Saw Rajniti finally, on Saturday night with two other ppl who had been spared the torture yet, and were eager to undergo some penance for their sins...

here are a few observations in the movie -

1. Either the guys were super-fertile...or the gals were from Species (remember? - "i can feel life") - do it one time, and they're preggy. :-|

2. If so many lives were taken in each election, i vouch for more elections...monthly elections even....population control method :D

3. All d guys were trying to kiss Ranbir Kapoor...seriously....the display of macho lowe was too much....but only his Dad managed to do so, @ d Airport...and then died. :-|

4. Nana Patekar must've paid a helluva amount in the production....he's not holding any post...he's simply an advisor...still everywhere, he is seen sitting on a chair higher than everyone else....wtf was he doing?? :P

5. Ajay Devgan was having either the loosies or piles while shooting for his first kabaddi scene....i mean...he was walking WIERDLY. and walking...not running or jumping.... :O u have to see it to understand what i m saying... :P

6. Ranbir Kapoor has consistently lost weight through the movie... :O

7. Kat's character is d stupidest in the movie..(mind you, also d hottest nevertheless)...and i simply can't fathom being a football, jo kick maare, us direction me chali gayi...way to go, for a Chief Minister i'd say :-|

8. WHY did they kill d hot firang chick? :( dayyam :(

9. When the car blasts apart, killing Arjun Rampal and Sarah Thompson, the whole bloody Merc is in chars, but the bodies of Arjun and Sarah are intact....save for a few burn marks... :O

10. Arjun Rampal can ACT. kudos to his performance.... :)

well, that and a few other things...but this is enough for now...

NjoY LyF people! :D

what happens when the moon changes a phase?
it might be a full moon or new moon..

so,today's topic is a bit eerie...and interesting....lunacy...
came to me, cuz today is a full moon...and was witness to a really wierd incident...

so,  what exactly is lunacy?

the state where the mind is affected by the cycles of the moon...or simply people that are affected by the moon.

some instances of lunacy can be seen on the roads...yes, Road Rage increases during these phases...people who normally drive carefully, will start driving like maniacs in off road rallies (though one could argue that Indian roads ARE somewhat like participating in a cross-country, given their condition :P )
also, there will be people who get splitting , inexplicable headaches during full / new moon..

so, what is this phenomena actually?

some say that it is a psychological thing, where we have been told for years that the lunar cycles have an effect on humans..and their behaviour...and hence we sub-consciously, tend to make the same mistakes...tend to act wierdly...or simply conk off in some extreme cases.... ;)
i mean, i have really seen people act wierdly...and that's not just a few scattered incidents...but consistently...

i wasn't a beleiver in this , until my grandpa, a renowned homeopathic Doctor, gave me some medicines to be taken "just before you sleep, for three days after the full moon"
now, before u jump to conclusions, the medicines were not given as a cure for my "pj"s or any of d idioticities i keep indulging in... ;) :P

i was intrigued, and asked for an explanation...
according to him, just like the gravitational pull of the moon causes tides, apparently our "lighter" bodies during a full moon, tend to respond to medication faster and better during the full moon...

but hey, isn't it just the reflection of sun rays from the moon surface that causes the lunar phases?

well, the "white light " emanating from the lunar surface, has some sort of healing effect on human bodies....just like in some cases of vitamin deficiencies, people are told to soak in the early morning sun... ( can't remember which vitamin for the life of me :P )
and i was like...."hmmmmm"...for over an hour... :P

and then , there are those who don't beleive in this "crap"...

but then , i'd say...believe people....BELIEVE!

cuz...after all...aren't a lot of our lives based on faith?

~ dell inspiron mini 10 ~

having ordered d latesht dell net-book...i am again confronted by red tapism and procedural anomalies :(

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

after a long bout of deliberations with dad, and discussions with mom, i finally convinced them that it was high time i replaced the 8 year old, aged, desktop and laptop combo....alongwith the wires attached to the set that gives mom nightmares.... literally....followed by my own myriad investigations and researches....(the former took all of 4 minutes, 30 seconds.....the latter though, took me at least 3 weeks!!)...i decided upon the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 1012 net-book.

now, while my dear friend in d US was trying to convince me not to spend more than 15k on a net-book, as it -

1.does not have a disk drive ; 

2. has limited functionality ; 

3. has a very small and low-res screen ; 

4. etc etc :P

i had my own answers....

1.disk drive? who uses those on laptops these days? i know i don't. :P

2. limited functionality - welcome to 2 gig RAM, 1.8 Mhz processor, 320 gig HD. toss in a graphics processor, HD screen and HDMI. doubts anyone?

3. actually i answered that in no.2 already...but wat d heck....HD screen...1366 x 768 DPI....again....any questions? :P

4. wo tere paas hi rehne de techno babble :P

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and then, i made the biggest mistake of my life...(ok of the year....month....err...week?? seriously....difficult to keep track of mistakes :P )... here's what happened - 

me : dad, m going to order the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 1012 net-book.

dad : are you sure it's the right one? have you looked through the market? how much is it going to cost? is Dell a reliable company? how many years do you forecast this new computer will last? .... O.o.....o.O....X(...:-SS...:-o etc etc.

me : yes to all the above dad! *bright beaming face trying to hide all d anger+irritation* (thinking that i should suggest dad join crime investigation....wait...would that get my net book faster to me? :P )

dad : ok fine. i will ask our dealer and see if it's available.

me : errr...actually , i got enough savings...i wanna buy it on my own.

dad : your younger generation doesnt know the value of savings....how much money do you have? *calls up investment advisor* haan...Mr.Investment Advisor....we have to invest *to me - kitne paise hai?* yeah....some 20 thousand in XYZ investments...

me : dino crap. t-rex crap even. (in my mind of course)

dad : yes, now that that's settled, i will tell our supplier to get that comp.

damn! damn! damn!

Why did i not just go and buy the net-book? :(

WHY! WHY! oh WHY!! :(

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

after 2 weeks of "discussions" with his supplier that would give us a "discount" on the purchase....

dad :  we're getting the net-book at Rs. 21780!! ha! and you were getting it for Rs.22300! see how i save!

me : err....dad....does that include delivery charges?

dad : *war dialling supplier* eh! who'll tell me bout d delivery charges? you suppliers are one lot of thieves!! *etc...etc....*

me: *glee full look* so, i should order it online finally?

dad : yes.. yes... go ahead.

me : *trying real hard to not start laughing.... or dancing for that matter...* well....i had told you dad...anyway...i will bear with the delay now....by the way can i order a bluetooth mouse alongwith it?

dad : whatever you feel right.

me : victory!!!! :P

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 week later - 

status on dell website - order received ==> manufacturing build complete

ETA - one week from now.

me : @#$@$@#$@%#%^ corporate procedures. if i had had it assembled by my local supplier it would've come in 3 days! oh wait....dad DID suggest that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AND life craps right back in your face.. :-|

!!!beautiful clouds!!!

clouds come-a-calling...
lightening and thunder rolling...

now comes the heavy rain...
to take away all of summer's pain...

with joy the heart leaps and happily dances...
towards the sky, on each step, the mind gleefully glances...

birds suddenly get into a frenzied hurry...to clear the branches of their homes...
a young fowl...confused with all the sudden flurry...alone on the streets roams...

crash! boom!! the clouds bring down their weight..
the raindrops dance and splash...in a heavenly gait..

youngsters laugh , dance and enjoy...
the grey haired simply smile...and sigh...

and there, in the midst of all this...
your humble aquaguy finds bliss...!!

:D

Phaltu / Pakau / Poor Poem :D

promoting myself from my self-anointed position of PJ king to PP king, i shall start writing Phaltu Poems hitherto... :D

inspired by my shishya's comment on the last phaltu poem of mine...
i started a wierd and exciting new poem line...

for the last two days i was down with fever...
my friend's charity extended to donating a kidney and a liver!!

i searched for a good medication in every corner, cranny and nook...
cafe world is my new addiction on facebook!!

i went to mocha today evening...
the newest search engine by Microsoft is Bing!!

there i troubled a friend by talking in a monotonous tone...
believe me people....don't buy the iPhone!!!

from tomorrow starts another work week...
the Hyundai i20 is classy and sleek!!

let's hope i come out of this hectic week alive...
every year, around 400 pounds of honey are made in a bee hive!!!

:P

p.s. : don't kill me....or desert my blog....pretty please? *pray*

:P

NjoY LyF bloggers! :D

...iPhone...to be or not to be...

Let's start from the very beginning....

i was introduced to the concept of Apple around the beginning of this decade...yes, i did not know Mac et all...

i had seen an apple store somewhere near Pune Station...and was totally impressed with the glam look...the beautiful products....and was wondering....what makes them special??

10 years down, after endless reviews being read, technical magazines surveyed, all online crap read....and i m still asking the same question. :-|

i mean....wtf is wrong with so many people?????? :O

and sadly, one of my close friends is such a person....he's what i like to call an "apple-shaker"....no, he doesn't groove to apple's iTunes (R).....rather, apple makes him shake...and break....

yeah break....cuz d poor guy is So torn right now, that i simply can't express enough sympathy....and simply cannot fathom what it would take to empathize with him... ;)

well, it all started with d iPhone....a phone, multimedia device, and an ipod, all together!! woo-hoo!

suck my grandma's dog's @$$ idiots. :-|

this, when we already had awesome products in the market...Sony Ericsson were already hitting it big time with their walkman phones, and nokia (the mass seller in India), was almost warming up to consumer needs, and believe it or not, changing according to it!!

so what made the iPhone a game-changer then? the touch screen.

and of course, in my personal opinion, touch screens are a bag o dino crap. i mean...nothin does it like physical keys....i prefer something like this >>

cuz...well...that's what i can afford for now :P

anyway, back to the topic on hand...

then came other touch screen phones, loads of music phones, and of course, the mobile phone camera wars...what, with some companies even going to the extent of 12 mp cameras...i mean....really? :O

but recently, when the iPhone finally, officially came to India, it came at a time, when the iPhone 3gs was already launched in the Americas...which reminds me of a funny incident...

we were at a party, where one of my friends introduced her amriki fiance-to-be to us...and suddenly the lights went off...i promptly took out my phone, and switched on the torch at the back...and d amriki dude was like....which phone is that? we dont get such phones in d US...only d stupid iPhones are good enough...!!

and i was lol'ing...and roflmao'ing....of course, all in my mind... :P

anyway, so there...i got evidence from an iPhone user, that they are only using them for lack of better options...

but i m sure this guy was totally misinformed....and ignorant....cuz there ARE a ZILLION other options!!!

and here i wanna publish my current favorite image >>

see the android tattoo? :D

oh crap.....not dis one....who put d pic of d GF in me comp :-|

i actually meant this one >>

oh yeah!!!

since the beginning, Google has impressed me...and always given us more and more innovations...(although i wouldn't say that about Google Maps ...cuz according to it, u are required to swim across the atlantic for going to Paris from the US East Coast :P )

but believe me, the Android system is.....ah...i won't go into that...that will be a separate post...right now we are on apple-shakin' ;)

so, yeah...once the iPhone 3gs DID come to India, within a month, Mr.Jobbs decided to launch iPhone 4. :-|

and now my friend is again caught in the age long debate....to buy or not to buy.. :-|

well,i'd say, go out, buy the latest android phone, cuz as it is, android phones are providing better facilities, ugrades, and with the given variety of manufacturers using this platform, we are sure, you will find the one that suits you...

but still some fools will line up for the iPhone...

and the question comes back to me....what makes the phones special??

and i conclude...the people who buy them are special...they need our love and support...and care...

cuz u gotta be really demented to buy an apple product people!!!

are you reading this???

DON'T BUY iPHONES...they suck!

*whew*

now that that's outta my system...i shall go and buy a nice new android....or at least ogle at one... ;)

and here's some oglin' stuff for ya'll mortals to worship>>

HTC Centurion (a work in progress....hopefully should hit markets by Q4)

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

HTC Hero

Motocalgary Android

Blackberry Bold (Not an android...but BB....it's a class apart...)

of course, none of these other than the Xperia have been launched in India...but neither has the iPhone 4gs...so who's complaining? we ALL are. :-|

till next time...

a few lyrics.....

_____________________________________________________

Fireflies >>

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare




I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep






Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep


To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep


I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams................

Dear Vienna >>

Dear Vienna
I regarded the world as such a sad sight
Until I viewed it in Black & White
And I reviewed every frame in basic shape
And sealed the exits with caution tape
(Dear Vienna)
Don’t refocus your eyes in the darkness
And don’t remember this place unless
I describe all the things that you cannot see
And we’ll unravel the mystery

Farewell
All my friends
In Textbooks
I’m going home
Cause my blood cells cannot depend on the weather in photographs
There’s a light show, out my window
Somewhere, way up there
Dear Vienna (Dear Vienna) are you singing
Dear Vienna are you swinging
Dear Vienna (Dear Vienna) We were happy like the shades of May
When we got carried away


Dear Vienna
I regarded the world as such a sad sight
Until I viewed it in Black & White
And I reviewed every frame in basic shape
And sealed the exits with caution tape
Dear Vienna
Don’t refocus your eyes in the darkness

And don’t remember this place unless
I describe all the things that you cannot see
And we'll unravel the mystery

Dear Vienna
I was so far out of place
Watching those stars in outer space
Cause I am so far from where you are

There’s a light show, out my window(out my window)
Somewhere, way up there (way up there)

Dear Vienna (Dear Vienna) are you singing (are you singing)
Dear Vienna (Dear Vienna) are you swinging
Dear Vienna (Dear Vienna) We were happy like the shades of May
When we got carried away........
