CrossWord + Gayatri Devi!!


I have been to CrossWord BookStore for many times in their various locations across Pune.
Its great to spend some time in looking around the books, the bestsellers, the music and all thts for FREE !! [:D]. They even have free parking area... most of the time, my meeting point with everyone who wants to meet me on weekend.

"Hey Samyak, ab kahan hai.. and kahan mil sakata hai.. "
"Oye .. tu ek kaam kar.. shaam ko itane baje.. CrossWord ke saamne mil "
It goes like that.

I love psasing my time with books .. mostly reading abt the plot on the backside cover, going thru some magazines, and yeah checking around the babes too [;)]. Listening to latest music is possible with CrossWord only... though I never bought any audio/video from Crossword (Planning to buy one CD next time I go there, C'mon... I will surely buy this time ). I wonder how could they go like this, people normally reading the books in free and hardly buying anything at the original price. (Actually, the pirated books are available just outside CrossWord and that too in most of roadside shops in very cheap rates ;) ). Though, sometimes I too buy from CrossWord but surely not every time :PP
=====
Anyways.. this weekend I spent a lot time scrolling in CrossWord as I was made to wait by my friend (And I hate waiting for someone.. and mostly when someone couldn't care of ur time :XX ). I came across this beautiful autobiography on Rajmata Gayatri Devi.

Wow.. Man.. She is so beautiful, cute and most of all a true photogenic face. I could rate her at the topmost in the most beautiful woman of the century. A true maharani she is... she played most sports, loved Shikaar and that book covered all this in beautiful pictures of her. She was really a great person who just loved her state, carried out various social changes for the betterment of the people.

She is truly awesome.. just go through the link above.. and check out for more ;)

I also went through Bejan's Yearly predictions about the sugn signs. No no... I was checking out the information he had mentioned there in the book and now even din't remember what he actually wrote abt my sun sign [;)]. I was just curious .. and had time.. so I got through the book. The book is compiled with all the nitty-gritty details about the sun signs. It has predictions about yearly, then monthly and then week by week. Ohh man... he must be genius to write all about this before the start of the year. He studied too much before writing.. offcourse.. he has to.. he is an established Astrologer. For starters, he is the associated with TOI from a very long time.

Anyways.. every minute passed in CrossWord is worth where u can actually go though the kinda books u wanted.. and if at all .. can buy if u want to complete the book.
Thanks to them ... always.. as they have come to rescue me for killing the time in more good way than just wasting in waiting for other pepole.

P.S. : I came to know abt Sonu's Show in Pune a CrossWord only. So, thanx to them again.
Anyways.. CrossWord Rocks !!

Parineeta

Parineeta.. means "The Married Woman" ( I came to know while writing this ;) )
Anyways, this Vidhu Vinod Chopra's musical love story based on Sarat Chandra Chatopadhyaay's poetic prose is worth a watch several times. So, what makes it so worth is the treatment of film. Being giving attention to finer details of the every frame of the film makes it stand out. The casting of the film is just perfect with everybody performing to their best of abilities, no non-sense dailogues neither lose screenplay. Every character its own charm !!

The USP of the film is MUSIC... too good.. composed by Shantanu Moitra (Never heard him b4 :( ) and penned down by Swanand Kirkire. Every song is eternal mostly sung by Sonu ( He is performing in Pune this week.. and I'm gonna catch him this time.. ), and very sweet Shreya Ghoshal, Even Chitra (remember her ??)is back with "Raat akeli to". Anyways.. what I meant is this film is must for music lovers, and bade parde ka mazaa hi alag hai.

The film revolves around Shekhar (saif), the budding musician, and Lolitha's (Vidya..uhh..) love. The neibours are madly in love with each other and everything seems to be right till the man Girish (Sanju Baba) enters the scene. Girish, every woman's dream man, takes care of the family of Lolitha in their worst of times paying their debts/hospitals and et.all. Naturally, Shekhar gets annoyed with his presence around Lolitha and some misunderstanding and boom.... seems both lost each other. Though love strikes one good holy night between Shekhar and Lolitha, they exchange the Malas and got married in a bedroom by accident though [;)]
Girish take everybody from Lolitha's family to London and some news of their marriage comes to Shekhar. He leaves his music for love and gets into his Papa's business (The Villain, u could say ) and agrees to marry ... hmmm...ummm.. f'got her name..:D played by apni Diya Mirza [:P]
.
Anyways... film is headed towards a final climax in at the Shekhar's marriage ceremony. In all, everybody is happy after the climax.. and why not... Alls Well tht Ends Well.. hai na ??
The Ultimate Bollywood seductress, Rekha is back in an item song u could say... but dunno why . she is still as young and beautiful as she was ever... watch her out [:P]

In all a gr8 product ... and good music throught the film is really a high point.. good musci..
Listen it here.
