My First Glass of Beer in America

Ola

Well its been 11 days since i came to the land of dreams and i kept feeling everything is not like what it should be like :something is wrong ;i dont know what but something is surely not correct but what is it .I got that all figured out yesterday.

My landlords for now ,my seniors took me for a visit to the Carousel Center Mall in Syracuse ,and i i must say the mall is bigger than almost 3 indian malls combined or maybe even more .The sad part Indians are forbidden to shop there ;in the sense that everything is kinda expensive ,so we just kept strolling in the mall appreciating nice things and building our wishlists for the much awaited thanks giving shopping time .

I went to a lot of shops like CompUsa,BestBuy,J C Penny and many more .Food in America smells damn good but its taste isnt upto the hype built by its smell so u end up a little disappointed sometimes .But what didnt disappoint me at all was Beer.We went to a eatery called Hooters ,its like a concept bar ,yesterday the flavor was "NURSE" so all waitresses were dresses in skimpy nurse skirts and some also had stethscopes around them .The attire was damn hot for a desi like me who has just started to get into the american groove .You can decide for yourself ,here is the first page of the menu. I hope you get it now and if you wanna know more about the place here is the web address http://www.hooters.com

Well apart from the gals i must say the beer was awesome ,one glass and i could feel the swirls in my head ,for the alcoholics from india it was MOLSON .Molson is a canadian beer and if you ever get your hands on it then do gulp a bottle or two .

I am signing off for now ,will get back soon with a lot more of american flavors .

SAW !!!! a masterpiece for me .

Hellos ppl


Am specially writng this one for some of my dear frnds who dint lik /undrstand the movie SAW .
I respect their right to have their own choice and views but still i thnk d movie was great enough to force me to write dis and draw ppls attention to my conclusions from the movie ..

Well i found SAW a fast-paced, intricately plotted and intelligently macabre psycho-thriller that does not just defeat its genre rivals, but leaves them for dead, alone in the dark, screaming for mercy.

To begin with the name itself is higly intrigue , SAW has 3 meanings 1.the tool 2.past tense of see 3.a series of events
and if you try to analyze u shall observe dat d title is pretty apt from all angles although i personally felt d writers had the third meaning in mind when deciding it .

my own conclusions from the film were ( m nt sure hw many of dem writers had in mind while writing d story but nevertheless i thnk they r worth mentioning )

1.d movie is a derivative from SE7EN for sure , its like paying for your sins and all that but i guess all of you would have got that so lemme skip to other thngs .

2.the "jigsaw " killer doesnt punish you rather he leaves you in a 'game' where you could end up with evrythng (win) or with nothing (loose ).Thats why we play games to win or loose ,right ??

3. like evry game d whole thng is timed .there is a deadline kinda thng .

4.like evry game dere is an opponent .

5.like every game dere is a referee who keeps check on the 'whole sereies of events'(SAW)

6.UNLIKE evry oder game d purpose is not to defeat ur opponent instead the purpose is to pay for ur sins and suffer to an extent.how much you suffer depends on ur deeds in the game .The point is the more hollow u r frm inside the more u ll b sufferin in the game .

The punch line of the film " A serial killer who doesnt kill "is saucy enough to make you watch the whole movie .All in all i liked the movie coz it made me realize a whole new world of concepts .Every scene is screeching out to you some thng .Depends on you how much you squeeze out of it .

Neways if you happen to watch dis movie and read my post den pls do leave ur comments ...

adios

BUDDHA MUSIC !!

hellos

BUDDHA dats wat is d latest fad for me ,if not the latest the most intense one for sure !!
The music has the power of trance and yet as melodious as songs by kishore and bhupender .the first i heard was Veena by Talveen Singh and since dat day my disc man plays buddha music only .

Its sad that music cds for dis genre are pretty expensive but then such is occult of the music that it deserves that price tag . Had been listening to rock for quite some time now and so dis came as a very welcome change , thanx to a friend who gave me a big folder of buddha mp3s . All in all i would say this is the " one " for me .

Buddha cds are sure to stay for long in my cd case and in my hard disk drives !!

MY personal favs are
1.Talven singh
2.Nitin sawhney
3.crystal rainforest

and in particular radha raman by tulku .

Now me logging on back to the times of Buddha

mixed doubles !! is it a little too hotch potch ??

hellos ppl

well two days ago it so happened dat i bought tickets to watch this movie mixed doubles by rajat kapoor , and believe me dere is nothing double about this one , rather i would call it a half .

the movie starts wid some fair enough adult or so called adult jokes , from viagra to screwing ur friends wife : it went through all of them .Just when u feel alas i see an indian movie which somewat matches the likes of american pie, comes ranvir 's idea of wife swapping and from here starts the mourning of the funeral of your 125 bucks .


The man is relly desperate to screw some one elses wife which i never understood why ?? is dis world short of hookers ?? neways watevr the director wanted to show didnt go thru my throat .I never understood that how could a man become so damn unethical jus for satisfying his d**k and in the process even killing the integrity of his own wife and her wish of not to sleep with another man .

Moral of the Story :- The film was nothing like its punch line " adult comedy " , the comedy lasts for 20 odd mins or so and then begins the unfloding of the ugliness of homo sapiens ,and the those two hours seem to become never ending if you are watching the movie sitting next to your wife .I was lucky with that part (was wid my galfrnd ) but i gotta see the cold faces of a lot of couples who had sat in there seats cozily anticipating 2 good coemdy hours ahead but wat did dey know that rajat kapoor came out to be a bluffmster and this time the audience were at the receiving end .
