Doodles of a crazy man!

There are two reasons why this movie might run away with the worst movie of the year - one, obviously its horrendous and two, its terribly long. During all the Hurman - Priyanka interactions, I was initially shocked by the amount of screen time Hurman's face was getting. Soon I realized that its because the camera was always behind Priyanka's almost bare back. I was half expecting Joe Pesci to pop up from somewhere and yell - "Wanna know my raashee? I dont know, you should #&*$ing know. Tell me smart guy, whats your raashee? Whats your #&*$ing raashee? What the #&*$ is your #&*$ing raashee?" or something on those lines. The greatest achievement is this movie proved that Bollywood can come up with 12 different names for a girl - yes, who was that idiot who said there are no names other than Pooja, Sanjana, Tina, Simran and Anjali. 2-5-1-6-3-4 <-- Tarantino         1-11-3-7-4-5-8-6-12-2-9-10 <-- Gowarikar You must be thinkin...

Late December 2007, one saturday evening. Post-kanyaaveekshane talking round. "I heard that you blog", was the very first thing she told me. "Yes, how did you know?" (Have I become so big in blogosphere? - I had wondered) "Uncle told me." "Oh, is it?" (Half blushing and half expecting to hear that I have a great sense of humor :D) Nothing so filmy happened. But then we started talking about blogs, we figured out that half of the blogs that I follow are her offline friends. So much for the global village and the spherical world. After that I asked, "What are your hobbies?" "Reading and writing" (What! Writing??? Not blogging, but writing! That sounded like an actual writer, and not like someone who woke up one day in 2005 and started blogging - aka me) "Hmm, you have a blog?" "No" (Another analogy I can think of is - photographers vs Digicam-owners :) ) If my memory serves me right, I had suggested to her th...
