New York - The movie

It was only because that we had not been to a multiplex for almost two months that we went to see a movie.

I would say it’s not a must see one's, but okay types.Kat seems to have put on a bit in the first half (sigh.... she still looks pretty anyway) and John looks hunk as usual (I'm straight boss...) :)

Thankfully there are not many songs and in the movie. It's a predictable though. I was almost bugging her with possible upcoming twists / turns in the movie.

No - there are not many twist and turns, and as I said, it's a bit predictable. The story revolves around 9/11 incident (the effect mostly).

There are some scenes from the movie which look very real and have been picturized damm neatly.Nitin mukesh's Jr. has acted a bit better in this movie.

Won't tell any part of the story here (any more )

:)

It's okay to go and watch if you are really free and have no better thing to do.

The trailer shown in the beginning was of Kambakht Ishq (KI), it's appealing. Akshay has his charm as usual. This movie is a definitive go for us.

Coming back to New York, I would rate it as 2.5/5

Lido Adlabs, I would rate 1.5 / 5 Waiting queue for parking and exiting after the movie is a real pain. Plus food court is closed boss. The only good thing that happened to that mall was Noodle bar, that’s history now.

All in all, it’s not the best thing to do on a Friday night to visit Lido mall and watch the movie - New York.

HOW TO MAKE A MAN HAPPY

Sweet Little Smile

The Pregnancy Fever

When one tends to notice things around, it seems to be very common.

For instance???

When we were thinking about purchasing a car, our eyes got stuck on i10. Whenever on road, we used to keep looking at i10’s. So many i10’s on road man. Red, black, cream, grey, silver…. They are on road in every color and not just few, lots of them.

When we were getting married (or engaged), we keep listening to stuff like… 

“you know so and so is engaged”, “so and so is getting married”.

The latest we keep hearing about is pregnancy. It’s not that we are planning for one presently.. but man… there are ton’s of couples getting pregnant around us.

At our wedding, there were at least 4 pregnant ladies  (first cousins).

And in last one week, we got this amazing news that 4 of our friends are pregnant.

As my wifey call’s it, this is nothing but The Pregnancy Fever :) 

Vacation

It so often happens that vacation turn out to be more tiring. A weekend, a week or for that matter a whole 15 days at times seems to be less and at end of it, you’re tired.

Since November all vacations / travels have turned out to be extremely enjoyable, superb and fantastic. The other common thing in all these vacations – end of it, we end up being super drained out. 

1st vacation was our (me and wifey) honeymoon. Fifteen days just flew by.

A Cruise from Singapore, couple of days on Singapore land and Bali, all were amazing. Every place had something exciting about it. Every place had an exclusive variety of food.

The cruise and Singapore was super tiring. Bali was a total different game though. Bali is amongst one of the most amazing places in SE Asia. I would like to contradict my first statement. Bali was super relaxing (some amazing SPA’s and ocean not more than 15 steps away from room, what else you want).

2nd trip – Amchi Mumbai. 3 days in Mumbai and we slept for not more than 4 hrs a night (who sleeps in a city like Mumbai???).

We just kept our bags packed. In 3 months made trips to Coorg, Kanpur, Delhi, Kota and Ooty (and still planning for more).

Phew!!

It so happens that on a vacation when you see so much to do, so many places to explore, so many different kind of ppl to meet – who can sit in a room/resort?

Exploring stuff / places adds true essence to your Vacation.

Spending a full working week with my "In-Laws" would be so much fun, I'd never imagined.

MIL - excellent cook. Can't have enough of whatever she cooks.

FIL - high spirited enthu person. Game for most things and a deep thinker.

BIL - Nobody can work like him. Work (eat) work (fun) work (sleep) work (baby sitting) work (movies) work (etc) :) 

SIL - very sweet. Adventourous and changing nappies always. A talented chef too. specialises in Burmese and Italian food.

Nephew - Ahh.... Sweet, lil, cute, chubby, naughty, ku-chi-ku darling.

Wifey - she is not in-laws, she is on both sides :)

We had a nice short time in Ooty (rather 30 km beyond Ooty, main city is not worth a stay).

For a foodie like me, MIL and SIL were my newly found best friends ;)

Velocity of Money

Read this article / forward.

Need to appreciate it.

It is August. In a small town on the South Coast of France, the holiday season is in full swing, but it is raining so there is not too much business happening. Everyone is heavily in debt.

Luckily, a rich Russian tourist arrives in the foyer of the small local hotel. He asks for a room and puts a Euro100 note on the reception counter,takes a key and goes to inspect the room located up the stairs on the third floor.

The hotel owner takes the banknote in hurry and rushes to his meat supplier to whom he owes E100. 

The butcher takes the money and races to his supplier to pay his debt.

The wholesaler rushes to the farmer to pay E100 for pigs he purchased some time ago.

The farmer triumphantly gives the E100 note to a local hair dresser who provided him his services on credit.

The hair dresser goes quickly to the hotel, as he owed the hotel for his room use a month back.

At that moment, the rich Russian is coming down to reception and informs the hotel owner that the proposed room is unsatisfactory and takes his E100 back and departs.

There was no profit or income. There was NO real economic activity. But everyone no longer has any debt and the small town people look optimistically towards their future.

COULD THIS BE THE SOLUTION TO THE Global Financial Crisis? Just sheer velocity of money?
