The Dark Knight is stalking my city
Those who know me are familiar with my preference for the blue-eyed alien in blue tights with a red cape, but for the past few weeks my city has been taken over by the other superhero, the dark and mysterious furry mammal. His nemesis Joker has been spotted in his purple convertible just outside "Wayne Industries" - the Board of Trade building in Chi-town. Now there is a burnt up helicopter under the rails of the "EL" at the intersection of Madison and Wells. I take it, there's a crash in the movie :-) Its very fascinating, there are rumors of sightings of the batmobile and the batcycle. I am going to try and hunt them down one of these nights. Maybe i can catch a glimpse of the Batman himself. (I know where he lives), the batcave is Lower Wacker drive..
Jhoom Barabar Jhoom - I swear i liked it better as an English Movie
I enjoyed JBJ, there were some dull moments but all in all i thought watchable movie. I loved Abhi's turn as a Punjabi wannabe (Ricky Thakral), Preity was solid as always, Lara was HOT HOT HOT. The story was the same boy meets girl, boy and girl lie to each other, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl need to cover up those lies. Good music. Just one point though, the Big B needs to stop making these appearances in his sons movies. He looks silly and out of place, let it go daddy ur boy is decent enough to pull in his own audiences.
Another movie note, during the entire movie, Abhi's ringtone was "Hey Handsome", the starting words to Kajrare mouthed by Ash, For the last year or so since Bunty aur Bubli came out, i had recorded those words onto my cell and made it my ringtone.. Dude stole my gal now he stole my ringtone :-)

Aap ka Suroor - HR ki Tanhaaiyaaaaaaa
I have a confession to make.. this may shock some people who read this blog, but here goes.. I am a Himmesh Reshammiya Fan. I love his music, i love his stupid lyrics and belive it or not i can stand his nasally voice. His tunes are the catchiest in the last few years. Plus i can sing along and not feel too bad about my hoarse(horse?) voice :-)
Either way i had made up my mind to watch his movie since i heard they were working on it on my last trip to India. I figured, what the heck, we know he can put together an extended music video. Here's what i thought of the movie, HR cannot act to save his life, Hanssikka or however she spelled her name is a Juhi Chawla wannabe but she doesn't have that cuteness that made Juhi and that eventually made her irritating. Malls (Mallika) is around just for her usual, strip, get into a shower, try and seduce the hero and disappear role. The writing was shoddy and the script very predictable. But i enjoyed very much the couple of jokes the supporting cast cracks on HR in his presence, theres one about his nasally singing, theres one about his cap wearing and there's a scene where he explains his dour expressions. Those jokes got me my $2 worth.
All in all, good songs bad movie, can do better...

Where's Satya?
My thoughts for the month....
>> I missed out on millions of $$ last month because i didn't put my Harry Potter predictions (listed in a much earlier post) into a book and sell it. I was sooooooooooo right!!!
>> I hate spoilers... simply despise people who put them up.. This is supposedly a book for kids, many of us "Kids" have lived these books for 7 years or more.. And then some Idiot posts spoilers on the web, every page possible, MSN, Google u name it they had it. Yes u know what happened to Harrry, whoop de dooo now shut up and let others finish reading the book so they can enjoy the suspense.
>> Deep breaths Satya let go of the anger.....
>> Chef Ramsey of Hell's Kitchen is my kind of guy.. i have been known to blow up like him a couple of times. He's funny and He's consistent...
>> Wait did India just escape a bad loss and then come back to win a test in England... im gonna walk around next week with all my fingers crossed... Maybe just maybe it will rain for 3 days and my Men in Blue will finally win a Test Series outside the sub-continent for the first time since 1984.. Sachin, Saurav, Laxman, Kumble if u guys want a crowning moment before u retire this is it.. I think this time u have some divine help on ur side or someone sold thier souls to u-know-who.
