Me, ADOBE & Happiness…“Khoob jamega rang jab mil baithenge hum teen yaar”


Ok! Don’t be astonished seeing the title…clarifications for the title will be delivered later.

Recently, Master Ananth Gupta (s/o Naresh Gupta) was kidnapped by a part timer TV actor. Your first question – Who is Naresh Gupta and why did the TV actor deceide to kidnap his child? Naresh Gupta is the Managing Director of Adobe operations, INDIA…and believe me it’s a very big post!!

The boy was successfully kidnapped and also successfully rescued by our superb U.P. police (who even managed to catch that TV actor who kidnapped Mr. Ananth!!). And as expected, as soon as Ananth returned home, all MEDIA rained towards him and asked him some really challenging questions….like “aapko khana diya mummy ne?”, “aapko poochi di didi ne?”, “aapko uncle pyaar karte the?”, etc…etc…but the Master gave them the best answers possible.

Ananth’s interview was telecasted all afternoon under the sub-heading ‘ExclusivE’.

A couple of days after….while I was surfing all through various news channels, I came across PEE NEWS. I rate that channel as un-viewable for myself. But today it successfully caught my attention (again that ‘ExclusivE’ stuff)....READ FURTHER

Kabul Express!!...a bit different

Tons of tributes to Yash Raj (YR) first up before starting my review. He has started a unique transformation in the movie industry now. How? Well now with 90% of multiplexes not showing YR movies (lately Dhoom 2, Kabul Express), the moviebuffs are benefiting in two ways. Firstly, is the obvious reason of Monetary Gains, thanks to him, the cost of a movie ticket is now Rs 60 (normal upper stall rate) instead of Rs 150 (flat Delhi’s multiplex rate). Second reason is more important! the so-called ‘good crowd’ is now shifting to these halls…good for non-earning college goers ;)...READ FURTHER

Review of 'SEPTIC' songs

Although I haven’t heard the album in all….but still reviewing what’s available on the site :-

Firstly, the name of the band – ‘SEPTIC’ the name is a very well thought one and matches perfectly with the band’s blend of songs. It encrypts in it the pain of an unhealed wound whose screams are not heard by any lived soul. The band’s first album ‘INJECTED’ is again very well named and contains three songs – Filth Of Fate’, Alive’ and ‘I Feel So Small. Actually the idea of namely there first upbringing as ‘INJECTED’ is quite interesting (just think on bio-scientific lines…If you go to a doc with a ‘SEPTIC’ wound, the first thing you expect is to be ‘INJECTED’).X

Review of songs (in ascending order of rating points)

1) Filth Of Fate – The starting is really cool with awesome bass and drums combo. But as soon as the vocals, drums shade away and seriously could have been better. The vocals score in between (esp. when that “aai aai” comes…very well sung). It’s a fast paced song but unfortunately drums in the song (apart of the starting) aren’t that good, which u’ll expect after listening to the first 15 sec. Well you expect that after hearing these type of songs, some energy is pumped into u, but unfortunately I didn’t feel anything like that. But do look out for the starting of the song….terrific bass!!
Rating – 7/10 (so-so)

2) I Feel So Small – ‘Soothing feel’ is what you get once you hear it. Melody of the song is very sweet and composition is very nicely done. If I am forced to find a loophole in the song…again the ears points to drums…but then I am forced too. The USP of the song lies in the last line of every stanza “Yet I Feel So Small”…very true and sung class-apart.
Rating – 8/10 (worth it)

3) Alive – For me this song is Septic’s masterpiece. While I was hearing it for the first time, I extended the song and the first words I heard was “….Alive; for u”…and immediately my thoughts went to “U know its true; everything I do, I do it for u”…So Far So Good…Bryan Adams…what a comparison first up!! Alive is a low paced number and well written. The lyrics perfectly match the ‘Septic’ theme of the band. Well! since just 2 min for Alive is provided on the site, I reserve my rest of reviewing for future wishing the band ‘SEPTIC’ all the healing wishes from my side..lol
Rating – 8.5/10 (you won’t be disappointed if u store this one on our mobile…as I have…with a hope that the full songs will be available soon)...CHEERS

GPL vs EPL

Amid all the shit on TV, I just saw one more…sympathy for my much poor eyes. While surfing, I just encountered a unique useless time-pass show…the title being GRL (I presume that, since no clarity was given to the title). The show was being aired on MBV (Masala BV)…may be a sister channel of MTV.

The modus operandi of the serial was simple :- “how to flirt and its gains”.

As the nautanki started, a girl named ‘Mayuri’ introduced herself. According to her, she was almost a dentist. She also informed us about her SEX appeal and disclosed that it lay in her eyes (oof, wish my eyes were deaf and the ears were blind…at least I would have rendered myself from the self-praise of Mayuri). She also blabbered about why should we watch the rest of the show!

OK…breaking news…I just figured out what GRL (if it was the title ever) meant; it simply meant a GIRL.
Two vellas (Shakti and Max…READ FURTHER...
