@ Rock on

Now that the dawg wrote such a big comment on my "oh so" useless post....lets just push it further. This could actually be a ROCK ON battle ground.

(Btw this guy looks like AB junior)


I was one of the lucky (??) ones to have watched this movie before it released for the masses. It meant that I went in the theatre without reading any reviews or frnds feedback (read a clear mind). Unfortunately this meant that I didn’t enjoy the movie as many did.



Yah you should always wait for my reviews. Esp since I tend to enjoy most of the movies. But on a very serious note...how did you manage that?
From the next time, would you please arrange "a before the release show" for me and my close associates as a thank you ;)


These were my observations:


1. Farhan is super-creative-guy who can do everything BUT he can’t keep his head straight for over 2 seconds. (BTW Watch out for his break-dance in his next movie – mind-f**king-blowing!!!!!).


And don't you think he is ugly in spite of the chiseled look?
He is super talented, but again his singing should stick to this genre of music. If he tries to get on to something more bollywood, we've had it.



2. First half was shadow of DCH & second a few notches better than Jhankaar Beats!

Very frankly, DCH was sooo much fun! This one has a lot of serious moments which appeal to you when you watch the movie for the first time. The second time, they were trying to kill me.

3. If it takes a woman (read helpless wife) & 10 yrs to break someone’s ego - HE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR FRNDSHIP!

Well...well.

4. If Purab's character had it in him to open a music comp. – WHO THE F**K WAS STOPPING HIM FOR SO LONG??

The climax was screwed up. No doubt!
All the people who had actually become such losers all of a sudden were successful. Inspired I can believe, but this I definitely cannot. People however beg to differ. Everyone likes nice endings....its called paisa vasooli. I have never been a fan of it.

5. Female playin Arjun’s wife did a splendid job, however I wonder what kept her from being the successful fashion designer. (Notice the absence of foul language here, she was really good!!)

Happiessss Endingsss!

6. ‘Tum Ho Toh’ is indeed the best thing in the movie.
indeed.

7. Both Farhan & Arjun should be put behind bars for having such a physique as it puts immense pressure on us mere mortals!

What about the Arjun's long hair?
What about the super projection of money!
What about Prachi's ring?

8. All singers should take up smoking as it enhances thr voice!

Ayee!! We are strictly against smoking!
Talk to the wall hates ashtrays...

9. 80% of the people who watched the show disagree with the ratings the movie received.
10. Media’s influence on us baffles me!!!!
11. I wish I had waited for the reviews!

Indeed.

Updates

A colleague of mine always passes by my desk and asks me the same question

"Any updates?"

I smile and this continues. Are we imitating someone or do I seem like a gossip monger. Considering the fact that I usually get to know all the gossip way after it's become stale news, I am assuming we are just making fun.


A small story unrelated to this post. Well the post isn't related to anything either.

I have seen "THE" movie of the year twice now. Rock on truly rocked!
I wouldn't mind watching it again and maybe again.


I had the same glint in my eye that I had after DCH.

It was legen...

Wait for it!

Wait for it!

DARYYYY....!! (Barnacle...)

When DCH released, I was 20...I loved the movie. Completely related to it. All of us did. Each 3 group gang was straight out from the movie. Ours however was right out from the TV show "Friends". The movie marked a clear distinction and Indian cinema had "arrived".

We became cool. We became ultra cool.


Rock on came out. I am 27. I still dream and I am inspired that age has nothing to do with creativity. It is never too late. Well I not only believe but I know so, that "jitne bhi armaan hai...poore karr lo". This time its a foursome and they rock together. Music binds them and that is their dream. There is nothing, absolutely nothing which is "wanna be-ish" about the movie. If you haven't seen the movie yet, please don't miss out on it.


We are blessed to be a part of this generation.
We dream, and some of us DO it.
Maybe our kids would dare to live all of their dreams.


Hope lives.

Btw "Tum ho toh" is undoubtedly the best song.

Also, Farhan Akhtar is one of the best things to have happened to Indian cinema.

Trivia :
My posts have had a running theme where nothing is related.
This one is no exception.
There are hardly any posts from the dawgs.
The house in Rock on...is actually Farhan's house. Like REALLY!
A very interesting observation, "significant-mine" cannot multi task at all.
The BIGGG Sunday came and left. It was amazing. Most of you were there or have seen glimpses.

Oh am not so excited. Time to go.

A not-so-great post after all. Atleast I finally wrote...
Btw diamonds are forever!

Thank you Rose..


I am angry.
I am frustrated.
I am worried.
I am confused.
I am aimless.
I am someone else! I often wonder what's wrong with me and get no reply. Everything is the same yet completely wrong. Everyone talks the same yet don’t make sense. Enough money yet there’s nothing to buy. I am healthy yet feel very sick.

I don’t recollect anything drastic that could change me so much - at least nothing that I thought could. Is it that lack of alcohol or charas that is causing these insane thoughts? Could it be the rusting idle mind that’s playing a trick on me? Maybe Global Warming!

Someone was laughing... AT ME! Who? I Dunno…

Someone was on a roll… made me visit the place I HATE the most – HOSPITAL!! India's best cancer hospital. Correction - India's best Private Cancer Hospital!!! People often relate lousy nd worthless service with the government run places; however THIS place easily takes the cake. Not a single staff member below 40 be it the frustrated 'over friendly' doc, hyper 'laidback' receptionist, horny 'snobbish' ward boys or sexless 'motherly' nurse (maybe cuz they spent half their life becoming 'sister'.. That’s beside the point!) This place is capable of infecting any perfectly healthy individual purely by its look and feel. Business strategy? Maybe! Just when I thought i had my hands full with things-to-hate I get this new 'reality' thrown at my face.

Someone screamed 'Take that you sucker' nd walked off laughing his heart out. Who? Screw it…

Here i was waiting for my next appointment, minding my own business - cursing all these lame ass sonovabitches for their non existing work ethics...

'Hi I'm Rose, what’s your name?'

For few moments I forgot everything; no anger, no frustration, no hate, peace! The most beautiful creature on this god forsaken planet had made her way to my right. Ballerina shoes, hair pulled back neatly, toy mobile in hand, dressed in a cute pink outfit she looked like a princess (I think she was one).. Her 94516534513 watt smile blew me away. She didn’t wait for my reply but made sure i couldn’t take my eyes off her as she ran from one corner to the other. Making faces at the sonovabitches - almost taunting them to catch her. She introduced herself to everyone in the room without caring for any response. She smiled nd loved the attention. This went on for bout 5 minutes before her mother escorted her to the doctor’s chamber.

'Bichari ko brain cancer hai... Dun think she'll be around for her 6th birthday'

I couldn’t believe what i heard.. Infact I refused to accept it. In a split second I wished that I could trade places with her. SOMEONE THAT SMALL & HARMLESS DOES NOT DISERVE THIS!

Whistle followed by a sadistic laughter. Didn’t see anyone. Didn’t need to. I knew who it was!

Rose occupied my mind for the rest of the day and I kept wishing for 'trade'!

Another sadistic laughter! Why now? What for? I was only wishing good for someone. All I wanted was to take place so that she can lead my life… Nothing! Silence! Clear mind! Selfish mind! Criminal mind!

Without even realizing I had wished the worse for that poor girl, she was living the way she wanted, she brought a smile to everyone around, she made them forget their worries for that brief moment, she was loving the attention, she was smiling, she was happy! Look at me - I was complete opposite.. I hate everyone, detest every emotion, happiness eludes me & I’ve forgotten to smile.

She was merely losing her body yet continue to live - I am dead nd didn’t even realize it!
