Chuk De!!!



"Sattar minute. Sattar minute hain tumhaare paas. Shaayad tumhari zindagi ke sabse khaas sattar minute. Aaj tum achha khelo ya bura, yeh sattar minute tumhe zindagi bhar yaad rahenge. Aur kaise khelna hai, aaj main tumhe nahin bataoonga. Bas itna kahoonga ki jao aur yeh sattar minute jee bharkar khel lo. Kyunki iske baad aane wali zindagi mein chahe kuch sahi ho ya na ho, chahe kuch rahe ya na rahe, tum haaro ya jeeto, lekin yeh sattar minute tumse koi nahin chheen sakta. Koi nahin. Toh maine socha ki is match mein kaisa khelna hai aaj main tumhe nahin bataaoonga balki tum mujhe bataoge. Khelkar. Kyunki main jaanta hoon, ki agar yeh sattar minute is team ka har player apni zindagi ki sabse badhiya hockey khel gaya toh yeh sattar minute khuda bhi tumse waapas nahin maang sakta. Toh jao. Jao aur apne aap se, is zindagi se, apne khuda se, aur har us insaan se jisne tumhe... tumpar bharosa nahin kiya, apne sattar minute chheen lo."

Take a bow, SRK! an entire 2.50 hour movie without twitching the left eyebrow, without hamming, without being called Rahul, Raj or Aryan... and yet captivating the nation.. not bad!

To say that i loved this movie would be an understatement.. but dialogues like the one above have made this movie more than just another sports movie... the girls are splashing on every possible channel... the haryanvi jat, the chandigarh sex bomb, the patiala di kudi. :)

Well Done, SRK..

My Friends.... My life...

I am a great believer in friendship... much more than family... for the simple reason that i have chosen these people... who have stood by me and have cared for me.. i have spent the best moments of my life with these guys...

Tomorrow happens to be friendship day.. i am not sure friendship needs a day to be celebrated on... we should have a friendship year :)..

Anyways.. here it goes .. an ode to all my friends.. thanks guys.. you are my strength..

In the order of appearance .. here it is...

1. Rana -- The first semblence of a friend i ever had... an emotional wreck and my confidente.. he is style personified :)
2. Vishal - My carbon copy... literally and figuratively... and thats the reason why we know exactly whats going on in each other's mind.. just that i wish i had spent more time with him.
3. Gaurav- The original dude.. when i was in college... he was my style icon.. we connected ever so much in college.. i really like you dude... even though you pissed me off big time on so many occassions... somewhere even you will agree.. we are still alike in so many different ways...
4. Sumana- What do i say about you girl.. wish you someday realize what friendship truly means... god bless...
5. Srimoyee- The bong Bombshell... :).. I just adore the fact that she is what she is.. and that is what i have learned from her... to be what you are... to hell with the world.. you rock...and i love that about you...
6. Nidhi- If there ever was perfect girl... she is the one.. i have known her for 3 years now... and i cant pinpoint even one flaw in her nature.. and yes.. i have to say this... you have taught me what friendship truly means... what it is to have a true friend.. and thats you... thanks tapori :)
7. Anu-- My Mirror.. the one who person sings my life's story back to me... and keeps me grounded... i have never met a girl as strong as you...and yet as much senti as i am... Life would've been very different( and difficult) without you... Be around.. cant afford to let go... :)

so.. there it is... seven people in my life who have influenced me and have improved me as a person.. there's a long way to go... we all have just started we.. and this journey will be wonderful... bcoz you are gonna be with me..

Of course.. there are many friends who are my very close buddies... and they know how much they mean to me...

I love you all.
