Twenty20 (more to come)

I could have just gone back to having fried rice and my bonvita(fav.) milk, and still chose to write this....Maybe I am a lil. buzzed from the Fosters i've been gulping down while watching the Twenty20 match(India vs. South Africa) or maybe, just got damn excited coz the way my team is playin!!!
BTW, i am running in between my bed room which has my TV and the study where I’m writing this article ;-)
Currently, we(India) are playing against South Africa(once my fav. team), and are doing superb.
Okay WE WON...wow what a match!!!...BIG YAHOOOO.......thats what i call real ADD symptoms now...hahahaa
Anyways, since India's first match against Pakistan, I could sense the "new" Indian team and a whole new beggining of the game "Cricket" and how the future generations are gonna be enjoying this wonderful sport, which till now, I've always taken for granted(even though being a hardcore Indian)...I am also reading Blink right now, which explains a lot of things about sensing and predicting things before they actually happen...All the shit about brain/mind working unconsciously.
Altough, I still think Yuvi should be the captain and not the ramp walking Indian model...But hey, thats me!!! I still like him as a player, but def. not as a Captain.

I am writing this post the Twenty20 Finals(which India won against Pakistan in a super duper exciting battle).....And Dhoni did a great job....First time I saw him make decisions with the bowling and fielding that proved to be good and worked for the Men in Blue
.
P.S:- This blog was drafted last year, yet i choose to post it now while the second season of IPL is goin on....What great memories of winning that first World Twenty20...Cannot wait for the World Twenty20 London edition to begin now :->

Houston, We Have a Problem!

Its almost 1:30 am here in India. As i am browsing through TV channels, all i come across is the news of the Atlantis(the space shuttle) that has safely landed at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. As if it were the first time news channels were broadcasting anything regarding that topic or Suneeta Williams should i say! Kinda similar to Apollo 13 story, but this is set in much more modern era with live images broadcasted. I'm 75% sure, the creative minds in hollywood are already working on a killer script :-)

Well, to be honest, I am sick of seeing and hearing the same news for past three days now. I agree they had some technical difficulties during their mission, and by Gods grace everything worked out well and have returned safely. But, do i have to suffer and know each and every other detail there is about this one specific astronaut just coz she is Indian(by skin ofcourse)!!By now i even know where she was born, raised, whom shes married to, blah blah...I saw people in Calcutta or somewhere on TV performing prayers in front of her picture for her safe return and all!!! What has she done for India that everyones so proud of and cares so much??? What I noticed was this news just didn't get old for past three days and i am just frustrated out of my fcukin mind by now. Again, i am only talking about the (Indian)media over here! By now, I'm sure every other kid on the block knows who Suneeta Williams is in India.

Let me ask you this!!What about the rest, who were with her and played a equal part in the whole mission and were in danger as much as her?

Does going to the space, spending 6 months up there and facing difficuties while on the way back, all it takes for a woman to become a household name throughout India, who according to me is not even an Indian?

True Theory

A firm believer in God, i think the world was created. Evolution is just another part of creation, the universe included. And even though, there are some points that are just so hard for me to get about Evolution or should i say the Evolution THEORY.
See, most people don't know, and out of ignorance, assume theory as a fact. Its the scientists and school books that have make us think theories are real since the time we are in school. The media plays some part in this too. Not to mention
Take this for example, i always thought that the Aryans invaded Northern India and drove the Dravidians towards the South, because, that's what was in my text books . Later on in life, i find out its just a fcukin theory. Which by the way, was a made up one for specific purpose. Germans were the ones to blame for that(theory). Even the British had a big hand in making up some during their Raj. I don't even want to get into that.
So, let me make it clear.
A theory is, facts put together to determine what might have happened, but again are not actually proven and sure. Unlike facts, which is knowledge/information on something that actually happened for real in the past.

So plz people, STOP believing these "Bullshit Theories!"

Oscfares Weekend

As much as i LOVE house and other electronic music, the songs i grew up listening will always remain a part of my life forever. And i do listen to them every now and then. Some good movies i enjoyed of the 80's n 90's i remember are Maine Pyar Kiya, King Uncle, Judwa, Andaz Apna Apna, Chamatkar, Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke, Qayamat Se Qayamatak, Dil, Babu series with Govinda, Rangeela, 1942, Shensha, Darr, Bazzigar, Jo Jeeta, Bombay, Sajaan, DDLJ, HAKHK, Sarfarosh, Tridev, and endless action cum romantic dramas. After all these years, Bollywood has finally learned the meaning of the word "genre", coming out with good films lately. My Winamp is currently enqueued with all those romantic tracks from the 90's, and i am enjoying every lyric and the tune of it while blogging this.

I am writing after a long time, 2 or 3 months i think. I have seen so much during these past months, learned a ton, and never felt this better about myself in years. All this i wanted to put it down here as i saw, felt, and experienced, but couldn't. I would've blamed it on the new blogger.com's new login shit with the new and old account bullshit. But i wont, as i didn't try hard enough to figure out how i could have logged in. Also, i don't intend to write them all at once, so relax. As of now, the topic is OSCFARES.

What a great weekend it was, while there were the Filmfares in the east, the Oscars in the west. Though i missed both of them Live, i did catch the reruns. I was busy socializing...lol...I've read what a great year it had been for Bollywood as a whole industry, but hadn't felt it until recently after i saw Lage Raho...But my favorites were, Rang De Basanti and Omkara. RDB was a very kool and a slick film with a positive message in it, sure a generation has awakened. And, Omkara just straight up ghetto with lots of good acting from all. I was sure of Langda Tyagi(Saif)getting the best actor in a negative role the minute movie was over. What a surprising performance by him, and by all. Not to forget Konkona Sen, i just love her since she appeared in Page 3. Also, whats up with Abhi winning best supporting actor for 3 consecutive years now....i think he did an excellent job in Guru, and am sure might even take home best actor award for it, along with Ash, next year.

I have a thing for movies. I do recognize a good movie or a good performance when i see one. Not trying to boast here, but i just do. I knew Rang De was great in intermission itself, and am happy it won the best picture. Same with The Departed, though in this case, since it was the Oscars, i didn't think it would win the best picture. Since the best picture usually go to movies like Dances with Wolves, Shakespeare in Love, and not Saving Private Ryan or Goodfellas or The Godfather III. But anyways, i sure did know it was a great movie and the acting was superb by all the lead actors. I had added RBD and Departed to my fav. list right after i saw them, and am damn happy that both won.

As for this year, the last good, sensible movie(unlike the Don Remake, it was kool and all but c'mon--wtf) i saw was Eklavya, which also has exceptional acting performances by Big B and the rest. And in English, Idiocracy, which was just a time pass movie and wouldn't come under the classification, good and sensible at all. Am in no hurry though, good movies will keep on coming.

P.S. :- I was watching a movie and after the movie i felt like getting up and clapping for it in the theater.....it had filled me with such a joy and emotion that i cannot explain,,,it was just excellent.......cant remember......shit ...i was in Pune at the time...all this due to too much green back in college that i am having these short term memory losses....damnnnn all that holy smoke.....i'll only edit this part when i remember that movie and moment....till then let this be a part of whole.....later peps

007

I've always enjoyed Bond movies and atleast 5 of them are in my all time fav. movies. I too, just like everyone else, find all the exciting adventure, gadgets, and stunts amazing. Lets not leave out the sexy Bond girls :-)

I saw Casino Royale a couple of weeks ago. What i thought about the movie as a whole?? I really liked it. It wasn't like any of the previous Bond movies made till now, but different in a new entertaining way. I did not care who the bond was, Daniel Craig carried this Bond role really well. And even Pierce Brosnon might have done the same, say given the opportunity. I know a lots of people who are disappointed by the movie. Some say they didn't like the movie(story), too talkative for a Bond flick, while others whine about the new bond, and still cant get over Brosnon. Well, this is not the first time that has happened to Bond. We all grow, including the actor playing Bond.

When Roger More's first movie came out , Bond fans, or should i say, Sean "Bond" Connery fans felt the same way as they feel today. They still had Connery in their mind and were not willing to let him go as Bond. As time went by, and More proved his acting skills and that brit charm(lol) of his, everyone accepted him. Same way, they will adapt to Daniel Craig by the time his 3rd movie hits the box office.

I think the movie was awesome and portrays early life of Bond. And, that's the reason for him being so restless, angry, tough, careless, and mostly, inexperienced. Inexperienced, in the sense, like not as smooth and sleek like the Bond we are use to seeing. But i think he will get there in his next movie or the one after that. Can you believe it, he even falls in love this time! I couldn't imagine Bond resigning from the agency for a woman, a bloody woman(just kiddin ladies), and then wanna marry and live happily ever after with her. Thank god he got betrayed and learned it the hard way.LOL. Never trust a woman completely, they all poses that special power(VAGINA POWER). Talking to Mr. White, he even says "the bitch is dead", which i thought was kool. All women reading this, I Love You'll, so no offense plz. And i guess, that's how he goes on to becomes a playa.

The first chase scene in the movie was superb, i mean all the stunts performed were just mind blowing. I enjoyed the small chat between Bond and Vesper that they had in the train. It was a clever, funny and a sexy scene of them connecting. He also came so close to dying 2 or 3 times. He always carries that risk, but in this he was literally close to death..Getting that special torture treatment..oouuchhh..that was just offlimits man....which made it even more exciting.

It got a little boring after the first half, i almost felt the movie was about to end 2 to 3 times and things would twist. But all the action at the end made it up for that lag. And the best part was yet to come. At the end, right before the credits, for the first time during the movie he tells Mr. White, "The names Bond, James Bond."

A Lot of Shit

My friend recently questioned me about what i did and just for fun, i replied, i handled a lot of shit. He replied askin me how i handled a lot of shit when i couldnt handle myself when we were together.. If you have read my earlier post, you might know a little about my recent past years, which have been really wild n crazy and i've done some (actually a lot of out of control) things that i never imagined i would do. It has been one hell of a roller coaster ride i wont forget.

Also, ever since i came to India, i have been hearing a lot about Yog and Pranayams. I am a religious person, but even more of a spiritual one to believe in these kind of things. I also know some people who regularly practice them and have recommended me to learn and start doing them. Its not that i have any serious health issues, but i've been very very health conscious lately. I watch what i eat and drink, and exercise twice during the day. After reading a little bit about and seeing the benefits of it, i've decided to give it a try. Lets see how it helps and if i can regularly follow it.

Another friend, bought to my attention that i hadnt mentioned anything about my school life in GSPS(ooty) and the friends i had there. Not that i have forgotten anything, but would have made my blog really long, and instead i would've published my auto-biography:-)

I cant figure out whether it was a taunt or he really wanted to know how i still felt. Well whatever it is, i am really hyped to write about it now. In my freshman year, i wrote an essay on the GSPS incident for a english course, and i got an A for it. The professor made me read the paper out loud to the whole class. The next blog will be dedicated to all my GSPS buddies, my then best friend Amit, and all the wonderful and sad memories i have of there, the best damn school in the whole wide World.

Fresh Start

I think of myself as a very poor writer and have never really thought i would be writing a blog. The reason for me writing is to improve my writing style and as i write i can get everyones feedback on my style. I am not well with grammar and don't know too many fancy words i could use in sentences, unless i have a online or MS Words Thesaurus open in another window. And whenever i do write, i think a lot before writing a sentence, if i complete a sentence i go back and edit it, make changes to it, think how it would sound, if this sentence should be put differently. In short, i take a long time to write. Even in college, i would take 3-4 hrs just to complete 1 paper. Is this normal or am i too conscious? Even as i am writing this i have add/deleted and taken up almost 10 mins to just finish this much. Whatever may the case be, I would really like to get some suggestions on how i could improve. So, thanks.
I have been thinking about writing and creating a blog for a while, but don't exactly know what i should be writing about. I don't even know what blogs are. But i have decided i would write about my opinion on current issues, sports, past, philosophy, etc. whatever comes in mind. Well let me tell you a little about myself first. I chose this specific title as it's literary a new start for me in life.

I just completed my undergraduate studies in Marketing and International Business and am currently getting involved our family owned businesses. Having completed my studies in the States, i never gave a fcuk about settling down there for the rest of my life. I had always wanted to come back and do something in or for India. Although my parents wanted me to work there, get a green card, and eventually, a dual citizenship. My parents asked me to get some experience for a year and then come back to India, if not for dual. Well, I didn't see a point in wasting a year working for a company where i would go 325 days and learn nothing but be just following orders and then quitting even before i am eligible for a raise and able to learn something meaningfull about the business. I didn't mind getting a job, but i wanted to work for a MNC, and that too more than a year to get to the right position. Anyways, a very life changing incident occurred during my last semester, and i did loose almost close to a year due to that, and those who know me are aware of how harsh the last year has been for me.

During my college years, all i did was hang out with friends, partied, drank and drink even more. My first 3 yrs, i studied hard and enjoyed at the same time, but my last 2, things really fell apart(i was into a lot of shit) and even started taking studies for granted by then. But past is past and that was COLLEGE to me(good ol' time, the best). I know those years won't be coming back. Will they? So, why give a damn about it! Besides school, i learnt of other things in life during those years. I regret some of my actions i have taken in the past and opportunities that i've missed, but not all the experience i got of being there, meeting new ppl., learning new things constantly, and all the time i spent with the people whose company i enjoyed. I met some wonderful people during those years and would say they were by far my best 5 yrs till now, which taught me a lot. Be it about Life, Different People and their behaviour(mean and nice), Staying away from home, and mostly about Sex & Relationship(s).LOL... By the end of 5th year, that specific chapter of my life was about to end. Though, leaving me clueless about the future, a new one was about to unfold.
