I had been to Mysore about 2 weeks ago and frankly i have to say I didn't like the place at all. At least doesn't deserve to be the 9th must See place in 2010(NY times), wait wait...I think I know why those guys gave that rating to Mysore,,,,you know all these foreign hippies go crazy on hearing words like palace or king or BEER!..And also whenever they talk about India...after BPO's, crazy movies and music, the third thing that pops into their mind is yoga!!!..And i heard from some guy that Mysore is famous for that!!...I donno...and I least cared to go after and find out the truth...And also i don't think many Indians are doing yoga these days..i know am not and so are all my friends,,no one does it...

And what else to blog about??...oh ya..movies..I can talk about movies...seen 3I recently and ya I liked it...I mean, I just liked it... Unlike people or media who are going crazy about it...."Must watch"..."amazing"..."clever"..."Best thing happened to India after Sania Mirza!!"..Aah...lets not divert...lets talk about sania in some other post...So was the movie worth all that praise..??..OFCOURSE NOT...there are still some illogical, stupid, senseless things about it...I mean..dream songs...still??.. They just got away with it this time around coz they at least had a good plot and screenplay..Anyways not taking away any credit from Aamir khan and co., they made a good flick. But its still not in that MUST WATCH league of movies...

And hey MNIK is gearing up for release...SRK..kajol..doesnt get any bigger..and btw got hooked to that sajda track...awesome...Hoping this will be a great film and at least makes it to all time must watch!!!...Hey talking about good movies...see 500 days of summer...pretty good movie..incredible screenplay, nice dialogue, and good acting. And with that enough about movies.
Next post I will put up some great songs you must listen to...

And just before signing off, have to say a few words about the job and the company...Boy..Work is turning into fun these days...Well it was fun in the beginning but now its much more interesting..And the company is doing pretty well like ever before.....There is no recession for the bad guys...they keep on writing viruses...our guys keep on writing signatures for them... :) :)

P.S : Listen to this track.... Sugar Town

Book Review 1 - "Two States" -Bhagat

Posted by : Tyler Durden | Sunday, January 03, 2010 | Published in

Picked up the book '2 states' recently after a friend was touting the humor in it. As soon as I heard that magic word I had to read it!!..The first time I heard about this book was when my colleague dev was asking me to search it on google. Well there are a lot of google tricks that many of us out there are not even aware of!...So with them in your arsenal, we can pretty much say nothing can escape google or it might as well if you don't search properly :).. No offence you final year Stanford project!!! and now a billion dollar enterprise!... So anyways, As it happens...I couldn't find it, even with the SO called tricks!!!..And then I completely forgot about it, ya these are not the days when I will read a book every other day...those cool college days...who isn't missing them...My last book was some call centre true stories type of book....so even though I was hungry for a real book...I didn't have time or one...

And then I started it...and halfway through realised it was pretty late in the night(Wednesday..the middle of the week), the next day have to get up early and go work!..But the book was...what they call?..these critics...ha ya...a PAGE-TURNER..you just have to continue reading the story...Because for starters, its critically funny, very well paced, satirical in a sense commenting on all the stupid and great customs of Indians, Superbly chalked out characters, very contemporary and last but not least as I lived in a campus for 4 long years, I could imagine the story...And full credit to chetan...(Am sure he s glad I am not giving credit to other writers for his piece of art....like the 3I) :) :)... All said and done...one thing's for sure...This dude can write!! and write his ass off..... I wont be surprised if he gets one of those Booker things soon...Mind you..Three Indians already got it!!!...

P.S: Did you know that SRK thinks blogging is funny and pointless!!... Just when I thought he is my all time fav actor....dudeee...you were so so close...
