review : A Wednesday

atlast i watched the movie i was loonging to watch! "amazing movie" is my first comment on it.. its a short movie with only a 100 mins long reel. it talks about the frustration of a common man because of the terrorist activities and how they would or should react! a must watch for people who loves hindi cinema and a good try for people who dont! the movie proved that non-masala stuff sells too :-) anupam kher, nassarudheen shah and jimmy rocked!
for all those who hasnt watched the movie, why dont u guys take some time off and park your ass on a cinema nearby?? its worth the pain!

frozen drive..

when i switched on my system i thought of writing about the movie i saw today. but then, there is a more interesting topic to write.. my frozen drive :-) its not that i drove to himalayas !!

i went for an evening movie with a friend. had a night shift all week and hence hadn gota chance to drive at night for quite long.. by the way i love to drive my bike.. especially when the air is cool.. remember cool. not frozen!

so, we had dinner from a mallu joint [we love this place.. it serves delicious "appam".. and also "karimeen".. at times even "kappa" and "meen curry"..] okie enuf of the menu..

it was close to 10 at night and the wind was so damn cool.. ah.. i din take my jacket again! i forget it almost every time i go out.. so, with the cold wind piercing thru my body i drove at an unbelievable speed of 30kph! phew.. my bike wud have shouted at me if it had lips to speak.. ive never seen the needle so low!! the eight km strech in old bombay highway, were u cud easily race ur bike at speeds above 100, i was literally embarrassed.. did i notice a cycle overtaking me?? uh, that was exaggeration..

lesson learnt: never forget to take your jacket when u go out!
