Fame X better than Fame-ex (gurukul) ???

Lately, the Net, exams and friends have taken up all my time. Believe me.. the answer u'll get from me if u ask me 'Wassup?' will be "nothing much here...". Life's not boring but not much flavour in it rite now. Anyways, I read the paper regularly nowadays n there was an article bout a new show that caught my eye. FAME X (sequel to Fame Gurukul). WOW... nice name... i thought. N wat do I see in the related pic ? Panel of judges that include Nikhil Chinnappa of MTV., Daler Mehndi Prince (or is it king??!!) of Bhangra and Ganesh Hegde., the choreographer turned singer (or the other way around).

The theme of the show was to pick out ppl who have the X factor in them and mould them into real performers. N who'd do that ? Euphoria's Palash Sen and Singer Sowmya Rao. I again went WOW ! This must be one heck of a show. If Palash is pickin out ppl.. they must b really good already. I saw my first episode 2day... hmm......

I am no gr8 singer... but I've grown up in a musical family and I know a good singer when I see one. Half the performers on the show 2day... I have no clue whey they got picked. Most of them were trying to catch their breath while singing n dancing at the same time. Even those who were the saving grace of the show had the same problem. It's too early to remember everybody by their names but I already got a few favs and if all goes as it should they should make it to the finals.

Anyways no complains as of now coz the theme of the show's to 'mould' these guys with 'X factor' into proper performers. Looking at all the talent on the other side of the show., in the judges seat.., there could be pleasant surprises in the coming weeks. Lets wait n watch. Lemme do some free publicity for them. Gladly.. I couldn't see any public voting till now. Yipeee !!!

Watch FAME X ...x...x...x..(echo) on Sab TV. I donno when it airs... check out the schedule 4 urselves plz.

Help me unriddle this riddle..

Here's a riddle that I got fwd'd to me by sms for the second time and everytime I look at it., the veins in my head start to throb. I haven't been able to make out wat the answer is... so I'll take ur help. Try if u can work this out.

_H_T_ _ _I_ _ME_

* I'm a 13 letter word
* Doctors hate me
* Fishermen like me
* Kids love to eat me

Who/What am I ???

UPDATE: Guess everybody except me knows the answer. It's CHATHURINGMES. My vocab sucks. I should have remembered that word when they taught me in my Ist standard. Damn !!!

Movie of the King of love stories....failed ones...

“Bhagwan ka screenplay bhi aajab hai, kabhi kaisi ko mukambal jaan nahi milta, you witness the agonies of tragic love stories, you witeness existes of imortal love stories, its time you witness mine…”

No.., not mine silly ! I don't even have a love story leave alone immortal ones. The guy who said that is the guy who's got innumerable failed love stories., makes good music., sings ok., loves caps and hates the barber or the blade. Yes., it's Mr.............. Himesh Reshammiya. We all love him don't we ? Atleast for making it so easy for us to pass comments about his look or his failed love story videos.

I don't hate him. I'm a critic. A good critic appreciates somebody for something he's good at and criticizes him for something......, he's not good at. I've already written a post about him when suddenly everybody was anti-Himesh. Not coz he's my fav but coz most of those who made fun of him enjoyed his music. That's the height of hypocracy. He simply makes good music., has really good lyrics in his songs and good looking women in his videos. Other than that I have nothin else to think about him without immediately switching to another topic.

Now he's coming out with a movie !!!??? Woah ! Now how much excitement ( both good n bad ) will that stir up !? ;) I personally love the video of the promo though. Very proffessionally shot., no silly dances., good cinematography with the camera flying accross the scene in almost every shot. Beauty ! I couldn't make out the story though., coz first there are short glimpses of all the previous videos of his and then shows two other girls., one Indian and one blonde.

Now when he said the above line I was impressed coz it sounded a lil classy. But i'm wondering which story is he going to share with us that is his 'real love story'? The most shocking part of the video is the end in which he takes off this cap and puts in the table !!?? Is he really gonna take it off ? I mean... REALLY !!?? Guess we gotto wait about 7 months to July 2007 to find out ! I know u don want to.., but atleast 4 the cap mystery rite ???

Friends.., beware...

I've recently been getting lots of invitations from online friendship communites such as Tagged., Gazzag., Multiply etc. Funny that my friends don't seem to remember sending me an invitation. I wonder why..... U know why ? Coz they didnt !

Everytime I try to be a nice friend and accept the invitation from one of such communities., wat do I see ? They want my yahoo ID and password ! How silly is that !? I mean... C'moooon !! I never gave my yahoo password to even my best friend., y the hell would I give it to some new community ? N wat I don't get it is there are ppl who do that., give away that secret important info ! THAT's UR DAMN EMAIL AND PASSWORD !!! Can u imagine them looking into ur mails and monitor ur chat? I'm not saying they do., but they could if they wanted to., coz U let them into ur house !

For now., i think they simply are getting emails of friends from either the yahoo messenger or address book or emails and forwarding everybody their invitations on behalf of you. Very sweet of them, isn't it ? Obviously not coz we still don't know what other 'favours' they're doing with our secret information and the emails of our friends.

Here are a few personal tips from me:

* If you get an invitation without ur friend remembering sending u one., better stay away from it. Best choice would be to check that mail and hit the delete button. U n ur friend will still be in touch, so worry not.
* Any community or site that needs you to register with ur email ID as ur main ID for that particular site., make sure that u give a password that is different from that of ur email.
* Choose ur online community wisely. First of all u don't need to be in one. Even if u want to., chose one that's already popular and is known to be free of spam ( from the community itself ).
* After u get into a community be very careful with how much of ur personal profile or information u wish to share with ur friends or even with the whole wide world. Never be in denial that nothing wrong could ever happen to u. It just could.

After all that said, my friends, I hope that this post leaves u all wiser, safer and happier. Njoy ur life !

Mayabazaar in CA...

To all My telugu friends in the US of A and also anybody else who like watching telugu movies there.., I got a good news 4 all of you. My friend Uday bought the screening rights for the new Telugu Movie Mayabazaar in the bay area region and will be screening the movie at Ubiquitous Sagar’s Park Theatre location in Fremont,, California from the 23rd to 31st of November.

Here's some info about this movie from him:

Talking about the technical crew of the movie , one of the main highlights
is the director - Mohanakrishna Indraganti. His venturesome first movie,
‘Grahanam’, a gripping silver screen version of the famous Telugu writer Chalam, won him a national award but left him craving for
limelight. This time, he is back with B.Satyanarayana, producer of Missamma
fame, to make a feel-good entertainer with a subtle message! The movie is racing towards
theaters on November 15th and the industry insider talk rates it as something
with a potential to become one of the top four telugu movies for 2006 and join
the ranks of Bommarillu !

Dear Orkut..,

Hi,

Those are some really nice suggestions up there ( click here )that can take orkut to a new, higher level and add to its popularity among its users. As much fun as orkut already is., the growing number of abusers is obviously evidence of ppl who lack moral ethics and will stoop down so low as to create fake profiles or hate communities.

The open registration that orkut has started is a bad step in helping these losers vandalise other users even more easily. I know some people mite not agree with me, but think about it, wat place does a stranger have in a community where he has no friends (to invited him to) ? Orkut was Nice and relatively safer when it was a restricted community open only through invitations.

I have a suggestion for you. I think people who join orkut even through invitation must be approved by a certain minimum number or friends so as to qualify to fully become a member. Also like in a few other online communites., they should be allowed to veiw profiles of those only in their network upto a decent number of levels in between them.

This could be a little in the way of people meeting new friends or dates, but will help a long way in reducing the number of abusers and keep their work in check.

Thank you
KK

Somebody gimme a car !!!!

Hell on earth. Everybody knows wat I'm talking about. It's no movie. I'm not talking about Afghanistan or Iraq. I'm not talking about Indo-pak border. It's a part of our lives that we cannot escape and have to face its wrath everytime we're out of the house. I'm talking about Indian roads.

They look more like a warzone than "a long, narrow stretch with a smoothed or paved surface , made for traveling by motor vehicle, carriage, etc., " like the dictionary says. Here, in my city they are so bad with so many potholes that I sometimes feel like they didnt actually lay down the road but just threw around the asphalt on the way and let it set on its own. I will do a photopost on Indian roads soon.

It's difficult to drive for even a stretch of a hundred metres without being lifted up off ur bike by some pothole or so called 'speed breakers'. They shud call them back breakers., coz that's wat they did to me. If you've been following this blog for sometime., u'd know that I got operated upon coz of a 'slipped disk'. The new pain-in-the-ass helmet rule also sucks coz not only is it stupid (coz there is a good chance u will die being on the receiving end of an accident on the road even with ur helmet on) but it also causes hair loss ! I don wanna be bald before I get married ! There's also the issue of pollution.

So if u are a kind hearted person with deep pockets and enuf change to spare., please do donate me a car., however old it is. U can leave me ur business card in the comments section and I will contact u. I'm serious...., so u be too :)

Bolo na : the lyrics

I've recently been gettin a lot of searches linkin to my blog expecting to find info about Sona Mahapatra's album and the lyrics of the song 'Bolo Na'. I already gave my info bout that in a previous post. I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere too so I typed it all out for all those music lovers. This is one of those songs that u wish u knew Hindi to understand what it means. I can almost say this songs means somethin to me personally. No more details about this part though.., here are the lyrics..
(There mite be a few errors., i'm also human ! Plz do send me the corrections if any)



Bolo na Kya hua.. humko ye kya hua..
Hui aisi baath kya..
Bolo bolo na..

Thumne maana bura.. mere kis baath ka..
Maine kuch hain kaha..
Bolo bolo na..

Thune bhi., Maine bhi., Badla kyun raastha..?

Bolo, bolo, hain baath kya?
Bolo na., Bolo na.,
Hum dono mein hain baath kya?
Bolo na., Bolo na.,


Yun toothne ki., sab chootne ki..
Vajeh hi nahi thi bachi..
Hum dono mein., kaisi thi chupne ki.,
Jageh hi nahi thi bachi.,

Phir mein chup kyu hui.. phir thu chup kyu hua..
aisa kuch kyo hua..
Bolo bolo na..
Chote se baath ne., roka hain raastha..
he he hain baath kya..
bolo bolo na..

Thune bhi....................
...............Bolo na..


Ek doosre ko., sab kehne ki.,
chaahath ko kya ho gaya..
Baathein hawa mein.., udane ki apni.,
himmath ko kya ho gaya..

Woh himmath kya hui.. woh chaahath kya hui..
woh fithrath kya hui..
Bolo bolo na..,
Kaisi thi baath ko., dil pe kyun le liya.,
He he hain baath kya..
bolo bolo na..

Thune bhi....................
...............Bolo na..

Just a small break..

I'm just here., takin a break from my preparation., munching away at an chocolate icecream cone. I donno y., Cornetto feels smaller nowadays., or is it me who's grown bigger ??? Hmm.., prob'ly both.

First of all., there are veery few ppl like me who REALLY enjoying studying.. yes., it's true., but the weathers not cooperating. Hyderabad's been having bad off season rains lately. Coming to think of it., it's really amazing how a cyclone hundreds of kilometers off the shore can pick up water and send it all the way to a few hundreds of kilometers on this side of the shore., and not just drizzles., IT RAINS ! N when it rains., I just feel like sipping coffee., or watch tv or lie down n listen to music or anythin else 4 that matter except 4 studying.

If you've ever been in Hyderabad., you know how a small shower can do to a big city like this. Traffic Jam., power cuts n wat not ! U can actually tell wat's been goin on in ppl's homes coz all their freaking sewage is overflowing onto the road !

Hyderabad or any other city., listen to me., if it rains., stay in the comfort of ur home., fall back., get somethin hot to eat and just chill out !

Drive down memory highway....

What kind of guy would go back to the coll that has screwed him badly in his academics and put black mark on his otherwise decent resume, especially when he's graduated and has got nothing to with the coll ? ME ! Ye, Got friends goin to coll on some work in their car and there's still place for one, pretty cool weather here in Hyderabad from the last few days., promised my frnd I'd come and also had 2 or 3 friends that i promised to meet at coll., so., hell., y not go !?

In the begining I kind of felt reluctant to go inside coz rite now I'm not doing anythin worth tellin everybody, especially when a lot of my Jnrs had high hopes on what I wud b doin with my career. Then again, I thought to myself, does it really matter !? I mean., i'm not even an yr old passed out guy and I AM still workin towards a goal., so again., hell.., y not go !?

I was happy seeing many happy seing me. Feels good to be loved by so many doesnt it ? Met everybody I had to meet., visited the canteen., staircases., the loo and ground., all places of memories of coll days. Prob'ly would like to do it again., but I guess things like these lose their 'magic' if u keep doing it too often. So., I'll just live with the memories 4 now.

Try doing this., take a bunch of close friends and visit ur school or coll.., hate it or not., u'll feel good 4 sure.

2day is 2mrw’s yesterday..,

what we have 2day , we might not have 2mrw. But it does not mean that u gotto enjoy them like u donno if Kal Ho Na Ho. Live life 4 the moment, plan 4 the next and remember your past. Like Kishore Kumar once sang for Rajesh Khanna, “Zindagi ek safar hain suhana, Yaha kal kya ho, kisne jaana ?“, which is a beautiful song by the way. The next moment he’s no more. Not the best way to end a song eh? Hmm., anyways., the point i’m trying to put forward is the song is not about living life like there’s no tomorrow, it’s about Living it to the fullest. It’s not about pushing urself to the limit, it’s about extending ur limits. It’s about being the best you can. Of course not everybody has a Hema Malini sitting on the back seat, laughing, on the ride of our life, but do we really need her ? It can be a lil disturbing with a girl laughing like crazy on the backseat while driving., but ye., it’d be nice to have somebody ( esp of the opp sex ) share the fun of life with us. So., don’t live life like there’s no 2mrw., live 2day like it won’t be there 2mrw.
