B+

Couple of days back, on a Monday morning at work, a colleague of my groaned a very familiar groan and said, "Oh!, it's Monday again". But as negative as the comment was, the reply to that from another colleague bowled me over. Whether he meant what he said or just said it as one of those off-the-cuff wise remark is not the point here. Anyways, the reply went like this..."Look at the bright side. You are one day closer to Friday". Now this is what I call a positive attitude.:-)

Am I a person who always thinks positive? As much as I would like say, "Yes", unfortunately I'm not. But, now a days, I try to consciously follow the motto - Be Positive - which fortunately runs in my blood too. It would be interesting to see how long and how often will I be able to "stick to ..." of motto.

100 Years [१०० साल]

Yesterday, I received a heartwarming wish from a friend of mine "जीयो... १०० साल तक जीयो" which made me glad and sad at the same time. Glad that I was of some help but sad because I was not sure if it was blessing or a curse.

One thought led to another and out came following -

रहेंगे जब ना दांत या ना बाल
अन्दर चले जायेंगे जब दोनों गाल
सिकुड़ गई होगी जिस्म पे जब खाल
चल पाएंगे जब वो मतवाली चाल

क्यों चाहिए ऐसे १०० साल?
नहीं चाहिए ऐसे १०० साल

खाने में जब पियेंगे सिर्फ़ दाल
[जब बच्चे कहेंगे]
करदो हवाले अपना सारा माल
[और वो जब पूछेंगे]
पिताजी, अब और जीयोगे कितने साल?
खड़े होंगे तब ऐसे कही सवाल

क्यों चाहिए ऐसे १०० साल?
नहीं चाहिए ऐसे १०० साल


Rahenge Jab Na Daant Ya Na Baal
Andar Chale Jayenge Jab Dono Gaal
Sikhud Gayi Hogi Jism Pe Jab Khaal

Chal Na Payenge Jab Vo Matwaali Chaal.


Kyon Chahiye Aise 100 Saal?

Nahin Chahiye Aise 100 Saal


Khane Me Jab Piyenge Sirf Daal
[Jab Bachche Kahenge]
Kardo Hawale Apna Saara Maal
[Aur Jab Poochenge]
Pitaji, Ab Aur Jeeoge Kitne Saal?
Khade Honge Tab Aise Kahi Sawaal

Kyon Chahiye Aise 100 Saal?
Nahin Chahiye Aise 100 Saal

So would you want to stick to your gun (read life) for 100yrs? Becoz, in this matter, I am not sure if I am "stick..."

'A Wednesday' that made my day.

Yes! I am talking about a bollywood movie - 'A Wednesday'.

I wish it was in theaters in my city. I wish I hadn't watched a downloaded - even though it was a good quality - print. I wish..oh! well. Director Neeraj Pandey, forgive me mate. But I would definitely make it up to you by buying the DVD.

A Wednesday? = Amazing Wednesday
A Wednesday? = Awesome Wednesday

A Wednesday? = A-Simply-Superb Wednesday

A Wednesday? = AnupamKher's/Naseer's Wednesday

A Wednesday? = ActorsGoodButActressBad Wednesday

A Wednesday? = ANineOutOfTen Wednesday

No review can do justice to this movie. So don't try to read about the movie anywhere. Just watch it. But, if you have to read a review before/after watching the movie, then you cannot go past देसी पन्डित...:-)

I am not a qualified movie critic (are there any?) but I liked the movie and I am "sticking..."
