JHILMIL aur BURFI



Everyone is talking about Barfi… It was delicious, it was spectacular, mesmerizing and all synonymous adjectives would surely fit for this movie. Indeed, it was hilarious, especially some of the nicely executed Charlie Chaplin acts by Ranbir Kapoor. Needless to say, Ranbir Kapoor’s expressions and his acting prowess stole the whole show. Nonetheless, Priyanka Chopra at some places overpowered Ranbir Kapoor with her incredible acting of a mentally challenged girl. Certainly, she proved herself once again after ‘Fashion’ and ‘7 Khoon Maaf’. Her words, even not spoken were widely understood by everyone. Her presentation and acting skills of an autistic child would not have been done better than this.

It’s full on two and half hours of masti and a gripping yet exceptional love story. Throughout the movie, Ranbir’s pranks left the audience in laughing grip. A love story between deaf and mute guy & an autistic girl is surely unique in its own ways.  It has flaws too as I felt at some places story get entangled between present and past but in the end, the puzzle gets solved efficiently and beautifully.

Surely, it will not be wise to explain the whole plot here. However, I wish to mention that it’s an intriguing love story of deaf and mute guy- Murphy (read Barfi), who is crazy, fun loving and strongly believes in living in ‘present’. His masti has no extent and so does his liveliness. Hs talks never required words, which makes his conversation even more interesting. His eyes and hands do the all talking and most importantly, he is unaffected by everything except Love. He surely is not normal boy but certainly can give a tough competition to any normal intelligent person. He was an epitome of love, which weaves his most interesting love story with an autistic girl- Jhilmil Chatterjee, who is unaware of her super rich status and desperate need of love. She is simple, cute and lives in her own world.

It is only Barfi effect that I am only mentioning about Ranbeer and Priyanka. However, it will be unjustified to not to mention about Ilena D’cruz, who is the narrator and first love- interest of Ranbeer in this movie.

Kudos! to Anurag Basu for his marvelous direction and pritam’s music in the movie. Also, lyrics and script left me spell bound. First half is entertaining witty as Ranbeer Kapoor unveiled his amusing and mysterious acts. Nonetheless, second half becomes more captivating as it shows mature side of same mischievous Ranbeer Kapoor along with certainly, more of Priyanka Chopra.

In the end, It’s all and all, MUST watch movie. I personally enjoyed every bit of it. . Let alone be the controversy of stealing or taking inspiration regarding scenes or music of Barfi...

Moral of the story: Rehne do yaar!! Ab movies hi reh gayi hain.. MORALS aur ETHICS sikhne ke liye. J



Ohh Lord!!


Stop Me, before I die..
Stop Me, before I cry...

Stop Me, before I fall..
Stop Me, before I crawl..

Stop Me, before love eludes me..
Stop Me, before fear erodes me..

Oh Thee! Hold me in your arms,
and Stop Me, before I lose myself in to these worldly charms...

Just ME!!



Thanks! For everything but I have been misunderstood as GOOD…

This is a small note to say “Thanks”..
I have been weak..  I have fallen many times with my face licking ground. I have been wrong at times.. I have lied.. I have cheated.. I have intentionally hurted many people…. And That is me!! But One thing is for sure.. I WAS NOT FAKE…

Many times, I thought about money before spending and that is how, I have been raised in my family.
Many times, I have been duped and left alone to cry..
But that has all made me more stronger and gave me a new reason to fly..
I have never thought of cheating them in reciprocation because I was very weak to do that but that fear of mine is called as “generosity”. 
Yes... I have been misunderstood as “GOOD” at times but Do I deserve this??

Yes, I love solitude because it gives me peace…
I do not express myself because only stronger can express and I am weak.. 
I have fear of rejection and I have fear of being left alone once again… 
I have EGO and I do not want to put that down for anyone without any gain..
yes..I have been misunderstood as GOOD..

People have manipulated me, people have used me emotionally and whichever way, they could.. 
But more painful was the moment.. when I hurted somebody for my good..
They are living happily without me and that is also painful….
Yes.. I am weak.. I have been misunderstood as GOOD.

May be, I have become sadist and started enjoying the pain of others…
But this loneliness and pain have given me strength to move further.

Yes.. I have been FAKE… Yes.. I have been misunderstood as GOOD...

Dil, Dosti Etc...



Humming and listening to the song “chadi mujhe yari teri aisi, jaise daaru desi”, while writing this article. Quite true and apt in my life situation, friends have always been spark in my life, they gave me oxygen, so I breath, they gave me importance, so I trust and they exploited me and helped me to become ME. Few moments were worth cherishing, when I was lowest best in my life and they hugged me so tightly and assured me, what may come, they will never leave me!! But…
I always believed in my upbringing period that friends come and go, life never stops for anyone. You lose one friend at one stage of life and make many more. But few friends make a permanent residence in your heart. I recently read on Facebook. “Love is not for lovers, they are also for friends, who love each other more than lovers”… Friendship day is nearby but I have no one to celebrate with… It wasn’t like that 2 months ago..
I used to have a group of 3 people including me, many people came in our group and left but we 3 always remained united. We went to many trips and had an amazing level of understanding, which I never had with anyone before. Never thought, I will ever have (in real sense) -3AM- friends in my life. Be it my professional tough days or personal trauma, I always found them near me. We went to many trips, starting from Haveli trip to celebrate one year of your friendship on 15th Dec, 2010. Then, Rishikesh and Palampur in 2011 and last trip was Shri mata Vaishno Devi in 2012.
Guess, everything comes in life with expiry date. We are not at all in touch with each other, though we are very much living in same city and with so much social networking sites available, nobody knows anything about each other. One may call it misunderstanding but in real terms, “raita fel gaya”. So much of complex emotions, so much of expectations, so much of admirations… could not handle them anymore and we decided to get separated.
It’s over and all over… we all have moved on in our life and trying hard to make new friends but missing them a lot… all masti that we did together, wo chai ki chuski, wo car-o-bar… I am gonna miss forever and ever… May be, all happens for some good :)

Ayushman Khurana..!! An admiring love of my life…!!



A simple yet flamboyant, attractive yet natural, funny yet inspirational... a complete box of all Punjabi traits, perfectly define this young energetic multi-talented face of youth. For the first time, I noticed him in the Ekta Kapoor's daily soap "Kayamath" on Star Plus. A sweet little (short- heighted) young boy was trying to woo the main protagonist of the serial.  Only then, I started following him, googling him, and came across many facts about him. I also get to know that, he was the famous peppy RJ with BIG FM 92.7 in the early morning show, "maan na maan, mein tera Ayushman" and he has also won roadies of season-2. (I am not much follower of roadies but like to watch its audition due to Raghu's blunt and I-am-the-boss satire for people with I-know-everything attitude on the one side and on the other, his caring and emotional side for weaker and honest people.)




He belongs to Chandigarh and is the son of the famous city astrologer P. Khuarana. He mentioned in one of his interviews that "my dad is numerologist and when, I got offer from roadies, my dad predicted my future and told me, if you (Ayushman) will go to Mumbai now, you will get success and will have great career ahead". Indeed, the words were pure truth!



I still remember, I mentioned my love for him to my best College pal in 2008, and she told me, "Ohh..!! you didnot tell me before, I have recently attended his event during my internship with Reliance. He is really cute and chivalrous. He asked me about my career dreams and how I am doing here?? Ohh!! Even, I admire him now..!! Don't worry Nandini, he is perfect for you!" Certainly, her words banged in my head for a week. Then, this passion for him augmented even more during his anchoring days for "India's got talent". I used to watch the entire episode looking at him. So young yet so natural, no wonder his anchoring prowess made him won many awards. Nikhil Channapa sometimes became invisible to me in front of him.



I was mesmerized, when I saw his dancing skills in "Just dance". Ya! he anchored the entire show and also presented the special dance performance for the jury and Hrithik, the dance icon of Bollywood hugged him and applauded him. I used to watch him and only watch him, and praise him for his effort-less humor skills, his anchoring skills, his dimples.. his smile.. and my family members always objected me over my craziness..



I have all eyes to watch his debut movie VICKY DONOR, in which he plays the lead role of professional sperm donor opposite Yami Gautam. He has also recently confessed of donating sperm once during MTV roadies in 2008, in an interview with Asian Age newspaper.



My heart still misses a beat, looking at his dimples! Way to go!!
