Jab We Met

.
What is it with this movie?

I have watched it umpteenth no. of times n can watch it a million more times.
And then its music..its simply fantabulous!

I never get tired of listening to the nagada number or the aao ge kab tum melody.And then theres Tum se hi…Mohit Suri’s voice just blends in like butter on a hot baked bread!

The direction n dialogues by Imtiaz Ali…Simply Mind Blowing!!
This guy has got some brains …his earlier flicks Socha na Tha n Saathiya wer equally awesome. He knows the youth psyche n portrays it well!

Then theres Aditya Kashyap…In which factory has he been churned out from!
He looks dashing, behaves sensibly, earns a million and sings so well … Watta guy!
Yar aise ladke train pe hi milte hain kya? ;)

I’m sure every girl who watched the movie would have taken some part of Geet with her.
The vivacious sikhni is simply adorable. She’s chirpy, loves herself deeply ( mein apni sabse favourite hoon ;) ),modest...( Bhaiya ab mera hath chod do..mein itni bhi sunder nhi hun ), kiddish and she is completely kkrazzy.
I wish I was just as crack as her if not more :P

JWM Gyan –

- Jawan Ladki Khuli tijori ki tarah hoti hai

- Methods to get over ur ex-> jala do Sali ko…ya…phone karo :P

- A mast bargain-> 1 roop ke sath aadhi geet muft muft muft!

- Jab b tum kuch sachi mein chahte ho,actually mein, to wo tumhe zaroor milta hai

- Next time u board a train, keep a check, may be your Adi Kashyap’s waitin for u ;)

My first Day at College..

.
Its been 4 years now..n my Engineering degree is complete…yet the first day of my college is still fresh in my memory.Everything seems lyk it just happened yesterday.

College gives you a new lease of life..you can start afresh and the first day is particularly special as it more or less decides the company you would have in the coming years....

Read on...

When I entered an engineering college..unfortunately it wasn’t the college of my dreams. My dream of entering a premier institute had just been shattered and as destiny would have it I entered the same college for which I had been teasing my sister for 2 years.Yes, after school we were supposed to study at the same place again!
2 years elder to me she was my super senior at college. I settled for the same branch as her.

Well to be honest this college wasn’t that bad..but there was one issue...This was a girls College! Well u think..no Big deal n y the fuss…think of 70 girls packed in 1 class room..I hope now u empathise ;)

Well..it started with the orientation day which I gleefully missed..ya I bunked the first day of colg :P..I thought I have my sis to show me the place anytime.

Aug 2, 2004

Day 1- It rained that day..so I was late for the colg..as I entered the building..I was awed to see the campus..It was like a bhulbhulaiya..huge n complicated. I first met few of my sister’s classmates n said a nervous hello n moved on. Next was the electrical Block..I saw a gang of girls staring at me..Errrrr…Wat was dat..I hadn’t still entered the class room n wud I be ragged first up…someone Phlz help..However, I gathered some courage n moved upto them..Oieee….They were my to be classmates (They were big n mature..did I luk lyk a baby??)

Next I moved to the class only to find that I had already missed my first lecture! (Oh boy! I was getting into the college mode rather fast…already missing classes).
Next was the Ranga Rao Lab n I moved on…I met Shreya there..a nice simple luking girl…she asks me…hi r u a day shcy? Ohh..now wat in the world was dat supposed to be..shud I ask..wud it luk silly…Oh hell..I asked her…err..sorry wat did u say…she smiled n told me that it’s the short form of day scholar..(Hmm…. welcome to the world of short forms from now on day scholar wud be day schy, Analog Electronics wud be AE, calculator wud be calcy, Gangadharappa Sir wud be GD )
That moment I counted her as a friend and chose her company for the rest of the day…for the large part of the day we were running from one place to another…sometimes for classes n most of the times escaping from the clutches of ragging ;)

Meanwhile my sis walks up to me in the midst of the day to tell me that she is leaving as now she is free and asked if I could get by home by myself. I immediately said OK! After all this was my chance to prove I’m a big girl now.

Finally the day ended at 5 and I was anxious as to how wud I get back. ..Ya right anxious coz…I was at this place 20 Kms away from home..with no idea of buses or routes.. but Just then I found Parul (I gotta know that she lived 2 blocks away from my place). I was so relieved to have her with me.

I don’t really remember the ride back home in the DTC buses but the one thing I wont ever forget is that I found my best friend on the way back home :)

I entered the place as a confused and an eager teenager….
I am still confused and eager…its just that m not a teenager anymore ;)

The Alchemist


Hmm...This is some book!

I mentioned about this book in my earlier blog "The fifth Mountain" ,I mentioned as to how much I hated this book...well now I'm dedicating an entire blog to this book!

Well I re read the book for the simple reasons ...


a) Found it in my cousins book shelf

b) A very thin book :)

c) I barely remembered it

d) Had loads of spare time

e) Everyone says Alchemist is a gr8 buk..


So, Mr. Cohelo here I am trusting you one more time....


Well Alchemist is a very simple story,simply told...no flashy words so is an easy read.

It is a story of a boy in the pursuit of his destiny, now he dares to follow his dreams and what he learns on the journey towards the hidden treasure his destiny has in store for him.


The shepherd boy is happy with his flock of sheep until a day he sees treasure in his dreams.The dream is reoccurent which disturbs the boy a bit. The boy decides to visit a gypsy women to get the dream interpreted.The woman tells him to go to Egypt and that is the place where his treasure lies.He doubts the woman and decides not to believe her.


The moment he thought of forgetting all about the dream,the shepherd met the king of Salem.The king of Salem helped people realize their dreams by helping them and pushing them just when they are thinking of giving it all up.The King assured him that his dream was his destiny and he ought to follow it.He told that the omens would guide him to reach his treasure.The shepherd new nothing about Egypt except that the place had Pyramids which were famous. He knew that traveling to Egypt would require a lot of money and was confident that a trade of his sheep would yield him enough money.And hence his quest for treasure begun.The shepherd traded his sheep for money and decided to set off for his journey to Egypt.But as destiny would have it,all his money was stolen and to his dismay the boy finds himself in a foreign land with no money,no sheep,no food.

The shepherd realizes there is still something that he has not lost.His will to work. The boy decides to work somewhere to earn enough money to buy his sheep.He began his work as a cleaner in a crystal shop and later worked hard to improve the sales in the shop to earn handsome profits.Meanwhile he learned the local language and enjoyed his work.He learned that although the place was different from where he came from yet there is a universal language that governs everyone. After about an year he earned enough money to travel to Egypt and hence he set forth.

The journey to Egypt was in a caravan.The caravan had to cross the desert on camels. The desert was a deadly place to go as there was danger of plunderers and desert wars.He had an Englishman for company who wanted to be an Alchemist,someone who could turn lead to gold.
The silent desert teaches him the universal language he had once heard of.He became friends with the desert and began to read the omens set for him. The Englishman was in quest for an Alchemist who lived in an oasis in the derest to learn the art from him. The war broke out in the desert and they took refuge in the oasis.

The oasis was a neutral ground and no war could be fought there.Thus was considered safe.The shepherd and the Englishman began their search for the alchemist.One day on the oasis the shepherd met an oasis girl and fell in love with her. The shepherd already had gained reputation in the oasis for his ability to read omens and thus was content and happy with his life there.The alchemist wanted to teach to only an able follower and thus he tested them and chose the shepherd capable of learning the art and so he decided to guide the shepherd to his destiny ie the treasure that lay hidden in Egypt.

The journey from the oasis to Egypt was adventurous for the two.They met plunderers on their way ad the understanding of the universal language became clearer to the shepherd. He could now talk to the sand and could be the wind himself.He became certain of achieving his target ie the treasure.

On reaching Egypt the shepherd was deserted by the Alchemist and was told to follow his destiny alone.

Will the shepherd get his treasure or all these sufferings would be in vain?
Well...read the book and you will know ;)
