Ouch...My head hurts....


After watching countless movies in these holidays....ive kinda become .Movies dont facinate me anymore unless its really good.and thanks to imdb.com's top movies list...i've started watchin only quality movies.....for now. last night i saw "Memento" and ouch....my head hurts.while i have some problems with this movie, make no mistake about it. for those who are serious fans of the film medium...DONT MISS THIS ONE!!!!...its a stunning original and i can think of nothing comparable.my only reservations concern whether or not a film should make the viewer work this hard to try and understand what exactly is going on.even after seeing it twice...i still have lots of questions, but i found myselfstill thinkin and wondering about it all the time.the movie is stimulating, gripping and haunting.forgot to mention the actual reason the movie is so awsome.....the entire movie is backwards!!! starts with the last scene and ends with the first...simply brilliant and original by christopher nolan.

Another really good movie i saw last week was pulp fiction.....and now im on a quentin tarantino movie watching frenzy....that guy's a brilliant director.the movie is basically a few short stories which get connected to each other during the course of the movie.the movie's got an impressive
cast too.many peoply say its the best movie of the 90's.hmm....i've not really seen all the movies of the 90's but....i might agree with them from what i've seen....

the last and yet another brilliant movie is SIN CITY!!! god....what a movie....cant believe Robert Rodriguez had the guts to make a black and white movie in the year 2005!!! any comic book fan will love the movie and the whole way its done is brilliant.....credit goes to tarantinno too cause he co-directed the movie. its again just a few short stories in the dark world of sin city. but it was really good and 'MARV' was an awsome character in the movie.dont wait for it to release here cause im sure it wont because of some content. but try to watch it.


The above 3 movies are probably the best i've seen in these holidays(apart from star wars which is always no 1...) but considerin the fact that my holidays are not yet over.....i might enjoy a few more....but if i do.....u can bet ur ass you'll find my review right here.....all u people take care.....

Jro...THe Gods Must Be Crazy....


I know its been a while since i posted.......my lazy split personality seems to be becoming my true personality!!!! anyway....last saturday was finally JRO...the rock show dat everyone's been waitin for....i had the (priviledge???) of standin at the entrance.....checkin peoples pockets for cigarettes....booze....and i even actually had to ask them if they're carrying any kind of 'dope' or 'weed'.....and then after they are checked.....i had to tear their tickets......the damn show had started....AZIZ, the inventor of the Asian Blues was majorly rockin the place with some really good music..... and i was still tearin tickets and was waitin for someone to cover for me so dat i could get a glimpse of the show......finally managed and went to look at AZIZ.....5 mins passed.....IT STARTED RAININ!!!! curses. Thankfully AZIZ was game for anything and the rain didn't seem to stop him and his punk rocker tabla player DALBIR SINGH RATAN(the guy was brilliant and still is) the show went on for like half an hour after the rain started but then it really started pouring badly and the stage started wobbling a bit and thats when aziz realised he played the right noted and communicated with the heavens in the right way....and so sadly....the show stopped. but now....new problem.
Home-more than one hour away from the place
Myself-stuck in the rain and gettin drenched
The venue-open grounds and no place to stay away from the rain
Access to at least an auto-one kilometre away
Phew.....had a tough time...got absolutely drenched.waited under a little hoardin for the rain to stop but then it didn't help much.finally after lots of runnin and probably helpin myself die of pneumonia soon...finally reached home. i liked aziz....but wonderin if it was worth the trouble....

HARRY POTTER and the two year long wait.....

Personally i feel they should have given the above name for book 6......it kinda suits it..... so anyway....the craze is back jus so that it can go away and be back in another 2 yrs time....I heard that this book however is not as good as the previous ones......BUT WHO CARES????????? ITS HARRY POTTER AND THATS WHAT MATTERS!!!!!!!!! Its sad to hear that one lovable person in the book gets killed by another trustworthy person....sad....im writin all this cause (someone) told me about this...and thats why i have the guts now.....i recieved my copy today....should start readin it.....after i finish book 5! and then ill post my personal review of the book....

Yesterday i pulled a muscle in the stupid gym when liftin a few weights and my hand now aches like hell...could not even play the guitar properly...then i went out for dinner with madhuri's family and jonalthan's family.....(jonathan is a family friend from madras and madhuri is a good family friend from sri lanka).....had lotsa fun with them and proportionately hogged too.....

Gonna be busy this week...learnt sooooo much of stuff from Bruce (my guitar mentor) today.....and its gonna take me a long time to sit and practice all that....i wanna become considerably good at playin before college starts cause at least then...a few classmates and i can team up and jam together....hopefully this dream becomes reality.....hopefully....thats why i've decided to practice a whole lot whenever im free....should reap the rewards soon i hope.....

then......what else....lets see....Oh ya......i went for my skool annual day 2 days back and it was realy awsome!!! never thought it would be so much fun.....the programs sucked as usual but nobody was bothered......what was really cool was meetin my friends after 4 months....somehow it felt good....very good....should meet friends more often like that....lotsa fun.....

Thats about it for now i guess......not decided on whether i should go for annother vacation somewhere or not....should decide soon....until then....all u ppl take care.....

a lil bit of everything......

Now i know i promised all u people a review for "Dark Waters".....but sadly....that didn't happen. couldn't go for the movie...no company.but im not complainin cause i checked out imdb.com and very surprisingly it had a really bad rating!!! everyone was expecting quite a lot from Jenifer Connely but i dunno why she seems to have screwed up big time.

The gym seems to be gettin more and more painful for my delicate body. I think my personal trainer has something against me.HE JUS WONT LET ME GO!!!!!! worst part is.....there's this awsome sweet shop really close by to the gym and it takes me a whole lotta hard work to restrain myself from goin there after my workout and give myself up to the lord of gluttony. hopefully this "will power" of mine should pay off someday......someday.

Went for the unwind rock show today......and for the first time in my life....i really didn't enjoy myself.The first band sucked big time....second band didn't show up and so they compensated with a few guys jamming on stage.....and the third band...was hip hop.i dont have to go further to describe their sad performance.One very nice thing about unwind which always makes my day is the cafeteria....dats where i was spendin most of my time today cause i jus couldn't take the music.actually all of them played well....but not what i usually like listenin to...and thats why i thought it was crappy.Hopefully at least when college starts i should find a few rock lovers who wud gimme some company for these shows sometime.

All u Harry Potter fans out there must be waitin for midnight for "the half blood prince" to release....and most of the ppl i know have gone and pre-booked their copy. For my luck....my uncle from delhi is sendin me the book as a gift for no reason....its not even my birthday!! god bless all these kinda good hearted ppl....i hope i meet more of the kind.The question this time however is "whose gonna die in this book???" I was wonderin if i should find out and post it in a few days time.....BUT THEN......i realised the consequences......shruti would come home and kick my ass till im dead. thats why im not gonna take this risk.too many things at stake!!!

Anyway.....weekend approachin....lotsa stuff gonna happen......i hope.....

My vacation......a.k.a novmber rain.

i got one whole month left for my coll to start which gives me one whole month more to put on weight....watch more movies....and sleep a lot more. so lets see all that happened in my summer hols....rather eventful actually.I think the best part of the hols was the time i met my life partner. she's so beautiful...such good curves....and the best part is.....she's not even indian! she's japaneese.....my beautiful ibanez electric guitar.wats life without her? i guess the most interestin day of each week is guitar class day! its simply superb to watch my instructor BRUCE keep playin every damn instrument ever created! and i started playin the drums after a looooong time again...
My vacation has been jus like november rain.....started off slow....and then was lots of fun....and now its jus down to earth frustrating!
This is really silly, but im so bored, i actually took some of my books and started studying a bit. One gr8 thing that happened to me this summer vacation was SOUTHPARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(everybody's gotta watch it!!!!!!!!!!) and sohan......thanks a million for that! myself and all the people i've introduced southpark to...will be greatful to u forever.(sohan is my cousin from bangalore by the way).
Its gettin really borin now cause some of my friends colleges have started too! no company to go and watch movies anymore.....sad.
lol! i joined a gym yesterday to lose little....actually lots of weight! i felt like a tiny little worm in front of all the hardcore body builders! Hopefully i shud lose at least a lil weight before coll opens.
Gonna see dark waters tomorrow....will post my review of the movie....i hope its good after all the hype. so till then.....everybody take care....and ill jus keep walking.....in the cold november rain.
