Attended the debut inauguration of the Bath Indian Society, wasn’t impressed. Found that most people are overly pretentious and attention seekers.
Totally appreciate the events that Dad And Mum organized while I was young…

Twitter over Texts
Twitter over texts do work in the UK as well now… Perhaps, the only advantage I see of O2 signing on Monopolised contracts for the Apple iPhone

Con Man Strikes!
Amusing piece of economic-fraudulence there Aijaz Khan. The 29-year-old was once a friend of Bapuji!

Wasn’t as bad!
The dentists’, the first time, I must admit, wasn’t bad after all… A little sting, and a few drills, perhaps, I had expected a lot more pain.

Impressive movies this autumn
There were 2 really impressive movies this end-of-summer.
Firstly, Taken,
action, thriller, suspense flick introducing a new star on the block. I was very impressed with the action through out the movie. Though there weren’t many gadgets like the Bond or Batman movies, the plots was quite gripping. It also revealed a network of pimps who walk around Italy, and their motives. Although, I wasn’t able to confirm the genuinity, the captives, and captors were portrayed very close to reality. Of course, like any of the other spiced-up movies, there wasn’t much logic to what was happening.
It always amused me how much Jason Bourne could trick things up to his own advantage but then, people like him were either professional tricksters or the reel did the works.
Compared to a Stallone or Schwarzenegger, the action was lesser but then the dialogs were delivered much precisely and coherently.
The second movie that caught my attention was Ramchand Pakistani, which by the name, is a Pakistani movie revolving round a family of 3. The female protagonist, Nandita Das, has always been on the top of my favourites, I’ve always appreciated her movies as they stand out of the crowd, and have quite some meaning.
Ramchand Pakistani, was a very simple movie, that showed suppresed emotions, silver-linings, the poor of the capitalist, the sufferings of innocent. It was quite a bridge between Indian movies and the Pakistani ones.
By and large, people in Pakistan watch most of the Indian movies, and Indians don’t watch any Pakistani movies. Perhaps, the movies don’t display a lot of vigor. Mehreen Jabbar’s precision to details was commendable. Especially, the moments when the little boy in captive is in his adolscence and has the hots for the jailor.
Looking forward for more interesting movies to come.
Some movements
All the initial blaaahs… been a loong time and all that crap…
Moved my place of stay, and what is more interesting is the reason for change. Bloody English scum-bags. They pretend to be confrontational but are eventually sissies who cant even stand a serious talk.
The landlord of the place i was living before, Neil Alder-Hindon, claimed I had scratched his walls, and broken bricks from his walls. The menacing guy pushed me to leave in a matter of 3 days. Well, I did sort out things vividly, but it was quite shocking to be kicked out of a place you’d been living for a year, and thought you’ve been good all through out.
Anyone, tracing this blog for 117 Linslade Street, take my word, don’t live there… The kitchen ceilings are all broken, and above all, the landlord is a crappy loser!!

…traffic sense… in response
One of my older posts was received by a couple and had been commented upon.
As Murali rightly suggested that it is more of a number game, that you would easily notice and appreciate the international driving disciplines. Perhaps, it takes as much longer convincing so many more people to be more thoughtfull.
On the other hand, Adhiraj Joglekar, is suggestive that it is people’s responsibility to be socially aware while driving. His innovations in drawing people towards a safer road is interesting. It is certainly worth browsing thru the videos and glancing through the crosswords. It is rather considered a socio-cultural issue now more than a per-individual attitude.
