Twitter the fastest growing social networking site / micro -blogging idea is fancy. Probably, helpful to those whose job is to keep track of other’s statuses. However, the popularity it has gained is incredible.
I like such innovations, more for the idea than its actual use…
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
Amusing piece of economic-fraudulence there Aijaz Khan. The 29-year-old was once a friend of Bapuji!
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.
Placed an order for my first D-SLR today. Started reading manuals now. Its a Canon XSi Rebel DSLR. Ain’t I excited.
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.
