Have been off blogging for some days .. but will resume soon ... for now .. am at home .. Zurich can rest in peace for a few days, people can sleep in their rooms without having to worry about the laughter of a certain Indian guy living in Turnerstrasse 21.
Btw, the flight was great .. there were two Hindi movies in the flight ... Jaaneman and Khosla Ka Ghosla. Chose to start with the former 'coz of Preity Zinta :)
However, couldn't bear that one past the following few lines of the opening song
"Main Pareshan Hoon Ek Majboori Par
Hoga Gam Jaankar Saath Hoon Main Magar
Mujhko Rehna Padega Zara Doori Par
Sirf Do Hi Mahine Hai Seh Lo Agar
Mera Future Hai Teri Kasam
Mera Future Hai Jismein Piya"
I couldn't stand this even for Preity Zinta!
Anyway.. so then moved on to this other movie .. Khosla ka Ghosla .. this one was total fun. 2 hrs of total entertainment. A story about a typical middle class man KK Khosla who spends all his savings to build a "ghosla" to live in after retirement only to find it being possessed by a certain Mr. Kishan Khurana ... played by Boman Irani. And then it is upto the Khosla household to cheat back Kishan Khurana and get their house back. If Bollywood moved a step in the right direction with comedies like Hera Pheri and the MunnaBhai double, this one takes it a step further!
And yes, I don't know why ... but I listened to the last song "chak de phatte" of the movie at least 20 times ..maybe it just sounded too Indian .. or too Chandigarh'ian' :D
Old songs are not good for you. This "couldn't stand this even for Preity Zinta" feeling is exactly due to your "better" appreciation of music now.
ReplyDelete"Old songs are not good for you." .. kripya is pankti ka arth samjhaane ka kasht karenge?
ReplyDeleteYes, of course. Old songs make you appreciate the lyrics rather than the rhythm and music. Little by little you start listening to the words and then new songs seem (not true for all new songs of course) blander and then crappy.
ReplyDeletethe song was toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Chandigarh'ian
ReplyDeleteIf that is what you meant Chandan ... well .. its time you work on your communication skills .. I mean I am no good at it either, .. but aapka to jawaab hi nahi :)
ReplyDeleteyes Vipul ji ... I understand your emotions
