Thus ends the week...

A week of ale drinking ends today...
Off to the native land for a week now... The clean air, the rains, the coconut trees, the feminine famine... hmm...

(Hope it'd be eventful enough for a slightly more interesting post...)

DVD

...that's short for Dev D that's short for Devdas that's short for loser mellow dramatic drunken lover.

Luckily Mr. Kashyap didn't think so. Neither did Mr. Deol juniorest. (How the hell was he born in that family anyway!?)

Finally got some time off my busy schedule [sic] to watch it, a can of ale in hand.
Apparently one can is not enough, as A-One-Shoe-Man had rightly warned me. He should know...
He'd watched it, all alone and wanted me to watch it more that anyone else wanted.
Happy now?

Now the problem is that I had heard sooo much about it that I could no longer form an opinion about the flick myself.

So here's all I can say about it:
It's a pretty good movie.

(Anyways who wants to read a 'Dev D' review, roughly 23 million years after it has already faded away from their minuscule memories)
Heck, even Tapan had a hard time writing about the darn movie!

Next up, 'Gulaal'.
Please shut up, Mr. A-One-Shoe-Man.

The thing with Ganti is that, take him to a hill top and ask him to paraglide, he'd gladly go ahead and do it, but ask him if he wants to join you for a movie that's playing some 3 postal codes away, and that's too far for him...

Was just going through my older posts and man, is it boooooring... This is a dull place...

Had a lot (and some more) of Angoor Basundi yesterday, at a cousin's engagement.
Had a lot of Paal Adda Pradhaman at another function today. (I'll still complain about putting on weight and you can't do anything about it! - other than probably make fun of me.)

Had been to Bhivpuri Road last to last week.

Mistake #1, went in the summer heat.
Mistake #2, didn't make Chris take along at least 1 bottle of water to drink. (As Abhi suggested, next time onwards we'd all be taking an extra bottle of water, labeled with our names. And when Chris is thirsty, we'd just empty that bottle in front of his eyes.)


The Tree

So basically what we did, traveling 100 km in the burning April heat was, sit below the only goddamn (if it wasn't for it, we'd all have been roasted alive, food for vultures - wait, it's so hot there, even vultures wouldn't wanna hang around) tree near the Bhivpuri Lake Dam, and try to create music with the empty water/cold-drink bottles. Or maybe it was just the heat making us do that. (Blair Witch Part 2, anyone...?)

Oh, and ya, this is another guy who saved us...

The ice cream kinda thingy man

We did have a good time, after 15+ minutes of contemplation as to get into the lake or not, because of some IPL match that day. Have to make another trip in the rains... Anyone game?
Almost forgot about the highlight of the day! Had to throw away 2 cans of once-upon-a-time-chilled ale as it had turned hot in the heat. The disgrace...

Last week watched Bev D at Mondegar's, over a nice cold mug of ale...

And now I have successfully managed to get late for the Iron Maiden Flight 666 show. Have to learn the ways of the A-One-Shoe-Man... soon...

Eau de Chembur

This is just so awesome!
So when I am finally settled in Sweden(/Norway) and am reminded of home, I just have to go to the nearest mall and grab a vial of Chembur.

Didn't get me? Here and Here
