The Day I Smelled the N2O

Laughing, giggling, grinning I was
When I went to the dentist with a worthy cause
Plucking my tooth he was,with ease and no pain
And me chuckling, rolling, jostling again and again
Psyched up I was when I was at the dentists
It was time for me to consult a psychiatrist

I had lost a family and a tiny tooth
To a public bombing which killed my dear ones in a phone booth
Depressed I was to see the world under chaos
And also to see the humanity goin for a toss
Pain in my tooth,pain in my mind
Desperate I was for the things to rewind
So here I am at the dentist today
Today... The day I smelled the N2O

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be,
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have winced but not cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance,
My head is bloodied but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears,
Looms but the horror of the shade.
And yet the menace of the years,
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

New Year and My New Conspiracy Theory

Happy Twenty Ten.. [T&T]

New Years Eve went out well. Me and my brother went out along with a few friends. We went to one of our friends farm house. Got drunk, Didn't dance..tried my hand at Deejaying though. And it is not as easy as it turns out be. We had a fine Biriyani for dinner. Well, It turned out be a midnight snack; Along with pastries and kababs. It was a nice party.
May this year shower everyone with good stuff...loads of'em,
For the world will change in 2012.. :P

Another 1078 Days left for 21.12.2012 and its about time I bought myself a Shotgun. What if the world gets infected by some frikin' virus. I dont want to be zombie. Definitely not like the ones in the movies with blood dripping mouths and retarded walk. Heh heh..

Well, Me and K-Bro came up with our own theory about 2012.
Let me put it this way. Everything that has a beginning must have an end.
Everything that has an end... Will lead you to a new beginning.

We all know that the Mayans loved the stars and made everything around them relating to the stars and the celestial heavens...blah blah blah...bleh bleh bleh...blew blew...
And all of a sudden they disappear. Gone. No Post-Its. No traces. No nothing.
Just gone. Where did they go..?? Are they all dead..?? Or are they going to come back..??
Were they aliens..??

On 21.12.2012, As we have heard from astrophysicists. We are going to witness an astronomic phenomenon called "The Celestial Alignment". This happens once in 20000 years or so where all the planets align including the sun on the galactic equator or milky ways equator. This is a very rare event. And definitely the Mayans would love to see it. As they would witness the "Beginning". Yes, The calendar is going to end on that day. But on that day they will see the galaxies the stars the planets all together in one place. Thats what it is all about. They missed the Big-Bang. If at all there was one..:P
Atleast they are going to witness something of a similar magnitude.

That is the new beginning.
And the Mayans will return on 21.12.2012 to witness this event
All those books, videos, movies on 2012 are just made to market and make money.
Max. Theres going to be a Tidal wave. Big one.. thats it.

This is our take on 2012. Only time can tell what exactly will happen on that day.
Anywasy
21.12.2012 is a Friday. And I'm going for a movie.
Hope the cinema halls are open...:P

3 Days of a Death Anniversary and 3 Idiots

It was the 3rd Day of my Grandmothers first death ceremony on tuesday, Like all other Brahmin ceremonies it was done in a pretty orthodox manner.
Me and my Brother doing the usual job of teasing, Listening to "Expert" advices from uncle and aunts. Jeez They do give a lot of free advices
Funny thing about first death anniversaries is that they are celebrated for 3 days.
First day, Its more like a mourning session, Even the food tastes the same. Most side dishes are bitter and sour but they are definitely better than lunch at a wedding hall.
Second day, I really have no clue what they do.
The Third day, it is believed that the person deceased.. will reach the gates of heaven after a year long tedious journey. So its celebration time.. :P
Even the dishes change. Mourning food suddenly shifts to Marriage food. No more bitter and sour side dishes.
Hmmm, We are so used to alternatives arent we..?? I mean Bittergourds, Sweet Potatoes change to Pineapple and Potatoes.
Even when it comes to our constitution amendments, amendments and amendments. Anyways food was brilliant. Had fun time there

After a while we came up with the idea of watching "3 Idiots", So within no time, Me and Shortie narrowed down the plan. Even my brother wanted to watch the movie.
We bought black tickets, And the movie started..

Heres what I think about the movie.

There is no doubt that when it comes to perfection no one can match Aamir Khan. Yes.. He certainly looks like a college student and acts like one too.
Madhavan and sharman Joshi too have acted well. Boman Irani's role as a nutty irritating College Director is well suited. Reminds you of Dr.Asthana from MBBS
Kareena Kapoor's acting reminds you of Geet from "Jab We Met". But the real credit goes to the director. He's done a brilliant job of adapting the book well into a movie.
A well written screenplay. You'll find a touch of Munnabhai in a few parts.

The First half is hysterical. Right from the first scene. I wonder if Aamir was really as mischievous in his real college life as he is in this movie.
Second half is not as funny as the first half, Theres a twist in the story. Ending is bit of a drag. But.. No probs.. Bollywood movie right.. I expected it

Overall, A family entertainer. One of Raju Hirani's best after Lage Raho.
I'll give it 4/5...

Aaall Izzz Wellll...Aaall Izzz Wellll...Aaall Izzz Wellll..!!!!
