ZNMD.....Continued! (Plz read the previous post before)

Lazy Ajinkya is back....yes, i have to take some efforts and write 'lazy' here. The sleep was short but, was then occupied with other stuff... so now have found a suitable time to post and share my views for the other good scenes from the movie...  The number is 4 now, to begin with:
4. Should I mention the scene where Imran and friends give introduction to the newly found biological father of Imran. Salman Habib (Imran's biological father) has his sense for humor. When he speak with Kabir (Abhay) we get a glimpse of his humor and listening what he spoke, Arjun(Hrithik) whispers in Imran's ears and tells him that he is Salman's Xerox copy.
5. In the following scene, we get a to know more about Salman and we get to know that Salman doesn't like ot be a family man. If he had married Rahila (Imran's mother) he would not have given the required love to Imran which he deserved. Imran's Abbu gave him that love and realising this Imran apologises to his mother for asking about Salman and tell her that he loves Abbu and her very much. 
6. Imran, Laila and Arjun are at the ground floor of their hotel in spain. Laila and Arjun had just begun to head to their room. Imran stops them and ask both of them to go for a walk (long, ofcourse). Btw, Nooria, the spanish friend of Laila is in that room and no prizes for guessing here, Imran wants to spend time with her alone in the room. Imran is now headed towards the room...grabs a flower from a vase (it was a red tulip, i guess). He enters the room with the flower clinched between his teeth. As the camera is towards Nooria...he looked awesome....Nooria is not that uber awesomely looking lass...but the way she was shown in this scene...he was looking UBERGORGEOUS. Now Imran dances for her (does the spanish tap dance).She is amazed seeing the dance. They spent the remaining night together in bed. Nooria who doesn't speak hindi or english and Imran who doesn't speak spanish speaks in hindi about his wish to find his biological father. Nooria speaks some words in spanish depicting love to him. After a while she realises that Imran's eyes are wet.
7. For the first time when Imran meets Nooria:
Imran hops out of the car....Nooria looks at him and he at her...the expression on Nooria face is pure...saying "Yeah, I like this handsome guy a lot!! I want to Date him." Now, adding to his clumsiness...he takes in hand the HERMES purse (12K pounds!!!!) called by him as Bagwati and holding her gives Nooria the signs that Imran is actually not straight.This whole scene was amazing.
8. It is the festival of Tomatina and it is amazing to see Nooria getting close to Imran (in a more friendly way and not that she is flirting with him).This shows that how the personality, the vibes, the spirit of Imran brought her close or specifically more comfortable with him. This is rarely I feel to make a girl that comfortable with you whom you just met. That is why i liked this scene. This scene is part of the song sequence Ek Junoon (Paint it red!).
8. The songs are captured beautifully...one song i think...Maine Jeena sikh liya...where Arjun sits above the bonnet of the car and some humming sound is played in the background....that sound is awesome.
9. Last but not the least - Imran's poems.... i think they are in 3 scenes and they are amazing...i think i mentioned about one scene before where the poem is recited in the background.

Well, thanks for reading....Do share with me your inputs...other scens from the movie that you liked.

PS: Haven't proofread.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (You won't get Life, a second time)

I'm just back from the theatre, had watched Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara starring Hrithik, Farhan, Abhay, Katrina and Kalki. I want to jot down the scenes that i liked and i remember them... There are some nice and meaningful moments depicted in the film. Want to remember them, feel them once again! Here they go:
Will try to start from the beginning!
1. Arjun (Hrithik) is afraid of deep sea diving. But somehow manages it, experiences the underwater world and when he comes out, he is silent for the moment...tears begin to drop out of his eyes. He realises the beauty of nature... the serenity, the calmness, the quietness, the solitude, friendship,...Life and realises that he has been missing this because of his aim to gather money as much as possible and retire when 40.
The scene is beautiful...when Arjun is emotional.. poetry (narrated by Imran (Farhan)) is played in the background (i have heard this style somewhere but don't remember.. may be in Rajesh Khanna's Bawarchi or Mirza Ghalib Serial !!). I also felt that at this scene the background score should have taken a pause...and in the background the sound of the waves and wind should have been there.

2. The film is filled with Farhan's, Hrithik and Abhay's jokes.. but most of them from Farhan.
Hmm, ajinkya...remember, what else you remember!
Well, now there is no chronological or priority order... I want to randomly jot them as i remember..
The sky diving scene...here Imran is afraid. He asks the other guy to give him a push out of the plane...he's out and after sometime begins to enjoy the fall.... the three friends come together...join hands and enjoy...what i say... the freedom.... the free as a bird thing...the happiness.

3. The last scene is very wonderful, they are running for their lives amongst the crowd and chasing them are the big bulls of spain...they have to run...if they stop or fall in the middle then they are sure to get hit by the bulls and are sure to have gruesome injuries and in extreme case may die too. Imran wants to take out all his fears so that he is not afraid of any thing for the rest of his life. So he chooses this Sport.

To be continued after a short sleep ...till then adios amigos!

I to Eye with the ATTITUDE

Was flipping thru' some fotos of my friend. Went through some pics of his childhood, really he looked innocent in them. Children always look innocent in the pics. This friend of mine is elder to me. He is of the kind whom I look up to. I met him by sheer luck and i thank god for that. 
Now those I was flipping thru' were not the childhood ones. All the pics looked deep!! His personality was shining bright. What caught my eye, were his Eyes. They had many things to say in fact they wanted to say a lot about him. Those eyes, that face wasn't afraid of anything! They were like Come what may,You can't stop me! Those eyes possessed Responsibility, Gratitude, intellectual and spiritual awakening, humbleness, strength, and boldness. For those bold eyes nothing was impossible.
His eyes told what kind of human being he is. I believe eyes are the mirror or medium to know someone. 
Those eyes inspire me. For those eyes, I'll always be there!

A different genre

The story, the screenplay are the prime aspects which drives a film but there are films which are driven by Music (background score included) alone. Music is a separate original character in these kind of films. These films can be considered in the Art House category but there is something more to them than other Art house movies.
The music in these films defines the character of the actors. The music describes the situation, it helps in developing the plot. It sets the mood for the film and the audience. 
In the end, the audience remembers just the one thing, the MUSIC!!

I lost it.............my cellphone, AGAIN!!

In the year 2009 or late 2008 (don't remember exactly! but it must be 2009) I lost my very near and dear cellphone my Nokia N70.
June 28, 2011 I lost a Nokia N70 again...not mine but my friend's, who gave it to me for using it cuz' my other phone was successful in screwing itself!! It's touch screen had become touchless and the phone became Senseless! 
But I realised something weird today, i feel i had thought about losing my phone sometime prior to its actually being not in my world (being lost, plainly!). Is this some kind of prophecy or some deja vu ?? And really i felt the same way when i lost the N70 that I owned.
What does this incidence wants to say to me?
Have you guys felt such a thing before?
Does this want to convey to me that I have the potential to be an Anti Clairvoyant!!(cuz' i got a feeling after something had happened that it would happen!) Or N and 70 can't go on dinner with me (i lost them both before dinner!!).
But whatever happened has now become the thing of the past.. No point in lamenting over it (as if i lamented on it this time!)..
Lets see do I become an Anti Clairvoyant again!

P.S: I do not believe in Clairvoyancy or any other such stuff.

Wednesday Wisdom....also deep into my friend's thoughts..

The routine follows.. I take the lunch, chat with my colleagues for a while and come downstairs to have a look at the newspaper (just going through it..). These days, I'm not even bothered to go thru' the EDs and OpEDs. Just going thru' the prime news, short articles and the glossy pics (yeah, the pro photographers shoot them beautifully, especially the sports ones :) The green fields ie, the court/ground sort of pics refreshes me!
There was an advertisement that caught my eye, that piece was not important for me but for my friend (also my colleague)! It was an advertisement for 'Admissions to the Sports Management program' of a SM (Sports Management) School. Ya, my friend aspire to be the Manager of a Sports Club and might be secretly in his wild dreams/fantasies thinking to be the Manager sometime of CFC (The Chelsea Football Club). He worships Chelsea and is a Football and Cricket Fanatic. He passionately talks about Football and Cricket, plays the Sega Manager (I haven't played it though!) and has keen interest in the policies adopted by the Managers of numerous clubs.
I come back to my desk and dive into the sea of so called work (don't know doing what!!) After sometime my friend, the Chelsea fanatic, who also happens to sit beside me, rolled his chair near mine and wanted to browse chelseafc.com (the site wasn't opening on his machine.. this is some weird errorrr!!) As soon as the homepage of chelseafc opened, it struck to me immediately to tell my pal about that important ad. I gave away the details and i wasn't surprised that he knew about that school and has also contacted it to gain some information. We browsed thru' the site of this school.. There was a page about the students of schools giving away accolades about there school and what was it like to go through the Sports Management program. The image quality of their images was very good...i think that their close up was shot from a good dslr with a very good glass (i.e the lens), may be the lens was a Prime one !! I want to get a prime lens asap that i've become so shameless I keep telling one of my friend to gift me a prime lens on my coming birthday...yeah, i was telling it very playfully :) Coming back to the topic of the image quality, i remember the close up of a girl who looked pretty Pretty!! That's it about the girl now moving further..( Though it's great that in country like ours young women are also shoulder to shoulders in choosing Sports Management as a career. WOW!!!)
I said to my friend to apply for it. He briefed me about the financial and other issues he will face for joining the program and it was not only the financial issues, it was also about the experience issue (i think what one will learn in school or before joining it, he needs to go thru' the function of a club or has to be an associate(may be 1st, 2nd or 3rd) to a manager). And now being in india and with family reponsibilities it is nearly impossible for him, this is what he says.
I ask him to apply to schools in UK. I feel someone somewhere will recognise his passion, his potential and may fund him..I told him this. I also said, "Man, an angel will arrive who'll help you in achieving the task your heart desires for"  He smiled and said "this happens in movies and not in the real world" I reminded him that anything can happen in this world...  
He finally ended our conversation by saying that time and money are the constraints that bind him now..and this is the truth he may have to live with.
Man, i feel if we search for solutions we find them.. Everything is possible for a willing heart!
