Amir Khan at IIM - Bangalore

A colleague of mine informed me that Aamir Khan was playing badminton at IIM(B). Big deal!!! But then I thought, it is less than a couple of minute's drive away...and let's face it...Amir Khan is a bigdeal!!

I have been reading in the newspapers that the Super Star and some of the cast and crew of Three Idiots were camping at IIM(B). So here was my chance.
I grabbed my camera and started off. True to its reputation, the couple of minute's drive on Banerghata Road proved a lot more than that with heavy traffic on Saturday night. Infact it was a big night at IIM(B) otherwise as well as there fest is going on.

Using my contact, and showing adequate at outrage at the poor security guard manning the side gate for trying to stop a Professor.... (my act of outrage actually provoked a stifled laughter from my colleague) I reached the badminton court and clicked away many a photographs and a few short videos.

Obviously, now I feel to bashful to show it around to my colleagues and friends....so here it is....on my blog!!!

You'll find the Ghajini star and also Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Raju Hirani and Prakash Padukone in the photographs.....
Btw...I found Amir K a pretty good player honestly, you was thorughly enjoying the game, partnered with Prakash Padukone. Even with so many people watching him and cameras clicking away (without Flash) you kept up a constant banter with his partner and cheered every good shot.

    I read your blog and found it very informative. The event blogs are striking enough to have a feel of the event, so, I would like to have a little chit-chat on your blogging interests. And even we are coming up with an event on startups on June 6th in Bangalore. So, can I have your contact details? Looking forward to hear from you.

    What a coincidence.
    I too managed to get an invite to attend a talk by Ak on the making of Lagaan and cinema in IIM that same week.
    I have to say that he does have verbal diahorrea.

Kissing is overrated.

Yes. Kissing is overrated. Think about it. There is just about too much brouhaha (wow….finally I got to use the word)… about kissing these days….and to think that people have been kissing for ages. What is it about kissing that gives rise to so many controversies? So I have tried to do some research (which really means I googled a bit) and have tried to understand some of the kisses that come readily to mind…:- Judas Kissing Jesus:- Legend has it that Judas, to finger Jesus to the Roman soldiers, kissed Jesus on the cheek. Its strange bordering on yickee… Either people were really weird those days or someone made this up later. I mean, think about it, if you wanted to finger out a person you would probably ...well..use your finger and point at him…or maybe if you wanted to be discreet just make that meaningful movement of your eyes….or if you really hated him…throw a stone…but kiss him…who would do that? Now moving 2 thousand years forward:-- Gere-Shetty : So much have been said and w

Anil Kapoor's 24 ....slow, boring and .... Stupid....

Well Jack Baeur need not worry. Anil Kapoor's Jai Singh cannot hold a candle to the American. Slicker than usual production values and outdoor shots do not give you 24! Have watched the first two episodes.....it is no different from Bollywood style action mixed with sentiments. ....with a little more polish. The action is laboured, the sequences sometime verge on the comical. ( he actually gets a confession from his boss by injecting him with some lethal poison which finally is revealed as glucose...  In a gun fight in a cinema hall.....playing hide and seek with shooters,  Kapoor with Anupam Kher in a forgettable cameo, walk in front of the fully lit screen..asking to be shot..and thank fully Kher does get shot!..) The dialogues are predictable and like in most Bollywood movies....too much of it.  The least they could have done was a smart script.  But maybe I am being unfair, I cannot compare a serial to a movie. Finally that is what Mr Kapoor has done, make a masala

Mamata for President

Who is the best president we have had so far? C'mon, this one should be easy.... Giani Zail Singh of course. Just for a moment think if the venerable President Z (puns galore!!) could become a cult figure at a time when even telephones were a luxury and well, for porn you had to go to a video library, what an explosion of fun we would have had if he was the President now, in the age of social networks, and photo and video editing tools!! He spawned a thousand jokes, the populace hung on to every sighting of his on our black and white news shows. Unfortunately, he isn't quite around to run for President anymore. But there is one politician who can fill in if not for anything else but for  the sheer entertainment value she provides. Since she has proved a disaster in every other aspect, we should have her in a place where she can do minimum damage. Now which is a high visibility zero impact government post, the President of India. I propose Mamata for President, Pr
