Birthday

So last year I had hired a cocktail lounge for the birthday party and this year I'm stuck in a motel room alone in a different country.

C'est la vie.

Although I think your insurance firm wishing you best wishes for your health is funny :)

Raaz (with Sridhar)

Met Sridhar today who used to be an irritating kid who used to always call me names and then I would beat him up. But now we are old and were cordial to each other. Hahaha.

Even treated me to dinner at this Indian restaurant called Raaz (537 Washington Boulevard).

Welcome | Halla Bol | My Name is Anthony Gonsalves

From comments I posted elsewhere.

Welcome

Avoidable.

Akshay Kumar was highly off color and boring in this movie.

Nana Patekar was fun. As always. Anil Kapoor was great too. The movie was probably only bearable and fun when they were on (apart from katrina ;-).

The second part was too streched out.

Halla Bol

The movie was good in the first half but it managed to mess itself in the second half. It couldn't decide if it wanted to be an RDB or a masala movie.

The scenes like the pankaj kapoor with truck, at pool and ajay devgan's rug scene could have been well avoided.

I think the villan was acting well but all these silly scenes and his P.A. etc messed up his fear factor.

And it would probably have been better if the story was set in Delhi and not Bombay since the main inspiration of the movie is the Jessica Lal murder case

My Name is Anthony Gonsalves

Well. Overall it was good timepass cause the story line was fun and I thought the supporting actors like Mithun, Anupam Kher and Pawan Malhotra did a good job.

Nikhil was woefully short of ammunation whenever the scene required that "something extra" be it an emotional scene or a funny scene or a acting out scene. His role was very well set up so one always felt and supported him somewhat but I always felt one could have used a stronger actor.

Oh and Amrita Rao was cute. As always. :)

Coming Up: Golden Compass tomorrow. (And Bombay to Bangkok sometime after that).

Sodexho Travails

How do you people finish your Sodexho coupons/cards?

I seem to be stuck with thousands in Sodexho coupons and don't seem to be making any progress spending any of it eating idlis in the local cafetaria. Can't I just buy a TV or something? :-/

I Drive

So I DRIVE and all now!

Finally made the 38km trip to the office and back today and feeling very accomplished. ;-)

The car in the photo is not mine but it's close enough.

Had the car for almost 2 months now but it was just lying in my garage mostly. Had decided to post when I finally made the office trip.

Aerosmith - Bangalore 2007

Awesome show!

Reached around 7:45, suitably fortified. Strolled into the 1800 section with corporate discount ticket. Managed to reach in front without much effort. It was quite peaceful there surprisingly. There were too many women and couples ahead then guys.

It was Joe Perry's show all the way. There were some rumours of Tyler not being well although he didn't show it. The guitar solo after Sweet Emotions was the best portion of the concert.

They missed out a number of popular songs like Janie's Got a Gun but managed to keep the energy up all concert. Never a boring moment.

They played my favourite song "Dream On" near the beginning. Yes!

Accomplice in crime was again [info]suyesh who gave up a VIP pass to slum it out in the 1800s.

Can't seem to upload videos to Youtube. Only managed one small clip.

Anisuthide Yaako Indu

The english translation finally.

...

Anisuthide yaako indu

Neeneyne nannavalindu

Maayadaa lokadinda

Nanagaage bandavalindu

Aahaa yentha madhura yaathane

[ Don’t know why I feel this way today,

That you are the one for me,

From a magical world,

You have come for me today,

Oh what a sweet pain is this……]

Kollu hudugi omme nanna, haage summane (these 2 words are equivalent of ‘bas yun hi’ in hindi…literally it translates to just simply)

[ Kill me once oh girl, just like that…..]

Suriyuva soneyu sooside ninnade parimala

Innyara kanasulu neenu hodare talamala

Poorna chandira rajaa haakida

Ninnaya mogavanu kanda kshanaa…

Naa khaidi neeney seremane

Tabbi nanna appiko omme…. haage summane

[ The raging rain has brought your sweet smell,

If you step into anyone else’s dream, I feel so restless,

The full moon ceased to exist, from the moment he saw your face.

I’m a prisoner and you are the prison….

Please hold and hug me tight, just like that….]

Anisuthide yaako indu…

Tutigala hoovali aadada maathina sihiyide

Manasina putadali kevala ninnade sahiyide

Haneyali bareyada ninna hesara

Hrudayadi naane korediruve

Ninagunte idara kalpane

Nanna hesara kooge omme… haage summane

[ The petals of your lips have the sweetness, of the words you haven’t spoken,

The pages of my heart have only your signatures,

Your name which fate hasn’t written on my forehead,

I have engraved them on my heart,

Do you have any idea about this?

Call my name just once, just like that…..]

Anisuthide yaako indu….

Neeneyney nannavalindu….

Maayadaa lokadinda

Nanagaagi bandavalindu

Aahaa yentha madhura yaathaney

Kollu hudugi omme nanna, haage summane…
