Spectacular!

Ok…. I couldn’t find a better start to the post.

The start is about spectacles (glasses). And its prominence among young kids I have seen.

I don’t have any statistics to back this trend, but I am seeing more kids with specs than I had seen a decade back.

Anyone notice that?

……………………………………………………………………………………………..

What was that above…..it was static….like in FM radio…when my brain goes blank…

I am hungry, it as if a rock show is going on in my stomach.

But I will type on……………

Day, nothing type worthy.

Only news being, the number of Canadians at my workplace has gone up to two.

JP and I joked, saying that is what you call Insourcing.

After downloading a new game to my mobile, I am having bore-free bus journeys.

Currently I am playing *Why Chicken Why*, got it from Cellufun.com

It’s addictive, but without save game feature, but you won’t notice it.

Other game that I got was *Attack Paddle*, its fun too.

Damn! This cool stitched Raymond shirt that I got isn’t wrinkle resistant, so it does get a few wrinkles after reaching my office. But its colour is cool, and hell, its Raymond, its my favourite.

Short post.....

Good Evening Blog-reader!!!!!!!

The day began on a *late* note.

Got up late, and reached office late (partly due to traffic).

The fever which kept me out of action didn’t show any signs of a return.

But the combo of Allopathic and Ayurvedic medicine dosage will continue.

Post will be cut short because I came late from work, and have to go early, so that I can come early and post a better post.

Dhoom-2 review

By Sanket ‘dhoom dhoom’ Kambli

I won’t divulge much into the story.

What the movie has?

Looks stylish, stunts are great by Bolly-standards.

High speed chases, free-falls, etc will keep you hooked.

Story is full of loopholes and is predictable, and is more about sequences set around the heists.

The last heist in the movie is innovative but lacks thrill of other heists.

Hrithik Roshan is the only real acting talent in this movie.

He steals the thunder from every actor in this movie.

Aishwarya Rai and Bipasha Basu look hot.

Abhishekh is thrown into Hrithik’s shadow.

Uday Chopra chips in with his *phaltu* jokes.

Rimi Sen has a brief and forgettable role of Jai’s pregnant, cribbing wife.

The romance between Hrithik and Ash lacks chemistry, and I don’t think Hritik should be blamed for it.

A time pass movie.

Its Monday night…..

After recuperating from fever, I am sitting here, trying to get a few words out of mind onto this post.

Since last post many things have happened.

Let’s see.

Didn’t go to work today (Monday), as I had fever.

On Saturday Saw Dhoom-2! (Review will be posted soon)

Plan of meeting a Jr. College friend on Friday got crashed.

Indian cricket team and Arsenal both lost their respective away games.

Today is my sister’s birthday!

MCA exams are from 27th Jan. to 3rd Feb.

Missed auto-car show held @MMRDA grounds due to fever.

Traffic congestion was at its worse today, had to walk for half an hour from L&T to Seepz.
The bus in which I travel from Bhandup to Seepz, witnessed a tiff between a women and a man, the reason was the usual pushing, etc, but this one flared out of control, with the woman slapping the man not once or twice but multiple times. I still don’t know exactly happened, because I was out of the line of sight of the whole affair, eventually the bus conductor had to intervene to calm the situation.More posts soon.That is all for now.
And yes Arsenal scrapped together a 3-1 victory against Hamburg,
While Indian cricket team lost tamely to South Africa.
I am addicted to Appy Fizz, ok, not that much, I am in love with it, after Energee, Mangola, its my favourite.

Time to continue….

Time to continue….

News of the day:
Good news of the day> Temperatures in Mumbai are normal and not extreme.
Bad news of the day> Strike of petrol pump owners!!!

Moment of insanity>
Today moment of insanity was when I tried to eat red chilli.

Moment of stupidity>
Running for 10 minutes to catch a train, and finding out that, it was Thane local after reaching the platform.

Hoping to watch Dhoom-2 this weekend, but that depends on whether I get the tickets for it.

Three fishes in my fish tank have grown to the length of…..two Nokia N72 mobile phones. Get it! Hope they survive or else they will break some hearts.

Traffic congestion near Seepz Gate No. 3, has got reduced considerably.
Now only few congestion hot-spots remain, Gandhinagar, IIT lane, upto Hiranandani.

A short bullet story

The predecessor of the Bullet was first produced in 1931. This was followed by a four-valve, single-cylinder model named Bullet in 1932. The 1935 G model was the first that assumed the 'modern' look, with vertical cylinder, cast-in pushrod tunnel and eventually fully enclosed valve gear.
The single was reintroduced in 1948-49 redesigned by Ted Pardoe, chief draftsman at Enfield in Redditch, England. The strong single cylinder engine allowed it to excel as a trials bike.
Orders from the Indian government led to setting up of the factory in India in 1955. The Bullet today is faithful to that classic design of the 50's albeit with several design and quality improvements.
Celebrating its 50th anniversary the bloodline of Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle spans five decades of motorcycling in some of the toughest and most varied terrain the world has to offer.
The Enfield Bullet is still essentially hand made utilising very little assembly line activity. First introduced in Britain in 1949 this classic single cylinder bike has seen minor modifications and major quality improvements since it was first produced in India in 1955.

Hearing Loss

Continuation of last post!!!!!!!!
No, I am neither a quack doctor nor a specialist.
But through personal experiences and research, I have found out one interesting thing, Lets see what it is.
Portable/Personal entertainment has taken off.
With FM radio channels, large mega bytes of music, there is never a dull moment when you have a cell phone for company.
But let us put some light on an issue, once highlighted by my friend, and now validated by university researchers.
I am not technophobic, I love technology. But I am mindful of its after-effects.
I am not talking about radiation, etc.
I am talking about a simple and logical issue.
Ok, enough beating around the bush.
I am talking about side-effects of using earphones.
I am not against ear-phones, even I use them.
The problem starts with location of its use.
The location dictates the level of ambient sound. Ambient sound can be simply put as surrounding/background sound.
Now consider that the maximum volume for your earphones is 30,
now in normal circumstances when there is not much ambient sound,
you would keep the volume between 20-25.
But if you are in a locale/area where the surrounding noise is high,
say on the road in heavy traffic,
that is when you would increase the volume above 25, to be able to hear clearly,
which is not good for your ear, because now the volume will be what, normally would have been too loud for you. But, as you are in a noisy place, you have to keep it that way. Maybe that enables you to hear your favorite song, but what about the damage done to your sensitive ears, while they are pounded by loud music. Think about it!
Enjoy Life! But Be Safe! That way you get to enjoy for a long time!
If any questions, please leave comments.

Days!!!

There are times when things don’t start well, but end on a much satisfactory note.
Monday was such a day, the trains ran a bit late, but I still managed to reach office on time.
Tuesday trains continued to be late, but this time they were late in the evening.
While Wednesday was a very lucky day in terms that I got a place to sit from Bhandup itself.
*Health tips:
People who ate two or more servings of fish a week reduced their risk for dementia by 39%.
Now that we have dual-core microprocessors, we will soon see quad-core (4) chips from Intel soon.
Google will soon complete its $1.65 billion worth of YOuTube.com gobble!
Did you know that the first single-chip microprocessor was from Intel, it was called 4004, and it was launched in 1971, on 15th November?
Sony PS3 is out!!!! Will it ovetake Xbox-360 in terms of sales? Time will tell.
The same goes for Zune portable music player from Microsoft, a competitor for iPod, it is going to have a tough time beating the market leader.
So that wraps up the news bit.
A bit of fashion, scarves seems to be an *in* thing in fashion among women, especially with chilly mornings being the norm.
Thats all!!!!! more tomorrow.....as time is luxury for me,,,,,,
one stupid shayari by me
..hum nahi hai kaatil
