Desi Treat

This weekend was quite a treat- a nice desi movie treat coupled with a desi dinner....couldn't be better! :-)

RANG DE BASANTI was the movie venture for the week !I have been eagerly waiting for its release and booked seats a day prior to the weekend...the results ,you get the first row of seats to watch a Fun-filled movie with a message.Colors of all shades make this movie worth watching.
It covers the basic feel of India,the people, their simple yet complex lives, the confused youth,the nasty religious groups, the corrupted ministers-its all in there!
The movie focuses on a group of five who love college life and never want to be out of campus.An enthusiastic phirangi girl touches their lives through her interest in creating a documentary on India's real heroes.The movie revolves around making this documentary, how each one of their lives are at home.The latter part is all about losing a friend's fiancee' in an air force accident resulting from cheap and old parts used for the plane due to corruption.The result is the need to awaken the nation and fight the corrupt politicians by encouraging youth to take interest in the admin and authoritative posts of the country.

Best actors are Aamir Khan and Sharman Joshi makes a good comedian.Maddy is in hardly 10 scenes but does add value to the movie.Music by AR Rahman is great too, blends well in the movie.Overall Rakeysh Mehra offers us quality entertainment.


Dinner was treat by VN at India Palace-the place was packed!

The 1969 reunion!

My dad is currently enjoying "retirement", he recently tells me that he is soon having a 1969 college reunion! While just hearing that got me excited, the stories of how he found his college mates after 42 years was even more interesting. To begin with, he bumped into one of them and that kick started the whole process. They chatted about what they have been upto so far in life and if they were in touch with others. From there on, one thing led to another, he tells me. He met up with a few who never left town and stayed on for all these years. Today, they have managed to arrange a gathering of 25 classmates, all this without the involvement of Internet at all! Dad tells me that a couple of never touched a computer! That just concludes that the Internet is overrated and its sad that even if we are equipped with more tools, no one has time for another. So meeting up is pretty much a big deal in today's world. So proud of the 1969 batch!

Wedding preparations...

So we made a trip to India for a fortnight, I had to write a review- it was one of a kind.(though the characteristic of hectic is an unavoidable feature!) For the first time- 5 of us took the same flight, thats jija, sis and 3 of us, so for a start it was exciting, and the new look of the Sharjah airport was extremely pleasing, very very refreshing! :-) AirArabia was as ever on time,love this airline, had all good experiences so far! so we landed in Mumbai and crashed after a shower at my periamma's place.my cousin's little one was so cute, full of masti...the next morning was spent in selection of a suitable wedding card.Somehow it was easy to choose, since just 1 stood out in my opinion and luckily the higher authorities approved, even though they thought it looks a little small.after 2-3 corrections, the outcome was great! relieved at that work! then we went get a lehenga for reception wear,now I love to shop in India - cos of immense competition, they make you feel like the...
