Sitting (2nd Row) (l - r) Akhtar, Pradnya, Geeta, Aaji, Pramod, Priya, Arjun

Standing (l - r) Sandeep, Lambert, Anuja, Sonali, Ayesha, Rupali, Uma, Jennifer, Gauri and Pankaj


From all over the world,
We all came together,
at a lovely place,
I'd like to call Kalewade!

Three days of absolute bliss,
we spent doing lots of things,
from elaborate meals literally every two hours,
to dances and games of cards,

The stars were glittering all night,
with all the performers shining bright,
Sonali with her lovely voice,
mesmerized all of us in sight,

the kids put up a great show,
Arjun at the helm and malika, rohan, rahul and meha in tow,
and then suddenly, we had a spurt!
where rohan completely stole the show!

and soon opened the bag of stories,
with everyone joining in to share their bits,
anuja with her elephant memory won the bet,
while I was completely awestruck with them!

to imagine the pranks and the things that you'll did,
seems so amazing that i'm still smiling!
what a riot you'll must have been,
and what great fun it all must have been,

just listening to all that had happened,
and then revelling in all that we did,
dancing till it was late into the night,
and singing like there was no end to that time,

all that music and all the fun,
we all sure did have a great time!

our short trip into wai,
was interesting and unique it it's own right,
the musty old wood house smell,
coupled with the peaceful shell,

the sounds resonating within the temple,
and the bell clanging in tandem,

and soon it was time to head back and pack,
the three days were heading to a wrap,
a little bit of agraha and soon we were off,
to an extended vacation for all!

then we all were together again,
at just another venue!
dinners, parties and new years,
with more and more shopping goods!

so many more things to mention,
it's just going to be a while,
the amazing effort and planning that went into it,
led to a seamless smooth vacation trip,

so here's a big thank you to you all;

Aaji, for spearheading all of us and for all the things that you've taught us,
Priya and Pramod Mama, for the planning and execution,
Aai and Papa, for doing so much!
All the cousins for everything that we all did, the cards, the dances, (boy am already missing dard-e-disco and om shanti om!)
All the kids (gosh my nephews and nieces!) for that lovely performance... We all loved that immensely!

Lots of love!!

Shaitan

So thanks to some prodding from my friend Shri, I decided to go watch this movie today. I'm not upset I did, but I'm certainly not happy. It was sort of like watching Love, Sex aur Dhokha in a way. Graphic, very close to reality, and loud. The movie begins with Anurag Kashyap saying that it's a just a movie and that he doesn't support the use of drugs, drinking and driving and that it's a fictional story which is debatable because like Dev D he used an actual incident as one of the pivotal moments in the movie, in this case the moment is when 5 kids high on coke, drinks, and generally on life, speed across town and in one of the turns end up killing two people who were on a scooter. They were driving a Hummer. Anyways, to come back to the timeline of things, the movie begins by shocking you. I know I've watched a number of movies which involve sequences of kisses in front of my parents / relatives without flinching. But I would not be able to watch this movi...

Karthik Calling Karthik

After having been completely enamored and in love with the song "Uff Teri Adaa" I couldn't wait to watch the movie finally. The end emotion being, a decent watch, but could've been much better. The movie begins with a very stereotypical life of a guy (Farhaan) who's just not got anything going for him, from a landlord who's hounding him for money, to a boss who's blaming him for everything that goes wrong, to the hot co-worker (Deepika) who just doesn't know of his existence at all! The change that comes into his life, is a call, at 5 am each day, by a man who claims to be "Karthik" himself who guides him to becoming the man that he is. And voila, suddenly, the real "Karthik" begins to stand up for himself, asserts himself in front of his boss, and manages to strike conversation (a rather witty one) with Deepika too! Sitting in the audience, you literally feel like whistling and hooting when you see him walk down the corridor of his...

Hum Tum aur Ghost Review!

There are some movies where you should just choose to leave your head behind and see only the movie. This movie, Hum Tum aur Ghost, is somewhat similar. The plot is fairly simple, you have Arshad Warsi, playing Armaan, a fashion photographer who's a heavy drinker, assisted by a gorgeous Sandhya Mridul, playing Mini, in love with Dia Mirza, playing Ghehna, who's supposed to be the editor of Cosmopolitan (and is not seen under pressure, is not hyper fashion conscious, or busy at all!). That said, you have an entire entourage of "ghosts" who are following Armaan, because he has the "gift" to see, and hear them. Similar to the Sixth Sense, each of them have died having something unfinished and need help from him to complete that deed so that they can move on to heaven... It's interspersed with some comic dialogues, and some great acting esp. by Boman Irani, and Sandhya Mridul. Arshad Warsi fails to evoke the right sentiment of pity, warmth, and affection in ...
