Its 2.50 a.m as I finish my last story from Jeffrey Archer’s Cat O Nine Tales…Found the book to be just about ok as m tryin to develop reading interests again (inspired by my pathetic scores in English in SIMCAT)…..started with One Night @ Call Centre n found the book to be quite interesting that I finished it one day…..Total filmy n probably dats y I liked this book….And its not that I never used to read…I actually luved reading durin my school days….used to sit from 12.00 a.m to 4.00 am durin my vacation to finish off a book (favourites being Enid Blyton’s Mysterious 5, Hardy Boys, R L Stine’s Fear street saga) despite some serious warnings to go off to sleep frm my grandfather…..I donno y but after 9th std I completely stopped reading….n now making an effort to start that again………Luk fwd to reading 5 point someone and 3 mistakes of my life in the near future…
18/10/2008:
I had written the above post initially as a part of diff strokes -2, but then dint feel like posting it…so removed dat part while posting….n by now I have already read 5 point some1 and 3 mistakes…after reading one night @ call centre, dint really find 5 point to be all dat interesting but after reading 5 point. I liked 3 mistakes….though interestingly book like 5 point actually inspires me to write as well….but then sadly I don hav frends like Ryan and Alok, nor do I have a galfrend like Neha (jo ek crush thi who bhi kahin kho gayi n gues m actually happy abt it), nor do I have too many memorable moments of school/college life (the only ones I remember are couple of embarrassing moments…wonder y these never leave u) and hardly have I ever screwed up my grades….infact this reminds me of few instances where I had screwed up my scores (CA course not included):
One which I distinctly remember was in my 9th std during my science-1 practicals..the experiment was to measure the volume of a stone by immersing it in a beaker filled with water upto the brim n calculating the volume of water displaced by it…I took the stone tied onto a thread and immersed into the beaker holding the thread, and then realized water was not filled upto the brim and as I was trying to pour water into the beaker using other hand, the thread slipped from my hand and the stone was going inside…as an immediate reaction, I put my hand inside the beaker to collect the stone and the water started flowing onto the table and my answer sheet (and to make matters worse , I was occupyin the first table) when prof quickly came up to my table and helped me with cleanin up the answer sheet and remarked with a smug on his face “ R u trying to measure the volume of your hand???” n sarcastically added “ u r the same guy who scored full in algebra? How much do u think u ll get here?” I thought to myself “ ok fine I m a duffer when it comes to science…big deal”…I never even liked dat subject
Another instance which I remember was da maths paper in FYJC in the second term which I guess no podarite of my batch can ever forget….twas the toughest maths paper I mite have ever come across…I remember wen I started writing that paper , questions were looking like greek and latin…absolute bouncers to me. I realized dat I was consuming too much time on the initial questions and after wasting considerable amount of time, I thought I will start solving from behind and I quickly realized I wont run short of time…infact I will have too much tym on hand coz I jus dinno how to solve…but then here situation of others weren’t too different …all of us were lookin at each other n one of my frenz walked out of the exam in half an hour….but I did manage to pass securing a 42/100 (ohh I stil remember those marks) I think not more than 6 students mite have cleared out of our class of 50 (majority of whom were those who secured 85+%in SSC)
Apart from the above 2 instances, another subject which scared me was “ Foundation Course” (FC) in SYBCom…had no clue wat was dat subject doin in syllabus…it was abt sum historic n pre historic stuff…sumthin which I could neither understand nor mug up..i think I scored 19/50 in first term n 17/50 in 2nd (meaning 36/100 …just managed to pass thou technically speaking flunked in the 2nd term…n I guess the first and only tym I mite hav flunked)…neways I made sure these marks never reached my parents…I jus gave dem the overall percentage I scored which was quite decent I think (don remember dat at all) probably the reason y they never asked individual subject marks….
Oops….got a little carried away… now comin bak to the topic I was originally discussin …dat abt writing a story…wel quite clear dat I don’t have much to write abt myself that can be converted into a story so sumthing like a 5point sum1 is ruled out….but then a “3 mistakes” kinda story is possible…for which I jus needed sum1 else to narrate their story to me….and importantly an interesting story….n yup I did find dat person…..so next few posts on my blog wud be her story….Apeksha's love story……well I don really know how well can i/she put it across…but ya can definitely assure u dat its gonna b worth a read…..keep reading……….

Karzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………..( o.k now wake up guys n pls read this)….
Monty is back….with Vengeance.. (n so is the audience after watchin the movie)…
19/10/08:
The Background (absolutely compulsory for this review):
It all started on 30th June, 2007 at 6.00 p.m. As I was getting up from my seat after watching Aap Ka Surrooorrr, I promised myself I will come back for Himesh Reshammiya’ s (HR) next movie…..
And as the release date for Karzzzzz came close (17/10/08) started gathering people for the movie….its no fun watchin HR movie alone or with jus 2-3 others…. rather its suicidal but then no difference as far as the end result is concerned if u r taking a group alongwith u since others in the group will do the honors……
So shout out mails to all the possible friends who I thought would either come for an HR movie or those who I thought I could convince to come with me….and after all convincing and last minute cancellations there were finally 11 of us (had booked 12 tickets but Ramaiy’s car broke down on his way and we had to sell his ticket n thankfully we did find a buyer)…n now let me immortalize their names by writing it here and in the order that we were seated from left to right….
Sulakshana, Rohit, Avani (deloitte frends), Viju (Myself…lolz), Vaidehi (gotta know her thru a common frend), Sangeet (GMCS), Mihir (Yes Bank), Prapthi (Mihirs cousin), Ashwin (School & College), Sudeep and Vaishak (deloitte again, with vaishak being the only guy who was der for aap ka surroor as wel)
Diverse group where only I knew all of them except mihirs cousin ofcourse….
N now THE REVIEW of THE MOVIE of THE YEAR…..
The Movie:
To sum up in 1 line “ Monty (HR) is the super dude who can sing, dance, romance, fight, etc, etc, etccccccccc (the z effect)…. all gals are jus crazy over him…In short hes da best guy in this world” or so he thinks… but alas!!!! We wish he could act as well….
The storyline is absolutely the same as the old hit Karz (so m not gonna narrate the story), which has jus been “modernized” rather ther was an attempt to modernize…n the only notable change being the few extra zzzzs which is very much reflective of the movie…it puts audience to sleep,,,,
The movie starts with the background music of “Lut jaun Lut jaun is karz mein” yup distributors toh lut hi gaye is karz mein….but I liked the song….
And then there is a song by our rockstar after every 5 mins…all sounding the same…
I understand HR playing the character Monty as its basically wat he aspires to be….and can only aspire….but wat on earth was Dino Morea thinking when he played Ravi Verma….. uff wat kinda roles can a series of flop movies make a person do!!!!….but seriously hero bane na bane HR toh fir bhi paise banayega thru his music…wonder what will Dino do???
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, a break in between…..Well incidentally jus came to know that 2 of the above mentioned 11 have already blogged about the movie (hey but dats not fair guys, I was supposed to be da first one to write….) Neways after reading them, I don’t think I have anything more to offer…….. so guys pls do chk out these blogs for the movie review…….

Different Strokes –II
10/10/08:
Its 2.23 a.m and m jus not sleepy as m listenin to “Bas Ek Pal” (I simply luv this song) for the umpteenth time now…..Enjoyed the Dussera holiday lazin around at home, sleepin, eatin and of course chattin….also made an attempt to understand the solutions of maths problems of the last SIMCAT and realized ki “mera kuch nahi hone wala CAT mein”…..was chattin with V wen she asked abt my next topic on the blog and as usual I replied I hav nothing to write and as I write this I realize that I actually don’t have anything to write…..lolz….well she did suggest a topic n I thought I ll jus club it with sum random thoughts to finish of the 2nd part…..
Radio : My lifeline during travel
Now as I m listenin to Aksar (from Hijack and my current favourite song from the recent ones), jus thinking about the importance of radio….. If u r travellin in Mumbai n via bus and the journey takes more than 1 hour and u hav lost ur N73 ME phone n ur current phone doesn hav an MP3 but only a radio, u ll know wat a special place radio wil hold in ur travel life……thou I miss my n73, I hav now started enjoyin listenin to the music n the RJs on the radio… especially on my return journey when it is quite late, busses are empty, no signs of traffic n I get the window seat….. n luv 2 test my bollywood music knowledge by tryin to guess the song before it starts…
About the shows durin morning tym…I get too irritated with jeeturaj (98.3 fm)….n cant stand his voice even for a minute…..wonder how can there be such a huge fan following….while I guess Jaggu- Tarana (94.3 fm) completely rock….theirs is easily the best morning show by far…….n on my journey back, quite frequently listen to the Luv 10 at 10 show by K….n find it quite weird as to y ppl make their confessions / ask ppl for a date thru a radio…..neways interesting to hear them…..n now m too bored to write anything further on this…will jus conclude with the songs dat I m currently listenin to (a list of them actually…hehe) apart frm bas ek pal n aksar
Rock On – Tum ho toh, sinbad the sailor, socha hai ;; Kidnap - Mit Jaye;;
Anwar: maula mere/ tose naina laage (if any1 has this song pls send it across)
Bachna Ae Haseenon : Aahista, Khuda Jaane, Jogi-Mahi
Ankahee : Ek Pal ke liye (movie toh andekhi reh gayi but this song is gud)
Aamir: Chakkar Ghumiyo (the song never became as popular as the movie but donno y this song always bring a smile on my face…do hear this…) n so on…..
The Journey:
I recollect an incident on my way back from office which happened I think atleast 1 month back…..was sittin at the window seat listenin to the radio when a guy came n sat next to me…had a plastic bag inside which there was a brown paper cover…he first threw the plastic bag out of the window n then it was the brown paper cover’s time to go out, inside which was an icecream cup, he then opened the cover of the cup n then threw it out….n I was getting too pissed at this n thought to myself if after finishin the ice cream he s gonna throw the cup as well, I will start yelling (thou I wasn’t sure if it was really a wise thing to do)…..n yup after he finished the ice cream he did jus exactly dat, but fortunately or unfortunately due to the wind, the icecream cup flew back inside and fell on my lap…n I smiled to myself…now I hav a reason to yell…but before I cud say anything he quickly took the cup, threw it out again n apologized sayin it was due to the wind….n I replied (obviously not shouting) “ baat ye cup wapas girne ki nahi hai par aap kitni der se kuch na kuch fek rahe ho….kyon itna ganda kar rahe ho”….to which he replied “abhi daanth nikala hai aur doctor ne bola ice cream khaane ko abhi main ye aur kaha pe fekun”….n I said “jab utar jao tab fekna tha na…ghar pe bhi cheezein aise hi fekte ho kya? (all inspired by those Clean Mumbai-Green Mumbai ads shown in the theatre) please aage se aise mat fekna” after which he din say anything but had an embarrassed look on his face….i thought he atleast was among those better category of people who realize that he shudnt hav done that , coz I wudnt hav been surprised if the other guy wud hav shouted at me askin me to mind my own business….jus wanna request all those reading this….pls don’t litter things around n pls discourage others frm doin so…. The most irritatin part is when ppl spit pan out of the window…..too disgustin but can anything be done here??
The Number 9:
Nopes, I don’t believe in numerology and all, but I do feel that number 9 is lucky for me…..My DOB is 18th (which adds upto 9), September (9th month), n year 2007 (2+7=9) was the best year till date for me as I completed my CA in 2007 ….also one of the reasons y I dint want to take the preponed attempt in 2006, apart from the main reason that I wasn’t prepared…..i actually felt more confident when CA final exam which was scheduled to be held on 3/5 got postponed to 4/5/2007 (4+5 added to 9, 4+5+2007 =18 which again added upto 9)….but I guess something which I never imagined was getting a rank in final n it happened to be 45th…..aha a 9 again!!!!! Too much of coincidence…..
The Title:
When I had started with the topic, the initial title that came to my mind was random thoughts, but considerin dat sumbody already had the copyrights on it, I started thinking of sum other title wen different strokes came to my mind and the immediate thing that I recollected was the serial that used to come on Sony I think (or was it Star) which I luved..infact miss those kinda serials now….Dennis the Menace, I dream of Genie, Small Wonder…..
Time for me to hit the bed…..n now again I don hav any topic to write…..n I hav no clue if wat I have written above makes sense at all…lolzzzz……
