friends

I read this quote while waiting for Forbes.com to load the story I was interested in reading...here it goes

"One of the best thing about old friends is that you can be stupid with them".So true, isn't it?

All my friends, we became the professionals we always wanted to be. Life somehow threw us all apart in different parts of the world. Friends with whom I sang those stupid songs, ate bhurgi at 4:00am in the morning. Friends with whom I drank, danced, played and spent the most memorable moments.....and I keep thinking its all gone. I even hesitate calling them thinking where would I start the conversation.Then one day I meet them and after the 1 hour or so its all back. All the stupidity is back...the jokes, the pranks, the bull shit. Keeping it short, being back with your buddies is priceless.

hmmm

Yaad nahi kya kya dekha tha, sarre manzar kho gaye
Uski galiyon se jabse guzre...apna ghar bhi bhool gaye..

Ahista Ahista

Before I move to what I want to say I have to boast that I am finally running again. Ran 2.5 miles in 20 minutes and it felt good..

So I watched another movie just now. The name of the movie... Ahista Ahista. A very well directed movie with a simple story and wonderful performances. The movie hadvsomething usually missing from Hindi movies called characterization. It has been done nicely in this movie. Every character in the movie is nicely carved and has its own presence in the movie. I am impressed by Abhay Deol's performance. This is his second movie and to me he is already among finest actors of his generation. Music has been used nicely in the movie. So basically good man ki laltein ..the movie was delightful. (3.5 stars out of 5).

I feel so happy after writing these reviews.

Ishmeet's birthday is coming and I do not know what to gift her. So leave suggestions people, she like diamonds which I cannot afford...hehehe

no title

I somehow cannot think of a title as I am writing this blog. I do not even have a set idea for this blog. Infact this is not a blog, this is more like a diary. Yeah I think this is indeed a diary.

Having decided this is a diary, I think I cannot describe what is going in my head. The reason behind that is that so many of will read this and in the end I will end up like a drama king. Nevertheless, I feel like writing and I want to write so much, loads of it. Parle used to say if Chadha is happy his email lengths are short.

There has recently been not a single good music album out...that sucks. There is another interesting story I would like to share. I recently chatted with Jaswinder Singh, he is a sikh guy who sings ghazals and he is really good honestly. I remember he won SaReGaMa contest in my second year. He is a cool guy and maybe I will get to hang out with him when he will be visiting Bay Area alongwith Javed Akhar (yeah yeah topi is giving gaali to him) and Shabana Azmi.

The idea behing the show is also very unique. Shabana and Showoff Akhtar will be discussing poetry by Kaif and after a poem is discussed Jaswinder will be singing that particular poem. I am looking forward to it.

Writing is a good therapy, no matter how disconnected my thoughts are in this blog, I feel much better.
