I have always admired Aamir Khan for his work…be it movie or ads or…there is always some message…
I particularly like his Titan ad…which bears the tagline, “be born everyday”…its so refreshing and inspirational…
Most of the time we spend our life reminiscing about our past or worrying about what may happen in future…the ad is tells to break free from banality of life…and live life like we have always dreamt of living…
I have always wondered what its like to work in an advertising world…where all your thoughts and creativity gets a wing to fly…kudos to the creative director of the ad...and maybe someday I’d like to create an ad like this…but wo to baad ki baat hai….first check out this ad…I find it truly inspiring…and maybe you too will
Be born everyday.
Aaj rockstar kal pilot and,
who knows what the day after.
Kabhi kissi anjaan station per uttar ke dekho,
Kachi kissi gumnaam shehr ka ticket katao.
Doosro ki galtiyon se kiya seekhna,
Make your own mistakes yaar..
And never resemble your passport photo for almost three months,
Har subha shock your reflection.
Explore, Bachman mei tou kya kuch nahin banna chahtay thay,
Why not today?
Be born everyday!!
(Titan, Be more..)
MILLION DOLLAR BABY
Just watched Million Dollar Baby…n I was simply blown away by the performances of Hilary Swank and Clint Eastwood, who also happens to be director, producer and music composer of the movie…certainly the man with exceptional talent of bringing out characters to life…
But what captured me the most was the simplicity and the honesty with which the story was told…simple people, simple lives n the struggle with fates…it all seemed so realistic that anybody could connect with the movie…even though what happened at the climax of the movie was pretty unpredictable…every time I kept wondering that Hilary Swank would walk or some miracle will happen…but it didn’t…which in fact made the movie even more closer to reality..
this was the first time I watched Hilary Swank acting…it was a pure treat…she was awesome..
Clint Eastwood, a veteran in Hollywood movies…proves why he is the best…his direction, his composition, narration by Morgan Freeman (which reminds me of shawshank redemption) nothing seems outta place…
Winner of four academy awards…the movie is certainly a must watch

DECEMBER LOVE
The chilling cold of Delhi is here again…yes, its time for warm blankets, hot coffees, bonfire, sweaters n pullovers…as the mercury dips again…most of the people would complain…
But for me it’s the best time of the year…perhaps I connect to this season in my own way…
Winter season has always been the season of love for me…specially the month of December…for every time I see a leftover mug of coffee…every time I find myself lost in fog….everytime the chillness of wind shivers my spine…it transports me back to the time when nothing else mattered but the warmth of the love…kinda déjà vu..
If I clear the mist over my memories I could remember that it was way back in 2003 December (class VIIth)…when the love bug infected me for the first time…I still remember the cold morning of that December…when she stood before me for the first time…It was the most innocent cum beautiful face I had ever seen (gosh!! I was so stupid then)…the boy who neva got time to look up from his physics and chemistry book…felt something…something strange in his heart…perhaps it was for the first time in his life….n it felt fuckingly awesome…but winter season has its own side effects…n things didn’t work out…n my first December love ended without a beginning…I didn’t know then that there was more to come…
Now, its 2006… yes, three years since my first major heartbreak…(not to mention its December again)…it was class 11th n as usual I always found myself surrounded by four inch thick physics, chemistry n maths book…as u would have guessed life wasn’t fun then…now, I dunno how it happened n why it happened…but this time it certainly changed the whole of me…
I knew this gal for about three years ,though we seldom talked…but I neva thought that I’ll fall down for her…it was not the usual first sight love…nor the sudden breakout of emotions but a gradual development of feelings which went on to becum so intense that by the time it ended…it was too late to amend anything…that perhaps was the most fucked up part of my life…I took some bizarre decisions (like quitting engineering to study in delhi university, going against my parents wish ect. Ect.) …n even this time the things didn’t work out to be the way I wanted them to be…so even this December love ended miserably…
(P.S- this was the most painful one)
This time the year is 2008…my first year at Delhi…n just before the first season of “lets get screwed up” began….again it’s the same heartless December winter…this time I regret n I still wish that it didn’t happen…I broke many hearts…but is December ke mahine ko kaun samjhae…I fell down again…screwed my 1st year marks, became high on alcohol quotient, became reason for many wet eyes n above all I lost my faith in the shit called love…now I wish I wasn’t so desperate then…anyways, I don’t want to go deeper into this…the scar on heart is still fresh…
So as u see…December has brought a lot of love for me…(all being unsuccessful attempt)…n with it a lot of pain…
And as the another month of December approaches…I wonder will there be another twist in the tail, another turn of fate…..will there be another…..another December Rain…
B-4
STATUTORY WARNING: enter at your own risk
In the suburbs of Malviya Nagar, New Delhi…there is place where the most weird creatures on this planet live…far away from the harsh reality of life, living in their own dreamy world…are five idiots (who were never meant to live together) sharing their life under one roof…n if you are so stupid to guess it by now…lemme tell u that am talking about my dwelling place…
If u want to score high on booze quotient, want to listen to the most illogical philosophy on life, want to escape from the dark realities of life, B-4 is the place to be….( u are a real dumbass if u haven’t guessed it by now that B-4 is my flat no.)…but before u decide to come here I must warn u that you’ll come here as a normal human being but may return fully demented…so first have some idea about what kinda people live here..
Let’s start with character sketch of the five most bakchod n useless people of Delhi…
SAM: don’t confuse with the name…he ain’t that chocolaty… he’ll come across you as the most cocky and pervicacious person in the first meeting…eyes protruding out of his satanical face as if he might charge you down any moment…lol..but that’s the misconception that people have about him…in fact he is the most benign character of B-4…a die hard fan of F.M music…saala, har waqt F.M hi sunta rehta hai…its the wormhole to his cockaigne ( his dreamland, to put it in simpler words)…as I said B-4 me saare DAY DREAMERS hi rehte hai…all in all a sweet cum arrogant cum stubborn cum lovable guy…
P.S: don’t ever try to prove him wrong, sureshot wastage of energy…he’ll never accept his mistake…
MADDY: he is the munshi of our flat(looks after the accounts book)…a die hard fan of Lord Voldemort…n prefers to be called The Dark Lord…which is partially true as well..(he is dark n lord of bakchodi)… always tries to be politically and diplomatically correct…perspicacious in taking any kinda decision… though he is genetically related to Sam (cousin bro)… there is nothing common between them…I know him for about 12 years or so…n he hasn’t changed much since then…a great companion to share secrets…Fu**, its all I know abut him…
P.S: not to be trusted for monetary work….serious loss of money.
TROY: naaah!!! He isn’t Troy Bolton…just pleaded me to keep his name as Troy in my blog..lol..(neways, whose gonna read this stupid blog!!)…the sweetest boy of our flat…in fact, he’s more of a gamine than a teenage lad…has got more (girl) friends than any other teenager living in our close proximity…has got a mellifluous voice and is quite flexible with his vocal cords…
NITISH: He is Mr. Nautanki of our group…always up for some prank…insanely in love with movies…sala sara din lappie par movie dekhta rehta hai…dunno how he manages to pass his exams…gals often find him amusing…never misses a moment to flirt with a girl…a sports freak…has got that extra juice of adrenaline which keeps him overcharged all the time… most understanding of all…(the very fact that he has beared me for last one years is the proof of it)…always ready to help you…
P.S: not to be trusted for any assignment or other academic works…might piss u off with his careless behavior…
MIGHTY GURU: well, that would be me…people also know me as Shivam….most insane n useless of all…an avid reader, music n movie buff…
Insanely in love with his guitar…n dreams to be a guitarist someday…wants to travel the whole world…par saali jeb hi dhoka de jati hai…
A sadist, an atheist, a verbose, cocky, parsimony n most selfish of all…trying to imbibe all the characters of a good manager…lol…apotheosis of bakchodi…has got a lot of ego problem n loves to be alone…guy to be avoided the most…
P.S: try to read between the lines and you’ll find he ain’t that bad..
So, this is the story of B-4…an asylum for all the random souls…if u still dare to come here...u are most welcome...n if u have any problem with what I have written above…I don’t give a shit…. go fuck in hell!!!!
BYE….
I vs ME
I’ve al ready watched two movies back to back on my lappie…
The basketball diaries (Awesome movie… in fact its one of the best performance of Leonardo Di Caprio)
Up!! (a flying house, a snipe , talking doggies…what more could you ask for)
Two movies back to back…phew!! I never thought watching movies back to back could be so tiring… I don’t want to watch movies any more…so, how am I supposed to spend the rest of my journey in this dead compartment?..... I guess it’s the right time for some self talking ….n this dark compartment provides the perfect environment, with no one to disturb around…
I: hi, how r ya?
ME: oh! Hi,…me? Ah! Am fine, thanx…
I: c’mon, who r u fooling? Ur own self? I know you are just pretending??
ME: chor yaar!!! Tu to sab janta hi hai…how fuckd up am feeling and confused I am!!!
I: yup I know… isliye to puch raha hu…maybe I could help you?
ME: I dunno where to start…am so confused…am always confused…as if I was genetically programmed to be this way… I dunno wat am I gonna do in life? I dunno how am I goin to get what I want? I dunno what am I doing in D.U? I dunno y the hell I wanna do MBA for? Money?? I even don’t know what kinda gal I want?? Man!! am such a dumb ass….
I: hmmmm…..teri to buri tarah se phati padi hai…kisi bahut hi intelligent insaan ne kaha hai ki…twenty years from now you’ll be more disappointed by the things you did do than you didn’t do…it’s not that you don’t know what you want from life…u know it well…its inscribed deep within your heart…u just don’t dare to read it….or maybe you afraid to do it…life is too short to regret for…so if you want something from life…GO GET IT….before somebody else does…n never loose faith and hope…u know u are better than any one else…n stop worrying about tomorrow…focus on today..
ME: hey, that was cool…am feeling quite good…in fact a lot better…but I know it aint gonna last longer…I’ll be the same jerk after 2-3 days…
I: mai hoon na!!! we’ll talk n fix it then…
ME: chal thanx yaar!!! I guess am feeling bit sleepy…its time to sleep..
I: gudnite
ME: gudnite.
