A.A.M.W.

A.A.M.W. - Another Awesome Movie Weekend (after last one)!! That should tell you that I saw movies (more than one) over the weekend. All on Awesome NETFLIX. Here's the list:
  • Hot Tub Time Machine: 7/10 - It's a nice fun silly movie. Like Hangover but more crude. Had some shitty humor in beginning but got lil subtle by mid. Good performances & interesting concept I have to say. More fun if 80s was your 'coming off the age' period (not me!!), or otherwise too. Rob Corddry is funny (funny looking, too) and others did well too. Everyone may not be able to connect that well though, & also kinda a stoner movie so not for everyones genre.
  • Raajneeti: 8.5/10 - Awesome... It's Indian Mahabharat in modern times Politics world with a hint/touch of The Godfather. I liked it more than Godfather in some ways. Godfather is just an awesome movie, I might give it 10/10. But this movie did very well on some scales. Like taking no sides & making all characters with a mix of all shades. Performances are good, not awesome. Ranbir is good but not awesome, he had scope to do much more. I think Abhishek was better in Sarkar. But the story line, camera work, screenplay & direction is great. Lot of credit goes to Prakash Jha, the director of this movie. I really liked this review of the movie. Maybe should give 9? Maybe write  a separate full blog about this...
  • 127 Hours: 7/10 - One of the biggest problem is that you know the plot. You know he's gonna get stuck & then cut his hand to get out. It's all about when & how? But the good thing is, its a true story. James Franco is very good, I like him. Danny Boyle has done great job with his direction. Camera Work is really nice. All & all an interesting movie to watch, but nothing too awesome or mind-blowing about it.
The weather was finally lil warmer over the weekend. Not warm/fun enough for Spring I have to say. Was mostly home except lil shopping/exchange. I had 3-6 months old Trouser pants from Macys & Boots from Burlington Coat factory. I just bought them out of shopping impulse (spent lot of time & chosing & deciding) but found the shoes really tight fitting & trousers too expensive later. I went w/o receipt so they cant track dates. Burlington gave me store credit for $10 less, as the new price on bot was $10 less. However Macys could trace the purchase by scanning the pants and they gave me full refund on my credit card, WOW - I like MACYS. So that was the weekend, hope you had a good time too. Keep visiting, reading, commenting (no one does any more) & enjoying.... JAI HO!!

Feeling better, getting better... I m still the BEST!!!

Yeah, I am feeling better than last week. I mean, I was in terrible pain. OMG, that pain for 2 days after surgery was just too much, couldn't almost live with it. Thanks to all these painkillers, i was getting 'Voveran' injections which really helped me. FYI... all that painkiller drugs do is to primarily deaden the nerves so that they cannot transmit pain signals to the brain. Therefore you do not feel the pain after you swallow a painkiller. Yeah, So if you don't want to land up in a sick bed, think before popping that easy to reach painkiller.

Possible Side effects of painkillers:
Aspirin: Intestinal hemorrhage, peptic ulcer, precipitates asthma.
Ibuprofen: Stomach ulcer, vomiting, skin reactions
Novalgin: Blood disorder
Voveran: Liver and kidney damage, water retention leading to high BP
Nimesulide: Toxic liver failure, kidney damage, blood in urine
Paracetamol: None
Note: Prescription painkillers can be highly dangerous if taken without medical supervision. Also, I am not responsible for any of this information, just collected from net and wanted to share...

So with the help of all those prescribed/supervised drugs/medicines i am getting better. I am popping like 10 pills twice a day, that's a lot I guess and it does seems to be working. So I am feeling & getting much better. And yeah, I am still the BEST. I mean that's a fact, can't be changed. I was talking to my old friend Sumantho today after a long time, cool guy. He told me that I haven't changed, which is obvious as I told him... "Perfection can't be improved", LOL!!!

BTW, people have been asking me what's DNS & Septoplasty which is an obvious questions since I have been through that and have mentioned them in last two blogs. I thought that interested people might go ahead & search it on net if they want to know. I even had mentioned the links to info about it in my first blog's comment too. Anyways, let me talk about it a bit here.

DNS is acronym for Deviated Nasal Septum. A deviated septum is a common physical disorder of the nose, involving a displacement of the nasal septum. Doctors told me that it's a very common condition found in many people, just the extent of it and affect may be different. I didn't have any problems myself either. But depending on the extent, it might lead to Sinus in future. So I thought of getting it treated and the treatment is a surgery called Septoplasty. Septoplasty is a corrective surgical procedure done to straighten the nasal septum, the partition between the two nasal cavities. It's very safe & fine surgery, doesn't leaves any visible scars and nothing very complicated or risky about it I guess. I mean it does feels kinda weird when you feel that someone is working inside your small nose with not just knives but hammer & chisel too (yeah, to cut that spur of extra bone growth. I was on local anesthesia but it does feels scary). The surgery takes around 2 hrs and I really appreciate the accuracy & art of surgeon hands, i mean imagine them working inside a nose with chisel & hammer... WOW!! And then 2 painful days when ur nose is stuffed and you can't breathe which is terrible. Then you realize how important the nose is and mouth is not for breathing or you can't do anything else with it much. And a week to 10 days or maybe more of recovery. And yeah, every surgery may have its complications & risks so beware of that. Here are few links for more info about DNS & Septoplasty:

Hmmmmm, so lots of medical information this time. I feel like a doctor or something like that now. But I guess lots of my regular readers or I should say admirers are not reading my blog anymore. Like my cool manager Ganesh Letchumanan, he really used to appreciate my blogs (or atleast he says so and I would love to believe that too). He's a great guy, I had a conversation with him (which I can't disclose here what it was about, kinda confidential) and it was nice. I mean, its a good sign if you feel good about or after talking to someone; it shows that a person is nice. Like most of the people feel good after talking to me, which shows how awesome I am, and blah, blah, blah!!!

BTW, I watched 'Jaane Tu Yaa Jaane Naa' y'day. Nice movie, pretty old concept of close friends but confused about love until they find it. But presented in a nice & fresh way, faces look fresh and the music too. Imran Khan is here to stay, looks good & acts well too. As for Genelia, she's the same. Her role was pretty much like her old movie 'Tujhe Meri Kasam' with Riteish Deshmukh, can't believe she was just 16 when she did that. Also, one funny thing happened. I wanted to see Sarkar Raj as I thought I had it, I started watching it and felt as if it was very similar to the first one (with VIshnu getting jailed & attempted murder, Shankar killing his brother and all). Later I realized that I was watching the 2nd part of the first movie Sarkar only, LOL. I mean I had recently watched Godfather and it has been long since I saw Sarkar, and it has lots of elements of Godfather-II so I thought I am watching new Sarkar HAHAHA. Need to see that one and other movies which I have missed too...

That's it for now. Please keep blogging & keep reading my blogs (& COMMENTING as well please, if you wanna). This is RAHUL again saying, Good Bye & Good Luck!!!!!
