Thanks to movie Dasvidaniyan for reminding me to make a list of 10 things to do before i am old/bored/dead. It was in my 'To Do' list since a long time.

Every 5 minutes I am getting an Ad on my reliance handset and it is deadly irritating. I don't remember what i subscribed to and dont know how to stop receiving unwanted short messages.
Is there anyway to tag a SMS as spam? If not, here lies an opportunity for telecom service providers!

Things to Remember :

1. Each one of us have the capability to make a difference. Be the change you want to see in the world.
2. You, me or someone living next door; anyone can be the next victim of terrorism.
Don't wait for it to happen. Be proactive.
3. " Koi m*d*r*h*d ek button daba ke yeh decide nahin karega ki mujhe kab marna hai"

Wow! what a wonderfully carved movie!There are 3 things which separates 'Rock On!!' from other bollywood flix :
1. Perfect Editing by Deepa Bhatia
2. Onscreen performance of Farhan Akhtar & Arjun Rampal
3. Storyline!

Movie reminded me of times when I tried to 'Rock on'....:)
Once we had a band called VAAMPANTHI (V All Are Meniscure Precursors of Ataraxis And a Team of Hurbly-burly IITians) with me as a lyricist and Bhoju and Aashish as lead singers. We never needed any drummer or guitarist;sound editing softwares were enough for setting background scores..:D. We jammed together to come up with masterpiece like iit ki dhadkan, sf ke din and song of us.... :).
VAAMPANTHI became more than a band when vIx,Dheeru, KT, He-Man, Calee joined us. We had a group tshirt.. black tee with vaampanthi logo in saffron.Events like VOW(vaampanthi of the week) united us like never before but then we could not devote time and VAAMPANTHI died its natural death.
Calee is now working in Barclays;Aashish,Bhoju and KT in JLLM;He-Man in TVS,vIx in L&T, myself in Danieli and Dheeru is a wannabe IAS.
Don't know if we ever meet again, will we be comfortable in humming few lines of song of us ?

PS : If you need any of the 6 songs of our first and only album, drop me a mail : saurav.arya@gmail.com

Christiania is altogether a different place!
A small world having its own definition of progress, prosperity & happiness. A balanced economy of around 850 residents, most of them perform arts of one kind or the other for their living.
When I went there, I found colors all around. Memories of those graffitis on wooden wall, wooden houses for skateboarding and christianians selling colorful souvenirs, are there to remain with me forever.

Christianians have succeeded in not letting their habitat be affected by external forces. You will experience the difference between Copenhagen (infact the rest of world) & christiania as soon as you enter this freetown of 34 acres.


Recently (Sadly), there has been increasing protest and conflicts in an around christiania.
Don't know what's the fate of this 'no man's land' but i hope it remains as it is and i get a chance to take my kids to this freetown.
I wish christianians all the best, in the struggle to retain their culture & prosper in their own choosen way!
Amen.

Seems quite promising. Yash Raj Banner, top chicks of bollywood(Bipasha,Lamba & Deepika) and the cutie Ranbir Kapoor, it has it all!
I just checked its music and now can bet that it will be one of the 3 biggest hit of 2008!

Bachna Ae Haseeno would have been the ideal launch pad for Ranbir, wondering what made him go for Saawaariya.I guess it was consistency of Sanjay L Bhansali to comeup with larger than life movies/epics that attracted Ranbir. But well , dismal performance of Saawaariya taught us all a lesson :
"No matter how consistent you have been in the past, if you are obsessed with something,it is always dangerous."
Coming back to Bachna Ae Haseeno, there are 7 songs out of which 4 are mind blowing (Khuda Jaane, Title Song, Khuda Jaane(revisited) & Aahista Aahista) and rest three are ok types.
Shooting of 'Khuda Jaane' song has been done in Greece, Venice and countryside of Italy.(Thank god Yashraj prod. took a break from shooting in UK,US nd Switzerland). Some beauties would be new to bollywood audience, especially canals of venice and romancing on gondola.

PS : From sources I got to know that even Katrina Kaif is in the movie. (No points for guessing that Ranbir will fall for her at the end)

Update(05/03) : Krrish replaces Ranbir

Whatever material possessions we accumulate while we’re alive don’t amount to anything once we die. However, we can leave behind a legacy, a reputation, and a heritage. What do you want to do in your lifetime that will outlive you? Be specific. What are your goals? How can others support you and contribute to your life's mission? Please provide your comments below.

Btw if its difficult for you to decide, I'm giving you 4 options :

1. Only a little amount of fertilizer from my body for the Earth and some web sites on my activities.

2. "Try and leave this world a little better than you found it"

3. Travel the way less frequented by mortals, enjoy the joyride and make people guessing how the hell did u do it !

4. None at all.
