A bad saturday

I completely agree.. when the day is bad you just can avoid things going wrong. . 14th July'07.. a Saturday.. was the same for me. The sooner you get to know about such days.. the better for you. You should try to sleep as much as possible and thats exactly what I'm doing.

It started from a fight with a good friend, then pains started coming one by one.. with things not getting solved in office.. and new bugs coming up one by one. I realized this "Bad day" and decided to come back home and sleep. But how could any auto wala miss this wonderful opportunity, and even he washed his hands in 'bahti ganga'.. anyways I completely understand, it not his falut.. its just the day.. A bad saturday.. and according to kalpesh.. you should never work on these days specially Saturdays.. so I'm sleeping again.. hope I don't get any bad dreams now and this baddy baddy time ends with the sleep, and a good day begins tomm.

An edit : [ Thought when i was sleeping :)] Bad things should happen and bad days should come in life sometimes, as they will help you realize how to feel happy when good things happen to you. Otherwise if all days are good, you wont feel any difference.

Another eventful weeknd.. 3movies + accident + xbox

After frustrating airtel experience on friday.. the weekend went quite well... I saw 3 movies 2 in a row on saturday.. and one on sunday.. its like nirmal is 2nd home to us now.. so from next weekned we will try avoiding pvr/nirmal..
me and ravi woke up at around 1.. ordered food from nutan and had lunch.. surprisingly mota as well woke up by 3.. and we decided to go to gary's for lunch and called kela to come there too.. it was closed.. so we moved to great punjab.. manager dint want us to sit inside 'in ac'.. and told us to sit out.. we asked for menu and he said.. "bas Biryani milega".. we were like "lunch nahi karana to mana karde yaar".. we went to janta bakery thn and mota had lunch.. saw which movies we could see.. and only option was SIVAJI - The boss. the show was at 5, and it was already 4:40.. :).. kela came after we finished up eating everything.. and we asked him to come with us for moive.. and leave lunch..

Btw: boss = "bachelor of social service ;)"... with no subtitles and no idea what they were speaking we still enjoyed the movie..
* "khoool.. (cool)"...
* guitar fight..
* the way he moves coins between hands..
* the way he eats center-fresh :P..
* the way he moves gogs on his shaved head.. (yes shaved head :P)
were pretty cool.. we were still thinking where did he spent all the money he quoted.. and finally the last fight sequence came.. where producer used all the money he was left with.. thousands of 500/1000 rs notes were flying in air.. :)

Then we went to "leaking ccd" below for some shelter.. as it was pouring heavily.. and stayin there was no use.. so we went to cheers.. called salim and then decided to go for another movie.. "Zhoom Barabar Zhoom".. theater was completely empty.. other thn salim (who wanted to see pretty zinta and lara dutta) and mota.. who was in feel good state.. nobody enjoyed the movie.. i was out "orkutting/browsing" most of time(read 60%).. and when I went in back again.. with a news that.. moive is ok types after interval.. i soon realized that interval was already over :P.. well according to me.. "5 log paris/london ghumne gaye.. aur ye movie bana ke le aaye".. which had no story and only songs.. the only thing i liked in movie was "hey hansome" ringtone ;)



finally we came back home.. it was raining heavily and winds were blowing like anything.. creating a haunting sound (i stay on 13th floor.. so u can say a haunted house :P).. it was tough to open doors.. due to air pressure.. and they were banging as we opened windows.. we went to roof top (22nd floor) stayed ther for about 2hrs.. came back.. mota's bed was all wet.. donno how he managed to sleep on that.. that too till 3pm next day...



Sunday, we woke up at around 12, mota and kela were still sleeping.. we (me.. salim.. ravi) went to bread talk and had lunch.. came back.. mota was still sleepin and kela was cribbin.. "mujhe aaj to lunch kara do yaar".. :P .. mote ko infinite pain maarne ke baad.. mota was ready to move with us.. to nirmal again.. he did some shoppin at shoppers stop and we got tickets for "A chienese tall story".. well again this time whole theater was empty.. the movie (1hr 30mins) was the most arbit movie i had ever seen.. you could never predict what would be in the next frame.. was moving very very fast.. by the time.. we were able to understand a bit of what was going on.. it came to end.. things which i can remember were.. showing three fingers (for i love you :)).. the ugly girl's face.. and "i'll love you for a million years" magic dialog..


after movie we did some shoppin again at shopper's stop.. got xbox controler and nfs cd from cross roads.. had dinner at McD.. (i just had bread and potato.. the whole day.. in some or the other form..) it was again raining heavily when we moved out.. by the time we took auto.. we were all wet.. auto driver was awsome :P.. 1st time he dint see pot hole (not his mistake tho..) and peeche ka complete tyre was in it.. fight maarke.. me & ravi helped it come out.. just 1 min after that... he banged auto on a big stone lying in middle of road.. front tyre came out.. mudgard and glass were smashed badly.. thankgod.. nothing happed to us..

came back home.. inaugurated our XBOX360 :).. played nfs till 2:30.. i was the one with most wins.. and a record sprint time of (2:04:56) which i know will break soon.
So another eventful weekend (without playing poker) came to an end.. and we slept hoping that we wake up without catching any fever monday morning.

Airtel -121 : Customer Frustating Center

Well i really got pissed off and frustrated with them, and why do they do something like this to me on friday ???? :(

About 2 Weeks back (Friday) : I got a Rs150 topup card from a grocery shop, happily scratched it.. as if there was some gift behind it. As everyone dose, I too tried to recharge my account using the pin I got, !st time it said, you didn't enter the right pin. I thought.. I must have done some typing mistake so carefully typed it again. This time they said, you have already tried this no. two times and If you type a wrong pin now, you wont be able to recharge. I was like, what to do now.. and soon realized I should use "121". So i called them, after so many press this press that, and then waiting so long listening to that irritating airtel music and other advtsmnts of world cup which india
had already lost, they pitied me and picked up the phone. (By this time I never knew this is just the beginning and I should get used to the process). She asked me my number my name... and many other details.. and before listening to the relevant thing she said, sir please try again now, you will be able to do it.. i was like.. did you listen to what i said, "your system doesn't wants me to enter this pin again".. but she still insisted on me typing it again. I said can you please check this pin for me, if it is used.. thankgod she did it for me. And her short and sweet answer was, sir this pin is already used, please contact the dealer who gave it to you. We cant do anything. What could I do, I went to that grocery shop again.. told him the whole story and he simply said, you scratched it.. I cant do anything.. I gave useless attempts calling 121 again and finally decided it was of no use, will have to forget my 150 Rs. I came back home and found a nice (for that time) way to recharge my cell, doing it online from my citibank account. I recharged my account and instantly got message that your account had been credited.. i was very happy.. till the day.. a VAS download message comes to me..



Wendnesday, 6pm (20th june): I get some message "your last Vas Download cost was Rs445.00, your current balance is -(read minus)30Rs". I called customer care again for the details of that LAST VAS DOWNLOAD of 450Rs:

Call begins: your name.. number. etc etc please.. after giving that.. hold for 30 secs... sir the amount of money you said is really a lot and server is down right now I'm checking it.. please hold for another 30 secs... i waited.. thinking so concerned they are about my money... finally he said.. sorry sir, we cant give you details.. system will get updated in another 24hrs.. please call us after that..

I finally gave up that day and thought to call after 24hrs... I couldn't use my GPRS.. couldn't call.. message.. anything.. for whole 24hrs.. Next day I called them after 6pm

Call begins: (default questions.. details and all ).. I told them about the whole issue.. (30secs hold 2 times.. ) & finally.. sir the system says, your account has been wrongly recharged and hung up..

I called again to know details.. the same process as above and he finally gave assurance to me, sir this has been done by mistake your account will be credited again in next 24hrs... (that meant another 24hrs & i couldn't use my phone)

I waited for next 24 hrs... its friday evening and I'm completely frustrated... anyways I called them again.. to hear that.. the server is down.. please call again later.. tried 3-4 times more atleast and they asked me to call after 2hrs.. I thought leave it now, let me recharge again atleast I would be able to use my phone for the weeknd.. but I was wrong.. how can I recharge.. they dint want me to use ma phone.. the server was down and i was not able to recharge online from citibank site as well.. I waited 2 hrs just to hear that, the amount I rechagred with was returned to citibank (which was not actually done), and they cant do anyting now.. I asked for details and they aksked me to contact citibank customer care. I was like.. please please please.. recharge my cell.. called them again and again.. yelled on them.. but no use.. finally they came up with a solution of disabling the customer care for me... and after pressing 9.. a voice message was left for me.. "to message them my query on 121 and wait for 24hrs for them to answer".. I had -30Rs balance.. so i was not even able to do that.. I felt like throwing this sim aways.. & try to live without this mobile.. had natural's icecream, just to cool myself down, went home and selpt.

Saturday was good day for me, early morning I checked my balance and I was happy to see my money back on my cell (donno wot worked.. my yelling or my request or wot).. whtevr be the case.. i was happy.. just thought to check my mails and found gprs still isnt activated.. i thought this will be my last 121 call and called them again.. some girl picked up.. and started same with details.. and default stuff.. finally coming to the point.. I told her please activate my mobile office (gprs) service.. she said i want to check the settings.. i said I knw the settings are correct please activate it again.. but she insisted in checking them again.. after evryting was done and she got convinced that each and evrything is correct.. she finally said.. ok sir.. I'm activating this service.. please restart your phone.. i donno why i did.. but i asked.. how should i convert this connection to postpaid.. and she started again with all the plans and details.. (when i want to talk they hang up.. and when i dont.. they will never end).. i finally said.. i'll check it later.. thanks for details and hungup..

I donno if this is just with airtel or with everyone.. but it was like they tried in best possible way to frustrate me as much as possible.. I hope i never need to call them again..

p.s. If anyone knows some good way of recharging cell please let me know :)

Kodachadri Trek : The odd man out !!

Frustrated with daily routine I was very much tempted to do something exciting... something adventurous in life… In search of the same... first I found Bangalore trekkers & then orkut trekkers on Orkut. Some guys (Rajeev & Harish) were planning for a trek to kodachadri and that was the right time for me to get in. After lots n lots of planning finally 13 people confirmed for trek… & the best part was nobody knew anybody…:P. Anyways finally we booked a TT & pickup points were fixed... with last moment back off by amrita & augi… 11 were left... but still that was a good number..




I was so much excited about the trek that… exactly at 7:00pm… I was at Jain Temple: Jayanagar 4th Block… & was 1st one to reach there… anyways soon vamshi, murli, shankar & praveen joined... we had a short intro & waited for bharti & the cab... which came abt 40 mins late (thanks to bangalore traffic).. & just after that came vivek… perfect on time… anyways… we moved on picked up shalini… anita… rajeev & finally harish… in all 11 of us.. a total of 12 with the driver manju

We left bangalore by 9.. then took halt at a western looking dhaba for dinner.. everyone was silent as all unknown to each other.. just a few comments in the ALIEN language which obviously i could not understand.. I tried talking to Vamshi on my right... but it dint last for long.. & I felt it to be so damn boring.. that i started cursing myself why I joined this group.. soon Anita saw that on my face & started talking to me in a language, which i could understand.. THANKGOD she made an initiative.. & funniest part is that it was the only effective conversation.. i can remember.. we had in the whole trip.. all others being "hi.. hello.." types :).. soon I felt normal & chatted with vamshi.. bharti & shalu.. Bharti who had just been to Jaipur was quite impressed by the culture and the hosts she had...

we had dinner.. I had paan after that... & got back to the cab... we started the night journey to Nittur… Shankar was beside my seat… everyone was shouting in kannad.. so I again felt bored and tried to sleep.. which was the only possible thing I could think of @ that time... situation got worsened by the ALIEN music on the cab.. I tried so hard to sleep and was almost slept when I heard two people shankar & bharti talking in English... it was too late for me to join in… so I felt its better to sleep now… fortunately I had gr8 sleep.. & I woke up only at Nittur.

Nittur

Well its a small village... with no water.. no power.. no toilets.. nothing !!..

We found a jharna nearby.. freshened up.. & soon rajeev got 1st leech bite of the trek.. :).. we had breakfast in a local dhaba types restaurant.. packed our bags & were all ready for the trek to the final destination.. kodachadri..



On top of Cab


A smaller part of trek was covered by our cab.. Me, rajeev, vivek & anita climbed on the carrier.. this was of one of the things of which i was crazy about.. & always wanted to do.. I was feeling great.. that i finally could do it.. it was so much fun.. just like an huge elephant ride.. I was in front takin all the bash as we moved.. thank god.. thr were no horny branches :)

finally a V turn came & we had to stop there.. to start the real trekking.. guide: vijay took us from there to his house.. which was about 1.5kms from the place we started.. we left all the bags at his house.. & headed towards a waterfall nearby..



A trek through the waterfall..


We started pushing our way through the sugarcane farms.. & the rice fields.. Soon we saw a small waterfall.. the water was so chilled and it was looking great.. we took many pics there.. and then climbed up along the falls.. on a rocky ascending path, taking all the care in the world to not slip, as it was unpredictable as to how far down we’d fall if we did.. the path wouldn’t be all that difficult if it wasn’t so slippery.. it was tough trekking

through waterfall as we moved up & up.. it was getting more and more steep and slippery.. without Vijay(Guide) it was almost impossible to reach at the top of that waterfall.. we were rewarded with some incredible views of waterfall as we came on top.. the water was falling at an amazing speed.. I could not control myself.. & went inside that main stream.. it was an awesome feeling.. the only thing I regret of is.. I forgot to take off my wallet from back pocket.. & it also got drenched with me…

I dint wanted to come back from there.. but had to.. as the main destination was still far away from that place & we dint wanted to miss the famous sunset of kodachadri.. The return back journey was more dangerous.. as just one slip & u r gone.. I was with guide initially... but from somewhere I got enthu to get down fast... I left the group & started going down on my own... soon I got the result of that.. as I chose a wrong path near a steep fall.. Hanging in between life n death (the two rocks)... with the support of a tree branch... I was completely blank where to go now... then I decided to get down with help of that small branch only... "bhagwaan ko yaad karte karte" I somehow managed to get down.. if ever that branch had broken.. I’m damn sure I would not have been here writing this blog…well I donno if I'm enlightened but I did survive the longest 10 minutes of my life… !

Murli & Bharti were already down there... we went back to Vijay's house and changed all wet clothes... it was an awesome experience I had... Which I know I wont ever forget in my life...

just after that everybody came & we had lunch there (chutni-puri).. a typical soutindian dish.. puri being "roti" and chutney being "curd with some powder".. I had cakes & apple too.. to fill my tummy to the mark.. to be prepared for the next trek to our final destination.. we packed stuff and moved on...



7KM trek to kodachadri…

As we moved up and up... encounters with leeches were more frequent.. we had to cross three hills and then walk abt 1.5 kms from there on a kattacha road(jeep trek).. to get to the PWD guesthouse@kodachadri.. soon we were on the top of the first hill.. & view from there took all my pains off...we could see backwaters of Arabian sea from the top and many small hills below us... the beauty of the view was past compare… and it kept on increasing as we moved up… we rested 2-3 times in between, excluding the stops to remove leeches from our shoes while walking… for the first time I saw a leech in my life, its very small and keeps on sucking your blood till you remove it, once its done it can live for another 6 months without any blood… :)… glucose was of real help to me I could feel energy inside me after having that... though walking there was not much tough as very less khai’s… only u had to up climb the hills.. Murli was the most enthusiastic among all… always the 1st one to reach all the tops… donno from where he got all that energy…

After so much of hard work :), we were very sweaty and tired when we reached kaccha road: the jeep trek… and guesthouse was another 1.5 kms so we rested again for about 10 mins there had some apples/mausambi’s and moved on… this trek was easy… infect just walking we had to do… in between cam an echo point.. with all the sides covered by hills and when you shout you can notice your voice moving from left to right… we could see the guesthouse and hilltop from there… while moving we were planning for a scary movie… took many pics to add to it, but ideas was a flop :)… we finally reached pwd guesthouse and took two rooms.. the sad part was that it was very cloudy so we could not see the sunset properly.. anyways we freshened up… had tea… chocolates… & all started talking in alien language again L.. soon I discovered that there was only about 1sqm of area in front of guesthouse where Airtel network was coming.. So I thought better to message & call friends from there, then to put a fight understanding, what all they were talking about.

There was no power… & it was all dark… generator was on for about 1/2 hr, till we took our dinner… it was again a proper southindian dinner (sabhji/sambhar/rasam/rice/papad ) which I had in a typical southindian ishile.. eating with hands… & it was quite fun… even my plate was as neat as others when I finished.. :)

The 2nd night..

I thought that after having dinner they might have planned for some games… but everyone was tired that they wanted to sleep… I was not feeling sleepy so I came out & thought of writing a diary.. but no lights... & even torch was dim… so i dint put up much fight… anyways I was using my cell to the best.. & watching stars which had an awesome view from there… no pollutants.. & no clouds at that time… soon my cell battery started going down… & I had no other option to go in & sleep… I slept around 11:30… thinking that can even help me waking up early for sunrise at hilltop..

Sunrise@Hilltop

We woke up at 5:00.. got ready for the sunrise.. it was almost a night trek with extreme dark, torches in our hands and guide helping us where to put the next step.. The peak is about 1300m above sea level and has a shrine called "Sarvajnya Peeth", where Shankaracharya meditated to enlightenment. The hills were damn steep which we didn’t even notice while climbing up in dark. It was such a privilege to see the sun rise that morning, picking out the tips of the mountains first and then spreading the reddish glow against the blue sky and clouds much below the peak. This was another “one-of-a-kind” experience I had on trek. Finally we decided to move down, in between we saw a cave with a Ganesh murti kept inside. Other then me & vamshi everyone took some other path with guide along the dense forest to the guesthouse but we went on by the path.. we came from.. as it had better sceneries & we dint wanted to miss their pics… we realized how tough it was only when we were coming back in lights.. with a steep valley on one side & only few feet wide path to walk on.. anyways we took a lots of pics there exploring the natural beauty.. & came back… had chai and waited for rajeev who had keys of our room… & girls who didn’t go in the morning to come back… even the view from the guesthouse was awesome.. I just felt like sitting there all the time & watch moving clouds, sky, hills & backwaters..

Finally we packed our bags & marched towards ISKON temple taking some other route..

Trekking downhill was very quick and was much easier & with less encounters of leeches.. We found a landscape.. rested & played there for a while and moved towards the temple which was still under construction.. we met Tattva there.. abt 70yrs old angrez.. who was care taker of that temple… rasgullas we had inside as prashaad were nice :)

We again started trekking… better say walking… as it was a flat road… walked for about 2kms to catch our cab waiting there for us.

Kullur

The cab reached kullur in no time… with just one stop at a small shop of dinesh.. We had tea & finger chips there.. which got us back our childhood memories.. reaching kullur.. we parked cab & guys (other then me, shalini & vamshi) went to a famous temple nearby.. I had two bottom-sups of coconuts water :).. then had some chocolates & roasted groundnuts... no one was feelin hungry so we just went towards our final stop.. Baindur beach..


Baindur beach..

Finally we were at the beach.. & they took the right decision choosing this beach… as it was so clean and had a gr8 view… we had awesome fun in water.. saw sunset there and went back… again on the carrier of the cab… this time me vivek and shankar.. we were sleeping on the carrier.. and it was gr8 fun doing that but only lasted till we halted in between for dinner.. we had dinner.. with some booze an had an awesome paan just outside the restaurant.

Dance on road..

On the way back we started dancing in the cab… vivek being the initiator… Paan banaras wala of DON.. beedi jalaile.. and RDB tracks were too good to dance on.. then came an idea of dancing on the road.. we danced like crazy.. using all possible arbit steps… and it was gr8 fun dancing on road in cab lights :)… anyways I didn’t last for long… we came back & everyone was tired enough to sleep.. I watched swades for some time... then again... some alien language songs started playing… so I had no other option left then to sleep… though it helped... I slept nicely.. & woke up in the morning only... when we were back on the roads of Bangalore... had tea at dhabha.. rajeev distributed her sister's wedding cards… and finally an amazing trek came to an end… everyone got down on by one, on the busy roads of Bangalore… with same busy routine waiting ahead.


The People Involved

Rajeev: Leech's love
He was the organizer of trek, working in accenture… finally came out as (Ambrish I donno y guys were calling him by that name)… he was a big time leech attracter.. and got many bites.. I should be very much thankful to him and harish for organizing such a nice trek.. kudos to you guys..



Harish : The goti guy
He is a silent guy… was not able to know much about him… but anyways kudos to him too for
organizing such a nice trek.




Vivek: The actor
Working in dell.. I chatted with him for long… he has done lots of trekking before… loves dancing and acting too :)




Vamshi: The Photographer
LOST as his orkut name says… he was like that only most of time on trek… hez working in Dell.. loves photography and has a nice cam to support that :)… even he cant speak/understand kannad that fluently... he was perfect person to have been matched up with, same fitness level, same interests and we were able to share a lot of jokes along the way… & other then interests we also share same b’date :)


Praveen:
Working in IBM… again is a nice guy but didn’t talk to him much… so cant write more here.




Shankar: The first timer
Well this guy always had a problem with his bag… “My bag is too heavy yaar”… working
in IBM he was trekking for the first time… but a nice guy to be with…




Murli: Enthu Punter
He was the most enthu punter in whole trek… always was first one to climb up or come down… or call people to come fast when we were waiting at jain temple… or crossing roads as he said.. I’m still a baccha doing that :)



Shalini: The shy girl
She didn’t talk much… unlike girls :P… she had interests in photography was looking for more arbit things to click on. She is working in some FCI/FIC I again forgot the exact name.




Anita: Professional Trekker
Working in I-flex she is more of adventurous kind… loves trekking and this you can understand as she did a trek last weekend and had plans for the coming one :)




Bharti: Business girl
Studying in 3rd yr Engg.. she has no plans to take any job or go for higher studies. At an age of 19 she owned some real estate website fully functional and working & left that for reason I don’t know but again planning for something big I think :)… she was quite impressed by jaipur.. its culture and hosts she had there. very talkative and enthusiastic person I must say.


Vijay: The guide
At first I thought what kind of guide is he… he is just telling nothing.. onlyguiding us the way.. is that a guide.. but I was completely wrong… It was impossible to see many things specially that waterfall without him… also the ay he helped us carrying bags, helping to get down climb up… it was really great on his part. Just In sleepers he wasn’t afraid of leeches.. I was not able to talk to him but donno why.. this local guy impressed me a lot.

Tattva: The angrez @ ISKON
Working there for 10 years he was quite happy to see us at ISKON. He had a son who did btech from IITB, was working there on some organic plantation. I thing impressed by Indian culture or ISKON he changed his name… but was a nice person to talk to :)

Manju: The driver
He knew hindi which I cam to know only when we took a halt at kullur. He had lot of enthu to know about me as in where I’m living.. since how long I was thee in blore etc etc.. I didn’t ask him much.. but it was nice talking to him.



& Ofcourse Last but not the least

PAF's in IITB

my last 4 posts were devoted to PAF's in IIT Bombay..
for those who are not from IITB..

The Performing Arts Festival, abbreviated as PAF, is the annual inter-hostel dramatics competition in the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay located at Powai in Mumbai (India). It is undertaken with great enthusiasm by both Undergraduate and Graduate students of IIT Bombay. Typically two or three hostels (out of 14) tie up by lucky draw for each PAF. Though technically a drama, each PAF is a combination of all cultural arts, be it dramatics, literature, music, fine arts, debating , dance etc. All PAFs are held in the Open Air Theater (OAT) within the main campus of IIT Bombay, inside the Students' Activity Center.

you can know more about it at.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performing_Arts_Festival

as expected Deja vu was the winning PAF this year.. the PAF created history by winning 7 out of the 9 awarded trophies..

deja vu.. the last & the perfect one.. !!

My last PAF during my stay at IIT.. & what a PAF it was..
awsum performance.. powerful script..
GODmax concept & execution.. excellent direction.. nice choreo..
with all the right issues at the right place.. every thing was so PERFECT..
& last but not the least.. it was a bliss for passing out junta like me..
to watch thr last PAF.. on IIT life..

It covered such heavy issues being raised in IIT... in such a light mode that ppl sitting all over got involved so much that they even forgot to hoot..

It started off with a guy being unsuccessful to get thru JEE & commiting suicide.. then a normal guy in IIT is shown.. who has seen failure always after coming to IIT.. with many fakka's & farra's.. no GF's.. no job.. which makes him feel that his life is worthless..

many things he have in mind..
lots of people forcing him to do...
wot he nevr wanted to..

he wants to live his life..
in his own way..
but hez nevr able to..

he feels very lonley.. with no one around him.. who he can say is his true friend.. this makes his life even worse.. with all this stuff going on side by side.. this guy wants to make a script for PAF.. which is uniqe.. & which can hit evryone..

as seen with all this frustation going around.. he rags a guy.. to work for PAF.. & as a result gets DAC as a gift & suspension for one year.. now with such a big time givup in life.. he thinks of easiest way of getting over all this.. when he was about to commit it.. soon he is told that his fren has already commited suicide.. then he goes to a psychiatrist.. where he finds that all the people around him have some or the other problems.. & just giving up is not the solution to them.. evryone is living with it.. this gives him the idea.. to show the inner side of guys.. with all the pain in there life... to be shown through the PAF script..

Then comes the court scene @ coffee shack.. where everyone involved (prof, himself & his fren) is brought to a common platform.. & shown where they all went wrong.. & that disscusing it among themselves is the only way left to make iit a better place..

finally it ended with floyd being played in background.. giving a highly inspiring note
"NEVER GIVE UP"

Camouflages..

to be true... though it was H3's PAF...
it was the worst, i evr saw in my iit life..

the story was of a pimp.. it started really well.. 1st 15 mins were worth watching.. with fundoo dialouges.. & nice execution..

but after that.. it changed its way.. with puches one after the other..

starting from
dragon dance..
then "tere roop di ho gayi.. (daya daya)" choreo..

then dialouges.. which were too long to be tolerated.. also lights.. searching for actor on stage..
& so much of pondiaps all over that it was being compared with socials..

finally it crossed all the limits with a big big interview
at the end.. & that too so monotouns & with puches in voiceover.. that it crossed all limits..

I know that its bad to critise a PAF.. but making such a good script look bad..
with such a poor direction & so many puches is a real crime..

In all it was a total dissapointment & though not the best.. but i really dint expected such a bad paf by H3 :(

Kharashe.. another hindu-muslim story !!

PAF by 6-10-13...

though.. the script was very common.. there were puches in lights..

though.. choreo were arbit.. not related to stroy..

but this PAF can be said an average one..
just because of some good dialouges used.. fundoo prod made..
a few good voiceovers.. & really nice execution of such a common script..

just a better climax could have left an impact on junta..

newys.. i hope to see better ones

Asraar.. duping who ??

well.. so that was the 1st PAF of '06... by H2, 7 & 8... like always it had to start late.. & near the gate there were H3 guys all over.. shouting slogans, ranging from "H3-H3" to "angrezo bharat chodo" to " bharat maata ki.. " lolz.. finally 45 mins late around 10.. gate opened.. evryone rushed in.. & tried thr best to get seats.. from where they could get best possible view..

In short story was of shahjahan.. who came into power after Jahangir's death.. its shown that he was very generous initially.. but soon he came int
o words of his minister.. & started fighting with his neighbours.. which was shown very nicely.. with a game of chess being played... & nice choreo too.. though copied from previous PAF's & chaos :)..

atlast he lost a battel.. & was very depressed.. he wanted to create something very
glorious.. to be written in history.. & by which he could get fame.. soon after that Aurangjeb(as a child) is shown with a model of some monument in his hands.. & Shahjhan thought.. that its the thing which could be a tribute to himself.. but for it to be famous.. it needed a bigger reason..
he ordered his minister to make a glorious.. sangmarmar's MAKBARA (which is made after death).. & ordered to kill his wife.. as a sacrifice to this great monument.. which would get the name "TAJMAHAL" after the death of Mumtaj.

Aurangjeb.. who got pissed off by this decision.. later imprisoned his father.. & kept him such that he could not see even a part of Tajmahal.. At the end.. Aurrangjeb is shown.. calling people of future to change the history of Tajmahal..

probably there is no one who has been duped at least once in a life time.. but can the whole world can be duped??? this may seem impossible.. but in the matter of indian and world history the world can be duped in many respects for hundreds of years and still continues to be duped.. :)

Except prod (The Taj Mahal).. concept.. & the chessboard scene.. nothing was grea
t in paf.. the execution was really bad.. with less importance been given to the climax.. which was the most important part.. lights & voiceovers had enough puches.. but a PAF is a PAF.. with so many people workin all day & night.. it can never be bad.

Waiting for the next one on 22nd.
