Hosanna!

After watching the movie; I could not stop my urge to write about it.

Why? Simply, because I loved it. Not only on the EQ level but the whole package.

Yes I am talking about ‘Ek Deewana Tha’! First of all the story and its presentation was beautiful. If it won’t have been this movie would not have been remade by the director in Hindi after already being successful at it in Tamil and Telugu version.

The USP of the movie through out was Prateik Babbar without a doubt. His monologues were the high points of the movie. My favourite monologue was:

when after getting no reaction on the name of Mohan Lal from Jessie (the love interest of Prateik’s character played by Amy Jackson); he thinks; “Baap ko Bachhan nahi pata, beti ko Mohan Lal; kya karun yaar mai inka!”

Another one is when Jessie is walking up to him and he thinks: “Meri shakal pe 12 baje hue hai aur ye fresh good morning wo bhi 6am jaisi. Kuch zyada hi sundar nahi hai ye?”

Then there is another scene where in Prateik and his senior from work go to Allepy; (when Prateik can’t do away a minute without seeing his lady love) and they are invited by Jessie’s family for lunch. Now there is a whole mix of malayalam and hindi dialogues; a scene very well directed! One of Jessie’s relative keeps on saying: “Eat Eat” in malayalam and Prateik’s ally keeps on interepreting it in hindi and replies; “Aap bhi khencho khencho”!!!

Apart from dialogues; the cinematography was the second high point! From amchi mumbai to the beautiful Allepy; it was all presented so well.

Having said that; there were two lows of the movie:

First, Amy Jackson: Yes; she looks oh so pretty in Saree. But that is it. The dubbing made it worse.

Second, The title: In my opinion I do not find it befitting.

And hence my blog title is the most beautiful part of the movie: the song hosanna.

The mad-in-love dance of Prateik on this song is so fun to watch; the music refreshingly soothing.

Recalling Ooty trip!

Ooty trip. 24th - 25th October 2009. Most memorable trip! This trip was my escape plan! My birthday was falling on this weekend and I didn't want it to be like the birthday routine (mostly at food court 5 - oasis) of the Infosys, Mysore campus. So when I heard Sachit (who was from my college but had come to know him during training as he sat one seat beside me) planning a trip to Ooty with all his friends. I showed my interest in joining them clearly stating how I didn't want to be in the campus on my birthday falling that Sunday. He agreed. That is how I happen to go on this trip with Sachit, Sharad, Shikha and Varun. All were new to me! Before this trip I have hardly ever exchanged formal greeting with them and now here I was going to a beautiful hill station on a weekend! We left early morning for Udhagamandalam. On the way we had to cross Bandipur National Park. We stopped there and decided to take a Safari ride. Well it happened so that we missed on the early morning Safar...

Learning the hard way

Classroom teaching is organized learning where in words of many researchers and analysts decide what content will be taught and in what manner. As a child everybody has had their times of despising classroom either for selective subject or like me, simply for all of them. But 20 years past one realizes how essential indeed were those classroom sessions. And that is cause of the natural phenomenon that one understands the importance of something in life when that goes away from you. Have come too far from classrooms. And the most painful part in all of this is the fact that learning is not seized. Lot of things we are still suppose to learn in the daily course of action. But these lessons do not come from well structured course books illustrated by a teacher, it come to us the hard way. Hours after any incidence you analyze and understand the triggering factors for the event and their effective impacts. And then you really introspect that what & how exactly one was supposed to do in...

Mera purna-janam hua hai!

That is what I said at my party as I stand today having resigned from Infosys and now going back home to search for a job I would like! I am reborn! Its not that I am seeing my proffessional life as something which will have fresh start but also relations. People come up with complete other side to themselves when they know that one of them is leaving and that there is a possibility that you might not meet that person again. Last three parties post my last day at office have been such experiences and it has made me richer! :) On tuesday after office I went out with all my toastmasters friends! Toastmasters was the only thing which kept me busy in "true" sense at office! And so it was special. I was been surprised with this lovely cake they all got for me : After decently having cake, I was being warned that if the cake would not finish I would have to face the fate and so it was.... And these were the culprits .. And so after all present there had their part of fun we all we...
