My 100th post :)


I had been waiting for long to write this special post. However, I had not decided what will be the content of this post. I wanted to write something which I have not written before. But then I didn't get enough time to put in more thought. So, I decided to write about my blog on my blog.


I came to know about blogging from my friend K2. She was a regular blogger and I loved reading her. One day I was remembering another friend of mine who is no more amongst us and I decided to express my thoughts in words and the result was this post. My second post was about the first love story of my life. Then I started writing about a subject which I love the most-"Movies". I am a complete movie-buff and all those around me can vouch for this fact. The first movie review i wrote was for 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna'. It became the most popular post on my blog but I deleted it sometime earlier this year. With the post all the 'fantastic' comments were also lost. I regret doing that now.


I stopped blogging for quite a while in between and then i came back in Mar 2007 and since then I have been regular, with at least 1 post every month (I have improved that to 3 posts a week now).


I was reading my older posts (i didn't know it would be so much fun) and realized that more or less I have been writing about the same subjects which are:
  • Movies
  • Books
  • Friends and Family
  • Random thoughts (happy)
  • Random thoughts (sad)
  • Some posts with 'hidden meanings' :)

My favourite posts (one from each of the above category) would be:

Movie related: Lamhon ki guzarish hai ye (song), My fav songs

Book Review: Kite Runner

Friends and Family: Bachpan

Random thoughts (happy): I want to be free, My room, Smile

Random thoughts (sad): Mumbai, It

The one with 'symbolism': What do I do?, Umbrella


This post has turned out to be a "review" of the past 2 years. I wanted to compile some of my favourite posts somewhere, so this post serves that purpose too.

In the coming year I don't know how much time I will be able to devote to my blog. If my enthusiasm and an urge to write and express stays with me I will try to reach the 300th post mark in 2009. Lets see :)

As life and times have changed drastically in the last 2 years, so have been my thoughts. The frequency of writing has increased several fold because this space is taking the place of a friend for me. If something strikes me or makes me very happy or very sad I start thinking about how i will express it here. I do have my buddy and other friends here, but still I like to express it here. It gives me a different kind of satisfaction. I intend to keep on writing...and as pointed out by another friend of mine, I will try to think and write "positively".

Thanks to all my friends who follow this blog and all those random readers who drop in every now and then. Keep on commenting... :)

A poem from childhood...

"Long legged Italy, kicked poor Sicily In the middle of Mediterranean Sea. Austria was Hungary Took a bit of Turkey Fried it in Japan Dipped it in Greece...." I remember only this much. This poem was my first attempt at learning the names of these countries and locating them on the map of the world. And I thought Austria and Australia were same. :-) It's time to confirm that I was wrong at that point of time, some twenty years back...

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

I went for this movie with zero-expectation just to watch SRK after a long interval of more than a year and I didn't get disappointed. Seriously, it is a very ordinary movie which takes up an age-old idea (of arranged marriage) and adds all kinds of 'spices' and SRK to it just to cater to a very specific kind of audience, which includes SRK fans and YRF loyals or time-pass movie goers. Surinder Sahni cannot be 'one' single man. There are many contradictions within this character. The man leads a dull, boring, monotonous life with his yellow suitcase, yellow tiffin, yellow car and a yellow bed sheet... (i might have missed other yellow objects around him). And he accepts the fact that he is indeed a boring person. Now, he decides to change his personality just to surprise his young, vibrant, newly-wedded wife. He turns himself into the "movie-hero" who makes his Taani ji smile. The surprising part is that he looks extremely comfortable in this new transfo

Drama on Lauh-pad-gamini

For those who don't know what is 'Lauh-pad-gamini' , it means 'train' (I learnt that from Chupke Chupke ). And let me re-emphasize the fact that I love train journeys. One of them is over and the other is round the corner. The reason for the upcoming journey deserves another post and I will write about it later. If life is a journey, I would like it to be a train journey. That's what the new look of my blog says too. The other day I was talking to a friend and this question came up "How do you think life has changed you?" There are so many things but the first thing which came in my head was: I have learnt to extract joy from 'little' things in life and even the otherwise 'major' things can't keep my spirits down for long. Yes, things do affect me but I have learnt to move on. But this post is not about lessons of life. It is about 'trains' and 'movies', which occupy a special position in my life. :) There are so ma
