how i wish i hadnt spent money on this....


in the climax, shahrukh puts a question to the lady :"Will Rab be angry with me for loving you more than i love Him?"(how romantic!!!)

Know wot, i have the answer. "No, Rab wouldnt mind. but He'll definitely be angry with you for using His name in a silly,stupid movie like this"


i think someone should ban this one. or else the kids 'll take Raj for a role model. even worse, they mite try to understand grls thru Tani.


Yashraj mite have paid Rajiv Masand some serious cash to give it 2 stars.All said, there are some moments. Like the one scene where Suri contemplates placing a rose on the note he wrote to Tani. The best part of the movie, however ws the commentary during the end credits.Some one put that on youtube pls.


I just hope no more mothers will name their kids 'Raj'.

one regular monday at office

i guess all IT pros hate Mondays. Who'd want to forget the highs of a Sunday, tuck in an irritatingly ironed shirt and carry that smug look to office?Much like the mondays we had at school. Only that there is no homework.

Today was in no way spectacular. But it ws just plain strange in that a lotto stuff happened. First, i found the silliest way any company could ever have celebrated xmas. They (probably some HR who had organised xmas celebration in his/her school) had one of our Delivery Leads dressed up as Santa (!!wait.. theres more to come....) and all other DL's following him ringing bells and making some embarassing sound. And the Santa gave away gifts in lucky draws. There were mouse pads, monopoly games,sudoku puzzles, golf balls and other BankAm merchandise. I 'won' a BankAm hankie, which very curiously had a tag made in china. I mean would the Americans really use something made in Communist China? Definitely they wud, but why make it very obvious?

okay coming back. To say that i would wipe my ass with that hankie would be quite anti BankAm, but thats exactly how u'd feel if ppl around won golfballs, classic notepads, monopoly games, sudoku puzzles and stuff like that. Gladly MSN won a mouse pad, which is even more ridiculous.(He also said this totally gross and pathetic joke on the guy who won two golfballs.) We both had the himesh reshamiya- in-karz-look till evening. Which probably beats this whole DL-as-Santa exercise. Instead of being rejoiced and drooling at BankAm hospitality, i suppose half the ppl felt more morose than they actually were. All the guys who won mousepads and hankies took a deep breath, counted till 10 and started working.

After that, i had a very private and outdoor meeting with my mentor, who is like very supportive and brutally honest, which is something i admire. it (the meeting) was obviously on the need to focus on work, amidst all this hullaballoo.Which made me skip my usual 11/2 hrs of gym, as a gesture of loyalty. that in itself was quite generous from my part. 'Focus' hasnt improved much.

and then Cricinfo ws probably too gud today. had every line read twice or thrice, escaping glances from the managers. Whhaaat..A...Match!! How many tests have we seen where the guy who made two centuries lost the m-o-m to someone who made just 83 and took no wickets!!
Sehwag has certainly changed the rules of the game..He may never come close to the man he wanted to be like, but definitely there will be more and more boys who'll want to be like him. and Rahul Dravid is perhaps the most talented night-watchman we have evr had.

more and more ppl around me are taking to blogging. hes the latest. good luck boy!!

Recession, among other things.


this recession's really a bitch, you know. And nothing could ever have convinced me better than this piece of shit. One of my colleagues derived some gud amount of sadistic pleasure in sending this link across to almost e'one in office. And almost immedietly, we had a clarifying mail from one of our Delivery Leads, which kindof confirmed that something was after all, fishy.

Now will I feature on the ever growing Victims-of-recession-list is something we'll have to wait and see. Have time till the beginning of next fiscal probably.Which tells me this is actually a very good time to remain in college. being in a high paying job is even better, provided its gonna last.

Till some idiot wrote abt that in the papers, the only way Recession had come close to pissing me off is that SmR was kindo out of touch in the last few chats. And she blamed it on the recession, which is supposed to be on the brink of ruining her placements.


In sheer contrast with the pessimistic line of thought (which is really popular these days), i hear frm ppl is that our entire team is very highly placed in the company and the industry in terms of efficency and technology(boy!! thats NEWS!!), so thers every reason that we mite be spared.


Anyways, that article is one helluva reason to stop the regular subway footlongs and start saving. I'll soon be the communist son my dad dreamt of.
If somebody reading this doesnt know what Recession really means, I really supsect ur out of this planet. In which case, u shud be reading this, this and this.
