I missed a flight

I know you must be thinking: "Who misses a flight?" , "How can someone miss a flight?" , ... But I missed one. My tryst with flight journeys have always been paralleled by emotional turmoils in my life. Yes!

So I had to board this flight from T1 Airport of Delhi (the old one). And, I was late by 10 minutes. Only explanation I can think of is "bad karma" as I was caught up in a highly unlikely traffic jam. Thinking about bad karma, this trip marks a lot of changes in my growing up. I am more than 25 years of age but I still need to mature a lot. I have to learn to deal with romantic pursuits in a better & sane manner. Yes, I did face troubles in my love life, yet again!

But this time, I was lucky enough to have a superb support system in the form of family and few very special friends. I would categorically like to thank this person I respect a lot for the time which she took out to free up my mind from the overhang. In this way, I discovered that there are always people who care for you, may be different sets of people at different times. Important aspect is that there are always people who like you. You just need to keep your senses receptive enough to feel it. Or else what is the difference between us, sentient beings and robots?
Book Suggestions Below:

My Atthani : Dedh Ishqiya

Rating : 8.0/10

Reasons to spend your money : Arshad Warsi, Huma Qureshi & Classy dialogues

You can stay at home if : You have to watch this movie!

You would like it if you like :  Intelligent dialogues, Suspense & Madhuri Dixit

You would hate it if you dislike : Urdu diction & subtitles for understanding them

There are two types of films which leave a lasting impression on your mind. One, the movie which keeps you wanting for more and the other, which has just the correct duration of cinema for offering. Dedh Ishqiya belongs to the latter type. Dedh Ishqiya starts with bothering you too much with its Urdu but after the interval this movie is a real delight to watch. Don't miss this one!

My Atthani : Dhoom 3 Movie Review

Rating : 6.0/10

Reasons to spend your money : Katrina Kaif, Action Sequences

You can stay at home if : If you have high expectations from Aamir.

You would like it if you like :  Masala Hindi Cinema, Chiseled Guys & Hot girls

You would hate it if you dislike : Cheesy lines, corny jokes, Uday Chopra


This film on a whole is a decent one-time watch. It slowly grows on you but never reaches the crescendo which was almost round the corner at least for 3-4 times. Surprisingly, Katrina has been given the best dialogues. Don't go with high expectations and you would come out without regrets.  

My Atthani : Bullett Raja Movie Review

Rating : 7.5/10
Reasons to spend your money : Saif Ali Khan, Clever dialogues & Happy Ending
You can stay at home if : If you don't like revenge-fueled violence. 
You would like it if you like : Pulp Fiction, Gangs of Wasseypur & Ajay Devgan-Action 
You would hate it if you dislike : Sholay, Quentin Tarantino-flicks & incoherent-story

This was my Atthani about Bullet Raja. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The movie also posits about why Lord Brahma has only one temple at Pushkar. The characters played by Saif Ali Khan &  Jimmy Shergill make you fall in love with killing, throwing bricks, stones and what-not at their opponents.

I won't write about the negatives because I didn't find anything which could make the movie-watching experience tiring & worthless.  

Sachin Tendulkar : GOD of Centuries

This blog post has been sitting in my folder for around 30 months, to be published on the day Sachin plays his last ever international match. During this tenure, I have transformed from a student to teacher. This post reflects that phase of my life in which I used to swish any object in my hand every couple of minutes remembering a Sachin stroke.
Now that he is finally retiring from all forms of cricket, I push the publish button

...3,2,1...Go 24th February 2010

I’m sitting in an IIT-hostel room just 12 hours before an exam and instead of preparing for that important subject on “Climate Modeling”, I have cross-legged, and equally divided by weight on my arse and thighs, and using a pen to write this. Is this usual? No, it isn’t.

Usually an IITian has two chores, either to spend his time and government’s money on his laptop or studying for exam which is the next morning’s first boring mission.
“Dhoni, you’ll get infinite opportunities to hit sixes in your life but please take a single”
People were crying, pleading and yelling at their country’s skipper hitting some lusty shots. Was this strange? They wanted their “GOD” to take that “1 RUN” and he did it!
“Sachin Tendulkar”; a pair of words synonymous with GOD. A phenomenon which can’t be discovered, explained or be written a thesis upon. A personality which defies the “tall-dark-handsome: acid test” to be called a lady’s man.
I can emphatically say that I have never been so happy in my life, not even when I cracked the IIT-JEE!
I witnessed my favourite sportsperson achieving a peak which I envisioned would be done by players like Sehwag and Ganguly, who are minions in front of this legend. Say it tragedy or divine intervention, my cell-phone is not working, my laptop is in comma and is unavailable for any service. I’m totally out of any contact with any of my friends and relatives with whom I’ve spent my entire childhood and teenage-life watching and praising “Tendulkar”. Sachin Tendulkar is the only person in this world for whom I’d not even think twice if he asks me to bat for the other side (if you know, what I mean?). Orgasmic, is a word which is often misused and overused by people who haven’t experienced the “real-orgasm”. However, I’m not wrong if I say the innings of 200 by Tendulkar was orgasmic and would never even forget to describe this to my first orgasm-partner. If my laptop and mobile were working, this would’ve been a blog-post and I’d not be using a 10-rupee pen to write about one of the best men I will keep on adulating. But, coming back to the worldly affairs, I have an exam, it is also important to pass in that.
I’m pissed-off and happy too! Can’t explain this feeling, it’s like sweet n sour tomato soup…?
“Sachin…Tendulkar”
