asli don ko beat karna mushkil hi nahi, naamumkin hai

I will not say anything majorly negative about the movie since it was visibly a huge project for such a young director- shuttling around the world with the entire crew. Kudos! Technically yes things have taken a quantum leap but the movie totally lost its soul in the process.. same thing happened to Kante also. either the crew gets very conscious when they shoot abroad or what but everyone had a very plastic look on them. The song 'khaike paan banaras wala' rocked; the only lively part of the movie. It was good enough to be seen again. If that song couldn't be replaced in the new one like 'main hoon don' was, it means it rocked hard enough to come back 30 years later. Just a thought on the chemistry between the actors. Kareena would at times break her eye contact from shah rukh, the person the audience connects with. So if you want to be sexy and desirable, maintain eye contact with the protagonist . It makes a huge difference to your attraction quotient.
I just realised how good Abc and helen were back then. they still are.

run baby run!

I need a window
so I can wake up to a mountainscape
not a sound but birds in the trees
go back to sleep... snoozzzzzzzzzz...
tea water boiling,
a half destroyed piano
the hall rings with every key you connect with
it's that silent
bathe and plonk on a bench in the morning sunlight
pancakes and tea
walk up the hill
down the hill
a cute little store that sells wine... and drawing sheets!

nothing is as precious as moments of irrelevance
those with no agenda
no purpose
if I am in the rat race now
its so I can earn that nothingness
so toss in 2 t shirts in a bag
drive away to devdar woods
so run babes
so you can walk through those woods again

you and your giant gulliver hands

i could run all day through this desert
of cell phones pretty women and pimped up cars
if i am promised a window
in the middle of all this nothing
so i can look through it
to see an illusion of you
amidst an oasis of your personal belongings
including me
lying there with my head in your lap
cup my face with your hands girl
(i know it could be as real as i imagine it)

night falls and i wouldn't know
coz that flicker in your eyes keeps me walking
i'm falling and i wouldnt know,
you are the strength that keeps me strung up
i'm walking on a bridge all broken
i still wouldn't know- stubborn oaf that i am
coz you got your giant gulliver hands under every step of mine

i'll know when you're gone
coz i am so nothing
and will reduce to that when you disappear
and then i wouldn't be able to claim that
i could run all day through this desert

you and your giant gulliver hands

nonsensical rhymes- I'll skip the jargon, this is for raavan

my head is stuck
in a small truck
please drive slowly the roads are sad
buda boom buda boom
buda boom buda boom
i gotto look good if i have to be bad


I'm missing my arms, legs and chest
decapitated, but i try my best
my pride is my mooch
kissi se bhi pooch
its the last bit of honor
before the slaughter
I see chaos on this road
and people saying 'check out that load'

buda boom buda boom
buda boom buda boom


ammo me up
prop me up
2 more crucified
on my either side
traffic jamming
people ramming
who wants to leave?!
I'm the toast of this eve


pyro brothers
sometimes others
light me up, light me up
buda boom buda boom
buda boom buda boom

Wordpress it is!

I have moved to Wordpress. After much introspection and discussion on what Blogger and Wordpress are capable of, I figured a one-stop shop...
