversity of our culture. From Madras to Kashmir, each and every type of civilization was on its way to sell the most different and versatile products that are usually never available in the market.In short it was one of the fulfilling experiences of Patiala. The air seemed so pure and so cold. It was my Patiala, my Punjab. How much i hope that i may get to stay and work here in Punjab. But ding dong....career bells do ring. And so....nothing.

Whenever, me and my family used to go to my grandparents home, as we used to enter the city where my grandparents lived...my mother used to say the air is different ,its sooo cool and she used to get lost in her dreamzz..... i presume. But now i can some how relate to this incidence that previously just went over my head(OHT Over head Transmission).

DOR----> A must watch movie. Its directed by Nagesh Kukonoor of IQBAL fame...Do watch it my friendz.

ACUMEN is knocking at doorsteps. Lets c whether girls can win this time and take away home the trophy which has always the destiny of Boys of final year. But guys!!! beware we are gearing up for the show and are sure to turn the tables down. Hurray!!! God bless us :D

Mistakes.....are my life !!!!!

There are pepole who would wonder when was the last time i screwed it up...... and here me on this side of the river usually has this notion when was the last time i made it up!!!! Yupeee.... Three cheers for my awesome performances in this college and now, in these examzzz....though its the last semester and moreover just the mid sems..... but it has been really a very dry spell overall.....

Whatz the whole idea of " I made it"...."I deserve it and I should get it"...... ????? The thing that you want it the most you get it in the last or far are the chances that u dont get it.....may be another test of patience, sincerity and bla bla bla....... Still i m confused with the thin line of achievment and failure. Let me explain this. A youngster who works hard , is sincere and have all the credits to his asset is not able to make through or in more clear words he fails. But on the other hand a "chill guy who gave a decent effort is the king of the entire empire" Here the success is of the hardworker who got to know his weakness or that of the chill dude who got his reward.....??????

The whole thing was the frustration bounding from a chotaa sa tucha mid sem exam which i m giving from the past 3.5 years. I am least bothered about all this crap but this so called crap took hell lot of time ....lol.....
Now only one more exam to go..... and here we computerchis are coming with the idea of scrapping it.Scrapping means not attempting the whole paper... either it can be of zero marks or as per decided by the comittee....lol......This time our branch is far behind in the race.... with biotechnologists screwing up 4 exams and here comes the mother of all branches "Electrical" with zero attempt in not more than three papers.......Kudos!!!!!
Lets see for this scenario whether we would be able to scrap it or me as usual screw it!!!!!

would be coming up soon with some good thoughts after my EXAMS.......
