inception


ok now this one is for all those mad lovers of this movie who are flooding the facebook with praises of this film and just using the word INCEPTION AND DREAMS like their daily bread and butter.

i saw this movie on the first day itself,the trailer initialy was attractive and was looking forward for this movie and with leonardo in it couldnt miss it on the first day. i got a late night show ticket for the movie and by then had got overwhelming reviews about the movie.some one said movie of the decade,some one said its a masterpiece, a mona lisa with millions of unsolved mystries.

mind you these are all what most of the people say and many fools simply follow them but here is my unbiased review of the movie which has shot up like some cruise misslile in the IMDB rating and currently ranked #3.

the movie is a hardcore fiction where leonardo works as an expert thief who steals valueable information by entering a persons dream by affecting his subconscious mind. but for a chance to get back to his normal life leonardo has to perform a unimaginable task of INCEPTION that is initiating a idea or planting a idea in the mind of the subject. for this he pools up a team of experts an architect, a chemist and a smart burgler and few extras .the most sad part of the movie is that the story is so captivating that the acting by the cast is hardly into focus. the story line of the movie was truely marvelous and if you are a science and fiction lover u cant miss a second of the movie.

but whats in for a normal movie goer who likes some great acting ,or some stand up comedy or maybe some serious dark humour, well u aint got any of those stuff. all you got is a labrynthine world full of dreams . the concept of subconscious mind and its elements is the key of this movie and u might have to watch this movie a couple of times to get to the roots of it. the movie has an ambiguous ending where the director leaves it to the veiwers to think and dream of stories of their choice and use their creativity to find a solution to the unsolving mystery of the movie.

overall one line to say about the movie : no director can pull of a movie like this with such a high level of clarity of the concept and the movie is a good one to watch but i still dont think its worth being imdb RANK #3.

GOT A FEW MORE REVIEWS TO GIVE.

TO and CC

the mailing option of CC or carbon copy is one of the ultra coolest thing i can say is and mind u till today morning i never knew the literal meaning of CC .thanks wiki .u see u have turned out to be my next best buddy after google.early in the day at office i got a mail. ok i dint tell u guys right .well i m doing my internship in ernst and young .yeah u heard it right thats the company name and i m not gonna repeat it twice niether u are gonna ask again because i cant help really thats the companys name.so its been some 2 weeks in the office and i was appointed the task of a trainee in the testing operation department.my job simple read from a manual saying what exactly has to do and check whether the actual software is doing the same or not..simple right ??
but i can tell u its one hell of a job.sitting down doing the same testing almost 100 times a day.mad work..one of my colleagues suggest " u need to have the right temperament for that,patience and presence of mind is what you require"

well i had been lately working well inside the business analysis team also giving my valuable inputs.
i was smart enough to point out a loop hole in the whole project and the loop hole was missed by the BA ,developer and even the testing team .so one smart move and i got some instant appreciation..felt realy happy for that..thought of putting up a facebook status then and there itself ..but then the best part was in to come yet.

today morning got a mail from my business analyst

TO lalit (manager)

cc nitin sai (summer intern)


it was the new process flow on the latest project on the GHR database and business analyst was asking me for a review and advice over the project model...damn early in the morning if u see something like that i just cannot tell you..andar cadbury shots foot rahe the..i still was in a fix was that intentional or its just a mistake but tabhi ek aur cadbury shots..my business analyst came up to me and said i want ur special reviews on it .would love to hear them and yeah after a while we need to talk something...

about the talk we had i ll keep it as a secret ..it wasnt regarding the new project but something else .that i would post soon. :)

for the cc thing man bless the person who made this facility in the email..loved the day..cheers..

THE WHITE TIGER by aravind adiga


First of all would like to thank two of my friends for suggesting this book.
one of the good book to write about in your blog.
frankly when i first heard the name THE WHITE TIGER ..seeing its back page review i had a different idea in my mind reading this book.
but the way the book started was just really out of box.the way the author writes is something to really watch out for..black humour or dark humour .every line he mocks over greatest and serious issues in present society and yet put a HA ! at the end of the line and leaves the reader in a dilemma to whether laugh on the witty joke or see the truth in it.

the book is all about a man who was never blessed with anythng good in life,representing a common man from a village poor ,uneducated ,family burden and everything wrong which u can get in the society..mind you MR ARVIND but i think you really exaggerated sometimes with all those problems and i guess you picked out your white tiger to be the most miserable soul on this earth but anyways getting back to what we were discussing was the book( see its not that hard trying your style in my blog and on your books review)

the guy munna a typical village brat who is burdened with innumerous miseries in life is uneducated is in search for a earning,bears the brunt of the cruel world which was rather shown to be a literal hell although.

the guy is smart and learns that drivers earn a quick buck and learns driving and with his luck and wits becomes a driver in home of a rich business man in dhanbad.

one great thing about the author is the way he links up every evil in the society and the other aspects about india which are of national concern..the author superbly shifts his side and relates all of them where the reader still thinks he is just reading a simple story .


the story goes on showing all the ugly faces of a servent to master relation .the master and the sevent then move to delhi where munna sees life more practically .the whole story is about the murder which munna committed.he kills his employer to whom he was always loyal and on whom they all trusted .the author gives a splendid justification of the act by the servent as not something out of greed but for freedom.he calls it social entrepreneurship.the author represents himself as the WHITE TIGER ,something which is not found in common and is unique and radical. he thinks that one thing which made his life lot better .he was no more a slave. he is a free and happy man.
he rans away with the money and becomes a successful entrepreneur and leads a happy life.
here the author shows the current trend of the young indian civilization which is smart and full of white tigers like him

all these things which the author mention i can tell you are on the edge of human justification.they can just test your thinking capabilities to the core.the book has for one reason gained my special attention.the author never ask you anything.he doesnt seek any justification or gives you any but moulds you in such a way that you are bent to think and justify yourself.i just never read something like this surely..but then i m not saying its the best i have read..there is a lot of difference.the author sometimes overdid with his sarcasm and mockery. it looked good but sometimes it looked not at all required.

and yeah 320 pages was just too prolonged version.the story could have been cut short and i would pity that chinese fellow to whom this 320 pages of letter was addressed by the author.
and for the man booker prize i dont know wheter its worth or not but yeah its a good one if you want some nice change.

happy reading!!

MY BUJJI KONDALU


my roomie was out one day for shopping in spencers and he called me up in excitement..arei ikada chapalu unai ra,guinea pigs goda unai ra ,techenaaa..i said ok get them.

fishes hmm lets give it a try.never had a aquarium in my whole life.someone said looking at fishes in aquarium can instantly remove all your sorrows and bring a glowing smile on your face,so i thought whats wrong in trying.we started with a small bowl and two goldfishes..we named them pintu and mintu..cute lil fellows.first day they werent so active.i used to gaze endlessly into dat small bowl and i even dint knew why i was doing that..maybe out of curiosity.

today it was a pleasant evening and i decided to go to r.k beach to get some good accesories for my small aquarium

pebbles ,corals,big corals,more pebbles.finaly ended up with bagfull of accesories .then decided to go to a nearby aquarium shop and get some trees .on seeing the stunning display of fishes was amazed i bought a black pair of fishes (harry larry).
went to the room decorated the aquarium only to find that it looked clumsy and conjusted.
my roomie so much liked them that at 9 o clock in the night we decided to get a bigger aquarium.we went all the way to complex .shopped for a big aquarium,got 4 pairs of fishes and bought all the other stuff..went for a smaal party also..tangdi kebab was exceptionally good.came back at 11.beautified my table.cleaned the aquarium and now seeing cutie pies just writing this blog.

i dont know about the glow or smile or anythng that people say you get in seeing them but i can tell you looking at them i can spend my whole day like this.

inner peace


i never entertain philosophy in my blog because i just have this feeling that somewhere people are just so irritated with these so called hypothetical philosophy and great words that they cant stand such shit anymore .(leave aside some idiots who find the worlds time in sitting online reading and writing such philosophies and never practicaly adhering to them)

i just wanted myself to express out some feelings and words which had been occupying my mind and soul for quite a few months.(note :if you find it boring please skip for the next topic or check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYxu_MQSTTY)

for the last one year i have been facing series of events which have been greatly affecting me .
i somehow now feel that all these events have somewhere done the job of leading me towards self realization. today i feel lot more calm than what i was a year before.life has changed greatly,went through various phases.saw mr good ,met with mr bad, and shook hands with mr ugly .it was a complete mixture of all.sometimes when you just look behind from your daily schedule and see whats your daily curriculum today you can directly see the amount of change in you.
blogging was the last thing i used to do in my daily schedule but today i kinda like to fill in my blog with anything and everything( u see thats why i m typing this ),earlier never used to check mails ,today its the first thing i do when i get back to my room. . there was a time when i just used to stick to my cellphone 24*7 but today its just become a mere gadget which tells me time ,plays music ,calender and city blockz. this is one big change which i liked so much and feel that it has realy given me the chance to think and work like a normal being. for the whole last year could never play cricket as i assumed myself to be busy in some fictious work which never was clear to my sight .played cricket after a year and i must tell you i experienced the feeling of a young school going kid enjoying his game of cricket with his friends.it felt realy great.felt as if i was out of some bounds which had been hampering my freedom. it was not just in cricket but in many other things in my life that i found a radical change.there was a time when i used to day dream about various things that should happen in future and wished for them.but today i m just a simple man living life without much thinking and plans..trying to make every day a memorable day for myself.yes i have turned a lot selfish but i dont care.i like it.i m happy this way.

from my past experiences what i could make out is there is no one who is as good as yourself..you know what one of my best buddy always says this "you are in love with your self"
i just love when she says this..hehe and yeah i love myself .a lot more then anyone .

i wanna write more but somehow i dont know whats stops me from expressing myself .but there would be a change soon..

for now feeling sleepy. i hope this demoralising stuff doesnt gets you out of reading my blog.

nexto to come "khan vs khan" starring aamir and shahrukh..watchout.bubye

ye maaya chesave !!

its been a stressful weekend and i dint had a good sleep for last two days so dint even care for holi and was self occupied with my sleeping sessions enjoying the lazing arounds and for the last two days evrything was just thrown aside and i had just been sleeping sleeping and sleeping

"ticketdada.com" new online ticket booking site is kinda made for lazy customers like me and with reference to my blog url i could just tell u now booking ticket in vizag is more easier then writing these blogs.

i booked tickets for this movie as my friends said this one is a must watch and awesome for people in love..ok for the first thing but people in love??
not for me i guess. but they said "mama heroine pichi keka ra"..aha there goes my option .i saw the promos and had listened to the songs and had kindof generated a serious eagerness to watch this movie so it was finaly fixed on for today..

the movie is a lovestory of a telugu boy(naidu :) ) and a christian malayali gal who share a very romantic journey which is beautifully showed by the director (gautham menon).the picturisque location of allepy in kerala ,the soothing music of a.r .rehman just took the movie to differnt level.although hero nagachaitanya is a new comer but the voice and atitude of him somewhere looked greatly amusing to my eyes.dance was asual pathetic (note:nagarjuna is a better dancer then him ) .but hero and the style was way gud and the director did a spledid job in picturisind the hero and the heroine.

i dont have much to say about the story of the movie as love stories dont realy have much variety..ladka ,ladki, love at first sight,parents,fight,break up,bhag jaana,duets,kisses ,hugs and thoda bahut emotions..all these topings on the basic screenplay you get a perfect semi cooked love story.to fully cook the love story you just need to add a hot celebrity couple into it.dats it..perfect love story ready!!!!

the only differnce in this movie the couple was consisting of both youngsters and newcomers to cinema.the gal did a brilliant job and i found her too chubby and cute in the saree (personal opinion )

the movie never makes you feel bored and slowly moves towards the end with the same pace with which it started. overall i think the movie was a value for money and i recommend my fellow readers to do watch this movie if you just want to ease out from tensions and just want to sit down and relax .take your gal out for this movie if u want.it might work wonders ;)

avm's LEADER



It had been long time since i watched any new releases .luckily my roomie was generous enough to get a online ticket booked for me for the first day of the newly released movie..shekhar kammula with his style of movies i thought this one would be a differnt thing to watch and went for the movie with not high but i would rather say DIFFERENT expectations..."prekshakulu marpu korukuntnaru"..yes this is what it precisely means..we want a change..

but unfortunately the movie was noway near of being called new or different or hatke..the plot lacked a definite lustre .the movie as usual works on and around the " BLACK MONEY"..

the hero becomes the the chief minister after his fathers demise who was the chief minister.the hero tries to enforce a anti corruption bureau which performs raids across the state to collect the black money and convert it into the peoples fund i.e 1lakh crores..i.e 1 trillion indian rupees..


hero in order to succed in his goal has to compromise with his principles..somewhere down the line he realises he came here to become a leader but ended up as any other politician..he resigns .leaves the post of a chief minister.goes across the state ,meeting people.living with people ,working with them and finaly emerging as a true leader and later becoming the chief minister..

overall few gud lines,songs ,the heroine nothing more good about the movie.regarding the technical aspect i felt the cinematography editing and even direction was below par.. i guess movies on politics isnt as simple as a cute love story like anand or godavari.. you need to buck up man..

chilly winter ,bed ,bed cofee and a book !!


temperature has fallen to lowest level and i was restricted to my bed the whole day..

with a soft fluffy blanket i just couldnt get out of the hibernated state the whole day. to atleast make use of some of the time i decided to give a try on the so popular book by chetan bhagat : 2 states..

firstly some part of the economics i would like to mention about the writer,the book,and being the best seller..

the book starts with introduction of chetan bhagat as the author of 3 famous books( 5. someone,one nyt at call center and 3 mistakes)

5. someone worth being a bestseller but what about the other two.personaly reading 3 mistakes was a literal pain for me.but still the facts say its a best seller.
the main mantra lies behind selling a book in india at a dead cheap price of 95RS .

nowadays a pirated version of any book cost somhere around 80 to 100 rs..a brand new original one for a 95 bucks is a wild catch..it has potentialy more readers who chose the originals one as compared to other authors whose orignals are sold almst at thrice or quadruple the price of this book leading to more number of potentional buyers choosing the pirated ones..

ok enough of crap even i m one of those fools who kinda like these 95rs book...i even tried for a pirated version of this one in down town market but hard luck.. ;) . rather i got a 10rs discount in a book store..85 rs was an awsome way to spend a 7hrs of a chilly winter day in your bed


so finaly with some reveiws:
2 states: the story of my marriage


the book was a delightful comical ride about a typical indian love story to marriage between two people of complete diffrent culture .the story sets of with two people meeting in iim-a..
i tell u chetan bhagat never misses out in detailing about those extra special intimate moments with the gal. the story gives a fine detail about a typical tamil brahmin family and typical delhi based business minded punjabi family and clearly showcases every good and bad aspect of both the cultures.
humour was good with some good lines which you find in day to day life representing the INDIAN accent of english.


overall the book dint really grab my attention the it was with five point someone..maybe the issues this books was dealing was of a lil less relevance with those in 5 point but overall its worth the 85 buck i spent.
