Kaminey Life Partner

Thanks to my factory staff guy (Ashok bhai) who did not turn up for work on last Sunday and I got time for my dear ones. Lucky day for me, i can say. We (I, Anju, Ankita, Lekha, Mayank, Hardik and Kanu) were out for movie. We had car (thanks to bhaiya) and we all were having fun in & out of car. We headed towards Himalaya mall for entertainment, games, window shopping as we all do... We had bike race but phew couldn’t come first.... always third in race ;) Secret is race was among three people in race track... hahahahahaha... so first from last...

Initially we had lots of fun of movie “Kaminey” word itself is a slang and we all were having fun. “Chal Kaminey dekhne chalthe hai” “oye Kaminey dekh kar aaye” “Kaminey akele dekh kar aaye” and various other lines... We went for booking tickets for movie “Kaminey” but its certification “A” was not allowing Kanu for entry. Finally we choose “Life Partner” light comedy movie starring Govinda, Fardeen Khan, Genelia, Prachi and last but not least Tushar.

How about saying how was your “Kaminey” “Life Partner”? Sound interesting... Guy like me who can watch two movies in a row and see these two movie one after another and says “Hey friends, I saw “Kaminey Life Partner” It sounds interesting. And yes, don’t dare to doubt or say about my life partner. She is gr8, lovable and everything for me. Better mind it. :) ;)

As it is said in poster of Life Partner “Marriage will leave them all puzzled”. Puzzle theme was shown for introduction. Govinda (Divorce lawyer, who always tries to convince couples for divorce), Fardeen (salaried person in reputed bank of Cape town), Genelia (daughter of millionaire), Tushar (son of traditional conservative gujarati father having grown empire of pickle business in cape town) and Prachi (daughter of crorepati in Gujarat).

Movie starts with car having race with plane; Fardeen driving, Genelia (girlfriend) enjoying and backseat Tushar biting his nails. In between of race, Fardeen leaves the car sterring and kisses Genelia and both enjoying while Tushar’s heart is pumping out. After race completion, Fardeen explains the madness of race and says girl likes all this adventure; kissing while speeding car, etc. Our stupid Tushar always have diary to note down formula to impress gal in similar manner. This was formula no 150 for him.

Story is simple, light humoured and well acted. Govinda is shown flirting with goris, babes, convincing couple for divorce; movie had shown that govinda had convinced honeymoon couple and parents who came for divorce for their son, made up mind for divorce within a minute. We should appreciate his selling talent. Fardeen Khan loves his girlfriend (Genelia) very much. Always keep her happy, whatever Genelia does; be it singing, painting or interior. Fardeen comparison is also imaginative; Genelia singing is worse than beggar singing in Mumbai local train and painting is worse than painting done by blind; but he still wants to keep her happy so appreciate her in very goody goody way. Things changes after marriage.... incompatibility between two....

Tushar who is part of family pickle business; afraid of his traditional and I say too much conservative father. He believes in arrange marriage and notes down all formula of fardeen to try upon this future life partner and impress her. He says that he is keeping all romance for his wife and his virginity is gift for her. (oops.. sorry).. What a seedha saadha guy in cape town ! He marries Prachi who is daughter of croreparti (We can say; whose business is 10 times more than that of Tushar’s Dad). Again due to too much conservative and traditional behaviour of Tushar’s Dad, incompatibility arises.

Govinda is there for helping both. Divorce expert. He arises more feeling and making them strong for divorce. He gets it done without any delay. After few days, he falls in love and decides to marry and that time, he finds out the differences caused for divorce (without knowledge of fardeen and tushar). He invites all for marriage and then had plan for sorting out differences with the help of Genelia and all three friends (Govinda, Tushar, Fardeen) live happily after with their loved ones.

Thing that did not digest me was the climax. Story had beautifully wrote showing love, marriage, problem arises due to incompatibility,etc.. but ending was so fast and quick like anything... which looks like fast forward and very hurried up in ending love stories... Rest was fine and story was well executed.

I would rate 2 and half star out of five. It would be ok ok movie... nothing great would lose if you miss it....

I AM DREAMING WITH WIDE OPEN EYES........

Hello to all. It had been long, long, long time writing blog for me. Business had just kept me awake all the time and breathless round the clock. No time for extra activities ( L shh... waste of me). But hey, lot of learning and gaining in this long period. No regrets for my decision (quitting job and joining business) and should not regret too. (It's my life and want it to be bigger than king size)

If you dream big, your dream should make you wide awake and not sleep. If you dream big, dream with open eyes. If you dream big, sacrifice all fantasy you imagine. If you dream big, work towards it till it is reality. Dream more than ten times of your potential and give more than cent effort. Ok ok... no philosophy... let's come back friends... Sorry for interruption... yeah if this gave you inspiration; do reward me with your money :D

Business v/s job comparison is still juggling in my mind. Both have their own +ve & -ve aspects but who cares? For me, it's like "I DON'T CARE" ad punch line. Business is making me crazy, money minded and many more. I have changed... yeah changes happened in me. I am watching fewer movies, no dining out, no freaking out.... still friends, believe me, I am enjoying life as it is.... I am dreaming big and bigger than it should be... I do get complains, friends do complain me; sisters do complain me... yes they are right from their view but I can't help myself for time. I have to fight with time to become big and again dream bigger than it used to be.

Time is running fast and is like "tortoise and hare" story where "Hare" is time and "tortoise" is me, chasing each other; challenging each other and learning lots of new things in between. Slow and steady win the race though it takes more than 100 percent effort. Success do not comes without effort but it is also true that every effort, you give will not turn into success. Surely, I will raise cocktail of success and thank Nandu bhaiya (elder brother; who always inspires me with his messages), Yatin (friend; his success & hard work inspire me), Atika (life partner; who is always there to support me), Geeta Mamiji (maternal aunty; her struggle and fulfilling family needs inspire me) and all rich people whom I see while growing up (who always give me positive jealousy and zeal to become like them).

At last, leaving a thought for you my friends too....

Lie, Lie & Beyond Lie

We all are born to tell truth and do not understand the meaning of lie. Child do not understand what to say, how to say but he/she do say what he/she feels, sees, hear, experience; hence we say "bacche mann ke sacche" in other words; "kids are true to their heart".

Elders will preach "Do not say lie" "Always say truth" blah blah... but then as time goes, same elders will say them to say lie according to the situation (might be to hide their own mistakes or to hide truth which they do not want to reveal at home, etc). Children might not understand the difference between the two (truth vs lie). They just obey/follow elder instruction but then this lead them to say lie and thus journey begins of saying lie, lie and beyond lie.

Our own childhood days; we use to say lie to teachers if we have not done homework, we say lie to our parents to escape from school bcos we are afraid of exams or punishment from teachers, we say lie to get more time to play, to escape from tuition or study at home, to hide our low marks / percentage we get, and many other such things.

Lie for everything and anything we wish to do; be it to hide our mistake or be it to enjoy our life without elder’s knowledge or to indulge in bad habit due to peer pressure or for our own interest/entertainment. It may be bunking classes, watching C grade movie, smoking or drinking, meeting our GF/BF without parent’s permission, spending lavishly, etc...

We say lie for love, for own mistakes we want to hide, to protect ourselves or someone who is dear & near to us, to achieve something great, to boost our image or heighten our pride status...
Lie is nothing but defence (for hiding our own mistake, etc.); fun (to meet lover, indulge in bad habits for our own entertainment without other knowledge, etc.); cheat (for trade or business, to backstab our own enemy, etc.); protection (for our own dear ones, giving someone chance to improve, etc.); happiness ( to give our dear ones feeling of being special to you). There are many excuses, reasons and in fact seasons too for saying lie and lie and beyond lie. Lie too has flipside of coin. One is darker side (defence, fun, cheat, etc.); while other is brighter side(protection, happiness, etc.).

Navjeevan Express - Journey to Ahmedabad

Sun woke up at 7am and sun rays touching earth. I too finally woke up with a new beginning of my life and moving forward to new direction of my life. Got ready, said final or partial bye to all my dear one and boarded my train. Train send me back to childhood days when I along with my family use to travel in train. Nowadays, I was travelling by air for long distance (say Chennai to Ahmedabad). I had reservation in AC Coach and got a seat where 7 kids were heading towards Ahmedabad with lots of spirit and fun (they were participating in sports event). I too was enthused seeing their masti, fun and wow their UNO game caught my childhood imagination. I couldn’t stay much over there as kid's coach requested me to exchange seat (from B1 compartment to B3 compartment).

I took my luggage (my laptop bag & airbag) and headed towards B3 (my new seat number 17). Surprisingly, B3 compartment was not at all crowded (I mean out of 72 seats only 10-15 seats were occupied). Initially I thought, passenger will come in later stations but it was not the case. I was all alone in my row i.e. from 17-24 seat number, I was all alone. To add more loneliness to it, I didn’t brought any of my mobile (Airtel & Reliance).

Journey starts with all alone with my thoughts, laptop, business magazines and yes few cockroaches :). Weather outside was so fine and so fascinating (that you will fell in love with it). It was raining all the way and weather was soothing. I was like fingers on my lips for whole two days (except calling tea guy "ek chai dena" or coffee guy "ek coffee"; I think a bit cheating is allowed, right). I was going through magazines and trying to figure out which article in which magazine is worth reading for me and then after going through all the 5 magazine, I found only 3 magazine are worth reading. I kept all the magazine aside for a while and thought to take nap.

It was now around 4pm after a nap and having hot coffee; mind is so refreshed and says wow, lets read magazine with fresh outlook. Took magazine and then another two and half hour went like nothing. I mean it was 6:30pm by the time I finished one magazine (explaining about 21st century organization, Need of leaders vs manager, etc.). Some elder came there and want to play cards as at their seat ladies were having snacks for themselves. I was interestingly watching their game and listening to their gujarati jokes. Train Ticket Examiner came once again and these gujarati folks asked him "when are these other people going to come ? " even me in back of mind was curious to know the answer. He said "Bhusawal, Jalgaon and like stations"). That’s means whole night I am all alone, one day all alone with no contact to outside world. You and your thoughts. (It was like Rajan standing and saying me "this is what mastermind is" you and your thoughts are left all alone; no outside world distracts you for a second too)

I was just thinking that these 36 hours journey (yeah, these long 36 hours) was any productive to me or rather say have I done any productive work? Answer to this question may be only reading that magazine was productive and to add little I wrote this blog as its interest me. Okay just cut this crap. I am on vacation ( I mean these 36 hours vacation) then why on hell I am trying to bring productiveness of these. Magazine reading has left a lot in my mind, I guess.

This Navjeevan Express is related to me from my childhood. I use to come to Chennai on my summer vacation on this train and back to our town (Jetpur) by same train. We use to enjoy a lot. People, stations, chai wala, hawkers, and many other small thing. We (me and my sisters) use to fight for window seat and then enjoy the scenery outside. When I got shifted to Chennai, I use to be so excited with train ticket as I am going to meet my parents and sisters. I do remember the journey with my close and best of all friend "Yatin". We enjoyed a lot a trip.

This is after 2 long years, I am travelling again by Navjeevan express. All my old memories are flashing one by one in front of my eyes and touching to my heart, This is true but cant ignore the fact that this all was possible only because I had not brought my mobile; else I would be talking on phone and these memories would have fade away from my eyes and me getting lost with my fiancée, friend or near one in present or future gossip.

Money Hai Toh Honey Hai

Back to theatre again.... I am real movie freak... whatever you say.. I choose this movie over "Mission Istanbul" being that action movie and I am sure that latter movie will give you headache and nothing else from it and even promos were not so promising.. This movie starring Govinda, Haniska, Upen, Aftab, Celina, Manoj & Esha (for song), Kim & Ravi (for minor or say crisp role).... Thought to be light comedy movie but turned out to be serious movie with bit comic scene....

Movie starts with no sense of title song.. "only tune i.e. Money hai toh honey hai" is quite humming lyrics but rest of line or lyrics is all bouncers... i mean head ache.. Starts with mad prem chopra.. he is mad.. and about to die and looking for heir who can take over his entire business empire... his lucky number is 6 so he wants to select 6 heirs to takeover... with no logic, no sense, nothing.. this guy select 6 mobile numbers and becomes happy as he got heirs for his business empire...

and you can guess 6 heirs.. brief about them

Govinda -- rich guy careless son. who dont care but entertainment with dad hard earned money (dream to enjoy whole life without tension but with entertainment and entertainment)

Aftab --- working in ad agency but his ideas are taken as bull shit and crap, seen as loser in office (dream to open his own ad agency)

Celina -- work for fashion design, designs clothes but tag is of famous fashion designer (dream to open her own fashion production house)

Upen --- struggling model... who works for low grade product model.. (dream to be top model & brand ambassador like saif, shahrukh)

Haniska -- TV serial actress.. (dream to be top actress of big banner movies)

Manoj --- unsuccessful businessman.. who loses his money but happy because he got some experience out of it.. (dream to make it big one day in business....)

Movie is simple and nothing to do with comedy or sense... Prem chopra is about to die and selects this lucky 6 heirs to take over... these 6 starts dreaming only to find out that prem chopra whose empire is about 1000 crores is in debt of 1600 crores.. these 6 people capabilities of themselves and join together to save the company and their lives and live their dream....

Ganesh is testing your patience, comic sense, or say every bit of sense u have in ur head for first half to complete and testing continues till the end of movie.. I was having no clue where the movie is heading, where is going, where it is tailing.. songs are forced inside the story.... except govinda, ravi and manoj (comic role) did justice to role.. u will find quite irritating and no sense in their head. lot of over acting...

If you guys/ gals are looking for comedy in this movie then forget it.. It's all about Money, Honey.... if u dont have value for ur money, u can waste it on this movie and still spend money for headache pills afterwards... and yes if u want revenge with your friend. u can recommend him/her to watch movie.... He/She will definitely have headache, will scratch each and every hair out of head, etc.... I would rate only 1 star out of 5... (dont watch type)
