Kick the Star out of Stardom.. SRK

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/12648019.cms

WTF!! So, it happened again to SRK. He got detained at White Plains Airport in New York for 2 hrs. Do you f*ing know, who he is?.. And regardless of who he is, why is he getting detained every so often?.. Is it completely "random" (like it happened to me), nothing to do with his color, appearence or last name.. don't these guys have electronic records on a person where they can put some info to not repeat there f*ing mistake again & again. Why?? They should be punished, punished by making them watch My name is Khan, in one sitting (if you didn't get it, the joke is they'll be bored outta death)... Anyways.. Congratulations Shahrukh, on Chubb Fellowship from Yale.

Study just before exams, watch movies after!!

So the I had my 1st mid-terms for a subject called Financial Markets & something-something (yeah, I still  am not even sure of the name). I had to submit it by Sunday-Midnight. I had known about it for more than a week; and also known about upcoming midterms since I started this class 1.5 months back. 8-10 chapters (I am not exactly sure) have been completed and this mid-term was covering 6 chapters. I had not even read the first one completely. And as usual, I was delaying it since so many days that I'll do it later (called procastination). And the Sunday came but I had not even started; Sunday evening happened and I had not even started.. WOW!! I finally started at 5 in evening and finished it by 8, yeah I did!! I read the chapters, found out the answer (luckily this was an objective type multiple choice questionnaire to be filled). This reminded me of old college days actually. Waiting till the exams time to start studying... we never studied the whole semster (but always thought during these exam study times that next semester onwards I'l study from begining, but it never happened ofcourse!!) but started the day-night exercise of extensive studying few days before the exams. Once I called one of my lecturer 2 days before the exams asking him the syllabus of his subject, you can guess how excited he was. However, always managed to pass first-class and good grades. But anyways, this was worst. 1.5 months study in 3 hourson the day of mid-terms.... wow!! ANother assignment submission is on coming Sunday, lets see how I do this time!! And yeah... after finishing the assignment, I treated myself with movie (we used to treat ourselves with movie even those days afterall). I watched My Name is Khan (my review can be read here) & Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief; both in theatre (by my formula of watch as many movies as you can with one ticket, lol). Percy Jackson was a nice movie, something like egyptian take on Harry Potter maybe.. it was fine!! So... I had fun writing assignments & then watching movies, that's life... Thanks for reading & keep visiting!!

My Name is Khan (2010 Movie)

I finally saw My Name is Khan, all by myself & alone. How cool is it to go to watch a  movie alone?? Well, I have done that in past. And I don't like talking during the movie anyways, or being stopped to laugh at jokes or being asked what was just said. So watching movie alone works for me. But the whole idea of going to watch a movie alone kinda sucks, kinda (that's not even a real word)!!

Well, I would say it is 7/10 movie. Yeah... some of you would be like, "that's too much for a SRK movie" and some would be like, "it deserves way more" (many would be like, "who are you to even say anything" lol). The idea & concept behind the movie is nice; Racial Profiling (my personal experiences), days in US after 9/11, effects of terrorism, Islam and lot more. There has been lots of movies in past all over the world touching this subject. But you don't expect that from Karan Johar. However, this has lots of emotional drama like any Johar's movie (none has made me cry/smile as much as K3G though). Movie is quit predictable as you know that's gonna happen. Hero will definitely get his mission (of meeting President) accomplished. There Bush look-alike was better than Obama look-alike though. Shahrukh's performance is nice, but I am not sure that was appropriate for Asperger Syndrome; he was acting kinda retarded (oops, I meant mentally challenged). At some places his acting is touching but kinda weird at some places as well. Kajol looks great even after so many years, actually looks better now; good performance as well. Zarina Wahab's performance as Shahrukh's mother and Tanay Chheda's performance as junior Shahrukh is really appreciable. Jimmy Shergil is good as usual; he's a nice actor and everything but only does good in supporting roles. Sonya Jehan is really good, in looks and acting both. But hey, Sumeet Raghvan & even Vinay Pathak in such meaningless roles. Vinay was still fine in his small but impactive role but Sumeet?? Dude, you were Mr Sarabhai, c'mon yaar!! No song and dance as well in the movie, some background scores which are just okay. Some portions & scenes are really good but some are just too obvious, over done or too slow. All I say is that if the movie si really good, you'll feel that good. And if you don't, then something is lacking. Overall, a decent movie but SRK, Kajol & Karan's trio could and should have done better... However one great message, "Any kind of discrimination based on race, religion, sex, nationality, origin or anything else is wrong; because there are only two kind of people in this world... Good or Bad!!!"
