CHOTE SCREENS KI BADI BAATE

                                               

                                                                                 

I know everyone is bit surprised that “Shri ka blog and no SRK yet!” So let me write something about his great work and which has a place in Guinness book. But wait why should I tell the facts which are already known to everybody. So let me share something which is very common yet uncommon now-a-days.

                I and My friends (Harsh, Abhishek and Aditya) decided to watch “DDLJ” at Maratha mandir on Saturday 13/12, on the very next day of completion of 1000weeks. We left our hostel a bit late then what we actually decided. The show timing was 11.30am. By 10.30am tickets selling start. None of us was sure that whether the movie was still running in the theatre or not as the buzz mentioned that “Maratha mandir will let off DDLJ after 1000weeks”. At 11am we reached the single screen theatre and saw the poster of DDLJ and heaved a sigh of relief. But our happiness was short-lived. There was a long queue for tickets. We were pretty unsure that we will get tickets or not. Two of us went in the queue and me n harsh started requesting people who were in the beginning of the line to buy tickets for us too. After many arrogant replies and rejections a man with kind heart and labourish face agreed. But sometimes helping others put you in trouble. As the limit were 4 for a person. He managed to take only 4 tickets, which apparently we took from him and he went home with empty hands. This anxiety of unsurety about the tickets is getting extinct because of BOOKMYSHOW.COM.

                The door for cinema hall opened. People huddled as if the seats are allocated on first cum first serve basis (this happening is also very rare now). Security man somehow managed the crowd. We entered the cinema hall. We had balcony tickets costing RS20 each (Rarest phenomena). As a huge fan of Shahrukh khan I posed his style in front of DDLJ poster. My friends also followed me. Then we bought popcorn for Rs20 and waited to start the movie. As soon as the first scene appeared people shouted in chorus in happiness. Audience welcomed Amrish puri with Applause. The energy of audience reached at its best when Kajol and King Khan appeared for the first time. Everyone wished that their father should be like Anupam kher who celebrated his son’s failure. This continued for all most all scenes. Clapping, shouting, singing songs of the movie, whistling were going on with increasing fashion. The charged up environment was nonstop for 3 hours. As the show was house full and everyone has already seen the movie people reacted beforehand for every memorable scene. Infamous dialogue-“bade bade desho mai aise choti choti baate hoti reheti hai” got expected honour from public.

          

                Now-a-days you don’t find such energy in any movie or even in crowd. It was really a perfect nostalgia who is 35-40years old now. They must have witnessed the first day first show of DDLJ. After all it was awesome and unforgettable experience. I suggest a business idea ( as an MBA guy) to khans and bachchan that they should bring back their legendary movies like lagan ,hum aapke hai kon, deewar , janjir, rang de basanti, baazigar to single screens. They should promote them as they promote their new movies. Single screens will also get back their audience.TRY IT! J

  

TAJ in my own way!

“WAH TAJ”

                My mom’s birthday falls on 22^nd September. She completed golden jubilee, so to celebrate we decided to visit Taj mahal hotel in Mumbai. As every good thing has some glitches my exam was scheduled on 22^nd so we postponed our program to 30^th September.

                                             

                Let us go directly to 30^th Sept instead of wasting time in telling you that how I faced my exams in thinking of the Taj. I, my parents and uncle aunt met at CST station at around 5.30pm. The weather was never so perfect. No clouds, sun was waving bye to Mumbai. We boarded BEST bus to reach Gateway of India. In that journey of 15-20min we saw many glorious and ancient structures of Mumbai. We reached our destination in couple of minutes. You see three marvelous structures in one go. The Gateway of india, The Taj mahal Hotel and Shivaji Maharaj’s Statue. As my aunt has visited Taj many a times so she knew much about the layout of Taj. So we need not have to search for anything. There are 2 buildings of Taj ,the new one and the old one. Old building has 7 floors which is pre dominantly for meals etc and the huge Taj next to the old building is for lodging and boarding which is of 22 floors.          

                We entered the taj and the first impression was splendid. Everything inside was as lusty as gold. We obviously took out our cameras and started capturing the richness and beauty inside of taj. We bowed down to the memorial of the martyrs of 26/11. That day still brings Goosebumps of fear. It was very horrifying night for the whole country. After spending some time experiencing the elegant parts of taj we decided to give the elegance to our stomach too so we went to “Sea lounge” section where we have munchies. Taj has different sections like roof top, shamiyana, sea lounge etc. Specialty of sea lounge is we can view the mammoth sea; it is truly a wonderful sight. There were cushions near the window but it was for 2 people only and we were 5. So fortunately and unfortunately with some disappointment went to the chairs a bit far from windows. The cushions were very cosy and comfortable. There was a buffet so we started tasting different items one by one.. I don’t recollect the names as I was very much interested in eating than reading. After spending half an hour of conversation in family we observed the weather outside turning gloomy. Something wrong was there in the dark and in next 10min we got our doubts cleared.

                There were 4 window panels in that room facing the sea. One of them flanged open with huge noise of wind and rain. The glass mug, plates fell down into pieces which were kept nearby to the window. We were just sitting on our couch & viewing the horrifying scene with awe. A waiter ran towards the window and closed the window. The staff called the housekeeping to clean everything. After 10 odd minutes another window opened with loud noise and this time the water particles with wind reached us. We left our table with panic. There were other customers who joined us. The staff requested us to stay out of the room in the passage. All these scenes reminded us of the terrible night of 26/11. The din of wind and clatter of windows were very horrifying. We waited near the staircase and discovered that even Taj’s ceiling leaks. So I have forgiven all the construction builders for their leaky structure now.

                One manager came to us and escorted us to ground floor in “Shamiyana ” section. It was very beautiful as name suggests. We came out of the panicky stage. Staff told us that this has happened for the first time in last 40 years. So somewhere I am very happy for witnessing the incidence. We spent some time and had tea coffee and asked for bill. To everyone’s surprise Taj didn't charged us a single penny. The bill amount was Rs.7500/- which is not a less amount. They proved again why they are so prestigious and number one hotel in our country. Their motto is customer satisfaction. Actually the calamity was natural, it was no one’s fault but as we as in taj’s customers faced inconvenience so according to them their customer was not satisfied so no reward.

                We came out of taj and hired a taxi to reach CST station .The environment was actually much tensed. Trees had fallen over vehicles, blockage of water, traffic, fire brigadiers and police helping the city out etc. After seeing all this we understood that during the mishap we were in the safest place called

ELECTIONS ALL OVER

KICHAD PHEKNA

                        After seeing all this election mania all over, I couldn’t resist writing anything about election 2014. This is my first election you can say in which I am looking forward to. No I am not contesting for any seat don’t worry I am looking forward because I will be voting for the first time. I am thinking what to write as so many are writing so much that I don’t have anything fresh to write.  But this is my post, my blog , my life and I am living in a democratic country , so I can do anything .Be Ready!!!

                        The most interesting and crucial part of any election is “KICHAD PHEKNA” on each other’s party members. One fine morning you wake up with pleasant mood, ask someone to make a cup of tea with some ginger to feel fresher. You sit in the terrace  ,cold breeze is flowing around. You have your cup in one hand and the fresh newspaper in the other hand. In such ecstatic environment all you see is NaMo is saying Rahul Gandhi is hopeless. RaGa is throwing back that Modi is casteist. Kejriwal is saying he and his party are the only nice people in the world and all others are evil and corrupt. If this is case in centre in Maharashtra Thackeray brothers are stealing the thunder. Media people are taking advantage of this entire feud. Arnab Goswami the star reporter is shouting again and again on the politicians and asking the same questions. Though nation doesn’t need any answer, he troubles these innocent lives.

                        The Nayak-2 of election14 is seriously unstoppable. At certain age one feels that I should try this profession or I should go for other, then we settle on one thing for life. But in case of Nayak-2 he is not ready to settle for any profession. He started with being an Engineer, then Income tax officer, Social worker, Protester, Chief Minister and now next he is aiming for PM’s chair. Who knows one day he will challenge Barak Obama’s chair too.  The hero of election14 Mr.Modi is touring so much now days that even google.com cannot identify his exact location. After elections I guarantee that he will face withdrawal symptoms that he is staying at one place for so long period and he is not accusing congress for anything. The so called ‘Shehzada’ might be still having nightmares of Arnab.  He is having nausea of words like empowerment, women, system, and youth.

                        O God! I have done the same thing what these idiots are doing i.e. just talking rubbish. Only by thinking and talking about these devils even you lose your elegant character.  I seriously don’t know when our country will get a group of good people as GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. Anyway I will have my tea as it is getting cold. Bye J
