"CHALTA HAI YAAR"

I wonder how we get away with the most difficult situations in life with these three golden words :-- "CHALTA HAI YAAR".Now wat are its advantages*its better than sorry*Its very personal and informal.*Its the voice of the crowd.
If you guys are having a trouble trying to figure out how this whole chalta hai yaar funda works i will give u an insight.
We went over to watch a movie KING KONG now the best thing about the movie was definitely the 20 foot tall CHIMP but the whole centre of attraction shifted to we guys as we started yelling like sissy gals everytime the kong appeared on screen.Now as we came out of the night show we took an auto to get to iit. The metre read 17 as i gave him my hard saved 20 rupees the rickshaw driver gave me a smile n he said chalta hai yaar and he zoomed his 100 cc Auto like a BMW not even caring for my reply, and there i was standing feeling tall for my great sacrifice of 3 rupees.
Many of u must be lauging thinking it was just three rupees chalta hai yaar but here in IIT 3 rupees can be a life line for many.
Just imagine how precious three rupees are ...*its exactly the cost of a watery tea in the night canteen which can be differentiated from hot water only by its color.
* add 50 paise to it and EUREKA!! u have a classic regular for yourself.* but the best addition is that of another 3 rupees which means you hv 6 rupees and which in iit lingo means AP AKA Aloo ka Paratha. AP is the night food of the technocrats of tomorrow's world, I wonder how many important conversations and decisions are taken over a plate of AP like: kal proxy kaun marega , PAF ki script kya hogi or the most imp line NOTES KISSKE PASS HAIN
Now coming back to Chalta hai yaar syndrome we all will agree that at some point of time or other we all have used it and wat the hecl if I like it or not i need to dance to the tunes of the world around me ....in the end CHALTA HAI YAAR.

Worst TVCs :)

LUX --SRK ..... Some thought it a brave attempt others a blunder. Well In india SEX N SRK SELLS but unfortunately people who believed this had to reconsider the saying when SRK went bare chested in a tub filled with rose petals. He def crossed the thin line of being a metrosexual. One of the most controversial ad of all time.LUX which was considered as a status symbol among the leading ladies of silver screen got everything wrong with this one.
TATA INDICOM---GANGULY.... IF you thought days of BABA SEHGAL rap are over think again coz DADA was doing some shaddy rap
himself wearing dark glasses and a stupid cap DADA was looking a clone of early nineties baba sehgal's rap video. To add to this mumbo jumbo there was the irritating rap in the breathless style which by any means can be considered as a torture

National EGG corporation :- SACHIN, AGARKAR, KAMBLi , JAFAR n KUMBLE all having their breakfast then comes the sudden earthquake tremors at regular intervals. They move out only to watch a child doing bowling practice.
I still find it difficult to relate this whole thing to an egg.How come people can make a mess of such a good resource.

Masti condoms: Oh my god!! No one can stand this one, this is one area which is always on the public radar in INDIA.But this ad wins the irritating ad award by miles. WAGLE sahab describing about the new generation how it has changed then comes two shaddy models doing some college campus fun . BUt the shock value comes right in the end when he says "MASTI SAMAJHTE HAI NA AAP" ........wat more shall i say.

VICCO VAJRADANTI :- Some arbit female running in a garden suddenly sees a red apple she asks her bf to get it for her.Then comes the old grandpa displaying his strenght on a sugarcane.VICCO had this typical ad running for years. The jingle which still echoes in our ears VICCO TURMERIC nahin COSMETIC ....wateva it is gimme a break.


VIP FRENCHIE:- "DREAMING ABT ME ??" A women molested by a grp of hoodlums and comes a FRENCHIE MAN as her savior . Yes u got it .The think tanks of VIP frenchie are really talented people each time u think they reached their rock bottom they defy us all and come up with a campaign worse than the previous one. The latest one is about three chics wearing helmets and having binauculars in their hands...and yes it is also equally bad.


RELIANCE kar lo duniya muthi mein : RELIANCE launched the mobile network and lots of expectations were there . THen comes in the creepy ad where 6 runs are needed of the last ball( OMG wat an original idea) and then sehwag gets a call and he hits a sixer. The whole nation was laughing and reliance def made a fool of themselves."SEHWAG KI MA...."

THUMBS UP : Salman carrying out some show on a beach HE IS SHIRTLESS( u gueesed it right) but here is the bomber he is BALD and wearing some cheap lockets and stuff. He is giving GYAN abt being smart or matured if u drink THUMBS UP n u are a kid if u drink pepsi. WAT A JERK.


KAYAM CHOORAN "GOLIYON KA BHI ASAR NAHIN" ...inka ilaaj goliyan nahin ayurveda hai. I hope those irritating monster of KABJ SIRDARD died on the spot after the lightning struck them coz if they didnt die of tht they wud have died anyhow after watching this ad go on air. JAMNAGAR wale SHRESTHA BROTHERS made up a mess of a kayam choorna

SONA CHANDI Chawanprash: I admire one thing about the sona chandi people .....one after the other the marketing teams comes up with an ad worse than the previous one still these guys keep on pouring money in bringing the best people to endorse this POWER PASTE. Saurav Ganguly . Sunny Deol n now SRk .well the celebs may change but the ads are never attractive.

My first GD/PI class

Okay so it was time to face the music, after missing the opening lecture of TIME because of the IOCL interview (which ended in a sad note) i was determined not to miss this one.
Now TIME guys are very good at one thing and that is "QUOTING NUMBERS" u can find their banners and irritating pop ups everywhere 700 students selected 2300 calls n blah blah.
But to my surprise their one of the most sucessful centre bombay had very lil to offer.
Me n Junta both guys charged upo had our lunch got onto BEST BUS NO 424 and reached the andheri centre.
After waiting for 10 mins one guy walks up to us and asks us to go to some BOOTA HIGH SCHOOL. Now u can imagine the state of this high school after listening its name "BOOTA SINGH" but u got to be there to see how bad a high school can be.
Wateva i never expected an ampitheatre so i hardly gave it a damn.
But the best part was just after this .....after we occupied our seats i took a look around only to see everyone around us was a working guy. Its tough to diffrentiate but still you can make out this point. I was intimidated by the presence of those guys around me I thought They will butcher me in any GD.
But things went on pretty smooth i did a fair enufff job in my GD n later on 4 more IIT guys came in so the enviroment became a bit frndly.
BIGGEST SURPRISE:---- TCS I thought have some setting with CAT authorities every second guy there was frm TCS i dunno how do these guys make it but yes this is wat i observed.


In the end the start was good i hope it develops better ahead .....

Top Ten albums of 2005

Here it is the top ten albums/songs of 2005.

Bunty aur Babli: S-E-L create magic one of the biggest item number of all time. A song which became a necessity at every special occassion. Aish looking gorgeous Big B n Small B add their special touch and u have a CHART BUSTER. IF kajra re rocked the nation with its beats CHUP KE CHUP KE revived the shayari of gulzar. Dhadhak Dhadhak catched the emotion of small town aspirants.To add more stuff to this shopping cart BIG B did a rap numberaasman ke sire ghul gaye hain zameen seYEH WORLD HAI NA WORLD.............

AAshiq Banaya AAPNE A shocker the biggest surprise of the year. WHo thought HImesh reshamiya can give an album which will rock the whole nation. He did some good job b4 like Kahin pyar na ho jaye but this one is amasterpiece. He added one more dimension to his personality by giving voice and the mix was superb. Abhijit sawant got his debut with the song MAR JAWA and KK was as brilliant as ever.


DUS A failed attempt to create Indian bonds the movie made some money but was a blunder. THough two dance numbers were hit and they were beautifully shot. The feel was young and hip hop...DEEDAR DE. But the cracker was DUS BAHANE.

KAAL What a blunder a complete blooper on the box office. The biggest diastour of 2005 SRK films don;t get the mix right but the TAAL MIX hit the right note. Though the movie had no songs but the promotional videos were TAAL KAMAAL n TAUBA TAUBA both the songs secured their positions in almost evry pub n disco across the nation.

ZEHER He may make senseless movies where skin sells more than the script but the music of MAHESH BHATT's flick is always a winner. ZEHER had beautiful songs Shreya ghoshal singing AGAR TUM MIL JAO .JAL's woh lamhey zeher definitely is an album we all wud love to listen again n again.

Maine Pyaar Kyun KIYA DAVID DHAWAN trying to recreate the history this time he was successful slapstick comedy ...confusion peppy clothes obscure situtaions n good music. DD was def back and he came with a bang. Katrina Kaif looking gorgeous as ever n Sushmita sen lokking sensual as ever,. Another dance nu,mber JUST CHILL. then there was dil di nazar.

PAHELI Shahrukh khan's attempt to go the artistic way. Amol Palekar tried hard to create a classic the movie was good but by no means a classic. But in terms of music the movie came as a winner beautifully shot songs kangna re ..then amazing vocals by sonu nigam in dheere jalna. SOCH SAMAJH KE AANCH RAKHNA .....

Salaan Namaste Yash raj going the bold way. Trying to cash out on the hip hop dude population of India guess what BAD NEWS the movie although made some money but was not at all up to the expectations.The overall feel of the movie was definitely young and happening. Zinta wearing the latest range of skirts and cool tees with ever more cool teasers. Saif dancing arnd showing off his designer undies .The wongs were good the title track. whats going on ...But sadly not many hearts went mmmmmmmmm....



Parineeta Vidhu Vinod Chopra production a true masterpiece. If You thought true movie making in India has died movies like PArineeta
and BlaCK CAN GIVE U A run for ur money. Vidya Balan making a classic debut n then songs like PiYU BOLE.kaisi paheli ..kato maza. A beautiful poetry which was carefully composed to give us all a music to cherish

KALYUGMAHESH BHATT does it again came towards the end of 2005 but when FATEH ALI sung DHADHAK DHADHAK many hearts stopped. A true melody. IF Dhadhak made ur heart tickle aadat gave that feel of agony and anger. KALYUG's music was an instant hit and full marks for this brilliant attempt.
