Dil Bole Hadippa!

To be frank, what attracted me most to watch this movie, is this poster itself - big smiles, bright colors and the word "Hadippa". I was guessing it meant "Yay" and I believe I am quite close to what it really means. The movie is definitely worth watching once, well maybe not in the expensive movie ride, but atleast on DVD.
The movie begins with quite a predictable pattern, but it does pick up pace. The story is of a bubbly village girl wanting to make it big in her village's cricket team and beat Pakistan in the Wagah border match. Acknowledging her skills as both left and/or right hand bats(wo)man, she eagerly attends the match selection round only to be told that "this isn't a Miss India selection". As expected this leads to Veera becoming the cute and reliable Veer Pratap on the cricket team.


Rani Mukherjee is completely adorable, especially in the role of Veer Prathap. Her facial expressions and struggle through the warm up sessions could crack you up. They did crack me up. Shahid Kapur as the captain completely looks and keeps up to his role, he did seem to BE the professional cricketer. Scenes where the IndiBrit boy falls in love with the pretty, fun and knowledgeable Veera, could be boring, but the love of the Punjab food and lassi was welcome. I totally love Punjabi food and couldn't agree more! The movie does capture the spirit of endless love for the game of cricket and as expected ends with a close call to win the match.


Some dialogues written by Aparajitha are just great and Rani might win your heart. Songs are average, easily forgotten, but I love Shahid's groove. Overall, low expectations is the only way to enjoy this flick!

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!

Interesting traffic discoveries...

Now that I am preparing myself to be equipped with a local licence, u can imagine me concentrating on the differnces in the road, compared to UAE.So here goes some interesting things i find on the roads here:- a) You may make right turns on red light on most roads here, after you check traffic for urself! b)The names of the street are parallel to the road, so look right or left not straight for directions! c) there are Sensors just behind the stop line at traffic lights, that allows the system to run accordingly--so cool! d) i didnt find a single cab or bus near my place! i think its cos my area is not city! :-( e)i like the center lane idea, that allows u to stay on it and wait until u take a left turn safely!
