RIP Heath Ledger


The mania of Batman has set upon us with an unanimous song of praise for one actor the late Heath Ledger.The drug over dose untimely death of the Joker created more hype to an already anticipated movie which promised to delievr after a superb prequel- Batman Brgins.Insiders started whispering that Heath's perfomance was going to deliver him an oscar and surely it can. I wasnt quite sure whether the people were sympathetically trying to make his perfomance look out of this world after his demise. I could have downloaded it via torrent but I waited to see it on the 70mm screen paying a tribute to Mr.Ledger.The last movie I watched in which he starred was Brokeback Mountain.Ang Lee's film making waqs impeccable and Jake Gyllenhaal ate Heath's perfomance on screen but the man potrayed his character with some charm.Some of my friends couldnt understand what he was talkin which is the country cow boy tongue,but honestly people who thought he couldnt talk take a look at the Dark Knight. Now Im an avid Bat man and all comics made into flicks follower,but after Batman Begins I knew that the Dark Knight like its predecessor would take the comic book essence out and potrya real human emotions.Love,greed,jealously,redemption,revenge etc the Batman Begins flick was all about Bruce Wayne and his emotions rising above everything in the world,right from the first scene where he is fighting inmates in a Chinese jail.


The dark knight is all about the joker.Jack Nicholson played Joker in the first batman flick,but the Dark Knight makes all the comic book into Movies look like bull shit.


Heath Ledger has taken the funny Joker's role so seriously that he doesnt need to act,its that effortless.In the firdst Bat flick,theres a lotta nonsense on how Joker becomes Joker and there are some stupid scenes where he makes every chick in gotham look like him.But in the dark Knight,theres a scenes where Heath holds this thug and his expressions in that scene are just mind blowing.The joker is as psychotic as Ive ever seen any mad man,and the way Heath handles his walk,talk and other minute things like tilting his head and flashing his tongue is just commendable.The filming,screenplay,direction by Chris Nolan is good,we knew that.He's made Memento which is the inspiration or rather it is copied as Ghajini.


But if not for anything watch the Joker come alive and send a chill down your spine.


Are the human emotions that dark?I think so after watching the dark knight.


May your soul rest in peace Heath Ledger.Thank you for giving us the Joker,in an avtar that I didnt expect at all.

La storia continua campianato 08/09




the strory continues for my beloved AS Roma in the new season which promises to be the most competitive season in a long time.Milan,Inter,Fiorentina and of course Juventus have all strenghtened their squads with some fantastic addition as compared to our squad bolstered only by the arrivals of Riise and the back up defender Simone Loria.


We didnt need to invest in the transfer market but after the sale of Mancini I think its about time we get atleast two players to deepen the squad.Adrian Mutu was so close and it would have been so perfect!!I tried in FiFA08 the game and it combination of Totti-Mutu was remarkable.


Times running out and we need a left sided player and a striker.Although these days Im just nuts behind Mirko Vucinic!Fondly called by his critics as VuciBitch, he managed to silence them and score some screamers.


I know this season he's gonna get better and earn the title 'The Maradona of the Balkans'.


Hail Mirko!Forza Roma


the 08/09 season is going to be special as Ill be witnessing it from a distance of 45 mins by air,in London.

MCP The Misconception

Firstly Amanda,you didnt coin the word MCP ie Male Chauvinistic Pig as you proclaim.Its been on since centuries and I can n ow truly say its a myth in this century atleast in Mumbai as the guys in Mumbai are the nicest you can get if you compare Mumbaikars to the dogs of Delhi.Every male has a blaoted up ego,if a woman is better than him in anyway but its the natural emotion of jealously and not chauvinism which is wrongly quoted. In todays world I think the present youth are proud that women have reached and conquered every aspect of this materialistic world and their ambition doesnt know any limits. Compared to the male dominated society that was established women in upper class families can dare to dream.Its sad that women in the lower strata have less say,but even they have accomplished certain things deemed impossible or a taboo back in the olden days. Last time this girl was telling me that Girls are better than boys in studies and ya thats a fact. Girls on an average basis concentrate more than us who tend to get distracted. But there isnt anything like superiority of the sexes,well its just the same.
The other day I was judged as a MCP wrongly by the fellow male passengers in the train.I was going to churchgate,from goregaon at around 4 30 pm when the train was almost empty and getting a seat was peanuts.At andheri 4 women boarded the general compartment,I cant imagine why because really there was no rush in the ladies too.So they are all in the late 30's early 40's,all of them are friends and they come and stand near the seats where me and tow guys are seated.This one guy melted,got up and gave up his seat.Looking at him this other guy too got up and they were expecting me to do the same.I didnt budge.Why?Cos thats not fair,when you have a full compartment for yourself please use the facility instead of harassing already seated people.These ladies chattered across,gabe me cold glares and got down at dadar.After Santacruz, the train was empty,they could have waited a while instead the guys who were seated and got up muttered something in disgust.Thats not fair,I give up my seat everytime when some one needs it.In Delhi I know those guys in offices dont even bother to move.
I have just one complaint to all the women,you have been given ample facilities by the govt. and love by the most co-operative Mumbaikars please dont cry over nothing.And especially this goes out to the biggest two sexists I know-Amanda and Reni.
Both of them lament about how useless guys are in front of me,its the same ghissa pitta tape.Guys sleep,they dont have feelings,girls rock blah blah but both these losers cant live without their boyfriends.Even in the Goa trip both of them were hung up,crying on the phone but when they returned it was all roses.What the fuck?If you dont wanna relationship then why are you in one?And then you complain about guys?Go the other way,dont think straight.
As for me being a MCP,take this example I want to be the manager of the Indian womens football team and Chak de and SRK copied my brain because Bend it like Beckham was my inspiration to become a football manager

I Miss college

Ok Ive been listening to Dagonkars song non stop and its at the tip of my tongue but I do miss college man!!!!The first is the drive,even my car has become so used to it by now.I just wish I had better company for my drive it was worth it.My fastest lap form say Inorbit mall to Mithibai was 14 mins 51 seconds.I miss everone including the rest of the class who I wasnt even close with.Shubhada Maam and me after her life with stupid questions,and she talking about her son,husband etc those days I used to make fun but now I miss it..It was a routine for 3 years.The singing,writing,drawing,sleeping Im going back to the second floor class room where I carved out the roster of the roma squad for last season.Those pricless lectures where I failed to imbibe biotech as I was lost,but if felt good to be lost like gypsy without a direction.
Now at Guildford Ill be competing with other management students,not that Im complaining but the world at Mithibai was something that has taught me.The last 5 years have been the best.It wasnt college it was life.
A new adventure awaits me at the University of Surrey,but those days at Mithibai,my dream college in Mumbai after the 10th were something special.Im crying now,I cant reminisce anymore or Ill breakdown

Arrivadaci Mumbai

As my visa comes along the moment of deparure from my home dawns as fast as the speed of sound.I do intend to write a whole thing on my blog titled as the wonder years cos these years have been the wonder years and now Ill be starting an independent life like an adult a term that people dont associate with me.I still feel disgusted when people like my ex girlfriend and her current lover felt that I was immature.What college was boring,cant a poor guy have fun??Look at the stupid boring class,a'least I spiced it up.
But anyways theres a whole list of things that I have to do before I go and they are all important things.The first has to be a message to that bitch,but Im considering it and right now I dont feel like it but Ill take a poll to be sure!!lol
But seriously I have to tell this girl sorry for some nonsense that Id uttered when i was a tad younger.Poor gal felt really bad that day,I didnt know she was just behind me.She has never spoken to me sicne and all this time I didnt know it was because of that incident.
I have to meet neha and tell her that I was sorry for being a jerk back then,I have really bettered since my ugly school days.
I have to tell someone that I loved her and still do and will always will.
Umm I still haved to get drunk with my friends cos that is not going to happen now with them for a long time.
I have to tell a few people that they were really selfish and used me and I like a libran bore the brunt beacuse were nice people.
I have to give Winkie 'a thousand splendid suns' so that she does not follow the likes of amanda when she grows up from a girl.
I have to thank everyone I know for being an integral part of my journey.Everone I met and I remember from those days at shivaji park where I learnt to walk to the present the day where Im going to fly.
And thank my city Bombay-Mumbai.I was born in Bombay brought up in Mumbai.My home forever

Comin soon: Kaavish - Bachpan our music video

I have just finished shooting a music video which is our brain chiid ie me omi and unz.Since shazi dropped out beacause citing family problems,the three of us were awake on sunday morning 4:45 am wondering whether we should go ahead with the filming.But the idea of not doing it and canning it never struck either three of us and the only thought was of modifying the story line since it was one person short.But we went ahead with it,this could be the last project we ever do together for a long time and Im happy now that we've wrapped up the final shot.A lenghty spell of shooting without permission at many places,under the sun (thank god it didnt rain) and gruelling hours of takes and re takes we've finally realised the dream of a music video on the song by the band Kaavish titled Bachpan.Our video is not based on our child hood but our teenage cos if you reminisce youre teenage once you re settled out in life it is the real 'bachpan' cos those were the best days of or lives!!'
And the friendship that has been potrayed is based on jai-veeru,amar-prem from andaz apna apna,akash-sameer-sid etc and the scenes that have been shot will surely connect to everyone cos its simple and real.My director and editor unz would be on it right now at this weird time of the night,and the video shall be coming out soon ,on youtube as well as metacafe.
till then hold your breath or let it go but do watch the video

My weight gain programme

As i bid adieu to my city the final farewell Im giving her is by eating everything I can which Im not going to eat atleast for the next 9 years or more.Firstly it has to be the irani food.The berry pualo,omlettes,brun maska pav-chai,raspberry soda etc.The nan kattai biskoot,the mawa cakes etc have all been tested and tried and the famous locales have been visited.Cafe leopolds made famous now because of mr.Shantarma is a must visit.I still have to go to Soul fry casa for its beer and sea food,altho Im an eggie but still.
Irani is what Ive discovered lately and Ive fallen in love with its simplicity and deightful taste.The dishes are underpriced I feel.I mean a black forest pastry chilled with fresh cream for 20 bucks!!!Monginis is hit and man these parsi bakers compete with birdys or an international bakery outlet for that matter.20 bucks in todays world.Id gone with my best buds for a sunday morning drive and breakfast and our bill came to 309 rs! And we are hoggards man,the worlds finest.Dino moreas place sells an omlette for 150 bucks.The bread quality sucks,whilst the iranis insist on freshly baked dough.I felt i was in the ;1970s.The whole experience has made me feel that Im reborn,i was sent back to the time when life was much bettter in mumbai,less people,pollution etc.I was tears,also my friends and right now we've made town our home who cares if Ive put on like 7 kgs.
Why does todays generation insist on fast food joints like Mcdonalds or Pizza parlours??
But if you ever want to revisit the past of our city,you know the right person to call.
Man I sounded like a tour guide

Like Father Like daughter

Now this quote has been modified but it fits the bill.If you ever put on hindi music channels you will hear a cacophonic hideous voice shouting out 'main talli,talli ho gayi'.And within a second I knew whose genes she had inherited.Just one person Mr.Anu Malik the greatest of the train singers(dont read trained i meant local train) to make it to bollywood.Now saint pious Anu might have lifted some tunes from here and there which is creative old chap,but he shouldnt be forgiven for his vocals which sounds like they need greasing all the time.I mean frogs and toads could have sung "oonchi hai building","ek garam chaai ki pyaali" or why did you break my heart.And now its the time for his daughter in an even worst avtar.The latest of the softwares that are used in the music industry failed to camouflage a horrible set of vocals that has some how caught the stupid fuckin youth of this nation in a frenzy.Ok fine this a party song but hey why dont you sing it it could sound better.Just because she is the daughter of the music director means a talented singer slogging out their asses on those stupid shows miss a chance.Just because of her father shes got a break.Here both of them are useless singers beacause Mr.MALIK felt like singing his own version of talli and i swear on this very keyboard im typing it is the worst the worst Ive ever heard.
So if you like this song,Dude think again pls.

MP3 Part 2

In my earlier post Mp3 I described the most amazing feeling that I was feeling but I forgot to mention how it all began. It all began with this stupid dream and it came about very unnaturally that I was holding her hand and we were running away,I dunno where.There is the this stupid cousin of hers who Id seen in Ccd recently so from that experience may be I saw her face and I made the expression of na na na nana.I knew she wasnt fond of me.Then I dont know we were going somewhere I dont know where.So from the morning all that I could think was her and only her.Even after having dal baati for the first time soaked in pure ghee which made me kinda high all I could think of was her. So that really made me go out and message her despite vowing to myself Ill only message her once I reach Guildford.But alas!where do I ever keep promises that I make to me...If that was the case I would have been 20 kgs lighter...

Rock on!!


Finally a flick that hits the chords with me and my guys including bro bot. With a metal laden hindi rock soundtrack and inspiring promos Farhan has hit the bulls eye yet again. It all started with our movie Dil chahta hai.It changed our lives and then there was lakshya potraying the confused youth with an awesome soundtrack. And after the grim disappointement of Srk's don He's back with him in the lead in a flick that is sure to set us screaming in the wild. already head banging to its songs and lyrics this movie is our dream movie. It shows how living the dream is such an amazing feeling and when it bursts how we realise that we are just ordinary people who are destined to become spokes in the wheel called society. But whether life gives me and my gang a second chance we have to wait and see. There a lot of dreamings ranging to football to music to starting a jiont business ,to parties and travelling but one things sure- zindagi milegi na dobara. so we have to rock this birth..till then kudos farhan for making such a movie in typecast bollywood

MP3

A cheesy caption for this post.But what can I do?At this point I can think of no one but her and as per AJ goofy style I sent her a stupid forwarded message to which she would be thinking something like what wrong with this dude.Well there aint anything wrong but you know all of a sudden the only thought I have is her.Ie mera pehla pehla pyaar(mp3).Cant disclose her name although no one really reads my blog but still people love to embarass me in front of others so cant tell.Anyways ive had infatuations galore and I wouldnt call her my true and only love but ya she was or is my first love and nothing can change that fact.During school I was such a fuckin wuss,a geekozoid,a nerdynymph or a pussy all the obscene adjectives I can think of.But in short I wasnt even a man,I was just an immature girl.Today I am so disgusted with the old myself I can really shoot him if I meet him.Cos that is the only reason why things didnt work out between us and she started dating ape man.Dont get me wrong in between there are some memories,beautiful and precious I still cling on to but sadly we've moved along in different directions and now crossed the point of no return. She is kinda selfish(Im trying to please myself) but those days were like the episodes of wonder years without a wonderful ending and that happened only because of me. She is by far the prettiest girl Ive known my life and even today i mumble in front of her. Do I still love her?Of course not. I try to please myself by saying that you know if things would have worked out you would have been stuck. But at this point of time it really doesnt matter, because I wish at this time had I been a little more of me as of today the eternal dream of the first love would have been a reality and not a dream. And she gave me so many chances to redeem my lost or missing manhood and as usual i screwed up big time. Atleast Im over the depression that marred me throught my std 12th. A little tact was all I needed man. And today as much as I try to convince her wouldnt work,obviously its been so long and tiring and if I were her I would have as told before shot myself.
I really dont know why i wrote this.
