khaali thoughts

well....tis my birthday today [dhan ta nan !!!!.....go on....celebrate....ur future king is happy today.....]....and when the clock struck two or sumthing like that.......[coz at twelve.......i got a thrashing at the hands of my dear dostaa....read beer-ritz-deep.....and pv called from mumbai....atop the water tank...from where he roars MUMBAI KA KING KAUN ??!!....but thats not the point......ur getting diverted].........yeah when the clock struck two....i realised that i was incapable of sleeping at all today.......

was i turning cherubic and exuberant like a child on his/her birthday ??? was it retrogressive metamorphosis then ??

[believe me i think much deeper......today was an off day....]

slowly as sleep did get seduced i realised that i was in a situation which cannot be described....a situation where the mind drowns all that is worldy and inane.......and poetry is created....

[dhan te nan !!!!!!!!!!]

todays the day i'd live all my life in,

todays the day i see no strife in...

im a new man today, a year older

none the wiser, happy birthday ZANY....

today i'm a man of ocean wisdom

today i live and rule in a just kingdom

angels and demons sing of truth alike

all fear shall be killed, mind's pike

i'm a new man today, a year older

none the wiser, happy birthday ZANY...

birth shall not decide u of a purer bod

i shall not be the child of a lesser god..

what is pure shall not be held aloft white,

the black shall not be deceitful,trifle or trite

i'm a new man today, a year older

none the wiser, happy birthday ZANY...

ideals and principles shall lofty again,

truthful shall seek truth no gain,

the tinkling of gold shall not move me fast

my honour in paper rolls shall not be cast

i'm a new man today, a year older

none the wiser, happy birthday ZANY...

where perfection shall be truth, also my dreams will

where fear shall be of fear itself, none other nil

hardwork shall be the only weapon, reason the shield

golden shall be that crop of the earthy golden field

my heart shall cry out then....

shed tears of joy......crying.......

i'm a new man today, a year older

none the wiser, happy birthday ZANY...

--so said ZaNy--

ZaNy n the crank caller....nono crank texter......

there are moments in life where you marvel at the progress the human kind has made intellectually.....in the last thirty years we have witnessed a paradigm shift from the print to the electronic....from the written to the typed....to the texted....

but for every PROgress there is a CONgress.....[he he....naughty...].....for every peak there is a valley......and technology also has its downside....specially when the wielder of the instruments lags.....in the division of grey matter.....

now i respect lovers....considering that they [most of them] move against the norms of a PRUDENT society....and follow the path where their heart drives them...but what confuses me is the lack of direction and sense.the youthful who want loving and cannot get enough of it should channel their energies positively.

only the day before i received a text message from an unknown number...it was a pretty gud line....but the direction was wrong....it wud have interested a girl......it went like

" everything's beautiful when u r here,

when ur not theres nothing but fear...

come to me oh dear one of mine....

and the life will pass on all too fine...."

[a bad version of "tum ho toh " from rock on ! dont u think ???]

my inward reaction was similar to yours dear reader......confused and irritated at the same time....

my reply was,"dats fine...but who the hell are you ???"

pat came a text,"i wanna make frndshp wid you.....my frnd gave me ths number....i heard u are v.beautiful..."

that was the final straw...and i decided ZaNy just gotta take this situation over

[texting]

ZaNy: ok buddy.u gt wrng idea.u lukn fr a gurlfrds my guess.u barkn up wrng tree.im ZaNy

THE PEST: all gals avoid like ths by telln wrng name.dnt wry my names salim.im frm hyd.i study in XXX engg coll.3rd yr.

ZaNY: oi !! gender confused.....i aint whom ur lukn for.

dat pest was insistd and sent another hindi song-poem thing.....and sent ZaNy barking with rage.....

ZaNy's reply-

"lead me to the rock that is higher than I,

show me the bird that flies higher than the sky...

in agony and pain thrashed out the robin so red ....

this is ZaNy texting,understand u numbhead ??!!

take me to the king of utopia, for i hear

even in his prosperity, lives a daming fear

my question arises from not self doubt....

this is ZaNy texting, try to get it u lout !!!!!"

next text reply from the pest :

"Im sry yaar....I apolgs......I guess d guy who promsd me a galfrnd jst gav me sm randm numbr........btw....i did not undrstnd a singl word wat u said....sry agn

tc cya"

and the poet won without a sword.......

the ZaNy review......

MOVIE: Rocket Singh, Salesman of the year

*ing: Ranbir Kapoor, Manish Chaudhry, Gauhar Khan.....a hyderabadi......


Shimit Amin is one of my favorite directors.Ab Tak Chappan is a movie which i watch [much to the chagrin of my folks] every time it is telecasted in any channel. And i went to watch Rocket Singh....with a lot of expectations.

And he did not disappoint me !!! [hurray.....]

I liked Rocket Singh......In plain words.....iss pocket me rocket hai.......

RS is a movie which gives a completely new angle to business.....a nova in the perception which otherwise is full of craft, scheming tuxedoes, mindgames, bribery, politics, the correct contacts......
an angle which shows good service can also be good business.....[or good sales]

R.Kapoor plays Harpreet Singh......"35 pc in twelth......39 pc in b.com"....... with a dream of becoming successful businessman.....and a character worth its weight in gold....bad base for a salesman ?? everyun thinks so.......but not harpreet .......

i shant reveal any more......

PERFORMANCES-

ranbir kapoor has acted rather well i must opine.....his body language is really good....expressions apt....and is quite good at displaying subtle emotions

gauhar khan has acted well too.....i thought she might be the ayesha takia of wanted in this movie.....she was not disappointing at all

prem chopra has lived his character......man did he surprise me....

D.Santosh is the surprise package of the movie.....he plays a voyeuristic technician hailing from hyderabad....although he did not really perfect the twang....he did really well....

the direction is fabulous....as my expectations were....

the screenplay could have been better,for the movie does turn a tad boring in the middle of the first half.....and in the end where emotions win over pragmatism.....[heavy dialogues]







there were people in the auditorium i watched the movie in [and in many internet forums ] who opined that this movie is not entertaining at all.....









if u want entertainment.....watch wanted....or shera....or aaj ka gundaraaj....or chandaal......or jaani dushman ek anokhi kahani.......

3 stars......

gud un....
