aeon flux!!
.......was the movie we were to see last friday. Bought the tickets, thirty minutes to go, we sat down for a lil chat.
me : [after a lot of topics..] i dont see good kid movies by walt disney in the near future...all they have is 'the wild' and 'the shaggy dog'
xxx : shaggy dog is by disney?
me : says so....oh! i should have bought lion king..
xxx : i've got a fake dvd back home...
me : [not serious ofcourse!] dont talk of pirated stuff....i'll call the police!
xxx : oh really? can you do that?
me : trust me i can.. i threatened my brother once. we had such a huge fight at home... mum had to interfere to call peace
seconds later..time for the movie..
the ticket collector [lets call him tc] : just tissues??
me : [uh? tissues? why dont guys carry tissues with them?!and why does he want tissues? .....convinced that i heard it wrong..] pardon me?
tc : those are just shoes in that box?
me : [what else could it be? an AK47?] a stunned expression on my face....yes!!yes ofcourse!!!
dumb ticket collector[now we'll call him dtc] : some people take video recorders with them...so i was just...
me : [video recorder? me? do i look like a criminal? what the hell?] HUH?
dtc : people carry video recorders..?
me : yeah....i carry a mobile phone!!
dtc : haha [an evil laugh]..screen 4...enjoy your movie!
me : [now looking at xxx] what on earth was that? why would ''I'' carry a video recorder? do i give a feeling of a 'pirator' or whatever they're called? damn...
sometimes life is just not fair....all bad things happen to good people! and most of the time the devil seems to target me!
see if you get the connection.....if you d/l pirated stuff, buy pirated cds or dvds for cheap, cos you think its too expensive originally, its not fair! its not fair for people like me.....and its so not fair for the artists who depend for survival on the no. of records they sell...
the music industry is charging sky high but that does not mean piracy is the answer. its like mehboob ali defending his actions....saying he accepts bribe cos the govt doesnt pay him enough!
its a complete circle if you get what i mean....so if you stop supporting piracy, it would help the artists a lot and mostly, it saves me a lot of embarrassment....me? a pirate? jack sparrow...annah maria? christ!
support is directly proportional to piracy...get the logic?
and, aeon flux is just an ok...

freedom of press
cnn-ibn/south asia world as it is called here is a tie up with news biggie CNN operating in India for India. I discovered the channel while surfing for happenings in India and it was around the republic day that i saw rajdeep hosting state of the nation with country related polls blowing my mind away...
we are a nation thats surviving and growing between differences but yet a majority of us still being reserved. An avg of 30% placing the nation above religion or the contrary a startling majority of 70% prioritising something as simple and sensical as clean drinking water for all against India winning the world cup, nobel prize or more medals at the olympics...
beauty of democracy is the freedom we have to shout against dissatisfied activity by the people in the govt, freedom for me to call devegowda a drama king/hypocrite, protesting on a large scale or off late as i'm learning, the freedom of the press....inspite of the corrupted people we've got, our democracy just does me proud. Its logical for me that we've kept freedom alive in the form of democracy than giving it up by accepting anyother form of govt.
and the freedom, to strip the ministers in public, calling them rot is what the press [cnn-ibn with dig] has done..now remember that everything was caught on tape..
1. sumaru ram saroj [kirakat up, mla BJP]....bribed 5 thousand rupees for protection
2. anil kumar maurya [rajghad up, mla BSP].....5 thousand again. a poacher of endangered species.The guy carries a gun in his pants!!
3.the shocker...mehboob ali [samajwadi party, cabinet minister, UP] a drug trafficker of heroin and opium who offered to transfer narcotics in his official govt owned car for a price of twenty lakhs
4.rakesh verma[minister for prisons, UP] referred by mehboob ali
The reactions that i waited for were expected. A BJP spokesperson congratulated CNN-IBN than anything else, 'promising' action. The BSP leader kicked the media out of his house not wanting to react. The samajwadi party leader, Amar Singh shrugged saying the accusations are false. He currently does not want to react...
A BIG salute to B.K. Shivakumar and his team for actually risking their own lives to expose corruption that has rooted so deeply. If you've not seen the videos, visit cnn-ibn's website for updates and details.

how to end a valentines day..
not a good kiss or a warm hug..try thinking of death...doesnt scare you? watch final destination 3...
I've not until today, met someone who's mad abt going to the cinemas as much as I am....name a movie worth watching that passed us by in the last 3/4 months! regular and loyal customers we are to cineworld bradford. A warm, red, love filled day....watched two movies, shopped a lot, ate a lot.....all woven around one philosophy..be happy!
the movies...
casanova.. slated for release on the 17th the friday, we got to watch it before the rest of the world did [talking of adv screenings!] with a casanova right with me and a baskin robbins [the only icecream i eat] in my hands :D! the movie does not make much sense towards the end but we absolutely LOVED it! heath, you're the closest thing to heaven!
final destination 3.. i had no idea what the movie was abt until we actually saw it! and god! still feel so uncomfortable....what crap at 12 in the night..'death is an energy that follows you'....even the sound of the curtain/blow of the wind starts making sense...and that might just be death..!
right enough...no movies until the end of next week is what we've decided but looks like there are a lot of good ones to miss..no roller coasters and no tanning too for the next ten years to come....watch the movie, you'll know what i'm talking abt..
bought 4 dvds for the week however..
sweet home alabama...seen it, like it
saving private ryan
lost in translation
finding neverland.....johnny depp :D!
