I watched promos of the recent movie “The Train” on TV. It was a song “Zindagi Ne..Zindagi bhar gham diye…”. On first hearing I thought it must be Atif Aslam..The singing style seemed to be of Atifs.. Since Mithoon-Atif combo worked even in Woh Lamhe..Woh baatein(Zeher), Zuda Hoke bhi(Kalyug), Tere bin(Bas..Ek Pal)…and I thought now Zindagi ne…or Mausam(The Train) is the successor of the Hit list.

But when yesterday music album was released, I didnt see Atif’s name in Tracklist.. I was very much shocked.. . But came to know that the Song Mausam(or Zindagi ne..) is sung by Mithoon and Kshitij and NOT ATIF ASLAM.

Recently I watched 300 - The movie starring Gerard Butler and is directed by Zack Snyder.

The main attraction of this film is the usage of computer graphics.. Almost all scenes are shot with blue screen in background and then Computer Graphics effects are added to the movie. The war scenes are immersive and it is better if you watch on a Dolby Surround sound system or in an Imax theater.
The warm colour temperature gives a unique effect to the movie.

Details from Yahoo! Movies:

In the ancient Battle of Thermopylae, King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy.

Overall I can say.. It is a must watch for War genre movie lovers. Also for those whose admire the creativity done through Computer..

After the humiliating exit from World Cup, every fan is expressing his disappointment and frustration about Indian cricket team in many ways….

Here is one of them, which I got through e-mail which is forwarding through net now.. Really funny.. The Alternate jobs for Indian cricketers .. I added few wordings which came in mind on seeing those pictures:

Rahul Dravid says:

“Mujhe ab in loukik janjatho mein nahi padna hai… Chahe aap mujhe “Chappell—Chappal” se maaro ya kuch aur se…hum to bhagwaan ke charano ka daas ban gaye hai..
Haa…agar aap match mein India ki jeet ke baare mein Bhavishyavaani jaan na chahte hai, to mere paas zaroor aayiye..100 rupaye Dakshina ke saath..”

Today I watched a movie called “The Pursuit of happiness” starring Will Smith. Its a drama which is based on a true story. Usually I hate to watch dramas but this ones really different and didnt let me forward the scenes.

Will Smith’s acting is superb. The movie is immersive with Will Smith’s perfectly pitched performance.

It is a story of Chris Gardner who struggles in his life to get
happYness… That too in a little part.. To get his life back on track.. To make his son happy.. He doesnt loses his confidence when his wife leaves his family..

From ImDB:

In 1981, Chris Gardner was a struggling salesman in little needed medical bone density scanners while his wife toiled in double shifts to support the family including their young son, Christopher. In the face of this difficult life, Chris has the desperate inspiration to try for a stockbroker internship where one in twenty has a chance of a lucrative full time career. Even when his wife leaves him because of this choice, Chris clings to this dream with his son even when the odds become more daunting by the day. Together, father and son struggle through homelessness, jail time, tax seizure and the overall punishing despair in a quest that would make Gardner a respected millionaire.

In total, I can say….An old-fashioned Hollywood heartwarmer and a must watch.. Will Smith has delivered his best in the movie.

Hoo haa India.. Aaya India…

What an irony with this Pepsi ad… India is really coming back from ICC World Cup 2007, West Indies. That too so early..What a Shame??!!!ÂÂ

No one can believe that the team which went to FINALS in the previous world cup couldnt make it EVEN to Quarter finals…
Really… Indian team has broken Billions of Indian hearts who WORSHIP CRICKET. India is one of the country where Cricket is the MOST MAD ABOUT sport like FOOTBALL in European countries.

Fans protested in a unique way by mocking the death of Indian cricketers and Indian cricket and some tried to demolish Cricketer’s properties. Such a craze, Indians have…

I think it is the media which hyped India as a mighty team for world cup. India’s performance was below average - poor in the tounament. The way it struggled to play with Bangladesh and failure to chase even an ordinary score of 255 against Srilanka… No way.. this is not a team which is the ASPIRANT OF WORLD CUP.

India is known for good batting players but all the players Sachin, Dhoni, Sourav failed to deliver their peak performance. They were just looking like Fresh young unexperienced players who have just entered World Cup ODI career. Though Rahul Dravid- The Wall tried to an extent to win against Srilanka, he didnt get supporting batsmen on the other side. Even if Dhoni/Sachin has scored a 50 and played for a considerable amount of Overs, India would have definitely won the match. But I think those three players are responsible for defeat. They were the RELIABLE BATSMEN who gave up at very very crucial time like World Cup.

Well… the time which is gone is gone for always.. But this is the most Unhappy, Uncomfortable moment for Indians and Indian team.. This defeat will be remembered for always as we remember Winning of World Cup in 1983.
