Punjab

Am starting this post with a incident that happened to me in FR...
(Caution this post contains spoiler about jannat)I was supposed to meet a friend of mine at mc donalds after he finished watching jannat...i called him up just to know how much time was left before the movie finished....
Having no idea wat the movie was all abt,just to have fun ,I casually told him that Emran Hashmi would die in the end(You know how it feels when other person is expecting something to happen and then it doesn't...)..
Well after the movie finished we met and he told me that half the crowd(don't know whether he was exaggerating or not)was waiting to get their hands on me.....
wait! what happened ?
well it came out that he did died in the end of the movie and my comment travelled quite a lot in the theatre..........


Lately I went on a trip to ludhiana and Bhatinda(ya the same place people just refer in movies to create a comedy scene).
The climate being on a bit cloudy side and the roads being really good it was a pleasure to visit both the places....
check out the roads

Ludhiana

well don't know how many of you have visited the place ,but lately it has become quite good with loads of mall already opened(4 to be precise) and few under construction.
rest the place is little congested being a highly populated and old city....

As for bhatinda well this place is really old and not an ideal place a guy would like to visit without any reason.....
There are no malls in the place though few are under construction...
The best hangout place is pizzano which itself is a much degraded version of ovenfresh..
From the time i remember i have never seen the city fully constructed ie you will always find
a road plundered up to lay some pipe under or things like that..
One of the things that used to attract me earlier was the easy availability of the "movies for rent"...but after me getting an unlimited Internet plan even that has become a passe..
well the best things abt the old cities is that you get to eat the food to its full glory..
The best being the jalebes....they are simply unadulterated and amazing....





On our way back home we visited a temple on my mothers wish....
placed in patiala the kali mata mandir is a huge temple with loads of people visiting it everyday...
Well me not much of a religious person found many things humorous...
First one being ,,well all you must have seen an ipl match ...remember the hoardings or advertisement  on ground and boards...
well the same was with the temple...

the pillars supporting the roof had name of the people who donated money, but the best ones being:-
1:)
abc,
veterinary doctor,
123 patiala....
2:) 
the main place had a split ac in it...
well not much of a big deal...but the best part is that even that had a big hoarding below it :donated by so and so...
Actually these thing are not funny but pathetic...


On our way back the view was really good....
there were lots of paddy field in the way
ie sown rice seeds left under lots of water.....
well a bus went of the track...




overall it was a nice vacation..........

 

Iron Man

Saw iron man today..Since the rip isn't out on torrents ,so decided to watch it at fun republic.......Well the experience was amazing ....I highly recommend to watch it in theatres with good sound quality only.........Stunning movie..... The movie got loads of action,comedy blah blah well you must have heard it all already...... This movie made to the imdb top 250 with rating of 8.3/10 (42,778 votes) ,its at 135 position..... Well the most amazing thing is tat it became the second most searched item on torrents only to be left behind by the mighty aXXo....One guy whom every torrent downloader knows....... Well after the movie,since the weather was really good so decided to go for a wild ride to the dt cinemas which opened recently in IT park Chandigarh...The road is simply amazing and a dream to drive on......I RECOMMEND YOU TO GO THERE AND BURN SOME ASPHALT.....

 
As for the mall, its good ....There is  this really big and huge(i mean it) building of infosys in front of it which makes it look really small...Only few shops have opened right now, which includes mostly the clothing ones........
Its good to give it a visit once but i will prefer to wait till other shops open....

For you, a thousand times over

Recently read a book by Khaled hossseini "The kite runner", the author was also acclaimed for his book "A thousand splendid suns" in 2007 ....Anyhow as i finished the book, my friend told me they even had a movie on it....as i really liked the book , downloading and watching the movie was inevitable specially after my entrance exams have finished....
The book is excellently written with each thought and dialogue expressed with great precision....
its about a young boy living and growing up in Kabul,Afghanistan with a friend cum servant who has been with him from his birth , but certain incidences change their lives and the way they look at it, and one of them leave as the Russians attack the place .....Mostly fiction but few facts are included.....
As for the movie



The music was really good, giving it an Afghani touch to it....
Most of the dialogues are in Farsi(subtitles provided).....
But wait the movie is not in coordination with the book......the scenes are not timed well....
When you read the book you can almost feel the character,read his thoughts(literally, as they are written by the writer. ..and in balloons in comics..duh)...but in the movie the expressions are a total led down...
though the movie got a whooping 7.9(8,637 votes) on imdb , but still felt something was missing...
i guess tats the price you have to pay for making a 320 pages book into a 2 hour movie....
Again, the same kind of scenario is seen in Harry Potter as the pages keep on increasing..
but the good thing is tat after the 5 th movie "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" ,
the directors have decided to make the 6th one in 2 parts with the 2nd part being released after a span of abt 2 months after the first.....
guess this time they wont be deleting almost every other details.......
