Finally the post on thee much awaited movie. The movie whose music had made me crazy and the movie I was really really dying to see, of course because it was the sequel of Jab We Met.
Although the expectations were very high from the movie, specially because of Jab We Met and somewhat because of the good casting and music but the mixed type of feedbacks which I got from my friends was making me even more restless to watch the movie and decide myself. Alas, the movie didn’t turn up the way I had thought. I found it just ok ok types.
Noooo, I am not at all biased because of JWM/ In beginning, I had to push the pre-quel out of my mind a couple of times but then I totally forgot about JWM, as my mind got occupied with all the loopholes of LAK *grin*.
The starting itself was awful- the practical Deepika and the usual cpnfused commitment fearing Saif were not looking like lovers, rather looking like make out buddies with absolutely no chemistry between them.
The old Rishi Kapoor is looking cute but Saif playing the young Rishi Kaoor is looking equally iritatinf. The role of a turbanded sardar can never suit the choclatey Saif and of course no question of looking a khatarnaak wala sardar as Rishi Kapoor calls himself in his younger days. I really wonder where are all the beautiful Indian models and actresses are gone as the director had to select this Brazilian girl for the role of Harleen Kaur. It was pathetic to see the artificial looking girl dancing stupidly on the lal al al al song. Ufff!!!
Initially the 2 symmetric stories of Jai- Meera and Veer-Harleen looked untolerable. Something was definitely missing because of which the past and the present was not able to blend properly. Of course everytime the editing cannot be as good as Rang De Basanti and Rock On where we don’t really feel when are we taken into past and when we are back into present but this one was actually below average. May be Imtiaz Ali is not that experienced with this type of direction.
The music which was making me crazy, was not at all justified by the picturisation of the songs in the movie. The senti and melodious song- Dooriya was murdered by adding it in the initial 10 minutes of the movie- at a time when there was no story, no depth and no momentum in the movie!! Though it looked excellent when the 4 lines are played at the end of the movie when Deepika comes down from the ladder and Saif looks at her with the affection in her eyes. I really wish they had added a proper situation to do justice to this lovely number.
The chor bazari video is still ok if we forget that its supposed to be shot in Delhi (oops- dilli :D). But my favorite song – Aaj Din Chadiya, the innocent lyrics I loved is not at all taken seriously in the movie L
The story is not bad but still too much for Indian audience. The broken marriages are still not happily accepted by masses and hence Deepika kind of betraying poor Rahul Khanna only because of her confusions is not a good idea to show. Had it been their engagement in place of marriage, it would have added more sanity to the movie *grin*
The only 3 scenes I liked in the movie- firstly, the phone chat between Saif and Deepika when she is in flite. Hey, she has copied this from me. This is my style- to keep talking on phone while boarding the flite and hanging up only whne the air hostess pats on my arm with a smile and tells me to switch off the mobile. Copycat!!! The other scene I liked was the one Deepika getting married and Saif’s speaks blah blah blah- knowingly unknowingly he speaks everything in his heart but shows as if he is trying to convince the girl though he is actually trying to convince himself. Poor guy!!! And last and the least, the end sequence- right from Saif asking out Deepika, Doriya song and Neetu aunty’s entry. Only Ranvir Kapoor was missing from the complete family as the bahu Depika was already there *grin*.
Bus aur kuch nahi tha movie me- no good humour, no good costumes, no good story, no good dances, nothing yaar!!!

All Junk And No Gym Makes Appy Look Fat And Ugly...
Till 10 yearbs back when I was in school, I was very slim but after going to hostel, I don’t know why but I started putting on!! Though not very fat but I became a bit chubby!!!
And now I have this tendency to put on weight. I really put on if I dont go for walk or work out. . Well thats one of my favorite activity- walking with the goodie songs playing on the headets plugged in my ears. I can walk for hours in a cool night with the show Purani Jeans playing on Mirchi. Exactly what I used to do on the terrace of my PG when I was in Gurgaon and that really helped me in maintaining my weight.
Even 1 kg increase or a tiny tyre is enough to make me tense as I really hate those extra unwanted kilos on me.
But the hectic work schedule in Singapore made me come home late and left me with no time to go for evening walks and eventually led to putting around 7 kgs. Yeagh I was pissed off like anything. I was ashamed of facing my old friends and the most painful thing was to buy new clothes as my old jeans and trousers used to trease me .. sob sob.
Thanks to Shalini who motivated me to utilize the office gym for getting back into shape and we both started going to gym in evening. It was not tuf as work schedule was also not that hectic/. We both provided each other a very good company and the support b/w us helped us in going to gym regularly and I lost around 4 kgs in 2 months... yiipppeeeee
But thenn came this USA trip where i tried to maintain my routine of going on morning walks even in the snow but my teammates scared me of the high crime rate in and suggested me not to wander outside alone. As a result once again I putted on and the ugly tyres started apperaring again on the waist... reallly hate them !!!
The poor client didnt provide any gym to its employees and oince again the hectic schedule prevented me from joining a private gym. Thankfully the trip was short and I was able to join the gym in my new office once again but now this hectic schedule and deadly deadlines are once again becoming a hurdle and making me regularly irregular in gym :D
I love working out in gym. Whren I run on tread mill, it feels as if all my stress is flowing out as sweat. Its not only to loose weight and stay fit but my stress buster also. Alas there is no instructor in the gym but I am trying to learn more about working out with the help of google and some freiends who are motr experienced in gym.
I really wish the coming milestone date to cross quickly so that I can get back to my schedule of gymming once again :)

Bachna Ae Hasino/ Ipod Nano…
Saturday: Saw this latest movie of Ranbir and Bips on Saturday. Second day Night Show – not bad if I manage this in Singapore. But tried a new movie hall this time; just opposite to my apartment. I was not aware that there is a Golden Village opposite to my apartment which shows selected hindi moview also – what a jerk I am to go to Bugis everytime to watch a movie. This Golden Village was exactly like PVRs of delhi/Gurgaon. Multiplex – audi look and feel – sound system – picture quality – even the advertisements – everything reminded me of my fav hang out – PVR Cinemas. Though Jade Cinemas in Bugis where I used to go can be compared to Chanakya Movie hall but still there was no tension of catching MRT or night rider since we got late in night.
Oops – I forgot that this post is about the movie and not the movie hall *grin*. Ranbir Kapoor is improving in his looks as well as acting. Looking cute though has to learn a lot. The killer as he called himself was too choclatey to be a flirt. Breaking the hearts of sweeties like Mahi and Bips and then falling for Deepika. Story was not too strong but still the presentation was good and interesting. The best part was the exotic locations of shooting. Hats off to di dost who knew most of the locations shown in movie – hmmm she is watching too much of travel and living these days *grin*.
First half of the movie was very interesting and fast but the second half was slow and boring at times. Chalo atleast Mr.Killer realised his mistake and dared to apologise to the gals he dumped otherwise people are not that courteous today. I liked the music as well splly the title track. Will download the music as soon as I complete my LLD document and get some time *tired smile*.
Sunday: Hey the more rocking news is that I bought my dream product – the gadget I wanted to buy for last 3 years and requested soo many of my frnds to get it from all the corners of the world- US/UK/Sweden but nobody did. So here is my iPod Nano 4 GB. The piece of my heart is silver in color with pink cover which adds a pink tinge to it. See I didn’t go for a pink ipod – only bght a pink cover – m trying to change my pinky image *good attempt appy puppy*. I don’t understand why these apple ppl don’t load iTunes in the iPod. Because of this I wasn’t able to try it y’day. Had to wait till today when downloaded the s/w and then installed and loaded the songs tonite only. And skipped the dinner meals for 2 consecutive days as this cutie pie is much much more exciting than going into the kitchen, cooking something and then eating it too *ok but plz don’t tell this to my mom*.
Am too excited for my new iPod but wished it had FM also so that it cud have been more useful after going back to India. No worries – will update it with the latest songs. But this postpones my plan to buy new cellphone. Ok will buy another pair of headsets (have already bought a dozen and lost/broken them) and get it repaired as soon as breaks into 2 pieces this time*hey never buy a phone with 2 flaps as its not that robust*.
Its 1 at night but I don’t want to sleep. Just want to listen to my fav numbers in the ipod *sweetie smile*.

Hapy B'day Di Dost...
Di Dost thats what I call Rajyashree as she is my elder sister cum best friend in Singapoee. The huge age difference and her mature nature makes damn caring towards me and our similar likings and tastes makes us best friends.
I will never forget the office apartment which I shared with 4 other HCL girls in Singapore. Since all of us were far from our motherland, we shud have been close and helping to each other but the scene was totally different. Actually all 5 of us had different natures and routines. Though we were equally sharing the groceries, we were not able to share the responsibilities and everyone thought that she is doing the maximum work and the other 3 are doing nothing. And becuaes of all these troubles, 2 of my flatmates had a big row one evening. Since I have always been blessed with good friends, the incident was very disappointing and I decided not to be very friendly with anyone.
The next morning when I was cooking my breakfast, somebody knockedte main door. I opened the door, it was a new girl coming directly from airport with her huge suitcases and bags After a formal introduction she asked me the usual basic queries like how far is the train station, frm where can be get the sim carda dn all. From the first talk itself I realisedthat she is quite mature and a frequuent traveller hence confident. But I decieded to stay away from her as wella s I had lost the hope of getting a gud frn in Singapore. We stayed together in that flat for around 20 days but I didnt get much time with her. Though Vandana got quite friendly with her and I talked to Rajshri a couple of times only bcoz Vandana was the only girl I liked talking to. So by law of transitivity me and Rajyashree became frnds. Then we all moved to our personal rented accomodations.
And started meeting on weekends. All 3 of us freakies hanged out in whole singapore and didnt leave any place to visit except the bird park [:D]. Within some time we got so close that could not miss even one weekend without meeting each other. Our weekend GTs were the best stress buster for us as all 3 of us were not at all happy in ou new houses and missed each other.
In may we travelled to Malaysia. Indeed, Di organised the trip, made all the bookings and took care of both of us like her kids on the trip.Rajyashree is a perfect person whom anybody and everybody will adoreHer. Good looks, intelligence, professionaism, caring attitude, sensible
thinking, matureness - everything is perfect. Though her cooking and communication skills are even beyond perfection [:D]. I like her shopping spree and the way she enjoys her life - shoping, travelling, spending on her looks, everything is admirable.
Di, u dont have a hint that how good you are. I am really blessed to have you in my life. You have always been with me in all the good and bad times in Singapore. I can never never forget how loving and caring u have been with me. I know I can depend on you as u take care of my every little need.
Had I been a boy, I would have married u no matter how old u r bcoz u r the bestest person in this world. I mean it!!!! I wish you loadz ofgood luck in ur life. may bhagwanji bless u with choicest kindness and all ur dreams come true.
Loadz of luv to u on this special day. Keep smiling alwayzz. Puchiii [:)]

Kon-Fused...
I want to cry. I want to laugh.
I want to go back to India. I want to stay in Singapore.
I hate office- the work pressure and deadlines are killing me. I love my work and project – very happy to work for the first time in 3 years and learning so many new things.
I don’t want to see anybody’s face except my parents. I want to go out with my friends on weekend.
I don’t want to eat anything. I will cook Rajma Chawal tonite and bhindi tomorrow morning.
I should go back to India and marry the guy of my parent’s choice. I should stay in Singapore for another one year and focus on my career.
I am very upset. I am very happy.
These are the thoughts occupying my mind for last 3-4 days. Is it the usual frustration a person gets sometime or am I the victim of terrible mood swings I have at times or the uncertainities and scare I am feeling right now. Not sure about the reason of the confusion but feeling very restless and anxious as I am not able to decide my priorities and wishes.
