Just My Luck

Was reading Shahrukh's interview in yesterday's Bombay Times, and one thing that struck me was that is he really that good or is it purely luck!! I think its a bit of both, coz nobody can go up in life on the basis of jus luck. Most of the times i have heard ppl saying that this guy doesn't know to act, he stutters and stammers.....god knows how ppl like him! Its strange that a person who has the mentioned inadequacies has been literally ruling the silver screen for over 15 years. He has not only proved himself as an actor but he has also been a successful anchor, producer and now an owner of a cricket team! Before all of u pounce on me, lemme tell u something this post is not about SRK, its about people like him who have been more or less successful in whatever they have done in life. Its about those ppl who have done well but most of the times the credit for their success has been given away to luck! Is it fair to take away all the credit from a person and give it to their lucky stars!? Thats for all of u to decide. I hav known such ppl and thats y i can say that they r indeed responsible for their own success and its ok to give them the credit for that. I hav known this guy who has always got things in life without struggling much. Anything u talk of, be it education, be it the love of his life, or be it his job. When everybody in his college was struggling to get thru a good company during campus placements, he got thru the first company he sat for! At that time everybody said that he dint deserve to be there and that he got it by fluke. He fell in love with this girl who studied in his school but then she got transferred and he felt that this is where his story had to end. But something inside him dint let him rest in peace and soon he realised his love for that girl was true and he tried to get in touch with her......She was livin in a different city now, and chances were that she cud be seeing somebody else but then he took a chance and came to know that she still loved him and as they say the rest is history. But the point in all of this is.......was he really lucky or was he truly genuine in giving his best shot in whatever he did! I will not deny his luck.....he was lucky for sure to have things his way. But what i want to bring to light is his ingenuity, his want to hav something so badly that he had to hav it. So tell me hw many of u hav heard this from others that "Arey he got it coz he's lucky and not bcoz he deserves it!". And how far do u agree with this statement. My say is a person can definitely succeed if he has a gr8 combination of intelligence and luck.

The Review of The "Tashan"

So here comes the 2nd day review of the much awaited YRF movie "Tashan". I don't really know what genre to put this movie in.... I guess its best to say that it truly is "The Desi Masala, The Inglish Ishtyle"!! I dont' want to reveal the plot so i will just give you all a brief overview of the movie since it's released just a day back. Everybody has played there role well, if u ask me i would have to say Akshay Kumar has really done a good job as "Bachhan Pandey" (its a treat to watch him). Saif plays his own cool self as "Jimmy Cliff", I personally dint like his look in Tashan but he does manage to look hot in quite a few scenes. Anil Kapoor tickles your funny bone with his Hinglish as "Bhaiyya ji"....which can actually spoil ur English!! And last but the least.....Kareena Kapoor plays a good gurl turned into a Bitch as Pooja Singh. She has played her role well too.....but sorry to disappoint you guys her size zero avatar jus sucks!! And if u r expecting her to emerge out of the sea ala Halle Berry (Die Another Day) in a bikini....the scene lasts for hardly 5 seconds and doesn't impress at all! For that matter i cudn't even hear a single whistle in the theatre....Really feel sad for Kareena, all this hard work to become Size Zero seems to hav gone waste. But i think she will do better as an FTV model coz she sure qualifies as one now! ;) So all in all my rating for this movie would be average, where the first half was gripping and fast paced, the 2nd half at the same time was slow and sluggish. Music, if u ask me my personal favorites are "Dil Haara Re", "Dil Dance Maare" (a funny song with nice choreography) and the title track (a very peppy and catchy number). So do watch it and let me know ur remarks. :)

Back to Solitude....

Yeah its back to me and my loneliness.....Parents hav left for Europe and my guy left yesterday! :( Its like suddenly the whole house has gone quite as if something bad has happened. I dunno if its true or its my own conception coz i am all alone. But its extremely difficult for a talkative person like me to stay alone.....its impossible for me to explain how is it to live alone. May be some ppl can describe it better but i hav never lived alone in my life and this is not the first time but its irritating to b on ur own, u need someone to share ur daily life happenings. I can't keep bugging my guy all the time on phone and besides nothin compares to physical presence. But y m i sulking...especially when my guy is coming this weekend again!! :) He cudnt see me so sad and unhappy....and he booked his tickets for the coming weekend....jus to make me feel better. He's such a sweetheart!!! So absolutely love him....Thanks a lot for bringing him into my life god! :D

Update

I hav been unable to write anything these days....i know its gonna sound very cliched but yes i hav been very busy with work and other things in life!! My parents are going to Europe and i am gonna be all alone for the coming two weeks! :( I m gonna be so bored....coz i m so used to talking to my mum abt how did the day go and blah, blah, blah. At the work front i am picking up the processes soon, i hav some very good team members who are extremely sweet & helpful. And now, the best part is that my guy is coming tomorrow, i am gonna be completely unavailable for the next three days!! :) So please excuse me guys and gurls....Will be back soon and probably write everyday as i will be all on my own. It kinda spooks me out to imagine living all alone in a 3 BHK. But i suppose i'll be able to pull thru this phase (hopefully). Anyways its a chow from me and will be back soon.

With loads of love,
Ria

Size Zero Obsession!!

This is not about me being obsessed with size 0, this is about the current trend which says that being size 0 is in!! I really dunno how can something so unhealthy be cool!? And I absolutely fail to understand the reason behind this craze to become a size zero! Initially i thought this trend was only prevalent in the western countries....(who can forget the dead pan expressions of the models who strut down the ramp on FTV). But now this trend seems to have caught up in India as well! Wonder what happened to all those crusaders who used to say that this is something that exists only in the west and that we are Indians and Indian women have the most voluptuous/curvy figure and this makes us look healthier, blah, blah, blah. Welcome to the new goddess Kareena Kapoor, who looks as thin as she can at 48 kgs!! Does that mean that the malnutritioned look is in...ok i wonder what that means though. Director Aditya Chopra surely seems to have a thing for the "Size 0 Look" coz he's the one who started it with Dhoom: 2, where Ash was asked to lose weight drastically so that she cud carry off all the clothes the way she did in the movie. And now everybody seems to be waiting with bated breath to see Kareena sizzle in a bikini in her forthcoming film "Tashan". According to me, she is not looking gr8 wth bones jutting out from all over her body, to think of it i would say Bipasha anyday looked far more sexier in a bikini in Dhoom: 2. Well I am not against losing weight or anything of that sorts but what i want to say is that losing weight to insane levels is definitely not recommended. Anyways it all depends on the kind of reactions Kareena will evoke with her new look in Tashan. Although, the media is already raving and ranting about her new avatar which resembles her now close cousins of the west like Victoria Beckham, i want to know what does our 'Hoi Polloi' (that means public) feel about it. Feel free to agree or disagree with me.

Movie Review: Race

Where shud i start from....Abbas Mustan have done it again! A typical Abbas Mustan movie is all i can say about Race.....with lots of twists, action, style and last but not the least 'Attitude'. Gurls who love Saif will love this movie coz he's lukin absolutely HOT!! And no need for the men to sulk either coz there's plenty of eye candy for them as well in the form of Bipasha, Katrina & Sameera (in decreasing order of sexiness). I found the movie quite gripping and it was difficult to guess what is goin to happen next. The screenplay is good, although some unnecessary songs cud have been easily avoided. I liked two songs i.e. 'Pehli nazar mein' (which is apparently a copy of an Indonesian song) & 'Race sanson ki' (the title track). I found the script quite original although i did read in the papers a day or two back that its a rip-off of an english movie....I am not too much of an English movie buff so i wudnt know!! :D So, my final take is that Race is definitely worth a one time watch.....i wudnt recommend it for a second time coz the genre of the movie is such that u cant see it again!
