Kurbaan Huaaa!!!

Watched Kurbaan yesterday. It's one of the movies which reestablishes your belief in the creativity of Indian film-makers. I was amazed that Karan Johar could come up with such a smart story line. This film definitely aroused my interest in "My Name is Khan". One, to see if Karan Johar keeps up his creativity in that one too. And two, I am waiting to watch SRK and Kajol together once again.
Coming back to Kurbaan, I must say that Kareena has given her career-best performance in this movie. The background score makes the movie very stylish and brings out the thrilling moments. The scene showing innocent people injured in the bomb blasts actually made me think why we argue on trivial matters at length, when there are lives taken away just like that.
A must-watch if you love bollywood as much as I do.

Butterfly Butterfly Flutterby Flutterby

As I filled my plate and was ready to sit down for lunch, I noticed a butterfly on my seat. I tried to have a telepathic conversation with the butterfly, "Errrr...excuse me!!! That's my seat you are resting on. Could you please fly away to a different place?". And obviously I didn't get a response. Neither in words nor in action. So as any person would do, I tried to shoo it away with a wave of my hand. I saw it fall down lifelessly like a feather and that's when I realized it was dead. :( I carried the butterfly in my hands and laid it to rest on a plant as I felt it belonged to the green.

We have always been fascinated by the colorful, playful and restless butterflies. Kids have time to run behind one if they happen to find them in their backyard or in their school playground. I have seen my classmates capturing these beautiful creatures and trapping them in a matchbox. Nobody told them that these creatures are best admired when left to themselves.

Ever seen a butterfly closely? The symmetry of their designs in mind boggling. How can nature create such impeccable designs? It must be difficult for an artist to imitate those designs in a painting or even as a print in stylish garments.
Though small, they are very important for the ecological balance. A perfect example for "Wonderful things come in small packages".

After a lot of arguments with myself and a lot more of persuasion from my friends, I am all set to start a blog of my own.
I contemplated for a long time on how to greet my readers. It became a competition of a sort with so many ideas(participants) coming in. I didnt feel like leaving any of the participants. So I put them all down here. :)

The Software Engineer (coding in C) within me says : "Hello World!"
The MBA aspirant says: "Hello guys! Let's get down to the business of blogging"
The tiny creative-being within me says: "Hello people! Just bear with my thoughts and I-dont-know-how-to-write attitude."
The KV student within me says: "Lets start this wonderful beginning with an invocation....asatomaa sadgamayaa..." Ok ok, I wont continue further.

Happy reading!!!
