Dil Chahta Hai ~27~





Well, now I can happily boast out that I actually have seen DIL CHAHTA HAI 27 times and counting.... I am actually not a movie buff but this movie simply rocks man !!!
I can't resist myself when this movie comes, and for all those of you who have not seen this movie, u Guys have certainly missed something in life.... don't believe me... Watch it for yourself !!
Well I have tried to give a summary...ya, u can call it a Review, but it's hard to put this movie in words, believe me folks.It goes like this..................

It is the story of three friends Akash (Aamir) Sameer (Saif) and Siddhart (Akshaye Khanna). Although friends they, are three distinct characters. Each has his own view of life, career and love. Akash, for instance, does not believe much in love and has a very carefree attitude towards life. ‘Easy-come-easy-go’ is his credo. Even his close friend Shalini (Preity Zinta) keeps bickering about his non-belief in platonic love. Sameer (Saif), on the other hand is very much in love and at no cost willing to hurt the sentiments of the girl in his life. He is an emotional character who wears his heart on his sleeve but doesn’t have a clear view of life. Siddhart (Akshaye) is the most mature and quiet of the three. He is observing in nature, lets out his emotions on a painting canvas and seems to have a deep understanding of life. Sid, as his friends fondly call him, is enamored with a lonely divorcee Tara Jaiswal (Dimple Kapadia). But for Tara her work and her daughter are her be-all and end-all. The film explores the ways in which the relation between this medley of characters develops. How well the three friends groove in with each other. And what changes come in their lives and their camaraderie with the coming of three women -- Shalini, Puja (Sonali Kulkarni), and Tara.
It has some good performances from its star cast. Aamir shows his command over facial expressions and swinging of moods to the hilt and Preity slips into the shoes of a modern (and emotional) gal with agility. And Saif too evens the score with his a-little-romantic and a-little-comic act. Surprisingly Akshaye Khanna steals the show with his resisted performance in which he says much by keeping quiet. While Sonali Kulkarni has been relegated to a marginal role Dimple cuts a dash with her imposing presence.
The film has a very different music from Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy trio, it completely rocks !!! And its sync sound technique (in which there is no dubbing and dialogues are recorded while acting) further enhances the performances of its cast.

My Rating (After viewing it 27 times) : "10/10"

Microsoft's AntiSpyware

Microsoft’s Antispyware really sucks, it was troubling me for the past 2 weeks and I finally managed to uninstall it.I don’t have any problems with Microsoft, I generally like their products and have nothing against them.But this Antispyware was literally spying on my computer.

First some of my programs won’t work just because of the fact Microsoft’s AntiSpyware was blocking them.
Secondly anything I install even a small program, it requires a permission.Antispyware takes too much time to load on Startup.
Lastly, when you try to shut it, you just can’t, for a moment it goes but after that you see it again in the sidebar.After all this I thought of getting rid of it and uninstalled it.As you all know it is still in the Beta stage, could be because of that – what say ???

As far as my rating goes after using it for almost an year I give it 5.5/10.
But, I have learnt one thing from this experience, that you should not install any program in the beta stage especially on your PC.
Any suggestions on which AntiSpyware should I use, or not use at all.Anyways if you have any opinion comment, even if you don’t feel free to comment.

~ 26 Ways To Kill Time ~

Occasionally, when you are not dealing with lack of time, you are dealing with an excess of time. While rare, it can happen. So, enclosed below, are twenty-six ways to kill time.

1.Organize. It never hurts to prepare for dealing with the lack of time.

2.Work. It never hurts to get money to spend for the next time time is plenty!

3.Clean dryer lint filter. This may be why you have soggy towels.

4.Buy postal stamps. Every time I need a stamp, I just thank myself for stocking up on them when I was killing time.

5.Spend a day pushing buttons in an elevator.

6.Write a Guide article. New field reporters accepted daily!

7.Stock up on weather forecasts. Instead of wasting a few hours looking for a weather forecast, why not stock up on them? They usually last for 3-5 days, if kept refrigerated.

8.Wax your automobile, if you have one. Preventative maintenance.

9.Clean your GuideNET Terminal. Preventative maintenance.

10.Remove arachnid webs from dwelling. They are known to annoy even the most unsanitary hitchhiker.

11.Grease your lunchbox hinges. Squeaky hinges ruin appetites.

12.Clean your air conditioner filter, if you have one. Allergies go bye-bye.

13.Learn CPR. You never know when your ticker will tick out.

14.Learn the Heimlich Maneuver. You never know when you'll bite your last bite.

15.Learn First Aid. You never know when you'll get a fatal injury.

16.Get a GuideNET Update. Preventative maintenance.

17.Ride the bus. Also good for killing money.

18.Give blood. H+ is in demand.

19.Cuddle your cat. Cats have feelings, too.

20.Shoot your clock. That will definitly kill time.

21.Empty your rain gauge. Mine accumulated 4,000 centimeters one time.

22.Watch television. Educational programs spawn more and more time, though.

23.Read a book. You could actually LEARN something.

24.Dip into public baths. Look for signs that say "Swimming Pool". (Note: some hitchhikers should pay special attention to this suggestion.)

25.Observe vehicles traverse by. Watch out for city lawn mowers.

26.Organize your lint collection.

**WARNING* Do NOT attempt to unplug an atomic clock! *WARNING**

How to be LAZY !

Laziness is the key to success. Here are the rules of being lazy:-

1. Never do anything. If you wait around long enough, someone else will do it.

2. Don't move. Moving is overrated.

3. Never run. Running is the worst thing you can do. I had to run once.. big mistake.

4. If something is not in your reach, you don't need it. Before you get up to get something across the room next time, think. Do you really want to get up and walk all the way there and all the way back to get it? Yeah, I know. I felt stupid for moving all those times.

5. Don't have an opinion. Opinions are thoughts, and thoughts are work.

6. Don't work. Working is for suckers. Be a CEO if you can, they never do anything.

7. If you have to move, fuss about it. Make it well known that you're pissed off because you have to move. Sigh a lot. Drag your feet and arch your back at 60 degrees (bad posture helps you to conform to the shapes of couches when you sit down, and it makes you look tired).

8. Sleep as much as you can. Contrary to common sense and popular belief, sleeping is very productive.

9. Don't talk. Talking requires the movement of your jaw.. way too much work.

10. If you have to work, do a half-assed job at it. Example: If you have to rake leaves, push them out into the road or into your neighbor's yard. If you have a riding lawn mower, run over them a few times until the pieces are small enough to hide in between blades of grass.
