Dhobi Ghat A review......


21st came and it was the day for Amir's new movie release.... i was excited as i was waiting for this movie... i wanted to see this movie any how....i asked dad to accompany me (so that i could save my pocket)..... my dad managed the tickets free of cost and two tickets were arranged... in the diamond class of our nearby multiplex...

we reached on time... and were shown our seat with great respect...( i felt doubt about this much respect shown by the staff)... then we were served Two Full popcorn with two coffee without any order... i asked the reason for that... the man replied...."sir this is from IP-Multiplex to you... enjoy..." it was good to start with... having sip of coffee eating popcorn and watching movie in a theater... an ideal movie watching environment... 


after showing few trailers the movie finally started.... i should mention that the hall was partially full... 
Movie started with a slow speed.. and funny was that it got end with slow speed... ha ha ha... 
one thing which was interesting was that this movie didnt had interval and songs...
Every where in the hall was confusion and no body was ready to leave the seat as they were not ready to believe that the movie finally got over... i guess they were not ready to digest that their money got washed out by DHOBIES of DHOBI GHAT...  
Me too was shocked to see the climax...well in the true sense i was waiting for movie to get over... it was becoming unbearable for me...( now i understood why the staff was so kind and polite with us....)
and finally it got over... i took a deep breath and felt relieved and thanked God to have had shown mercy on me...

In the last i would like to request to you all... that if you have planned to see this movie in your weekends then please avoid that... dont spoil your weekend by watching this movie...
there are many other things to do beside watching DHOBI GHAT...
If somebody sponsors your ticket then only go for it...

a journey to winterlands...


Its been a week since i landed here in Varanasi... and let me tell you its really cold here....
I guess the winter was waiting for me to show his furious powers... and i agree he succeeded....
I remember i was with Ashwini and Mandeep ( my friends from Bangalore) in one and only one train from Bangalore to Patna The Great SANGHAMITRA EXPRESS... great because what ever the case may be it will drop u at Mugalsarai before 8 am...
We all were talking about the winter which generally occupies whole north in the month of Jan... from last two years the winter had been disappointing in the north... so we along with our fellow passengers were busy in criticizing the cycle of nature... we talked how we made fun of last WINTER  by wearing just on one sweater... we talked how we ate Ice-creams on a row... we talked how we went for a drive in mid night of last winter... we talked and talked and left no point to criticize and made fun of winters...
i believe the winter was listening and he showed his glimpses at Katni (railway station)...it was cold there and we three musketeers ( Ashwini, Mandeep and I) started to sense the worst which was ahead...
Ashwini and Mandeep were with me till Allahabad... at 2 am in the morning Allahabad came... it was shivering cold with fog everywhere... we all were reduced to bones...
They left and now it was my turn to leave train... it was my turn to leave the AC compartment and to face the real world.. the experience was horrible... I salute M.S. Ramaiah Jacket that protected me to a 20 km journey to my home from the severe cold waves. After experiencing this i swear never to talk against the forces of Nature...  what so ever... they are great and invincible.
But i think that winter has not shown any mercy on me... the mercury is still dipping. Well i am at my home enjoying ALOO-MATAR and CHUDA-MATAR... the gourmet choice in eastern UP in winter seasons...
Now i think i am ready to face this winter...
and waiting for mercury to rise and ice to melt...
