Mahesh’s World

We can relate very few movies with our lives and one such is “3 idiots”. I had the satisfaction of watching a very good movie after a long time. The “Lage raho munnabhai” Director has once again given a fine movie with a excellent message.

First of all, the movie is not based on Chetan bhagat’s “five point someone”. It is loosely coupled on the book for the basic plot and very few scenes here and there. But altogether the movie is more brilliant than the book. The plot is spindled around three students of Imperial college of engineering, Delhi. “All is well. So, do what you like to do” is the one liner of the movie.

All who have been in the movie have done their part really well. The songs are also very well written with meaningful lyrics and pleasant music adds beauty to it. The camera angles and light exposures have got the spotlight when it brings the pen picture of Shimla and ladakh. A very good team work which has come out in a splendid manner.

College,Friends,Ragging,Love,Engineering,Sudden Sadness and above all FUN are few words which can be tagged with the movie. A movie which is a must watch for all and it is for sure worth your money and time. I have made this review very small because of the lack of confidence on myself. The more i type, i may write spoilers. So enjoy the 3 idiots and their very good message to life.

Rating: 4.5/5

Lie,Bit,reel,dagalti,buruda are words with different meanings……

This post is on the habit of lying which each of us have in abundance(Excuse me if you are Mr.Harischandra or the equivalent female form). We start lying from our childhood and even our education system teaches it as our basics with the good old “Johny johny yes papa”.

It is not we naturally tell a lie, but the small happiness which we get in fooling someone is something inexpressible. In our primary classes when a cute girl(from same class) tells you that she has two bikes in her home, it is the instant reaction to say, “Only bikes ah…waste… i have 2 cars in my home!”.

So from all the way from childhood we grow with this great habit.But you will surely be inspired and awestruck by few who are far ahead of your lying skills. This post is dedicated to the best of them whom i have met in my life so far.

1) Who: Thilaka(till date haven’t heard another girl having that name)
When: When i was in 5th standard
What: Countless lies piled up. She was the best in making people believe. The point which she first said is that her brother is a close friend of Ajit(south indian actor.. compared on par with Vijay(if you don’t know vijay..then for sure earth will be destroyed in 2012)). She brought a photo of a person standing with Ajit and said it was her brother. Only after an year i saw an old Tamizh daily(daily thanthi) where i saw the same photo. It was captioned, “Ajit with his first films’ cameraman”. It was then i knew she lied. But till then all of us in the class believed whatever she said. 15000 square feet bungalow,12 cars(each in one color..we knew only 12 colors in sketch pen set those days), Whales in fish tanks, jayalalitha came to their house etc. Best of all was, the street where she lived was “Thilakar street”. You know what she would have told for this!!!!

2) Who: Dinesh(poonai,cat)
When: Higher Secondary
What: He was a tech geek. Even when we go to P.T period(games), he used to stay away framing his next set of lies. The best thing is that he struck to Computers and Gaming world. His lies are one among the best i have heard. The list is as follows:

* If you don’t have your CD working, use your ink pen and paint it around the circumference of the CD and it will start working..

* If you keep pressing the eject button of CD rom, you will see the 48x disappearing and 52x will appear…also the speed of the CD rom will change

* Once he by mistake inserted a game CD in VCD player.. There was a message which said, “You could get the CD back only if you finish 3 levels”. So, after struggling with the controls, Dinesh finished 3 levels playing with the CD players remote control!!!!

3) Who: Sambashiva
When: College
What: He was a prodigy in lying. The spontaneity is his specialty. His lies keeps flowing for no reason. But he will end it up in such a way that though you know he is lying, you will believe.

There is no single thing which you can state as his special bit(lie). Because he lives among them. No matter where he is, no matter who are around, he keeps going on with his instant bits. This capacity of samba has saved us many times from our Hod(who happens to be my next big inspiration in this list ).

The list will surely be updated in future as I meet more people. And I’m also sure that I will be one among the top three if anyone of my friends write on the same post. What if no one writes? As usual, I will myself write a seperate post on it.

Discontinu ing a work is one habit which I had from my childhood. Ofcourse, you can say it is a natural process and also quote breastfeeding discontinued at least by the age of 5. (leaving out exceptions like my childhood house owner’s son. The owner boasts on his son been breastfed till age of 8…contradictions with science??)

But this habit of discontinuing is something which almost everyone has in them. Then why write it as a seperate post? To keep up the words -”Back to blogging!”. So coming back to the subject, i first discontinued the habit of allowing my house owner to do STD calls in our landline phone. I was so innocent that i used to remove the wire from the box and say that the phone is out of order. Once they go down, i will put it back and start calling wrong numbers.

The next one i would like to mention is learning of guitar. I started it with a great passion to play “Ilaya nila” song. I learnt very eagerly that the guitar master himself praised me as a quick learner. But since i was not able to play in the evening time, i discontinued the classes.

I have discontinued many crushes from moving to the next stage. The main reason was fear. Once again notifying the fact that i’m innocent. Till date, i had more than a dozen of crushes(all one side) and even now there is one going on. No doubt i will discontinue this too!!(I cannot dance bhangra!)

The twelfth standard holidays was the best time to discontinue many more! I joined keyboard classes and left it for
the reason of my dad telling me to do stage shows and bring money just after 3 weeks of me joining the classes. I left the most precious power of mine which is “Mugging up”. Till my higher secondary i will mug up even the verses in the foreword or to be more terrific till the lines, “This book was printed on 80GSM paper”. But the entire six months of gap where i was completely indulged with cricket, made me discontinue the holy power.

I was not even able to hold a pen properly when i went for the admission in college. I wrote my name for so long time that the person got irritated and told me to just write the name and other details can be filled up later.

We had poker nights on regular basis and it haunted us so much that every week i used to message every one with brilliant announcements and clinches. But now the poker set is sleeping with my discontinued game boards.

The habit of discontinuing went so powerful that now i have discontinued the habit itself. Now, it is laziness which is haunting me.

To be discontinued….

Everyone who were reading my blog on a regular basis, would have got frustated seeing the “back to blogging” kinda posts. Believe me, its not my fault that I am not able to keep posting on a regular basis. It is some phenomenon which exists in nature which makes you stop doing things the moment you think to do it.

So, what for the post content this time? Once again personal experiences? Or some lyrics copy pasted from some website? No, this time it is going to be about the recovery process of my blog.

It was the three months period in Ahmedabad during my training i completely lost contact with my blog. Though i pretended to post regularly, i was not actually doing it. I often saw “Page not displayed”, “Mallicious content detected”, “Server not found” messages which came in a random order.

It was Sano, the network admin for our so called group who traced and said those three words..”Site is hacked”. And he tried all loop holes which he could find in wordpress and finally got back my blog for 2 hours. But I don’t know what sin i did for that hacker in my last birth that he rehacked it within 3 hours and my blog remained as a static page for another 3 months. Now once again, it is said to be recovered till it is re-rehacked by that same punyathma.

Since my blog is back, recovered, I am going to start posting on a regular basis. People I am back to blogging…(start reading once again from First para)
