Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Dilon mein tum apni Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho Toh zinda ho tum Nazar mein khwabon ki Bijliyan leke chal rahe ho Toh zinda ho tum Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise Aazad rehno sikho Tum ek dariya ke jaise Lehron mein behna sikho Har ek lamhe se tum milo Khole apni bhaayein Har ek pal ek naya samha Dekhen yeh nigahaein Jo apni aankhon mein Hairaniyan leke chal rahe ho Toh zinda ho tum Dilon mein tum apni Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho Toh zinda ho tum. -Zindagi na Milegi Dobara.

Go Goa. (North Goa Beaches).

Image
Our Goa tour started from North Goa.  On reaching Panaji we crossed the Mondovi river and drove staright to Calangute. The distance from Panaji to Calangute is almost 15 kms and the road condition is also good. Also driving to any beach in North Goa is relatively easy as you have direction markers everywhere on the road and also people are very friendly and helpful.  We reached Calangute around 3:30 PM. The road near the beach is bubbling with tourists and various shops that sell everything from fancy beach wear, beach accessories like sunglasses, hats and all.... to goan handicrafts, readymade seafood(yummy), tattoo shops and lots more. The road is also crowded with tourist buses and cars.There are plenty of budget hotels and homestays in Calangute.   Since we did not book any hotel in advance so we first went for hotel searching. The best hotel in Calangute is undoubtedly Calangute Residency owned by GTDC. It is located nearest to the beach and from the cottages you can have a slice

The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty (U/A)

Image
Director- Ben Stiller | Cast-Ben Stiller, Kristen Wiig, Shirley MacLaine, Adam Scott, Sean Penn Running Time: 114 Minutes As imagined by Ben Stiller, Walter Mitty is a man out of step with his time. He has evolved in a modern office drone with an unusually active fantasy life. He is also, in some respects, the opposite of just about every other comic hero in American movies today, including many played by Stiller. And The Secret Life of Walter Mitty , Directed by Stiller (Who Takes the Title role), has a dreamy melancholy tone quite different from what you might expect to find in a big-budget Holiday comedy. In a world dominated overgrown boy-men with runaway kids, Walter suffers from a highly unusual affliction: an excess of maturity. The first thing we see him doing is balancing his chequebook with a ball point pen. Though we might be tempted, at first, suppose that his highly developed sense of responsibility is the result of a compulsive personality, we soon learn that it arises fr

The "greatest story ever told" that flopped on the first two days of release, but went on to rewrite the rules of the box office game and has now become a watershed in Bollywood History, has often been described as the "most Complete film" watched and re-watched in generation after generation. a tale of friendship and love, revenge and retribution. Sholay has now added another dimension--- the third, affording views of the generation of opportunity to relieve the magic that mesmerised movie lover 38 years ago   through the narrative and visual richness of sholay never really needed to piggyback on 3D, the release of the multi-starrer in theatre is one hell of the nostalgia trip, as was evicted from the deafening cat-calls wolf whistles that greeted iconic dialogues and every memorable character at the first day first show. While all 207 minutes of sholay is worth a re-watch, here are the sequences th
