sorry my true intentions leaked out!!
OGIF is what i truly think about the restaurant...
O Buoy my first and [hopefully] last experience was horrible...
>> first the food sucks!
>> second its expensive for the kind of crap they serve!
>> three totally sad service
>> four and last- the name is so frickin misleading...nothing thankful about it... dreadful sounds more like it!
im sorry if i hurt the feelings of very staunch tgif fans... but as far as im concerned- the place sucks!
O God Its Friday- methinks thats what the chain should call itself!
signin off!

slumdog millionaire
so i finally saw the movie yesterday afternoon..finally, because i heard and read quite many things about it... some o my friends who stay in the US [and therefore saw it before me] thought it was amazing, superb and the like...
now that i have seen it, what is my take?
well i think it is a nice movie, certainly..not great or breathtaking or fantastic or the like!!
yes what i did like the best is the characterisation- the kid>> adolescent>>youngster jamal, salim and latika were perfect.. especially Jamal.obviously effort has been made to make the 3 different people look like one.. be it the hair, the eyes and the characteristic ears jutting out[incase of jamal] kudos to that!
the one scene where the two young brothers hold each other while sleeping on top of the train was beautiful!
now about the music- a golden globe award could have been given for numerous other movies composed by rehman...in my opinion, several movies of his are worthy of getting the golden globe when compared to slumdog millionaire!
the background score is undoubtedly nice[ after all rehman]but not spectacular so as to win a golden globe!
i personally think the movie is overrated.and honestly i am trying to find out why?
all in all i think the movie can be definitely watched once. and no more!

a rattletrap bus, a cranky bus driver
so thats the best way i could describe my journey home from my hostel...
first i walk in the hot sun till the main gate of my college>> catch an auto till the main road>> wait on the main road, again under the hot sun for a bus>> finally get into a bus, find a seat,buy my ticket and settle down...happy!
a bunch of college going boys hoot, talk loud and basically make a nuisance of themselves, all of this while hanging precariously on the foot board.
the bus driver orders them to get into the bus and so does a fellow passenger.. this fellow passenger gets into an argument with these college boys>> each of them exchange the choicest slang in the local language-telugu and hindi.
the bus driver was at his cranky best- yells at them, when they fail to listen, asks them to get off the bus.
did i think the journey will now be peaceful?YES!
was i right? NO!
after a lil distance, another bus overtakes my bus and the passengers of that bus are busy hooting and booing the driver.who were they? those very students.
wat happens next?
my bus driver hit his all time high in being cranky>> rips the bus[ was i glad cos till then it was moving rather slow]and thats when i realise its a rattletrap!
so he rips it until he catches up with the bus in the next bus stop>> stops his bus and orders the driver of the other bus to stop as well.. and what ensues is a verbal duel with those students!
happy with his supposed sweet vengeance, we move... thankfully with lower decibel levels!!!
reach my bus stop>> catch another auto>> get home!
phew!
