After a long time......

I haven’t written much lately(eight days precisely). It was not that I was busy with work…but busy being sluggish, miserable, gloomy, ratty, rondu(hard to imagine this one) and god knows what….reason …hubby dear is out of town for a month and I was (am/will) missing (miss) him…hardly expected out of me to be menti senti but..there I am.Anyways…now that I am back to some senses so feeling much better J

"Rewind"–

We (hubby and me ) left for our native place last to last Thursday. On station I could see almost everyone carrying at least two dozen mangoes…....though I also wanted to buy some mangoes for home(anyone living in Rajasthan can understand the importance of hafoos aam) but since our travel plan was not certain I refrained myself from buying. So there I was, eyeing everyone’s mangoes avariciously.

Anyways we boarded this train which was nice in terms of food.. i.e. all the local vendors were allowed to get in AC couches(surprise surprise) and sell their stuff which included things like idli,vada,bhel..and mangoes…yes the famous hafoos of valsad…sold 60-50 Rs a dozen (can u believe this)

Happy(read greedy) as hell…..i asked hubby dear to buy two dozen of them(not just me the entire compartment had done so). We had this fellow passenger who was continuously cursing these mangoes. It turned out that poor guy had bought same quality of mangoes from Mumbai 250 a dozen!!!!!!!! Now I could understand his cribbing (lolzz….it’s human nature after all).

“Vishesh Tipani” –

Finally saw ‘Rajneeti’ this Friday…Movie is mundane…one time watch mainly because of the ensemble cast which comprises some of the best in business. Like everyone who has seen this movie even I was busy figuring out who is who for the first 20 mins. Hubby dear couldn’t manage that…had to explain him..who was chacha..tau…nana..beta et all.

Performance wise..Manoj Bajpai is back with a bang, portraying the callous..jealous brother to a hilt. Nana Paterkar was good..Ajay Devgan – wasted.
Ranbir – well he is a darling but he needs to show more intensity in his acting.
The two disappointments I had were obvious..Katrina and NS… I don’t say kats acted badly in fact she was decent but I think she needed more footage to show her mended skills and renovated Hindi….she hardly gets 30 mins out of the whole movie(I understand it’s a males world still…). As of NS…acting for one scene ….gwad!!!! he deserves better…Oh how could I forget Mr Rampal… all I can say is finally he is learning acting..looks like he is in good company(read SRK) these days J

I particularly liked the rally scene when brij asks everyone to leave the stage so that only family members get it..that scene was brilliant.

Hard to miss references of Mahabharath and Godfather were there. In all the movie is OK but don’t expect much..

Anyways…that’s all from me ciao take care

PS- Considering our recent downers with movies me and hubby dear have resolved to strictly stick to reviews and not jump in every time to watch new movies.
Monsoons are back :)
