Caught this awesome flick with a friend today morning! It does live up to the expectations, and some may feel its much better than the 2nd installment. Loads of fresh jokes and rib-tickling sequences in this one! Although, almost the entire film is worth a watch, a few sequences deserve a special mention:
Start off scene with Arshad selling fake exam papers (1st half)
An OLDIES sequence between...

Truly, a Maharaja Experience!
What was supposed to be a plain old 5 hour Jeddah-Mumbai flight for dad, turned out to be a 14 hour ordeal!! And the carrier was, without doubt, our very own Air India!
Drama Scene 1
Initially, the take off was delayed by an hour and a half, from Jeddah. Apparently, an Air India flight to Delhi had to be cancelled, the previous day, due to the aircraft experiencing some technical problems....

A new beginning?
Had an amazing 12-day journey visiting a friend in Paris. But thats not what this is about. Got back to Mumbai yesterday night, just to find that my life, as i know it, had changed.
How you may ask? Well, when i embarked on the journey, my cuz sis was still living with us, in our apartment. Now, she has shifted to her own new home. Lemme tell you, its real tough to cope with it, especially since...

Living lonely...
Living lonely is exactly what i’ve been doing for the past couple of months now… How exactly, you may ask? Well, its not that I am living away from my parents or stuff. Just that, i haven’t exactly socialized a lot and hence have a very limited group of friends, with whom i am in touch. A handful of college pals and just two good-old friends. And it happens, sometimes for weeks...

Prof-explained!
This post has been on my mind for long now… Finally doing it!
Hey fellas! With the new semester started, we’ve been alloted new profs for almost all the subjects. Only the maths and the edc profs have been retained. Now, us students have this power to be able to find faults even with the best profs. So, exploiting the same, here’s a list of all profs that i’ve to put up...

The much needed break!
Friday, 15th Jan 2010
This was the day. The Matheran trip was finally happening, although not all was going well. We were going to Matheran minus sister and aunt. Hence as expected, i was depressed. We woke up early in the morning since we had to take the 8am local from Kurla to Neral. However, we were too early and arrived at the Kurla station at 7.15 itself. So, we caught the immediate local to...

This was it. The Matheran trip was finally happening and everything was going smooth this time. There was all hurry around the house as everyone was busy packing and preparing. We were to leave early morning the next day, i.e., Friday. Now, towards the evening, sister suddenly has temperature of 101 degrees. Hence, we rush to the doc. He advises extra medicine, since we...
A not-so-smooth 'last' vacation.
The title may seem intriguing, and hence you’ll be looking forward to the story itself…
So, i’ll just jump right to it. This is about my ongoing (actually, just started) vacations. You may be confused as to why the early conclusion, since its just the second day today, of the 20-day long vacation. However, i have the right reasons to do so, at least they seem right to me.

My Dad has had an account in Axis Bank for a long time now. So, he is now a Priority customer and there are several advantages of being one!
For instance, we get 50% off (or, buy one get one free) on a movie ticket at Fun Cinemas and Fame every Friday! Whereas there’s an 30% off on the total ticket amount on other days! This is just about the movies, apart from...

Tuesday-1: CHAOS THEORY
27/10/2009
Its odd that Murphy’s Law strikes when least possible. It was a normal submissions-and-no-lecture day for me at college. However, at home, there was a lot of scurry and hurry as Mom and Grandma were supposed to leave for our hometown in the evening. The packing status was nil. So, as obvious, the entire day went away in last minute purchases and...

The Day.
Well, today was a day of adventures and chaos!
PART-I Firstly, it was to be Shreyansh’s(a.k.a. Shrem) last day in Mumbai, so, there was a rush of plans here and there! Secondly, there were loads of changes in those plans! For instance, we(me, Akshay and Shrem) were supposed to have lunch together at K Stars in Chembur. Shrem was to come here after meeting a friend in Vashi. However, he...
Srsly.
Well, so me, Shreyansh and a pal of us Akshay, had camped at Akshay’s place on this Friday night… The plan? Well, watch movies, play games and do the basic thing ppl do on a night out with friends,i.e., have fun! However, it wasn’t to be.
We went to Lamington to buy some stuff for me and Shreyansh… Returned at 9 in the night, totally exhausted, not just from the trip, but...

The V Day, and more.
The much awaited day for the ‘netas’ has arrived. As i post this entry, their fate, sealed in off-white electronic vote machines, is probably on the way to the vote-counting centres.
Amidst much fan-fare, the assembly elections have passed. Now, its fest time. 4 days of Diwali and then, there’s the term end for me (not a public holiday, mind you)… Sometimes, we wonder how...
5 months and Me.
Who am I?
This is the question that’s always there lingering at the back of our minds. Being honest, we do try to avoid this one as far as we can, but there comes a time when you just can’t carry on this way…
Well, i guess that time came in my life exactly 5 months ago…
It was a usual day (my exams were on then) that started off with breakfast, then studies. There was a...

Finally blogging!
Here I am…
Finally with a blog of my own, after being pressed by my friends (SHREM, to be precise).
Life keeps changing, everyday, every second. You learn to keep up, you succeed. Else, you fail.
They say that “Failure is the stepping stone to success”. It may be true, I agree, but it’s not ‘they’ who have to face the situation. It is us. And,we know better....
