falling in love with "the shawshank redemption"

Today I was at my cousin’s place and was watching TV. Suddenly while scanning the channels I found the Movie The shawshank Redemption being telecasted on UTV movies. I watched this movie before also in NSIT and I liked it a lot. So, I again started to watch it.
I really enjoyed the movie and I can surely say that I love this movie. I will say that this is one of the brilliant works. I didn’t see any movie from director Frank Darabont before. The movie was not a big hit, though I still don’t know why, but it received favourable reviews from critics. I would say that the movie is not about a prisoner. But it is about two great friends-Andy and Red.
There are certain instances where I really enjoyed the dialogues and scenes too. Like when Red initially says that Hope is a dangerous thing. It can make a man insane. And then later in the end of the movie, Andy tells him that Hope is a good thing. May be the best of all things and good things don’t die. I really love these dialogues by Andy. And also when after Andy’s escape from the prison, Red says that some birds are not meant to be caged because their feathers are too bright to fly.
The music throughout the movie is slow and soft and it directly penetrates inside you and makes you numb. I loved its music too. How often when you start your new life you invite your old accomplice or your friend to be a part of your new life? This thing has been shown here and it really creates a great feeling of a relationship called FRIENDSHIP.

Happy bday to me :)

Today is my Birth day 11/11. I love this date also because of the combination of four 1s. This is the first time I’m explaining my Birthday on my blog. So I want to tell all in detail.
So yesterday 10/11, 11.30pm, I was sitting in my room and thought to change and put on some heavy clothes because I was frightened thinking about the start of the birthday. So I tried two inner wears instead of one, weared my very tight jeans with tight pockets and kept wallet in one of the pockets behind and hanker chief in the other in order to save my ass anyhow. And finally the clock ticked 12 and I was dragged to the common area of my floor. But process of my birthday bums got delayed as my best friend P called to wish me. After that I don’t think I should explain :(. Everyone from my friend circle including A, N, AM, R, NS, S and AJ tried their best kicks on my soft bottoms. By experiencing today’s bums, I think I was treated too gently in NSIT. Let me say that staying in NITIE on your birthday is one of the very daring tasks to do.
Later on when this mental and physical torture was over, I was dragged towards cake cutting ceremony and whole cake was applied on my face leaving my unidentified. But in all those moments I really enjoyed alot and will cherish these moments forever. Since it was raining hard, so we couldn’t go to Nescafe for more celebration.
In the morning, I woke up by my dad’s call and it was so sweet hearing his voice and wishing me. Thereafter my sisters and mom called me followed by many other friends.
Rest of the day was quite normal as I was in my cosy room due to heavy rains in aamchi Mumbai. A cyclone was predicted today and that’s why I was advised by mom to not to go outside. But as usual who wants to stay inside on his/her birthday? So we also planned to celebrate it in Hiranandani and went to mantra-a good restaurant with Chinese chicks to greet you :). I wore my new spykar shirt, new fastrack watch I bought especially for my birthday and also my new specks for style. There we were in a que to get a table for 12 people. So we waited and still enjoyed alot by clicking photographs, gossiping and also playing with the ballons (sounds crazy! But we did it :P). And like this, the birthday came to an end leaving me sad and I’m waiting for the next birthday to come.
Actually I really feel proud on my birthday not because it’s a special day but because I’m a scorpion which is considered to be very different from all zodiac signs. It feels great that I share my birthday with Demi Moore and Aryan Khan(SRK’s son) and this scorpion sun sign with some of the very renowned personalities of this world like Bill Clinton, Leonardo di caprio, Indira Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Aishwarya rai and at last but not at least SRK-my idol. I don’t know why people feel frightened with scorpions. Even sometimes I don’t understand. Actually I love the qualities possessed by me and also hate some qualities due to which I’m hated by the world.
I found the following information about scorpions on web:
“Scorpio is the symbol of sex and Scorpios are passionate lovers, the most sensually energetic of all the signs. Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac. Even when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior. They are like the volcano not far under the surface of a calm sea.
Scorpio romance
You are among the best lovers, instinctively knowing what your partner wants. You are intense and passionate and none of your lovers will ever forget you. You will sweep many off with your magnetic charm. You will rarely distinguish between a passing fancy and true love. For you, it will always be a passionate involvement. Scorpios can also be very jealous and will go to any lengths to claim what they feel is rightly theirs. You will find your ideal life partner in fellow water signs - Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. It is the water signs that understand you best”.

Breaking news : I'm a FLIRT

As I wrote in my previous post that I went to my place on Diwali so I met a friend. Frankly saying I made a friend. So it all started with her initiating first on my way to Saharanpur. Since, she is also pursuing her PG course so I didn’t missed the opportunity to form a network as we are told in MBA that networking is very important for managers. I took her cell no. And she gave it being unhesitant. Later on it all started with messages etc. but after so many messages and all I got a comment that “I’m a FLIRT”. On this I was really shocked as I never had more than 1 girl friend in the past. Later on, the statement was revised as “I’m GOOD AT GIRLS”. Again I was forced to think that do I have personality that attracts girls?? But I honestly answered the question as unfortunately I’m similar to any other guy on this earth (poor me :().
Then from where she got this instinct that I am good at girls? Really don’t know. So like this, in these 15 days we managed to become good friends. But still she carries a notion that “I’m a FLIRT”. So the moral of the story is that don’t make FEMALE friends on journey. You will definitely get a tag of being a FLIRT or GOOD AT GIRLS :).
Secondly, now a days I’m not having anything to write. I’m actually developing a feeling that blogging is just waste of time and that’s the reason due to which sometimes even I have events to explain but still I don’t make any effort to write them here. The fact is not that I’m very busy but I’ve become ultra lazy who only listens to songs and enjoys gossiping with friends. I even miss meditation sometimes. I hate this routine. I want to do something constructive. Somebody please help...
Also read a nice quote in TOI “you die when you stop dreaming”. So have big dreams because:

“your daily dreams and work,
Can grow the wings of luck.
Every little effort makes you fly,
If you dream to go high and high”.

Pretty woman...

I believe home is the best place in this world. You must be thinking about the reason behind this statement. Actually, I went to my place on Diwali and really enjoyed the stay. Never before I enjoyed the stay at home so much as this time. The food cooked by my mom was really relishing. After almost two months I was eating at home and it was fun. After all, as in movies we say “maa ke haath ka khana”. I and my friend A left the campus @ 12 noon to catch the train from Panvel. Since his seat was not confirmed so he stayed with me. Actually we had fun in whole journey. We had plenty of time and nothing to do. So I even convinced him to watch my all time favourite movie KANK. I don’t know whether he enjoyed it or not but he didn’t criticise.
Later on, our train reached New Delhi @ 2.30 pm and A went to his home in Delhi. And I was alone now and had to catch my train to Saharanpur. Since it was festive season, so lot of rush was there and I somehow managed to get a seat adjacent to one uncle by making my innocent face (I’m, actually, expert in doing that to grab the seat). Later on, one couple came and asked me to exchange seat with them and like this I got a strategic location from where I could have a view of two girls sitting near me. I concentrated on girl sitting adjacent to me who was really pretty. I wanted to talk to her but she was with her boyfriend or brother. So I peacefully dropped this great idea. But I don’t know why I was consistently staring at her. She was really sweet. I usually don’t expect such things happening to me on that route. But I really enjoyed the journey by gazing her. Hope to see more such journey pleasure in the near future.

no title... :(

So I’m back after a long time as I was busy with academics etc. of MBA. After all MBA is not an easy job. There are various things I would like to tell you about. So let’s begin:
1. My 1st module exams got over on Friday and with that we all finished 1/6th of MBA :). It felt great also and bit tense too. Tense because from tomorrow (22nd September) company’s pre placement talks are going to start and from 5th October we’ll be having summer intern process. It will be all hectic schedule, at least for 20 days. A fight will start among us. May all win within those crucial 5 days.
2. Few days back I was surfing some astrological site (yes, fortunately or unfortunately I believe in all these things). I was looking at perfect pairs in terms of zodiac signs. It was given that scorpions pair best with Pisces, Aquarius because of common watery nature. Suddenly I started thinking that do people think of all these before falling in love. It’s too weird. I was thinking that if a girl proposes you and you ask her what is your zodiac sign? It sounds so strange.
3. Today, I was looking at some news on net regarding a TV show sach ka saamna which stated that a 32 year old woman committed suicide after watching the show. It happened because the woman correlated her own life with the person in the show. I felt so pity on that woman who destroyed her life just by the influence of a TV show. How can you take decisions of your life by getting influenced from TV shows like this? Even I’m influenced by the movies but only up to certain extent to which I’ll not lose anything in life. After all TV is meant for entertainment and not for destruction.
4. Finally today I got my visiting cards. Actually if you are a member of some forum or committee, then you can have your visiting cards, showing your designation. Since I’m in SPIC MACAY, so I also got the visiting cards. The moment I saw them, it felt so different. It may be a small thing for people having work experience but for me it was like feeling of complete professionalism. I cherished the moments when I used to carry my Dad’s visiting cards in order to influence my friends in school. But today I carry my own tag with me. I’ve come a long way from those sweet childhood memories to professional PG course. Time is changing; people are changing and what not. On this I remember when our English teacher said in the class that:
School days are the golden days. They are never repeated.

blah blah blah...

From past few days, I’m living in a dilemma i.e. whether to start smoking or not?? It may sound really foolish. But the environment I’m living in is mostly dominated by smokers. You will hardly find a guy who is a non-smoker. Someday or the other I have to go with my friends to accompany them in smoking and stand like a dumb outside the shop when they are smoking. Let me tell you that this excellent B-school has smoker’s hub just outside the main gate of the campus. But I’m very sure that I’ll not start this. But the feeling of taking each single breath (gush) of smoke with head up in the air really fascinates me.
Next thing is the habit of drinking. People say that you must drink since you will enter the corporate world and there it is the part of life. So we should start at least social drinking. But I don’t agree on this because no one is going to force you for this in your future. People only require a reason to drink. Sometimes I think how a person could taste that bloody thing which tastes like hell. Again it’s my perception where still some people think it’s leisure of life. But I don’t agree on this.

I'm Mr. Lonely and dumb :(

These days I’m feeling very lonely. The reasons behind this are many. Actually I’m a shy kind of person due to which I usually don’t approach to people in order to talk to them. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to talk to people. I would love to talk to people but the problem is people take me in a wrong way. They think I’m very much egoistical and that’s why I don’t talk to them. I really don’t know what to say and how to say aimlessly. Many times it happens that I have to go class alone. It really disturbs my state of mind.
People in our batch got selected in various committees, forums, etc. But I’m nowhere. This is another reason which haunts me. People have formed groups. They enjoy in those groups. Again I’m alone in my hostel room. I want to play TT, badminton, want to roam in aamchi Mumbai and what not. But people are busy with their groups. This shows how dumb I am who couldn’t even get in a single committee or forum. Actually the committee which I wanted didn’t selected me and I didn’t applied in which I would have got through. In the end, again I’m a loser. I really don’t know what goes wrong with me in this journey of life where even if I perform well still I don’t win. It seems I should start loving failures and hating success.
