[K]Night Riders !!!

I was exhausted by the days work ... and when I reached my flat, it was already past 9.30 PM!!
I laid there on the bed.. and Heaven... so relaxed I was !! Even I was not in a mood to go out for a weekend. I love Friday nights ...where U can sleep as much as U want 'coz of the weekend next day !!
Tring-Tring.. and the $*((# Cell got up b4 me.... "Samya, where r u ?? Can u be here at Deccan ??"
Few frends from my hometown Nanded were here !! Shit.. I forgot in a bizi day that they are here and U supposed to come early to see them. OK... Where I was not going to have mmy dinner, now I need to dress-up again to go to Deccan all the way to mee to old School Pals !!
Hmmm.. I was kinda late but managed to be at Kamat Hotel on JM Road at around 10.30... I reached there.. and these ppl were coming out .. :( Sad.. How could I eat all alone ??
Anyways, forget the dinner, The pals were here.. such a warm big hug.... by everybody literally fills energy in you !! As it was a cold night, the warm hug was definitely an easy escape to u. We were ready to wander here and there... 3 bikes.. 6 ppl.. one night !!!
Such a nice plot ... First we stormed into Naturals .. I love their ice-creams !! I guess they had a better taste than others... Anyways, we were busy with cones in our hand.. and watching the cute chicks around :x !! It always feels gr8 when u r with ur bestesttttt Buddiessss.. who can actually read ur mind and know u from inside out !! Spent half an hour there... discussed where we wanted to be next for around 15 min... and moved to FC road !!!
The CCD was about to close.. and we were just beside Roopali where u can get a nice coffee while chatting with ur pals !! And I was already hungry .. so was having some chips and all tht while our chat was heating up. All d way giggeling, laughing loudly in d night, pulling each others legs... sharing every lighter moemnt that we experienced after our last meet.... It all was AMAZING !!

One small boy approached us with his lotsa baloons.. "Are yaar... yahan pe ek bhi ladki nahi ...jisako ye khareed ke de sakoon.. agarmeri GF hoti to saare khareed leta...." said one of us loudly.
There was this couple beside there... I said to the small boy to go to them and ask the girl to buy it. The small boy as said... appraoced the girl.. and she asked her BF to get this.. Bichara... had to buy all ... The small boy was happy ... and soon all d baloons were with the girls ....I thought lets get close to her.. and ask her for how much she is selling them ;) But stopped myself from doing something like this !!!
Soon, the ballons got distributed amongst the two..and the baloon fight was in the air !! We were the only specators of it as it involved a beautiful girl after all.Anyways, u justcan't watch that too for a long time... we moved our Adda from coffee shop to Sagar Arcade.. the famous spot !!!

THE NIGHT JUST STARETED ....
TO BE CONTD ......
===
I stop all this description here... but the night was indeed one of the most lived uo night !!

Recent Movies !!!

I have been seeing lotsa movies these days !!Its been like I was when I was just passed 10th. I was always in a hurry on friday morning to catch the films FDFS [ First Day First Show ].

Though, of late, I m not going for FDFS, I m watching every new release now !!I have watched.... Musafir, Oceans 12, Rok sako to Rok lo, hulchal, Mughal-E-Azam, Veer-Zara, and missed Swades despite the ticket : ( .. Will make it this weekend !!Anyways, Except M-A-E, all are kinda OK !!

RSTRL Sucks man... too much of lessons in it by Mangt. Guru Arindam Chowudahry !!!

Musafir rocks... 'coz of its Item songs ... 'coz of Sameera... 'coz of Aditya Pancholi's cop, and Above all, brilliant performance by Anil K. !!!!Sanjay Dutt is as usual... and has not many shades to the role... but has amazing Screen Presence !!!

Oceans 12, Haven't seen the first one... So, kinda confused throughout the movie ;)But..but ...but... Catherine Zeta Jones .. Oh my God.. she has the best features of all that U want in a girl !! She looks beautifully beautiful... and acts well too !!! Her lips are just made me crazy ... Bheege hoth tere... Pyaasa mann mera ... !! Oppppsss !!!

Swades... last week mera ticket nikala tha magar I couldn't make it.. Housefull movie but mera ticket waste gaya :(

Five Points Someone

Roaming on the streets can sometimes get u an interesting thing. We just moved into a book store by roadside on one of the weekends. Me, Shuchi and Vinayak, 3 of us were just looking at the books in the stall and Vinayak and shuchi were talking about the good literature that is available and which they read in recent times. I was bizi in looking at the stuff that I was interested in [;)]
Anyways, after VinShin's suggestion, Shuchi bought this book called "Five Points Someone" by Chetan Bhagat !!
Again Shuchi bought one new book to read which I was sure he won't complete it as usual !!
But thsi time I was wrong, Shuchi ne us book ko 2 din me hi khatam kar diya and asked me to have a look at it !! See, I am not into reading at all except the magazines and newspapers which I never miss to read out!!
But, as I am having ample time in my hands to pass the time, I thought of reading it !! While on the drive to company, I started to read it!! At last I started !!
This book is really amazing, the story of 3 friends in the IIT Delhi campus. The story starts with a humorous note. The protogonist Hari, his smart friend Ryan and their 'always in trouble friend' Alok !! These friends start to enjoy their college days than to concentrate on the studies like we did in our Engineering !! The story unfolds some true touching scenes, though Hari is the protogonist, Ryan, Alok and even Neha [ Hari's GF ] is given their space to voice thir views in the story.
Every scene described was like happening live in front of me. Cheta's style of writing is very lively yaar !!
Every relation in the story unfolds before you and you start liking the characters for their realistic approach.
"The Longest Day in My Life" is the chapter that is really exciting, well written and that you would like to finish in stretch reading.
Anyways, a must read book and chance to live through those old college days again ...!!!

Bansal's Wedding !!!

December is the marriage month, I guess. I heard that some of the "muhurats" were best to get marry in the last Nov. and Early Dec. Probably that may be the reason one of my classmate Yogesh Bansal, who is a good friend of mine was getting ready to tie the knot !!
It came to us as a little surprise but anyways, he called personally and asked to be there and as it was on weekend, no excuse could be entertained !!
4th Dec, Saturday : We were 6 from Poona going to attend Bansal's wedding. Myself, Shuchi, Shiv Bade, Sujit Karpe, Amit Shah and Kunal. It was a journey of around 10 hours to Akola. Kunal has wonderfully mentioned all the marriage details and all that in a mail on our college group. I am too lazy to write down again the same thing in my own words when Kunal already did it ...
The Wedding pics are available here ...

Kunal Wrote:

" Hi friends,
Hope that all of u have had the time to see Yogesh's marriage pics. And I think all of us surely have 1 question. How did he manage to find such a beautiful
bride for himself? I mean...how did the bride say "yes" so soon for Yogi? ha ha...just kidding.
Well, I would like to take this opportunity to take you through the day's proceedings as I saw it, to the best of my ability.
Also, I hope that Sujit, Samyak, Shuchi, Bade and Amit could well publish their version of the marriage episode. Especially Sujit......he's done a lot of
things that could make anyone feel proud. :) :) Sujit had created a lot of hype about Yogesh's Saalis (4 of them, as per Sujit). So, the mood was great and that
probably explains the pics which Chittu was asking about.

Saturday 6AM :- ARRIVAL IN AKOLA
We had taken a Volvo (Bade's favorite...a VOLVO..he
doesn't like any other bus) from Pune to Akola. It was
freezing cold in the morning. Our friend, Raghu Kedia
from VIT came to receive us and then we went to
Greenland cottage. This cottage , as Yogesh mentioned
later, was built by a Sindhi....made me feel proud of
my community :) :)
We chatted a lot for 2 hrs...Raghu briefly described
the events of the day before . We were already getting
the feel of the event. then, after some tea and snacks
(hopefully Bansal paid for them later...), at the
cottage, we decided it’s high time we got ready.
Yogesh was supposed to pick us up at 9 AM. he arrived
and took us to a grand Bhavan, where all the events of
the day were scheduled.

Saturday 10 AM - 1:30PM : Breakfast,lunch, what else?
All of us were hungry. those who weren't, just one
look at the breakfast, and off we went.....pounced
onto everything...wow...everything was just delicious
: halwa, mithai, idli, wada, dosa, sambar, chutney,
parathas, dahi and the list goes on...phew , it was a
heavy breakfast. then, we sat down for about 3 hours
just chatting about
various things....obviously, there were fruit juices
in between...time was just flying and then!!!!!
Yogesh did the round of formal introduction between us
and his Saalis. Sujit heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally, something substantial has happened, he might
have said for sure. Also, it was Yogesh's parents'
wedding anniversary too. What perfect timing. we had a
cake-cutting ceremony. Look, it’s already 1pm, time
for lunch. Lunch was great as
usual. After lunch, Shuchi felt he had hogged like
hell and promised that he would skip dinner for sure
(that never happened, I can tell). We were feeling
like toys with EXTRA-STUFFING inside. What could be
better after such good breakfast and lunch....some
afternoon sleep, of course. you guessed it right :).
Sujit and Bade went to help bansal
get ready for the Ghodi ceremony. This ceremony has a
better name..sorry, can't remember it, so referring to
it as GHODI ceremony...sorry !!!

Saturday : 3pm - 5pm : Ghodi ceremony.
Yogi was ready. The strongest Ghodi from Akola had
been ordered. One look at the Ghodi and you could make
out that she had been working out heavy in the Gym
especially for the occasion. I must say, it was an
uphill task to climb n that Ghodi....but, very
cautiously, Yogesh did it. Everybody heaved a sigh of
relief...
Then, we took on to the street outside and danced a
bit. Yogesh went to seek the blessings in a temple
just before the pheras and we had a Varmala ceremony
at the entrance of the bhavan. that was exciting.

Saturday : 5:30pm to 7:30pm : Marriage rituals.
This was more of rituals ceremony. As Yogi told, it
was very tiring. Well, Yogi, this is just the
beginning. Also, there was the fun part about hiding
the jootis and Mr. Karpe outwitted the SAALIS , which
is seen in the pics Chittu was really curious about.
More comments will be posted in this column by the man
himself, Mr. Karpe. So,keep watching this space for
more insight.

Saturday : 7:30pm to 8:30pm : Getting ready for
Reception.
Yogi was very happy. Akhir shaadi ho hi gayee. He had
written a few SHERS about Reshu bhabhi and of course,
something for the Saalis too. He practiced them in
front of us. We also came up with a few suggestions
and tried adding some spice to his hardwork. But, Yogi
had to get ready soon. We helped him do just that and
he was ready for the reception.

Saturday : Starting 8:30pm onwards :Reception.
Let me tell u guys, I was extremely impressed by the
artistic decoration of the entire lawn...not to forget
the stage decoration too....it was beautiful. There
were an amazing display of fireworks which just lit up
the skies totally. Of course, there was this
never-ending variety of food, which, Mr. Datar
including all of us, did not spare.
Then, suddenly, we realized , it was already 10pm and
time to leave. We went to the stage, wished the couple
and took away all these precious memories back home
with us....Sujit had more memories than all of us
combined, I am sure.

All in all, a great time for bonding with great
friends, which has definitely taken our friendship to
another level.

That’s it from me guys. Hope that the rest of the
attendees share their thoughts too. Hope it was not
boring.

Yogi, here's wishing you and Reshu bhabhi a very happy
married life together."
========================
Kunal has added evey bit of detail that he can remember !!
Throughout the journey and marriage, we had a very nice time !!
The time that is just as valuable as the old college days !!

Last weekend of Nov.

Hmmm.... again it was a nice weekend !!

Saturday :
~~~~~~~~~
Seen the movie "HulChal" ... had a dinner outside (as usual) ... roaming on the streets of FC and MG.
The exams are going on for most of the students, so was not rush on these roads and so, the happening crowd was missing from here ;)
Anyways, if you are looking for a review of "HulChal", here it goes ...
The movie has a large number of characters having role for everybody. So, actually you couldn't find who is the main hero or heroine of the film if you exclude the songs from the film !!
Priyadarshan is still have not found that "HeraPheri" touch back. This movie is not near to "HeraPheri" or even "Hungama". Kareena sucks... ( I don't like her, may be thats the reason !!)
Akshaye and Arshad Warsi stands out, the comedy is sufficient to make you laugh sometimes cheaply. The action is also there as everybody is shown as a DADA kinda macho person !!
Don't expect the story of a film here.... its not worth mentioning !!

Sunday :
~~~~~~~
The day started late as usual and when I had enough sleep before and after lunch, we [me and Shuchi] got out in the evening !!!
Shuchi wanted to buy a pair of Formal Shoes, so again it was head to MG road !!
Been to Lee-Cooper's show room there, and he got his shoe selected within half an hour. So less time for such an expensive shopping !!
Then as we were near to Nachi's [ our college Buddy.. now rarely get to see his smiling face ] home, so called him there at MG and waited for him for another half an hour !!
Had a great time once he was there, sat at Marg-O-Rin, had some snacks there and departed after a long chat and timepass !!
Its really great to meet the old pals and revise the memories and share some new experiences !!!
After that, came back home in the night and ready to face the monday and 5 working days that were on their way !!

Winter is here ....

"Samyak, you have to get up tommorrow early for a gym, its been long time that you are avoiding it. Try to get up early and come into the routine", I said to myself [ as usual ] while sleeping. The cell was set to ring at 6.30 in the morning !!
The cell, "what the hell with this cell, can't it keep silence !!", I was disturbed in my sugar-sleep. Shit !!
"Its already 6.40 and Samyak, u have to go to gym", I mumered in sleep... "Yeah ..I will .. just a nap for 10 more minutes". I tightened my shawl around me and went back to my sugar-sleep for more 1.5 hours !!
The winter is really started and its getting more cold everyday. The sleep in the morning is just unavoidable.
The sweaters need to get out of the bag. The morning sunshine is just like one more warm bath..!!
Everything is so beautiful around. Some ppl say winter is better than Summer and Monsoon as it neither have unbearable high temperatures nor the daily raining !! You just have to wear some warmth cloths like sweaters !!
Due to coldness of the winter, my laziness just blossoms to its high. Sleeping til the sun knocks on your window, and in the night, go to the bed for warmth so early, the winter brings me more sleep than normal.
Hopefully, I start to work out early from the next week, I need to !!
Need to adjust to the rising winter.

The meaning of Samyak

Almost everybody I met is curious about my name. Its so unique and never-heard-before name.
The origin of "Samyak" is in Sanskrit language. "Samyak" means "Perfect" or "Ideal" or "Complete".
The word "Samyak" is being used by Jain and Buddha communities from the ancient times.
Interesting name ... and also has some interesting history !!
If you think your name also has some nice meaning .. don't forget to comment in here and lemme know !!

Weekend !!

This weekend it was Mughal-E-Aazam. We need to run a lot to watch the movie, as it was sunday all shows were running to packed houses. We run from E-Square to Inox to Alankaar. And at last got it at Alankar. [ This hall has a very bad sound system :( ].

What a movie !!! Gr8 artwork. Intense scenes... and a nice battlefield !!!

K.Asif's work is just brilliant. The prominent roles of Salim [DilipKumar], Anarkali [Madhubala], Akbar [Prithviraj Kapoor] and Salim's mother , Ajit's role of Salim's friend are all well written and played perfectectly by these fine actors.

Most of the scenes between Akbar and Anarkali will stand out. The dialagues mainly influneced by Urdoo are worth a clap for !! And should I mention anything about the music and songs ... ??

Madhubala looks superb ... and no question about her acting skills too !! She brings life to the character of Anarkali. She steals the show !!

All in all, a worth movie here to watch for, such a great epic and such a sacrificial Love-Story !!
At least its far far far better than those foolish SRK movies like Veer-Zara and all those running around !!
WORTH A WATCH !!

I am Here....

After seeing all my frends taking up blogging ... I too jumped into this blooging scene.
Lets see how it goes... will write soon here... keep watching !!!
