Just finished a movie- The Girl with the dragon tattoo.......good movie.....Daniel Craig and a weird actress with a lot of piercings on her body.......dnt emphasise much on the title.....the dragon tattoo has hardly anything to do in the movie.....Also watched War Horse in the noon...... more than a good movie- something like an awesome or maybe awesome square movie! And it had to do quite a bit with both horse and war... I wonder if the Bollywood directors, scriptwriters and actors feel even a tiny bit of shame when they watch and compare such marvellous movies with their Desi Boyz and Wanted! Earlier they relied on the actresses getting naked to attract the crowds but i believe now they felt there should a chg in the trends – "league se hatkar movie" so we now had Desi boys doing the same....

If you want to see a light movie and see time travel without any magic or sci-fi shown in the movie have a go at "Midnight in Paris".....n dont think i have taken money for publicizing Hollywood movies in India.....I am a big well wisher of Indian goods and things and sports......like i always buy Indian made Dabur Red toothpaste, HUL made Hamam soap, Action made footwear, etc........Gandhi wd have been so proud of me....if i was born in late 1800s i might have got a mention in History books along with him! Anyways Midnight in Paris.....at mid-night in Paris each day the protagonist enters a cab and somehow reaches the early years of Paris and meets Hemingway, Dali, Picasso,etc......

I have read only one book by Hemingway yet- For Whom The Bell Tolls.....the plot is back in times of Spanish Civil War.....and the protagonist is assigned to blow a bridge......the book is great except it contained lot of philosohy at times not meant for people like me with little knowledge of literature and symbolism! Symbolism and Philosohy reminds me of Paulo Coelho......currently reading Brida .....i have absolutely no idea why he wrote the book and what had he smoked or drank before writing it.....mayb when i complete it i would be impressed ......i dont like to criticise Books or write anything to hurt their feelings .......

Today as i waiting to cross the road i met a rickshaw puller constatntly staring at me......Within 2 seconds i had come up with the reason for eye-contact- we were wearing the same Barca 10 number Messi jersey!! i almost had made my mind to give him a hi-five and shout "Yo Barca" but i guessed he was not much in Barcelona or football.....because then he would never had worn a Messi t-shirt with a 's' missing......thats a sheer insult!! At least i wd never buy a Messi jersey with any spelling mistake that is noticable even if given for 100rs less !!

Important Stuff:

Regarding Kapil Dev's recently given statements, i believe there is a lot of gravity and truth in his words.... except in one- I dont see why he said Tendulkar should have retired immediately after the World Cup....i mean where was the motivation and reason to retire? He was in good form in those days.....also if Tendulkar would have retired each time some Ian Chapell or Kapil Dev recommended so.....would the Little Master have reached to such heights? Besides this,i believe criticization of Sehwag and Dhoni was completely justified.....absolute bias towards Suresh Raina and neglect of Manoj Tiwary.......

Admiration for fight the Lankans put before the Aussies in the VB series.....chasing 287, almost chasing 310+, and a successful chase in the second final !! They deserved to win the series as said by Ravi Shastri ! Indian women Kabaddi team deserves a mention for becoming the World Champions! And so does Sandeep Singh for his recent excellent performance in qualifier for Olympics Hockey.
