dhoom 2

well jus got back from watching dhoom -2.. havent watched dhoom and therfore cant tell which one's better...

well this movie was sure watchable... infact more than watchable though personally i dont think i can watch it more than once for anything!

a good starcast though personally i think they cudve done without ms rai... bipasha basu as always looks awesome... abhishek and uday chopra were good... hrithik takes the cake though.. he looked simply superb in all the various styles he appears in ...

i enjoyed the movie till ms rai's entry... the first half i thought she was unbearable... xtremely plastic in her acting and dancing... looked like barbie dancing, with the mild difference that barbie looks very cute :)

the second half was a good mix of all the actors with a good deal of stunts, visual effects, sexy lookin bikes and an interesting storyline.

the background score was good i thought, specially when hrithik comes in...
music, well, except for 2 songs dont really think i even remember the rest!

all in all a pretty decent watch...

oopsie!!!

this one's too funny.. am still laughing at not my stupidity per se..but the way events jus turned out :)just called a friend o mine on her landline phone.. her tone usually is a lil stern on the landline than when on the cell phone...[familiarity aspect]exchanged the hellos and then shifted to our mother tongue "telugu" .. thinkin it was her i pulled a long one, tryin to be very courteous and respectful... being sarci bout how shes always on the streets, etc etc... all this in good faith thinkin its her... was tryin 2 find out wat on earth was she doing when she msgd me at 4:43 am and thats when i realised the folly ..the poor lady who answered my call kept insisting that madam is out, and i on the other hand kept askin her to come off it and speak normally...thats when the identity was revealed...the apparent friend turned out to be the baby sitter.gosh she sounded just like my friend and the funniest part is she played along which is y i really thought it was my friend!
i feel so funny now...am sure my friend will have a hearty laugh when she gets to know of it.... we have another round of laughter awaiting :)

11 november 2006 , the annual sports day of st anns high school, icse, secunderabad...

a day that took me back in time 8 years and left me feeling completely nostalgic..

that only 8 years ago i was on that very field brought me both joy and a sense of sadness.

discipline, creativity, imagination galore, crisp marchpast, coordination at its best, prim and properly dressed students, an experience guaranteed to satisfy...
thats a typical sports day for u at st anns icse, in a nutshell. [im sure any annite would echo a similar sentiment :) ]

also me being an "annite" [as we're called] its but obvious that il love my school any which way..however this time around i was indeed a little disappointed :(

as always the show started off with the guard of honor, a traditional welcome marchpast for our chief guest. [it used to be a sense of achievement and pride to be selected for the guard of honor.] as the students marched in , was i a little misty eyed... after all 8 years ago i was in that very guard of honor! whoever thought of the theme this time is a creative genius! its the best ever ive witnessed :)

after declaring the sports meet open, the regular drill displays, sprint relays, athletic games and the marchpast followed suit... personally the drill displays did not really appeal to me.. i could actually see a drastic fall in quality[ yeah i hate to admit it....:( ] which left me really dissappointed.. after all my school' s much better than that!
the marchpast also wasnt upto the mark.. when we being ex students had a higher benchmark to qualify for the marchpast, it was sad to witness the slightly shoddy marchpast...

however, the athletic games this time were really interesting, fresh and innovative :)
a drill display by the tiny tots christened "titanic" wins hands down... an xtremely cute theme, it was a feast to see the cute little kiddos dance to celine dions song with their cute sailor dresses.

and finally the closing ceremony, which was the mother of all events... a beautifully choreographed torch drill display accompanied with a message of love and a wonderfully rendered song... it could not have got better :)

the sports meet finally ended with the guard of honor, this time by the plus two students..

time sure flies and events such as this brings back all those sweet memories that can only be relived but can never experienced again!
