Throbbing Contest!
Yesterday, after a very long time, i was spending my time with my first girlfriend...(Ya.. my first girlfriend is not a girl, its the game of cricket)...ya i was watching South Africa playing Aussies in the back-to-back test series... and its the first test of the series that the rainbow country is hosting after defeating the aussies in their home turf. The last three in which the first two were won by africans and the last oen by aussies, and this one.. has been a contest between two superbly matched teams. In these last four tests, the change of momentum has been extraordinary, in the way the match was see-sawing... One nevery knew what to expect in teh next delivery or the next over....!!!! the match was hanging both ways every session after session...
In all, one man towers among the game..and the players who were involved.. and it is Jacques Kallis... be it bowling, Batting, or slip catching... yesterday as i was watching the match, Kallis being the stock bowler he is, came to bowl, as always to give a break thru...but he came up wiht three wkts in five balls... and lo, the match had swung their way...!!! will this trigger an australian collapse and a possible win for SA? a la harbhjan...???
when matched against the stat, kallis' talent has always been wasted or ratherthe man never did justice to hsi talent with the numbers he has agaisnt his name... But he stil plays..and continues playing in the way he wants.. a great cricketer perhaps has his eye on the world-cup and also perhaps to take the tag of being teh greatest all rounder the world has ever seen...may be.. even better than gary sobers...!!!!

The Dirty Picture

It is commonly believed that heroine (read women) oriented films are never a guarantee for success, especially in Bollywood.  But here is one movie that is out there to prove us all wrong.  'Dirty Picture' is a look back at the 1980's when plus-sized heroines as well as dance-girls posed as sex-sirens on the screen ensured a movies success.  The southern Starlet Silk Smitha was an undisputed queen of this crowd and this movie was a good  attempt at focusing on her life and times .  Pic Courtesy : Chitramala.in Dirty Picture is a semi-biography of sorts about this actress who used her oomph and sexuality to good measure, leaving men panting, and marking her presence in tamil movies as an instant guarantee for cash registers ringing. Vidya Balan, who is otherwise known for her non-conformist and clean image, plays the role of Reshma or just 'Silk' to good effect in this thought provoking film.  At these times, when her peers are running after size-zero, Vi

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Seize the Moment, My Dear Friend, yeah Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Director : Zoya Akhtar *ing : Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, Kalki Kochelin, Katrina Kaif and the Surprise Ingredient The long wait for the fourth of the ‘Farhan Akhtar’ Series was over. I call it a ‘series’, simply because they speak the same theme, without boring ourselves, and they follow a patter, without looking mundane. The ‘Coming-of-age’ theme, which was so central in his earlier movies like ‘Dil Chahta Hei’, ‘Lakshya’ and ‘Rock-on’ is employed here too, and so is his ‘ gang of three friends’. There is no central character or a protagonist, and all share the same screen space, never letting the other to hog the limelight. Zindagy Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD), too, speaks the same script. A Coming-of-age story of three men, Kabir (played with nuance by Abhay Deol), Arjun (Hrithik, a treat for the eyes) and Imran (impressive and versatile, yet again). Kalki’s Natasha is engaged to Kabir and Laila (K

Life of Pi : An Adventure and some great lessons in Life!

After the creative extravaganza of ‘The Avtar’ and the ‘Three Musketeers’, here comes another Hollywood movie, that promises a lot on the unlimited possibilities the 3D Technology and the CGI Technology offer the viewers.  Having seen, the movie, I must say, the movie has impressed me, almost as much as ‘The Avtar’ did! The Plot Based on the best selling novel by Yan Martel (not just best selling, but Man-Booker Prize Winner too), the initial part of the story is set in India, Pondicherry.  To go further,  Pi (played by Irrfan Khan)  is having a conversation with his french Author-friend and tells him how he survived 227 days on a life boat with only a Bengal Tiger (Richard Parker, the tiger is named) for company. He is also picked up by two Japanese Maritime Officials so as to investigate how the ship sank.  The Officials don’t believe his outlandish story and dismisses him.  But what exactly is Pi’ story, and that’s what the movie is all about.  Son of a Zoo-Keep
