F*R*I*E*N*D*S

Day before yesterday was The Day for Friends and their Friendship. Kudos! To all my friends out there. Happy Friendship’s Day and week.
I just sat down with a paper and a pen to post something about friendship and a relating movie in my blog. Thoughts came flushing into my head giving ideas of what to add and what to write, but I was confused where to start and how to start. So I went down to the memories of friendship of schooling, Jr College and Sr College days.
In my school days if not for my friends, wouldn’t I be all alone to do all those childish masti in the class which would get us out and make us stand outside the door punished? Or wouldn’t I be the only one standing in front of the Principle, who is shouting for our mistakes, giving a hushed giggle? (gosh we were so shameless). Or wouldn’t I be the only one completing the notes in the last minute of submission? These moments are embarrassing and stressful during school days but it was lot of fun and simple due to my friends. Now at present I laugh at those incidents when I remember it.
After schooling, I joined junior college. It was a new atmosphere and I met more friends. More friends mean more fun. If I had not made friends and I hadn’t a group, wouldn’t I miss all those love triangles or love complications within the group? ‘Oh! I like this guy, but he likes sum other girl and is not sure if she likes him or not?!’ (Oh man ‘Infatuation’. LoL) Wouldn’t I miss all those teasing ‘a boy’ and ‘a girl’ stuff for fun? Would it be so much fun to break all those disciplines and rules of Jr. College? (I still remember the dress code given to the students, no jeans, but we would break it in one way or the other). Would I get to laugh on those stupid pjs cracked by my stupid friends?
The most enjoying part of my road of friendship was my sr college days. Yet another place, different atmosphere and many more friends added to my list. If not for those friends would that girl’s night stay be that crazy with all maar dala stuffs done? (Right girls?) Wouldn’t I be standing alone in the campus scanning for hot/ cute/ smart boys? Would that eating dabbas and playing crazy legs/ current-current which led to awkward position be fun? Would I get to dance like one crazy girl during jam sessions and Dj nights? Would I get down at every station to click photos with the train and the station and board the train after it started. Wouldn’t that journey be tiring?
Spare me with all those wouldn’t and woulds mentioned above all those were important to mention because I want to thank all my friends who are associated with it. Now that this blog belongs to movies let me get to that part. The only movie which comes to my mind is DCH… You were thinking of the same movie, weren’t you?


Movie: Dil Chahata Hai
Starring: Amir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Khanna, Preity Zinta
Director: Farhan Aktar.


This movie is all about true friendship between three guys who are totally opposite from each other nature wise. “Ya toh yeh dosti gehri hai, ya yeh photo 3D hai.” As said by Sameer (Saif Ali Khan) in the movie. This is a movie that no youngster or a teenage kid would mind watching a hundred times. So I don’t have to go in much detail about it. Well I don’t know how many of you readers will agree with me but after watching this movie I feel a strong urge to grab my friends and just start off a journey to go to Goa. It’s not just because the movie shows Goa as one of the most beautiful places in its scene (which undoubtedly it is), but because of those three friends having fun on the trip and all the fun stuff they did together there. Well I know at this stage me and any of my friends can’t afford to do that, but still I have a desire that someday there will be a plan being made… let’s see. But this movie is a delight to watch. One of my favorite movies. I simply love it. This time would be my 84th time to watch this movie. 1st four times were in the theater, rest DVD.
Aakash: You know what? Hume har saal ek hufte ke liye toh Goa aana cahiye.
Sameer: Definitely! Kyun sid? Kya soch raha hai?
Sid: Dekh raha hoon who jahaz ko jo thodi der baad dikhai nahi degi. Jante ho hum us jahaz jaise hai. Aaj nahi toh kal apni manzil ko dhundte nikal jayenge. Aur ho sakta hai apni manzile alag alag ho. Kabhi soacha hai! Har saal Goa aana toh ek taraf dus saal mein ek baar milna mushkil hai.
Aakash: Aisa kuch nahi hoga sid, hum dost the, dost hai, aur rahenge. Humaesha.

Best scene and best dialogue in the movie. It touches my heart deep within. Well I can only give praises to this movie because as I said before I simply LOVE it. I dedicate it to all my friends who have made my school life, Jr. College and Sr. college life a smooth and fun journey. I Have a thought guys… let’s catch up and watch this movie together. What say? Even the other readers- watch it with your friends.

Keep in touch……and will be Friends Forever. Chiao.

'Sorry non-commercial'



Days: 2 Movies: 2

Movie: Thanks Maa
Starring: Child actor Fayaaz
Director: Irfan Kamal

Bollywood is so into commercial movies that it totally ignores non-commercial movies resulting the outcome where people do not notice the non-commercial types. Due to high publicity the commercial Films earn more in the opening show even it is not worth it; But a non-commercial films which is way better than the commercial films earn less in comparison. This is the case with the movie Thanks Maa too. By now it is clear that it is a non-commercial movie. It ran only a week or 2 in the multiplexes in Mumbai. According to me this particular movie is worth a lot. It talks about the topic 'Child Abandonment'. These kind of cases are found highly in the country like India. It is about a 12 year old Mumbai street kid who finds a 2 month old baby being abandoned by a women. To not let the baby have the fate that he had. He starts a journey to find the mother of that baby just to discover disturbing truths. The One thing truly noticeable is that every little stories of crime which appears in the 2nd and 3rd page of newspaper and disappears from readers mind eventually is considered and projected. You actually stop and think 'Yes these crimes should be stopped'. The language that Mumbai street kids pick up is used in dialogues boldly. This is a type of movie which shakes u up 4m inside with its closeness to reality. So guys even if u haven't heard of this movie or knew it but have missed it make it a point to watch it without fail.

P.S Promote non-commercial movies

Mouth Watering Movie


Days: 1 Movies: 1


Starring: Meryl Streep as Julia Child

Amy Adams as Julie Powell

Directed By: Nora Ephron


Julie & julia is a book written by Julie Powell which is made into a movie. I havent reaad the book but for me the movie works wonders. It is about the life of two women as said before. They are in different era but both have a common thing in- Love for cooking. The movie talks about obsession. Julia obsessed by cooking and Julie obsessed by Julia. Julia in 1949 is finding a way to publish her recepie. With all the hardship the book gets published named as 'Mastering the Art of French cooking' and is a great success. Now in 2002 Julie sets a task for herself which is cooking all 524 recepies in Julia Child's book in 365 days and posting the experience in the blog, determind to complete it she risks her marriage n her work but is one famous women One thing you find the most in the movie is verity of dishes. So I have tagged the movie as 'mouth watering movie'. It has two eras in it 1949 and 2002. Difference can be made out in the scene which shows the features of the respective year. In the art of direction, in the make of artists etc every thing is perfectly done according to the requirements of that year. On the mention of artist both Meryl and Amy have done a good piece of acting. So guys go watch the movie it will definitely hold your interest.


P.S Bon Appetit

Very 1st Post

A graduate. Passionate to work in a print media or any media field, but have been failed to achieve a job. So for now these days after I have been graduated it has been four months and I do nothing sitting at home. Literally nothing. Well other than helping mom in household work which I am not much passionate about. Sort of starting to feel frustrted to just sit inside the four walls and nothing much to do, no goal, just get up evry single day and do the same basic activity ____ Eat, Drink nd Sleep.
But all of a sudden something clicked my mind, for me to get a task to do in the - The idle day. I am a movie freak and w
atch a lot of movies. if you would beleive, my 500 GB hard disk of my PC has 350 GB is filled with movies and have an external hard disk of 150 GB full of movies. Might be not a big deal but that is the thing that saves me in these complete useless days of mine. To add two things:- 1] I get greatly influenced by movies and 2] every movie has a great impact on me. Oops same right LOL. So in these collection of movies I came across a movie named Julie & Julia. It is about two women saperated by time, but have or find same interest in cooking. One to kill free time and another to have a goal in life which she would complete the task which she has set up for herself. Now I am the third women [well i had to relate in writing, I am still a girl tough :p] for now who has both characters in me. Wanting to kill time and a person who doesnot reach end whatever task she takes up.
So i have set up a task for myself to do. In this space of internet I will give a count of how many movies I have watched inhow many number of days. Plus how the movie is for people who are out there who are movie freaks like me or who would want to watch a movie in their free time and can not decide which one to watch.
Now as this concept occurred to me after watching Julie & Julia, so I would start with it. N u guys are free to comment on my post of what u think about the movie or any thing for that matter.....
