B2BC (Back 2 Being Crazy)!

B2BC - Well as the post says, unlike traditional meaning of B2B and B2C, B2BC stands for Back to Being Crazy! Well this time, yday i thought of making it to Mungaru Male once again and HUDUGAATA back2back (7:15 and 10:00 PM shows).

As said in one of the previous blog, i cudnt get ticket sometime back. So i tried online and it was quiet easy to book and get the ticket. Only complaint about this process is, even after booking the ticket, one needs to stand in the Very BIG queue @ PVR to get the printed tickets to enter into the Screening Hall! As i had enough time and relatively not a lengthier queue, this wasn't a problem this time! But am sure it wud be if u have arrived late and see a VERY LONG queue!

Though it was for a second time, i enjoyed MUNGAARU MALE totally! Couldnt resist to eat all sorts of junk food as I was going to start a WEEK long CRASH DIET program starting today! [;)] Came out of the hall @ 10PM and decided to try if i can get tickets for HUDUGAATA! It was available and i got in with little excitement as i was tired. But eagerness to finish off Ganesh's movie made me to hang out with the theater for some time! The little excitement which I had, completely melted within few minutes of the movie commencement! The reason being, everything appeared so SICK! Ganesh's acting was reasonably ok. At times it appeared very artificial! The plot though is a direct COPY of "A Journey into Woman's Heart" - Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, it lacks the narration style of the ORIGINALCOPY [:D]! As IDEA NAREN pointed out few days back, scenes appeared to end abruptly several times, which is definitely a NO-NO! The director SANJAY has to get some basic film making training!

The act of daring the director - producer duo possess claiming that it is their original script, is definitely laudable! Even the punch line A Romantic Journey, appears to have been copied from the DHKMN! In one of the songs, the tune appeared to have been cut directly from RAMANA GOGULA's number! The only PLUS point the movie has, is the beautiful Photography by Sathya Hegde! Narendra, swalpa avradhu rate yeshtu keLlhi sir...... Choreography is also really great! APART from 3 songs the movie is a TOTAL ZERO!

Incidentally the ticket number for Mungaru Male was K 10 and for HUDUGAATA was L 10. My lucky number appears to be 1. That was little pleasing amidst the chaos of HUDUGAATA!

Another thing i observed was in one of the songs the director friends YOGARAJ BHATT and SURI of DUNIYA fame has same location and same scene but with different actors as in Mungaru Male and DUNIYA! Accepted the fact they did so many things together being friends, is it really necessary to have the same scenes in a song for around 30 seconds? This trend initially i had observed in DIL and Aashiqui several years back. Was the choreographer the same (or is it really got anything to do with choreography?). I came out of the theater once the song Yeno ONthara was over, and time was sharp 12:15AM! Had a very sound sleep starting from 1:15 :)

BTW how are the snaps taken from my N95? [;)] Still the relation is going strong, VERY Strong! Guys switch over to NOKIA N-series!

KALMANE KOFFEE @ The FORUM with my N95!

Well, Today was one of the day of being upset for reasons unknown! My way of refreshing on such days is being all by myself, watching a movie, shopping for an unknown item, sipping coffee repeatitively.
I drove back home to make it to an appointment. Being very reluctant to make it to the appointment, i rang up the person and found he was running late. That excuse was good enough to postpone the appointment! This started getting me back into the moods... The cloudy weather was like a icing on the cake. I was trying to capture the rain thru my N95 for past 2 weeks, but the rain and I were never together. This time, it just tempted me without really raining or pouring. :D
I decided i will move towards PVR, as i had good number of movies waiting for me. Made it @ 3rd floor of 'The FORUM' sharp 6:55. I was gload to see the vacant KIOSK, I browsed thru the movies - first tried

• Hudugaata - booked
• Cheeni KUM - booked
• Shootout @ Lokhandwala - booked
• Mungaru Male - booked (i thought of seeing for the second time)
• Life in a Metro - booked (i thought of seeing for the second time)
• Aata - show was not there

I saw some gal waiting behind me to try her luck, I decided i will quit.
Went to SUBWAY, tried the Veggie Sandwich, Somehow i like the sandwiches of SUBWAY; they are really really good!
I felt it was too early to head back. Got into LANDMARK, spent almost an hour and picked up

• Enrique - INSOMNIAC - As of now it sounds good, bonus track of remix of HERO is great
• FLAVORS - an NRIs Desi movie which I had seen on STAR MOVIES, felt could be a good addition to my album
• METRO
• The BEST OF George Michael - DVD
• ASHANTI - RAIN ON ME - DVD
  Lately am trying to study the MUSIC Videos! :D

Incidentally after returning home and unpacking the CDs, i found the DVD ASHANTI - RAIN ON ME being missed in the packed item from LANDMARK. The guys have said they will sort out the issue tomorrow when i visit them. Am not sure what they mean by sorting the issue. They have to just give me another COPY!
After being exhausted at LANDMARK, i took the snap of this Ad, its a good work, but not sure how relevant it is, for the Perfume. (it appeared for a moment as a condom ad) :D

Got into Kalmane KOFFEE, it really looks great! I was the lone customer sitting there between 8:10 and 8:30. I wish i could have opened the other DVD rather than opening George Michael's and METRO CD and dirtying the place. Have to visit again tomorrow by which am sure i will burn some more cash! Hurriedly added few words on KALMANE like the earlier POST just to do justice for the TITLE! BTW the coffee tastes really very good! Better than the Jayanagar Kalmane! BTW all the images are being taken using my N95! N95 really ROCKS! If you are crazy like me, try N95, u will ROCK too! [;)]

Coffee @ Kalmane along with my Nokia N95!

I bought Second Nokia Phone in my life couple of weeks back. The first one has been several years back in the US which was really very cute! I donot remember anything(model, specs etc) of that phone. My first cell phone in Bangalore has been a decent Samsung model (i dont remember the model either) which was quiet expensive! Then i switched to LG reliance, for the only reason that i wanted (my Laptop) to be ONLINE 24X7, especially when i was travelling. This was some time in 2004 I guess!

Later, once i saw Motorola Phones, for reasons unknown, i fell in love and had the below models

• A760 - a LinuX Phone (use to SUCK)
• MPX200 - Win CE Phone (Lovely Phone - couple of my friends bought this bcoz of me!)
• E398 - Not a Smart Phone (Decent but Good, Lost during my last trip - probably a mexican house keeping maid stole!)
• V3i - the color looked pathetic (Dumb investment! It SUCKS! ONly difference from V3 is that it has additional storage, but some how it looks very bad to me!)
• Black RAZR - V3 - i just LOVE this! (For the Sleek & Sexy Looks!)
  

I kept on waiting for Moto Q for quiet some time (nearly 2 years since the time it was launched in US) but it never was anounced in India!

Lately i got fascinated abt capturing some moments of life through the lens, thats when i started looking seriously @ Camera Phones! When i say Camera Phones, i really mean quality Camera. Somehow i felt Motorola Phones donot have enough capability of camera functionality, thats when i started looking outside. I read good remarks on Nokia N93 and N93i. I went to the shop and asked the guy to show me N93i. The person after giving enough good info on N93i, showed me N95 and advised me to go for N95 and also added that N93i will be discontinued. I got confused and returned back. After looking at good reviews on N95, finally decided to go for it. Once i bought this, i am really in LOVE with this gadget, atleast till now!

This is ALL-IN-ONE gadget! Apart from Voice Call, SMS features the other features i seek in a device are

1. MP3 Player
2. Enough Storage (N95 has 1 GB)
3. Video Player
4. TV Out (Optional, but I always wanted this).

In addition to the above, I had this requirement (lately) of Camera capability! N95 has pleased me exceptionally WELL with all the features!

Though i started to write this blog to show the pics taken through N95. I thought i would give a brief overview of my journey thru different Cell Phones. One of my new friend, suggested me to try Picassa. Am equally amazed by the tool and the cool feature of automatically generating a Collage out of few snaps impressed me quiet a lot! The above image is a collage made in 5 seconds with the snaps taken using my N95!

BTW did I mention that N95 costs Rs. 32K? Well quiet a few of my friends thought i was MAD to buy this one, i defended saying that "being single and not having Luxury(?) of spending both Time / Money with the Spouse gives me FREEDOM to go for this". But am not yet quiet sure which one is better, may be I will update when i experience the other one!

BTW, there is this place called as KALMANE KOFFEE @ Jayanagar which is really very cool - this is just to make justice for the title of this POST! :)
