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.
