My Space

I went out with my school friend to watch the movie Oblivion yesterday. We went to Koshy's before that, and had a wholesome late lunch made up of scrambed eggs on toast, and mutton cutlets. It was really good..Watched oblivion at REX, which was a very passable movie at best. I was eagerly waiting for it to end. I thought Morgan Freeman would deliver an awesome performance, but that did not happen. The story gave him no space to perform. Tom Cruise had his usual exasperated expression on, throughout the movie, and the storyline was drab. It looked like Wall E met Total Recall. We dined at Shangrila, and had haka noodles and garlic chicken, which were really good. I had chinese food after a long time. Used to be a regular at Dragon Palace, which shut down last year.  I waited for over an hour for my bus which never showed up, and I had to finally take a rickshaw home. I had to shell out 150 bucks for the ride(One and a half). I guess Bangalore will never change. The ride was w...

It's been a week since Christmas now, and I finally put my mind together to write about it. It was an average start, as I lumbered out of bed and remembered to head off to Hosur, which has become something of a routine now. I headed to majestic bus station,and got on a bus to yashwantpur. There were about 8 of us on the bus from the start to the finish as the driver was replaced midway. I bought a 10 buck ticket, and waited at platform number 1. The wait was uneventful, except that a heard a thud which was a railway employee falling to the platform floor, in what appeared to me to be a fit of epilepsy. He got himself together though, with a bit of help from the passengers, and surprisingly, no medical assistance was called for. I asked people around me where I would be able to board the Yashwantpur-Hosur Special, and was swiftly instructed to go to Platform 6. I went there and waited as a long distance train was getting cleaned and washed thoroughly. Then I saw a train pulling int...

Here's me again, after quite some time. I've been quite busy lately, not with anything serious, but with living life in general. And after a big lull in going out and enjoying myself, I was back at it this week. Incidentally, I happened to watch three movies, My Name is Khan, Invictus, and Up in the Air, in the course of this week, and went to places like Garuda and Forum in Koramangala, after a long long time. Let me have a jab at writing movie reviews today, and here goes nothing. 1. My Name is Khan- Is a film that I went to watch with no expectations from it. That's because its a Karan Johar film. It turns out, Johar has masterd the art of copying themes from famous English movies, and the plot and settings, are directly taken from them. The parts where he fills in himself, are drab and lackluster, with stupid sentiments and cheesy lines, that can only be from bollywood. In this movie, SRK made an attempt to copy Dustin Hoffman's character from Rain Man, that of the...
