The Sequel's Dash on 2011

Tie your heels up for the series of sequels for the year 2011 as IANS, New Delhi reports that 2011 will see a release of all the much awaited sequels like 'Race 2', 'Dhoom 3', 'Wanted 2', 'Partner 2' and 'Don 2'.

Race 2:
Like the prequel Race 2 will be starring Anil Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan and as the main leads. Bipasha Basu is not in the sequel, it is reported that she has been replaced by Kareena Kapoor as Saif’s love interest. Katrina Kaif also isn’t a part of sequel, she was killed anyways in the prequel, but we will have Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone as the new faces in the sequel, however, none of replacements are finalised. Like the 2008 hit version this is also being directed by Abbas Mustan and produced under Tips Film Banner.


Partner 2:
The 2007 hit will be back will the sequel with the same cast as earlier, i.e., Salman Khan, Lara Dutta and Govinda as the lead roles. But reports also state that Deepika Padukone has replaced Katrina Kaif.


















Wanted 2:
The remake of the Tamil flick Pokiri, “Wanted” starring Salman Khan and Ayesha Takia is on its way for the second part. Again it will be produced by Boney Kapoor. Reports reveal that a new face has
replaced Ayesha Takia.

Dhoom 3:
What do we call it a “Triquel”? After a gap of five years Dhoom 3 is on its way to create the magic once again. This is will directed by Aditya Chopra himself and will have certain alterations in the cast. The news that Shah Rukh Khan is a part of the movie has spread all around the globe. But the present news also says that SRK is not the only Khan in the movie, Probably we will have Aamir Khan as the cop. “Clash of the Titans?” our wait will give the answer.



Don 2:
And at the end of the year, probably Diwali will have Don 2 coming up. Priyanka Chopra remains as the main lead opposite SRK. Don 2 is reported to begin from where Don ended.


But do not hurry as this is the schedule for the year 2011. Guess sequels are the only desserts on the plate for the year 2011 or perhaps they will turn to be the leftovers. Let’s wait and watch.

Spirits - Do they exist??


“Do spirits exist?”

Well, I don’t know if this question will be appreciated. Many who believe in spirits might be too scared to read further and there are others to whom the word hardly makes any difference. I don’t know how far it is true but my granny narrated her experience when she was a kid.

It so happened that at her neighbourhood a lady who was ditched by her lover committed suicide by hanging herself on the areca nut tree. One night when she was coming out of the bathroom she was a lady putting on her Saree. The lady had long hair and was clad in white saree. My granny was really scared but went to talk to her. When she saw the lady face, she was terrified because it was the same lady. My granny was in real and had high fever for the next week. Her dad who had realized that it was a spirit, he dint wanted it to hover around in the neighbourhood as there were kids, he was scared that the spirit may harm them

Therefore one night he went to the chase the spirit of the area. Earlier there was a belief that spirits cannot face the broom. Therefore mu Great Grand Dad armed with a broom went to her. He started chasing her. When she reached the end of the lane she couldn’t cross it, and the spirit just raised herself and flew high above and disappeared. It was not to be found later.

The mystery on why couldn’t she cross the lane isn’t still answered. My Granny says that there was a picture of Lord Ganesha on the gate that ends the lane.

How far it is true is known, but the questions on spirits existence are still alive. I have spoken about spirits and I’m back to the place where I’ve started my blog from, “Do spirits exist?”

You can share your experiences here.

Fair and Lovely , Fairever really works or simply over hyped???




These products promise fairness all the time. Is it really going to work for it is possible to play with the nature and change colour of the skin you are born unless ou undergo a plastic or a cosmetic surgery? Over that these fairness creams claim to completely get rid of dark skin in a matter of two days.

I feel that the ads on enhancing the beauty or the colour of the skin are definitely overhyped.  Especially Fair and Lovely, that has come out with recent ad that literally means nothing, something called “Saaf Gorapan”, my question is how far is this going to go? Every time a new product is launched to draw the customers’ attention, it has nothing to with changing the colours of the skin. You have things like ayurvedic, winter cream, oily skin and what not. The brains in them do not work to make them believe that every time they launch a new product, the consumers the previous one will decrease pathetically.

And moreover people just get carried away by the heroines who advertise for those little did they realise that it is the thick layer of makeup that made them look charming and not the stupid cream. Moreover innovative things like fairness meter, so less innovative it seems, the card or the fairness meter like what some believe, are simply reasons for publicity, they really don’t work.

Yea, they say “saaf twacha payiye sirf saath dino mein”, and they show several faces that is improving and finally a face with ugly warts and pimples becomes the face that it more charming than Aishwarya Rai. It’s quite easy to understand that, when they say its seven days but show the changes within seconds, these ads are literally fake.  They don’t mean it any way. It’s quite foolish to believe these over hyped ads.

There places where they promise fairer skin in seven days, one of my friends, who is slightly dark by birth, says that she is been using it from seven years, yet she is dark as she was. If the creams could really work on the human skin, why would we have dark skinned models today?? All these illustrations simply provide firm proof for the fact that these creams are fake.

Its better you guys not waste too much of time and money purchasing such creams, rather utilize it usefully. Being dark on the skin hardly matters, be golden within, will surely to take you towards leading a successful and happy life.  

Be beautiful naturally.


Housefull - Movie Review


Bollywood is one of the biggest kingdoms in the world.  It gives out the best in one way or the other. Well, recently, I watched the movie, HOUSEFULL, it is real fun comedy movie that tickles your ribs unconditionally.  From the makers of Heyy Baby, comes another rib tickler.

The story is based on Aarush (Akshay Kumar), who thinks that he is a loser, an ill omen to all those who meet him, an astrologer though had told him that his ill luck would wear off the day he would marry a girl he loved. He was in love with Pooja (Mallaika Arora Khan), but she refuses to marry him because of his ill luck and her Anna, Major Krishna (Arjun Rampal) bashes him so that he keeps off her.

Bob (Ritiesh Deshmukh) was his only friend. Bob was married to Hethal (Lara Dutta), who was very fond of her per parrot, Prada. Aarush, dejected by Pooja’s decision goes to stay with Bob. As he cleans up the house using a vacuum cleaner, he sucks Prada inside too, Hethal decides to oush him out of the house, but he wins her hearts by decorating the house beautifully and apologizing for being an ill omen.

Bob and Hethal who work as a waiter and a waitress at a restaurant persuade their Boss to get his daughter Devika (Jia Khan) married to Aarush. He likes the girl, he will be happy that it is the end of his ill luck. But, Devika had just played with so that she can become the legal owner of her property as it would come on her only after she married. She married Aarush so that she owns the property and she can settle with her boyfriend.

Aarush, feels very upset and plans to commit suicide. Sandy (Deepika Padukone) comes at the right moment she saves him, eventually they fall in love. Hethal missed her father (Boman Irani) as she had not his heard his voice for years as she had married Bob against his wishes. Sandy suggest her to say that she is a mother of child, his heart would surely melt on listening to the word baby. The plan worked. Pappa agrees to meet them. 

Sandy’s brother also wanted to meet Aarush so that he could fix the wedding. Both Hethal and Sandy had lied to their elders that their husbands are very well to do with big bungalow, big cat etc. Therefore they plan to hire a huge house till Sandy’s brother and Pappa leave back. They agree Aarush and Hethal settle in their house while Sandy and Bob go to receive Anna.  The landlady believes thay Hethal and Bob are husband and wife. Sandy’s brother doesn’t arrive but Pappa does and he also assumes that Hethal and Aaruskh are married.

They decide to continue the act for a few days when Sandy’s brotherarrive, he is none other than Anna( Major Krishna).

Will Aarush be able to prove that he is worth Sandy?? Will he be able to marry Sandy??  Will Aarush succeed in winning Anna’s heart, Will his bad luck wear off?? Is all what the story is about.

The music is great, Very entertaining. All the music tracks are too good. The actors have made a very good job. Arjun Rampal rocks as always. Deepika looks too hot. And watch for the horrifying rib tickling dialogs

If you are for comedy, this movie is for you. 




Silk for your taste buds, Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk


Have you tasted Silk lately?? Hmmm I’m sure you people are completely aware of what I’m talking about. Quite true, Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk has claimed to be the most delicious chocolate. Well, your mouth’s already watering isn’t it? Cadbury has been a favourite chocolate brand for most of the consumers. The taste itself is so mesmerizing that just one o two pieces isn’t enough to satisfy your taste buds. Give me some more, is what your tongue may ask you.

Ever since I’ve come across the Silk ad, I badly wanted to taste unfortunately products don’t arrive pretty fast in Mangalore and I had to wait. My friends also wanted to taste the chocolate, we couldn’t find them anywhere. Disappointing?? But, when it’s chocolate I really don’t mind the wait. The ad got so much temptation in us, that we dint mind asking the shopkeepers if the Silk has arrived in the market.


Then, finally, when the biggest mall in our city, CITY CENTER opened, I just hoped I’d be able to taste this Silk soon. And then my, actually, our prayers were answered, the hypermarket, SPAR opened at City Centre. Me and My friends, Roydon, Dhiwin and Alok went to the mall on 2nd may to take a look at the hypermarket, that’s where I saw Dairy Milk Silk. We had to attend a competition in an hour’s time so had to leave immediately. I thought it wasn’t gonna happen; I wouldn’t taste my silk, after all??

I guess, it was my lucky day, we won at the competitions. Precisely, we wanted to celebrate, SPAR our destiny. Mammamia, obviously I went the rectangular thing wrapped in plastic. The smell itself was so tempting. We bought the chocolate, was about to open, when I heard the instrumental Om Jai Jagish song being played, then I realised it was my phone ringing. It was my Mom asking me to come home as it was late. My friends wanted to stay back.

But, of course my friends are really sweet, they came with all the way till the entrance, in the way, we ate Dairy Milk Silk. It was really tasty. I don’t know why many of the reviews on the net stated that there wasn’t much difference. I’ll tell you guys, it was awesome, just taste it slowly, you’ll feel the molten chocolate.
It is available in flavours on pure Dairy Milk Chocolate, Roasted Almond and Fruit and Nut. I suggest, go for the pure one first, don’t let the nuts and almonds come in between you and your Silk. You may find it a bit expensive, but later when you find your taste buds crying for more, you’ll realise that it’s worth it.

MIS - the KILLER with the deadly weapon





I have just completed my fourth semester BCA examination. Like all students it does get the burden of your head but I have to make a mention of this horrid subject called “Management Information Systems”.  This subject is silly sick and not meant students in BCA atleast, who find Computers as their ultimate goals. Well, I would like to keep off those machines who run on the lecturers remote controls, who study for the sake of scoring the best marks.

This horrible is surely a nightmare for those who hate to write long answers or people who don’t really have the patience to do so. It’s a bloody damned text book with up to 20 chapters that screw your brains out of your heads. Honestly, it consists of the most stupid topics like Operating Elements of Information System, Model of Communication System, Distributed Systems, Database, Physical vs. logical models of data, Hashed file organization, Index file organization , Sequential file organization, Relational database structure, Transaction processing, Behavioural model of decision phase, Decision making process, Decision tree, Classical economic model, Newell-Simon Model, Cognition theory, Human Machine Systems, Decoupling, Law of Requisite variety, Model of organizational structure, Organizational learning, Levitt Model of Organizational subsystems, 3 stage model of planning process, basic model of organizational structures and many more.


The headings seem so much similar that you have to spend a long time gazing into the questions so that you decide what the answer is for that and then write, that's the worst part. Or you will surely end up writing the answer of “behavioural model of decision making” for the question “behavioural model of decision maker”. Moreover you can see the word “Organisation” taking the highlight. Everywhere you find the word “Organisation” following you. It was fine if it was only following you, these irritate you. It is a wretched subject. This subject has no boundaries. I can’t imagine the plight of my lecturer who managed to complete the syllabus somehow. 


We used to discuss the answer by group studying, asking doubts, but barely manage to pass. Even those descendants of Mahatma Gandhiji, were in our category bribing The Almighty, to somehow clear their subjects. My seniors also hate the subject; they were around 20 of them who had a backlog because of this horrible subjects. Even a mere 2 marks worth answer can extend up to pages As far as ten marks answers are concerned, you can stop thinking as they can extend up to a few ten’s at the most. This subject had ruined my peace of mind. As I was speaking to one of my lecturers, it was quite astonishing to hear that even the BBM students have this subject but they are used to this writing job and have no complaints. Now that was shocking but I have no intensions to change my mind "I hate this subject called MIS". We also have a community in orkut for the MIS haters. http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#Community?cmm=59151110, opened by senior, Talen. This community comprises of Aloysians alone but i’m sure this horrid subject has irritated many others.


I profusely thank my lecturer, Mr. Ravindraswamy, who gave us around 60 important questions. Had it not been for him we would have never completed studying let alone clearing it this semester. I’m really happy for getting this big burden off my head and so are my friends.
My lecturer, Mr. Shailendra, has put on his best efforts to help us with the subject I have to extend my thanks to him also.
Swami Sir   |  Shailendra Sir
                                                                                                       

All that I can say to my dear juniors is that you will also be in our condition on your fourth semester. I’m sure you will in the race to finish this sick subject rather than race for being the topper.Start studying now itself nahi toh bahut baari padne wala hain. Dil pe apne haath rakke bolo All iz Well.

“All the Best Juniors.”
