Movie & HBD :)

Reason to Smile: It is movie time for me - Badlapur and Dum Laga Ke Haisha I heard were movies good enough to take a glance.

I picked up Dum Laga Ke Haisha. Anirban was willing to join me for the movie and we headed for an evening show on Sunday. The movie revolves around a guy, Prem - who owns a cassette shop in Haridwar. The film is based in the set up of 1995 era where CDs and DVDs were very new. Uneducated, struggling to look for self respect among friends and family; incapable of running his shop, he is forced to get married to an educated but an over weight girl - Sandhya. He clearly shows his disinterest in the marriage visible to all. A skinny lame guy who has no idea what to do in life i now thrown into a relationship assuming the wife will smooth-en things. But it only gets worse. Over time, his non interest develops frustration in her and she decides to walk out of his life. While all this is happening in Prem's life, a competing shop opens up selling music CDs in the same market, clearly affecting their business. Prem realising that he has been in no position to take control of anything in his life - education, his passion for Kumar Sanu songs (business), and marriage; accepts defeat to himself. He tries to kill himself.

In the event, one quarrel props up between him and his friend and things totally change for him. How he manages to get everything back to normal, in shape is obviously what the movie ends with. A simple, suave yet powerful with very realistic and strong performances, the movie is pretty much a treat to watch. I enjoyed it - Probably because I somehow could not stop relating myself to the actress with the way I am putting on weight :P Looks like some looser to fall in my kitty too ;)

Today is the birthday of a very very dear friend - Snehal. I was picked up by her husband Niraj ( the couple who got married because of the cute cupid I played) to give her a surprise at mid-night. He initially kept me kidnapped at his neighbors till the clock strikes 12. But we all landed up pretty much before that. It seems she knew what was going on anyways :P We had an amazing fun time at her place. Sayali - sister, Anuja, me and Rinu - friends, her parents, Niraj's brother, some neighbours, all gathered only to see her all set to receive a surprise :P

Some surprises are so blissful to friends that it shows on their face ! Yes, she was soaked with cake and pastries :P

Some pics on FB. Enjoy. Keep Smiling :)

Offbeat Goa :)

Reason to Smile : The joblessness no matter how critical it may seem doesn't affect my travel life. There is nothing more that I can love about that. This time I got another chance to visit Goa. I was fortunate enough to explore those parts of Goa that I had not visited. I was there for a week and let me try and list them for my memories. Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary  is located in South Eastern  Goa.   It constitutes one of the vital corridors of the  Western Ghats  and covers an area of 211.05 km.  Netravali or Neturli is an important tributary of  River Zuari , which originates in the sanctuary. Forests mostly consist of moist deciduous vegetation interspersed with evergreen and semi-evergreen habitat. It is adjacent to  Dandeli-Anshi Tiger Reserve , Karnataka on the eastern side,  Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary , Goa on the southern side and  Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary and Mollem National Park  on the northern sid...

Honnavar :)

Image
Reason to Smile: The lush green views, the rice and wheat plantations, the foggy mountains, the wet silver curvy roads and we 3 girls on a road trip. It all begins with this thought and check where we land up :) Honnavar - One small city in Karnataka, very close to Kumta, Gokarna, Murudeshwara Temple and many more such popular places. We headed straight to Madhu's native where her uncle lived. Her Mamaji, as we all affectionately called him, greeted us and was very strict about maintaining the schedule of our trip, for he was our official guide to take us to umpteen places around for sight seeing. Honnavar is a place not many people know about. We succumbed to a feeling that it was a good monsoon time to explore something unusual, less popular, and less commercial :) Day 1: So our first stop was a drive to Mirjan Fort. A huge fort located towards the South of Gokarna, about 30 kms from Honnavar is a fort that attracts visitors with its majestic looks.  As one enters the fo...

Kugaon Fort + Palasdeo Temple :)

Image
Reason to Smile: The movie made its roar in the Marathi film industry with all new faces as very sensitive and challenging characters as their debut. I have only heard about the movie and its feel shot at the backdrop of scenic adventure beautified by Kugav Fort near Solapur. I had seen them too in some of their promos on TV. While it looked exuberantly vibrant and beautiful, it was time to see whether it gives the same impact in real lights too ;) So without a doubt, there are number of nature lovers like me who had the same thought running on their minds. Ironically the place becomes just more popular only because its got highlighted in some movie. Or else Kugaon Fort was always there - just that it got visible to the public eye after 56 years of its existence !! Because all this while it was submerged under the crystal clear waters of River Bhima of Kugaon Village. It has significantly no traces of its charm on the web. So, it was surely not google this time to locate the place....
