ar rahman at grammys

If you’ve been singing Jai Ho all this time especially after AR Rahman smiled his way to glory at the Grammys this year, ask yourself if the so called brilliant music composer really deserves it? In case you answered ‘oh yeah’ to yourself then you need to stop reading any further. Carry on in case you’re not one of those satisfied ones or Rahman-oholics.

Think for a moment. Slumdog Millionaire happened and Rahman has been put on the global scale where he’s being awarded Oscars, Golden Globes and now even Grammys. These people are going along with the wave. Had they heard Rahman’s previous work, they would have slapped Rahman right on the bottom. AR Rahman has won two Grammys this year for his Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack and the Jai Ho single. Certainly nothing Jai Ho about both of these.

ajab prem ki ghazab kahaani reviewFriday is one of the best days at college. The classes get over quickly so you can spend the rest of the day catching up on your dreams at home or you can hang out with your friends. This friday as Samarth says, ‘It was your funeral. You chose it.’ Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif’s not so anticipated flick Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (I need to a deep breath while naming the flick) released this friday. I was more impressed with the Rajkumar Santoshi tag while a lot of girls were interested in the hair weaving chocolate hero Ranbir Kapoor (yes it’s true). My first mistake. So the entire campus is set loose by some insane time-table setting authority. Faridabad is flooded with bags-and-handbags-carrying crowd with a desperate look on their faces as they battle it out at the box office to get tickets. Cell phones became life savers as groups split to different multiplexes hoping to catch the latest show. If only the youth of the nation worked this hard the other way around. So we also decided to opt for a Faridabad multiplex itself. My second mistake.

We managed to get tickets at Inox, Faridabad. It’s located at the Crown Interiorz mall. The food court there claims it’s the biggest in the entire NCR region (yeah the biggest you-know-what). They say the first fifteen minutes of a movie can make it or break it. My first fifteen minutes of the movie were spent settling down and telling my brain that I ‘am’ in a multiplex. Why? Flashback – 15 minutes ago. As the gates for the hall opened, the crowd went crazy. People were pushing everyone 360 degrees. Doesn’t make sense I agree but this is Faridabad, people will kill you for no reason whatsoever. I’ve had better experience with a second class travel in an Indian Railways train than this.

June 27, 2008

BSNL Dataone is God’s way of punishing you for your sins. I still remember how I got my broadband connection installed. It took me a week long of frequent visits, requests and clarifications. I begged them for a broadband connection! Not that I am a huge fan but they were and they still are [...]
