Hello wats up sleepyhead? Saw Casino Royale the other day....usually hate 007 movies but feelin bored on a saturday nite. Ssok it was timepass better n not as borin as the few other james bond movies i've seen. Daniel craig luks pretty old tho he thinks he luks so hot...he's pouting thruout..he thinks he's angelina jolie?? only she can pull it off. Not rene zelleweger & certainly not daniel craig! Anyhoo, they've picked the worst lukin Bond girl ever...n the first one (who dies) was even uglier. And,, she had an uncanny resemblance to none other than the gawd awful yukta mookhey. Yes rememba her? i do, but only b'coz BT keeps putting her pixs and dissing her...

Also saw Perfect World..dis one tugs at ur heart strings!! aaaawwwww
Hmmm also saw Down by law...nice one.

Who You Gonna Vote For?

Obama, rite? He wud be gr8. Yeah yeah i know i dont even live in the US of A but gotta tell ya it's anyday more exciting than wat happens around here.....if i was an American citizen i wud totally vote 4 Obama..the choice is obvious. John Mccain is old enuf to be in an old age home. And c'mon wud u want a Prez dats closer to 50 or one dats closer to 70? And Obama's gettin much more publicity n he always luks so smily n cute n spotless n sharp...atleast he knows wat to wear. According to me he's all cool. He'll definitely hav d support of young America. If he duz win which i'm sure he will, he'll be d first black president of America n dat'll show dat the american ppl really hav changed for the better......i mean c'mon his name even rhymes wit Osama!!

Did u see Usain Bolt win the 100m sprint? Livd up to his name 4 sure....he started celebratin long b4 crossing the finish line n continued dancin 4 quite sum time..after all he's jamaican......
Hmm wat else? Rafa won gold n he's d nu numba 1......so glad fedex is on his way out..he's so perfect he's like a robot so boring....rafa is anyday better n he luks hot too......
Olympics is s'posed to be great to watch but 4 us indians who hav to put up with DD its not. Their coverage is so down in d dumps. They hardly show stuff like swimmin divin gymnastics but keep showin boxin wrestling fencing sailin rowin which is not dat interesting....n half the time they show ugly ppl analyzing stuff rather than actually showing the events. And weneva thers sum indian in the event they switch to indian commentators droning in hindi...sheesh...truly hopeless.

The Dark Knight

This one's all about the special effects. The story or plot......hm....dint really get it. I would have thought they'd cast Aaron Eckhart as Batman. Christian Bale just duzn't stand out. And he speaks in a really weird voice thru'out. Check out his mouth when he's talking...damn weird.
I haven't seen any other Batman movie or read any of the comics. I went to see this movie cauz there was so much hype & everyone was saying it's so awesome. But main reason i went to see it was that it was Heath Ledger's last finished role. I mean, how cud i not see it? And true, the movie was bearable only cauz of him. The parts where he was not there was like so boring. The Joker is hot!! Damn it y did he die......
I really can't write out a summary cauz the story duzn't make much sense anyways. The batmobile its s'posed to be indestructible rite? wateva......n wateva happened to Robin........
Gawd n Maggie Gyllenhaal cant act. She's an older version of Kirsten Dunst but SHE CANT ACT. I cannot believe she's Jake's sista..i mean, how can the 2 even be related??
So if u aint a fan of Heath Ledger, don't watch this movie.

Restaurants

Ok continuing where i left off........


GARNISH - Another place in King's Circle, the food here is cheap, fast n easy. Well, not that cheap but cheaper than Classic. (if my memory's not failin me). It's oily food, but satisfactory n bearable when ur hungry. They also have an outer (no ac) & inner ac area. But it tends to be crowded. GO THERE

MACHU PICHU - This place is one of the eateries in the Hub in Goregaon east. Hearing the name ( it's a place in South America) i thought aaah this shud be gud. But it turns out it's not really. Everything is quite expensive but the portion is very less. I used to like their cold salad Mama Mia but even that has lost its appeal the last time i went there. But the Chole Bature is fine. Okay, if u wanna go there go maybe once but u won't find it great. C'mon even the ketchup they serve there is a cheap brand which tastes gawd awful & i mean, the place is empty, ppl got sense. DONT GO THERE

YOGI - This is in Sion. It is as yuck as it sounds. Other than their pineapple raita, even the rubbish from the dump truck tastes better. DONT GO THERE

NEW YORKER - I'm talkin bout the one in King's Circle. It's quite expensive & mostly u'll find the inhabitants of King's Circle or Matunga so that may be a mood dampner. But whatever they have that's drippin with cheese is good. So GO THERE

RUBY TUESDAY - The food is awright but believe me, it's expensive. Not somewhere a non loaded person wud go to every month. The service is okay (atleast the one at nariman pt) & their drinks are fine. GO THERE

UNCLE'S KITCHEN - This is a Chinese eatery in Malad, & by Chinese i don't mean Indianized stuff, but the real deal. And surprisingly, the food is very affordable. The only bad thing is that they don't serve desserts. I say GO THERE

Feed Stuffs

I thought i'd write a couple lines bout some of the restaurants that i've been to in Mumbai.
Starting with, of course, the place i always head to.........
OVENFRESH - Their only outlet is in Dadar west & since around a year they've even turned vegetarian. If u feel like continental (pizza pasta sandwich nachos tacos croissants calazone pastries muffins drinks n other exotic feed ) head over. They also serve sizzlers (cough cough). It is a lil expensive but it's worth it. And their bread is exquisite. Aahh salivate salivate. Try to get a seat in the inner area where the walls are funny n funky. But the outer area is also fine if a bit clinical. GO THERE

And now, the other place i always head to.............
GYPSY CORNER - Also in Dadar near Shivaji Park, i'm only talkin bout it, not Gypsy Chinese. So this is also vegetarian. It serves some Maharashtrian stuffs with weird names. I aint a fan of that. It also serves some conti stuff such as pizza, mashed potatos (ha ha), n u get the point. Eat these at ur own risk. If u r there and u must eat conti, then i'd eat the pizza. U'll find it good at first but after many visits & many pizzas u'll get bored of it. But Gypsy Corner is my other fave restaurant cauz of their sev puri. i die 4 it. But since i hate spicy i always tell them to put v. less spice or none at all. I'd suggest u do the same if u wanna enjoy urs. Top that off with one of their ices ( me i always go with hot fudge nut sundae tho i've tried all) & ur gud 2 go. I esp luv their dessertes cauz they giv a pot of choc sauce separately. And it's not too expensive no. not like OF. So GO THERE

Okay now for a bad review. I'll only write a line or 2 from now............
SAI VEG WORLD - It's in Goregaon east bang outside the station. One word to describe this place is pretentious. The food is overpriced & okay, maybe after the first bite u'll say 'hmm...not bad' but after that, believe me, u'll rush home & puke. And the stuff they've got lined outside the restaurant looks yucky & oily and if ur desperately hungry u have to get a coupon from 1 place & the food from another. At the most you can grab a cuppa (of nescafe, dat is) tho even dat's overpriced (20 bux). DONT GO THERE

Ok really now i'll write less...............
5 SPICE - It's somewhere near Fort. It's authentic Chinese all the way. From the waitresses dressed in suity kimonos (wait..isn't that Jap??) to the decor to obviously the food. Chinese food is asoociated with oil amino acid n all but tryooo blyooo Chinky food lovers will like it here. I dunno, it's expensive but crowded even on a rainy day. Well okay ur shit the next day might be orange, but GO THERE


CAFE MOCAMBO - It's also somewhere in sobo. To tell u the truth, i don't really remember anything much about this place but i vaguely remember i was quite happy steppin out. It's expensive but cozy with nice drinks & pastries. And the thing i like bout restaurants such as these is that they display the menu outside so it wouldn't lead to the waiters/staff getting embarrased. Unlike the next place on the list. So GO THERE

CLASSIC - Well this place in King's Circle has a downstairs non air conditioned area & an upstairs AC area. What can i say...u eat here, u think ur stomach's full, later u get a stomach ache, ur left with a hole in ur pocket & a bad taste in ur mouth. But i have to say this place can be deceptive. Don't go there unless ur really hungry, have cash & are too tired to walk anywhere else. Try the cheese sandwich is all i say. Once i went there with a cuple of friends, we weren't really that hungry but we climbed all the way up to the AC place, sat down, asked 4 the menu, had a sip of water, opened the menu, and looking at it we really dint feel like wastin money out here. So we walked out again. Ha ha. Atleast we got a few laughs out of that. So DONT GO THERE

Movie Review - U Turn

Saw this one the other day. Wanted 2 sleeeeeeeeep but then it had Sean Penn, Billy Bob Thorton (angie's ex), John Voight (angie's dad), JLo.
So this guy Bobby (sean penn) owes some gangsta lots of money but doesn't pay him back on time so gets two of his fingers cut off. This was last week. Now, he's got some of the cash & he's on his way to California but his car breaks down in the dreary desert of Arizona. So he takes a u turn & goes to a town called Superior to get his car fixed. He finds a mechanic, an annoying a-hole (Billy Bob) & leaves his car with him. He goes to town to get a drink & meets Grace (JLo). She of course invites him to her place & then her hubby comes home n all hell breaks lose. But then, the hubby reveals to Bobby that he actually hates her & offers him money to kill her. Bobby laughs it off & goes his way.
As the day goes on, his luck only gets worse & the more people he meets the more weird & crazy Superior seems. In the end, he loses his cash, so makes the deal with the hubby but then is not able to kill her ( fucks her instead). And then she reveals that the hubby's actually her dad & she hates him for wat he did to her mom n her & desperately wants to get out of Superior. So they in turn hatch a plan to kill the hubby cauz she knows he has tons of cash & where he hides it.
Finally she's the one that kills everybody & in the end everone dies anyways. Okay, u might have not understood anyting from wat i've written but lemme just say its a gud un. It's really frustrating for Bobby thru'out cauz Superior really is full of psychos that drive him nuts. Its a crazy movie. watch it.

PS> I dint really like JLo in this movie. dunno why. But i loved everyting bout her (character, look) in monster in law. isn't that the one where she's the dogwalker.....But i liked the others

Energetics - Lucky's own

Recently, a bitch (female dog) in my friend's building/colony gave birth to 8 puppies. She (Lucky) is very anorexic with her ribs showing.
This scenario reminds me of a thing which happened near my own place a couple of years ago. One of my fav bitches on the block (also v.thin) gave 8 pups too. We took care of them during the first few crucial weeks. They needed it cauz the mom was quite uncaring when it came to her puppies.
So anyways, this is about Lucky's own.
Fatty is black & white and of course, quite the fattest one. It stands out from the lot coz the rest are either brown, brown n white, black or greyish-black. It's the most adventurous & stubborn. If u wake it from a deep slumber, it will sit in one corner with an angry irritated look on its face - What's ur problem? Why did u wake me?
Chinky is brown in color with a puggish face & chinky eyes. It is the next fattest fur ball & yeah, i know this' one's a male. Its one of those pups which merges in with the rest. It's o-cho-cute!!
Betty is choc brown & white with flappy ears. It's a leeetle weak with a confused look on its face. One word that comes to mind when i think of it is
~ HAZE ~ BTW, Betty's a boy.
Tup, a brown n white with black nose, is one of the weak ones, but tends to get naughty. Try to feed it with a dropper & it goes SQUIRM SQUIRM....SQUIRM SQUIRM. Also, its eyes are glazed over. Hmm......
Goldie is the white of the batch (of cookies. Ha Ha. Sorry. puppies) with light brown (u can say cream) & white skin & a pink nose & blue eyes. It's damn naughty & irritates all the others. But when it falls asleep (which it tends to do a lot) it sleeps like a baby. It's quite a tiny bundle though.
Mouse is almost black & a heavy bundle. It looks rather like a rat though. It's my fav one. Tho i think if it had its way, it wud have chosen to be a ram. Go figure. It's a dreamer & a fast grower. Don't grow up so fast Mouse!
Biscuit is the smallest. Sometimes i take it in my fist & have to fight the urge to squish it like those soft squeegies u squeeze to let off ur stress. Aaaaaaaaaaaww......... Biscuit is grey & most of the time it just sits there. And when the mom Lucky comes once in a while to feed them, poor Biscuit can't even reach her teats ( when they're in standing position) coz she's too short. When they're all lying down & feeding, she gets crushed under all the other puppies in the mad rush for the teats. Damn it, she's my fav too.
Lakshmi (last but not the least) is not a cow or a house help (search me) but a grey pup too. She's always ready to drink, eat, sleep, laze about & generally be merry. But boy, can she be fussy. Or am I confusing it with one of the others? Gawd these puppies muddle up my brains.
Sorry, lakshmi's dead now. (roadkill)

Movie - Requiem for a dream

This movie is about 4 drug addicts living in Brooklyn, & how they live trying to get drugs. That's the only thing on their mind & they will do anything to get their drugs.
Sara Goldfarb is a lonely old lady who eats chocolates & watches TV the whole day. Her son Harry is a junkie & deals drugs along with his friend Tyrone who also does drugs. So does his girlfriend Marion who has dreams of opening her own clothes store.
Sara gets the news that she's going to be on her fav TV game show so she wants to become thin so that she can fit into her precious red dress. She goes to a quack who prescribes her dieting pills that're actually speed & soon she gets hooked. She starts hallucinating & ends up in a mental hospital. Her story's the saddest.
Harry ends up with an amputated arm & Tyrone lands in jail. Marion has to have sex with the drug supplier 2 get drugs. And so the cycle continues.......
They're all basically good people but once they got addicted, they dint have a chance to do anything with their lives. It just goes to show that anyone can get addicted. Ellen Burstyn who plays Sara is really good, especially in the scene where she's explaining to her son that she doesn't really have anything much to live for.
This movie's damn scary. It's for those who've never done drugs & maybe just crossed their minds and it's for those who have tried it, but are not yet hooked but on the brink. Once you get hooked, u can't control it.
