The guru and shishya get into the train.
Shishya : I am suprised that we are still in this train, Master.
Master : Patience Works. There is still some journey.
Shishya : Yes. But then, every dog has its day. But there are no dogs here.
Master : There is one dog.
Shishya : Yes. Wondering abt the dog. The dog has no bone, it's sad. People are moving too fast.
Master : Tuff times, eh ? Everything which has a beginning has an end.
Shishya : How will the end be ? I am confused and dazed.
Master : Ends may come and ends may go. Honesty pays.
Shishya : The honesty is that : I used to rule the world: Now, a Mango man. The man with no sh/n/g/f/ame
Master : The train is still speeding.
Shishya : The wizard weaves his hand. His legerdemain has traveled far and west.Pedro and Penelope welcome him....
Master : You look like you will explode.
Shishya : I think I was Alfred Nobel in my previous incarnation.
Master : Talk of this birth. Let us eat the ground nuts.
Shishya : Hmm ground nuts
Master : There is this elusive cone called "second chance".It is upto you to make it an ice cream cone or a pine cone.

Sherlock Holmes followed by 3 idiots
Well it was more like a witty James Bond with IQ of 150+ living on Baker street. But I quite liked the movie. If you are not a purist you will like this one. I went with an expectation that this would be similar to the TV adaptation of the Agatha Christie's Poirot. But Guy Ritchie's take on Sherlock Holmes is quite snazzy, suave and laced with humor. The background music is quite enchanting and grows on you. Wasn't surprised when the Iron man won the Globe.
Purists stick to the book.
3 Idiots.
Finally managed to catch this mega blockbuster, and it surely was entertaining (except for that song which starts "woh.. something").. very simplistic, but effective humor.. well the Chetan bhagat controversy ..hmmm .. though he is from hong kong i feel the ruckus wasn't that necessary (except if it was intended for some marketing purpose... )
i have missed some movies last year - shouldn't be repeating the mistake again...

When I hear
Turn the page from Metallica I did not know it was a cover. Bob Seger's original is more "from the heart" and soulful. But Metallica's cover is great too.
Check out Turn the Page from Bob Seger [Original] and Metallica's Cover of Turn the Page.
Both the songs have a very "desert road" feel.....

There were a lot of questions after watching AVATAR; But the following kept lingering until today
1. Wouldn't Terminator 2 in 3D IMAX be better than avatar??
2. Despite all the technology the mining team had and a multi-million work contract why didnt Jake have a sophisticated wheelchair?
3. Why couldn't the 3D frames be more comfortable and wearable?
Honestly I did not like the movie that much. Appreciate the technical masterpiece but the drama lacked punch

Surroundings
Two children gaze into the oblivion. The starer of the two children listens to 1916. See the sun rays. We are the system, we are the law. We are the cold. We are the dryness. Red spots on Mars...Everything changes , but everything is the same.
Pipes and structure charts glow in the lcd monitor. Headphones bark some old memorable songs. Mediocre intake. Fret fret fret until you are tired. Smile smile and keep it that way until the other person goes nuts figuring what's up to you. Don't try to cling to the past. Get thrown into new territories. Apply new rules to life and change the direction of the boat in the river of life. The worker leaves before the dawn. The guffaw man sits with a MS Word document open. The wizard is asleep. The crustacean loving bartender is asleep. The regular chef has shut his doors. The tiny is asleep. The self proclaimed, unsure, joker checks his attachments and smiles and types nonsense. He knows everyone is guilty but there is no one to blame. Work for a living or work for the red carpet?
One word of advice : Deal well with powerful people. Show them the finger.
