My 6th Semester .. A review that went awry

Another sem ended. Now I am in final year and the official senior of the college.

There are 4 stages in college life according to Swami Mandyshwar (Mandy Sir)

1) First year students:- Freshmen
2) Second year students:-Sophomores (Sophisticated Morones)
3) Third Year Students:-Juniors
4) Final year Students:-Seniors

I will write this post in a few parts as it has been a long time since I typed for this blog or for any blog. This sem was a bit unusual as I had no crush this sem and the older one (Ms oops Mrs D now) too vanished.

Before starting with the post I want to start a topic of discussion.

Why Indian girls change a lot after their wedding? (this is not the case with the western countries)

Ms D was beautiful because of her simplicity and the charm that was associated with her. Even though she mostly kept quiet there was a positive vibe of energy that was associated with her and that was the best part. A glow was there on her face that radiated her beauty. But after her wedding. She has changed completely. The glow has vanished, She uses makeup that looks so cheap (ok ok I will not use the word cheap. I will say it looks over). She isn’t attractive anymore in spite of the fact that she was on duty in our examination hall even then I didn’t see her and got 43/45 in that exam.

Enough about D now about the sem.

I won’t use the name of faculty members as it will create problem if google indexes it. It happened with my friend also and I am in no mood to take panga with any of the teacher now.

Actually I am fed up of this college now. It has been 3 long years and it is too much to handle now. Thapar University has given me a lot. It has taught me how to live in most pathetic environment and even then enjoy it. It is no better than the Shawshank prison. But anyways it gave me some of my best friends and I hope it gives me a good placement too now. Hope for the best and be ready for the worst that’s the other thing that it has taught me. Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Satyam. Don’t know where the destiny will take me anyways time will tell.

I saw Pirates of the Caribbean at the worlds end yesterday. Really awesome movie. It appeared slow and sluggish in the beginning but as it progressed it simply sucks you in and when it finishes you can only say.. WOW!!!! The problem was that I didn’t see the hidden scene and now searching like maniac for it on youtube but Walt Disney has pressurized youtube to remove it from the net. The best scene was of multiple jacks when one of them says.. Wait!!! Dropped me brain…

Jack Sparrow was simply awesome and as usual his role was full of humor and narcissism. But the star of the movie was indeed Captian Barbossa. He was amazing.

The movie is complicated. But enjoy it as mindless action flick you will love it..

Today hopefully I will see Shootout at Lokhandwala, Read the reviews of Cheeni Kum too they are really encouraging. So another movie goes in my “to be downloaded” list.

Well I will start with the description part from next post this is another post that has gone awry… Bye blog… Catch ya soon

Pearls of Wisdom

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be “meetings.”

3. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

5. You should not confuse your career with your life.

6. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.

7. Never lick a steak knife.

8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.

13. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

14. Your friends love you anyway.

Koffee With Karan-Richard Gere

Richard Gere: Bipasha is very sexy

Karan Johar and Richard Gere

This week, Koffee With Karan will see a Hollywood guest. Richard Gere will make his debut at Karan Johar’s popular chat show.

The actor talks about his experiences in India, about his AIDS campaigne in the country, and how Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Shabana Azmi and Bipasha Basu helped to set the ball rolling. He also confessed that he has seen Indian movies, and would love to act in a song and dance Bollywood movie!

Excerpts from this week’s show:

Karan: My mother goes weak in her knees every time she sees you on television.

Richard: I have this bizarre thing happen. I was making a movie recently and there was a little press conference so that everybody would know what we are doing. And there was this young reporter there… so shy… and she came up to me and said, ‘Mr Gere, three generations of women in my family love you — my grandmother, my mother and me.’ And I started blushing.

Karan: You have actually been very consistent in this — working with your heart and soul for a while (cause of HIV Aids). But a lot of other celebrities come in initially… what do I call it… it’s considered fashionable to fight a cause or do something.

Richard: It’s not something that everyone does and maybe their interests are elsewhere or their voyage is elsewhere and there are other things they are working on. I don’t blame them for that, but I am thankful to the ones to whom it does touch and they continue. The first time I came here and started working on HIV AIDS, which was a year ago, I thought that if we did two events — one in Delhi, one in Mumbai — it will change everything. I was very na?ve and obviously, for a moment there were newspapers, talks and photographers, basically a lot of attention to this subject. So it meant really building this up from ground zero, how to build an organisation, how to build the network of friends, who are equally committed…

Karan: You feel they need to be?

Richard: Ya, I think. They can and they will be. You know, we did an event with 15,000 sex workers, which was extraordinary. A whole lot of actors and actresses volunteered for it. We didn’t have to chase them down.

Karan: Is there any one particular actor that you have been interacting with that you feel has been very supportive?

Richard: Well, Shabana Azmi is one.

Karan: She has actually been fighting for the cause since many years.

Richard: And not just this cause but many causes. And there was… I forget the name… she was wonderful.

Karan: Bipasha?

Richard: Yes, Bipasha.

Karan: Yes, she is a lovely girl. And is also considered very sexy.

Richard: I can tell you she is very sexy and hot. Ya, she is terrific and very bright too.

Karan: Do you think in India, AIDS is considered to be a homosexual disease? There is a lot of ignorance?

Richard: People just think… yes, it is primarily sexually transmitted — sex workers and truckers — they are the ones

who are in this culture, labeled the ones. ‘That it is okay, if they die.’

Karan: Oh God!

Richard: Yes. But that’s basically what has happened here. And of course, this disease has gone into the middle class community.

That was the excerpt from the show. Now about the review of the show.

I will explain it point wise

1) Karan Johar was nervous.

2) Richard Gere was perhaps too prodigious for this show.

3) About last statement Karan was also aware of this made the matters worse.

4) Richard Gere took the show really casually unlike the Indian celebs who really take it seriously.

5) The nonchalance of Richard Gere made the show tad boring.

Still it was funny sometimes when Karan Johar got the best of Mr Richard Gere. One incident was rapidfire whenn Gere said that it wasnt much rapid. To it Karan replied because it lacked fire…. Awesome reply indeed

Soon the video will be uploaded by someone on youtube so see yourself if you missed it.

Deepika Padukone in Levis Ad

The description from a community on orkut is absolutely true about Deepika Padukone

“Beautiful she is, with a fresh prettiness,a dimpled smile,and a lithe body, but in some ways, she is most unmodel-like. One just can’t associate the hyperactive, chain-smoking, compulsively partying prototype of her breed with Deepika. Her feet, she assures listeners, are firmly on the ground and she feels no danger of being swept away irrevocably into the stormy, high-strung world of fashion.For a 19-year-old,while retaining a refreshing innocence that is one of her strongest assets.
She Turns me On..”

yeah yeah kie other123456777 girls.. whats the big deal anyways….lol

End sems and beyond

 End sems are approaching. I can face the heat now as the schedule is very hectinc next week (to be precise Monday and Tuesday). Finally it will be over on 30th and then summer vacations will start. All plans are made for the vacations and all the preparations are to be done for placements after vacations. It seems I am not tensed about end sems but I am more concerned about placements.

 

Infosys,TCS,Flexi,Satyam,Wipro,Tech Mahindra …the  list is endless.. I have heard that all the companies will come in a 10 day slot.. Don’t know what will be the experience then.. anyways I will do lots of blogging in summer vacations..

 

Not much to say now.. Byee..

HITCH

The movie Hitch is special. As it is one of the few movies I saw on TV instead on PC and the first movie I saw 4 times. I still remember the day I saw it first time. There were 2 movies one at star movies the other at HBO. I selected Hitch as its rating was higher and in the end I was so happy that I saw it.

 

The movie is one of the sweetest film I have ever seen. Will Smith is amazing and I never expected that he can handle these roles such effortlessly (The Pursuit of Happyness is another case). It is really a movie that will make you smile and laugh. So this is indeed one of my favorite movie. Quotable dialogues, great music, amazing performances… well what else could you ask for. The only weak point in this movie was Eva Mendes, there could have been a better choice for this role than her. Aishwariya Rai was offered this role but she refused as she was buy working in a disastrous movie “Bride and Prejudice”. Anyways it was her bad luck… All in all a must watch movie.. Everyone should watch it …

 

The quotes I liked were..

 

Hitch: Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the moments that take your breath away.

 

Hitch: Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.

 

Hitch: Any guy can sweep any girl off her feet; he just needs the right broom.

 

Hitch: Basic principles of love… well there are none.

 

Albert: You know what it’s like getting up every morning? Feeling hopeless, feeling like the love of your life is waking up with the wrong man. But, at the same time hoping that she still finds happiness, even if it’s never going to be with you.

 

Hitch: Heard of Michelangelo? Heard of the Sistine Chapel?

Albert:Yeah?
[Points at himself]

Hitch:Michelangelo.
[Points at Albert]

Hitch: Sistine Chapel.

Albert: So you’re saying you can make this work?

Hitch: My name is Alex Hitchens. Let’s go paint that ceiling.

Shirin Bhan

Here she is Shirin Bhan. One of the prettiest face on Indian TV these days. She is the one who made me watch CNBC again (and I don’t know how many times I complained about the poor quality of CNBC to my cable operator.). She is really sweet and cute and I really admire her style (but still I consider barkha dutt the best). Anyways people at Freescale Noida are really lucky as they see her a lot as CNBC office is also in the same building. Anyways SB rocks and so does CNBC (really loved it a few years back.. don’t get much time for tv these days :( )
