Harry Da Puttar

Mr. Potter! Well this was a kids’ delight again. No wonder the hall was full of kids. Uwaaahhh….mommmmmmy…and all those silly noises…tsk!

The initial half was pretty boring…I was like wondering what’s going on? What is all this leading to?! The next half was pretty much okay. Nothing too exciting. Special effects were okay. I’d rate this as 6.5/10.

We watched it on Tuesday night…ya it was a working day. But the next day mulu and chote were leaving for Vegas and LA. And the previous week Sunday we could not get the tickets – it was sold out! Amazing!

snow!

There were clouds but there was no rain…wait something’s falling…oh it’s just flakes…oh my God! It’s snowing!
Sob! The white days have arrived!
Atleast here the weather has been slowly changing. So it was easier for the body to get used to the cold…
What I mean is it was easier for us than it was for the New Yorkers. In NY, Wednesday was 60F. Thursday was 25F with 1 feet of snow! Ha ha! Na na na na!

Today morning when I came out, the car door won’t open! It was stuck to the body…rather it was snowed to the car body :)

My design

He said he did not favour my design. And that there were too many ambiguities.

Okay there were some... :) But like everything has a reason. This one had too. It was not my design to start with. I was only adding more details. And then even though i had removed the ambiguities after first review, this guy gave pichining comments based off the old design. Highly unwarrented, as well as unprofessional i'd say. Maybe that's one of the reason why he is still at the position that he is even with his great technical abilities.

A thing i learned - not to take ownership of work you don't originally own. Even if you have to, make sure you understand and get the ambiguities removed before someone rasies a finger on you!

Humdum movie


A cute little idea. Like just about the perfect recipe for bollywood masala.

There are so many scenes that i thought were stolen from various hit movies. I mean i could just picture the original scene when watching the copied version in this movie.

A rating of **.5/5. No good songs. Some scenes are hilarious but mostly because they seemed highly unsituational in contexts.

Oh and the game show over which this movie is based - is never really gonna work in real life. ofcourse reel life is different.

Doom 2005

Rock played the villain yet again. Atleast in this one he started off late ;)

The movie is not scary. It's not a thriller. It's just a theartrical edition of the game with the essense of movie masala!

There is a brief 3 minute scene where the movie screen is just like what they have in the game. You know, only the gun showing and bang bang bang (like in the poster)

washington main greh pravesh

The flight departure was at 6am. Ahhhh....i woke up at 4:15 and left at 4:45 :(

The night before i went to the market and bought gifts for bhaiya bhabhi & Loni. Bhua ke liye kuch nahi mila...
Went to attend the diwali project party at the club house at 9. won jaldi 5 and single line in tambola :), missed the dance to come back home to pack. around 12 went to the markets to buy roti and stuff for roomies while i was away! slept around 1:30.

Washington main Rajma Chawal khaya, Isuzu Rodeo chalayi, Gulab Jamun khaya, chole chawal naan khaya. Puja main aanso bahaya.
Bhaiya, bhabhi, Loni, bhau and phuphaji were really nice. I had a good time with family.

departure flight was also at 6. The airport was 40miles from home. we started at 4:15.
Damn i'm still sleepy!
I'm afraid i'm getting into the habit of not sleeping much. In college that was okay...because my body felt sleepy all the time and i knew i needed the sleep...but now, i don't feel it.
