Chasme baddoor - hit hai boss

I wasn't able to write from a long time but after I saw this movie, I decided I would post all that I can remember about the experience of the movie.. Not a review.. it's just a write about probably the first big hit of 2013, a laugh riot and amazing movie - Chasme baddoor - Fresh and Funny.

David Dhawan has talked a lot about this movie as he is friends with the original movie's actors. Even I was eager to see how he treats this story and how Sai Pranjpye has modified her own story for new age.. and it came out rocking and rolling (except for those 4 minutes of Andha Ghoda Race Mein Dauda song - which is real bore).

Tapsee Pannu - cute

Siddharth has done amazing as Jai
Divyendu's Omi is given memorable and amazing shayaris
Taapsee is super cute as Seema and good on the eyes while Ali did nice job
as Sid;
Rishi Kapoor and Anupam Kher - nothing needs to be said about them.

Here are few of the shayaris by Omi and others in the movie:

Must watch movie if you like to be happy. Start is amazing by Omi and Jai while the scene where Seema enters Sid's room and Omi and Jai runs to hide is super awesome.


Kashmir na koi le sakta hai aur Kashmir na koi de sakta hai ... Kashmir mein bus teen din aur do raat ka honeymoon package ho sakta hai

Ek Raat ko Patni ne Apne Pati se poocha ki batao, ab tak kitno ke saath Soye ho.... to Pati ne Kaha Darling Soya to Me Sirf tumhare Saath, Baaki sabke saath to Jaga tha saari raat

Jai in audition:  
Shole vala jay nahi,  sirf name or personality wahi he..
Pyar ek se thode hi hota hai.... OMG :P
(you will know when you see it)

Siddharth - amazingly filmy

Na suhag hai na raat hai, Na suhag hai na raat hai, believe it or not, har kutte ka din ata hai

Omi: Woh mili mujhse Heer ki tarah... taste mein thi woh kheer ki tarah... aur dil ke paar hui woh teer ki tar 
Sid: sach sach bol kehi bhaga toh nahi diya tujhe chilar dekar fakir ki tarha

Arz kiya h when u cant change the girl; change the girl.

Arz kiya hai ki ye chand bhi kya gajab dhaata hai.....bachpan mein mama or jawaani mein apne he bachhe ki aama nazar ata hai..

Early to bed early to rise, makes your girlfriend go with other guys

Arz kiya hai ki jab jab tum safed saree pehn kar mathe par lal bindi laga leti ho....bhagwan kasam bilkul ambulance lgti ho

Ayar agar pant hai to dosti chaddi hai.. pant agar fat bhi jaye to dosti ijjat bachati hai...

The friends - jo kamina nahi wo dost nahi :P

Arz kiya h....Bhari mehfil m maine sher maaara.... Bhari mehfil m maine sher maaara... Aur sherni Vidhwa Ho Gai...

Ye aurat bhi kitni ajeeb hoti hai kuch bolo toh muu fula leti hai aur kuch karo pet fula leti hai 

Omi and Jai: "badon ka maan na hai ki paapon ka prayshchit karna chahiya!" Dude..."Pehle paap to kar le! (it's the way they said it)

Arz kiya hai....is vidya ke mandir me yaha vidya ki murat hai to waha vidya ka bhasan hai... magar afsos....afsos is baat ka hai ki hamare pass dirty picture ki vidya balan nahi hai.....

On top of it - David Dhawan managed to pull the essence of original Chasme baddoor movie - Friendship around pack of cigarettes and Chamko washing powder - in a small big way.

More to come, hopefully.

(If anyone think these are too bad jokes - well, read this blog after you come out of your childhood - yes these are for adults - kab tak tom & jerry dekhoge)

Stylish and fresh

Table with an umbrella at CCD

Hanging out with friends at CCD, I always get fascinated by many things; most of which others find weird. This time, I wanted to have a table with an umbrella set.

My place has a room size balcony. Most of the time, it is unused. What will suit best in it is a table with an umbrella along with maybe four chairs. This may be expensive so I am even ready to drop the chairs part and can sit just below the umbrella lowering the table base. Sounds good, right.

at CCD Pune

But, every good sounding thing has a not-so-good sounding price tag. A normal table+bench+umbrella set costs about Rs. 7000 - Rs.8000 minimum(Yes, I had it checked few months ago). Here at CCD, the table and umbrella which I saw, wow it was. A heavy, sturdy and great looking metal stuff with granite round table as base and even the umbrella was made up of metal. Guessing the price - at least around Rs. 20000. So I started hoping that there is a shop with second or even third hand sale for this kind of stuff. Or may be the CCD itself sell out the tampered/damaged table with an umbrella stuff.

Question arises - what can really damage such a heavy metal piece. It is nearly impossible to be damaged by natural rains/thunder or even small run-over accidents that can happen over the coffee at CCD. But there has to be something that can damage. If there is something, I would love to do anything to make it happen. CCD sells it or not is a later part.

So I was looking around, 360 degree search for something with ability and capability to damage a dinosaur strength like table with an umbrella at CCD. India's must win and win big cricket match was going on against South Africa in T20 world cup but we were not even bothered. My friends and me were literally eavesdropping on every possible candidate who could result in damage of the table with an umbrella at CCD.

Table with an umbrella

And we found her. She was a fair, smiling girl - shouting at the boy she was with. She was banging her hands on the table and I got my hopes up that "Yes, she is the one. She is the one who can do what I want with that table". (what are you thinking about; dirty mind. All I am hoping is that she will be damaging the table). I am hoping, praying that she gets more furious. She was talking funny things but I was more interested in her damaging talent than talking talent. Sadly she went without any fruitful result.

There was another contender in the race of damaging the table with an umbrella at CCD. Her English and Marathi was - well.. how do you spell "disgaaasting". But she was more a "disaepoeinthing" than anything else.

In this way - I am still looking for a table with an umbrella; chairs optional.

So, more to come, hopefully.

Perfect scenes using songs - 2

How I Met Your Mother - Season 1, Episode 21: Milk

Ted finally finds his perfect match through the technology company where he listed himself his soul mate (what a lame word). Ted has a date with her at the McLarine's but he is stuck on an empty street and calls Barney for help. But he did not come up. Finally, Robin arrives for the rescue and she drops him on time for his date. Also, to bring back smile on Ted face after the tough night he had, she shows Ted her undone hair :)

Hair - Robin bringing smile on Ted's face

But, Ted does not go to meet his soul mate - because he needs Robin. This is the song which is played when Ted is walking away from his date. Very lovely song and it synced so perfect with the scene. Only the below lines are in the scene:

Oh mother of pearl
I wouldn't trade you
For another girl

Oh mother of pearl
I wouldn't trade you
For another girl

This song is Mother of Pearl by Roxy Music. I did not enjoy the whole song (too heavy for me) but this part - perfect for the scene as Ted decides he don't want to trade Robin for even his soul mate.

Best part o fthe episode is a quote from Lily - There are certain things in life where you know it's a mistake but you don't really know it's a mistake because the only way to really know it is a mistake is to make that mistake and look back and say, "Yup, that was a mistake". 
Sometimes we have to make the mistake even if others keep saying that it's a mistake.  (so much suits me)

FRIENDS season 4 episode 4 - TOW The Ballroom Dancing

Joey helps the garbage man of the apartment, Treeger prepare for his Ballroom because he threatened to tell some things about the group which could land all of them out of the apartment. Joey, surprisingly is enjoying the practice and so does Treeger. At the end, when Treeger is actually going off for the ballroom dance on the evening, both of them dance. 

The final pose

Rehearsing dance

They actually dance very well then - on the song which is Night and Day. The version of the song in FRIENDS seems to be the one which was done by Tony Bennett. This is really a very nice song for a nice dance. If you are thinking to dance some evening, I recommend this song for sure. Steps - you can copy from this episode.

More to come, hopefully.

An evening in Bandra - part 1

It was a Saturday evening I reached a club in Bandra, Mumbai, parked my car and as I tried to call my friends, I found there was some problem with the network in the parking and the call was not getting connected at all. I thought to get out of the parking and make the call. 

As I was crossing the area, I saw a beautiful girl standing there. I thought may be she is waiting for someone to pick her up. Then I thought, it just start of the evening and why would someone be going out of the place. By the way, a little more about her - she was amazingly dressed and was looking absolutely stunning. Kind of fair looking girl she was, Wearing a purple mix with white and gray top with a fine line denim bottom. By the look of her you can say she was ready for the party. But what was she doing standing there as if she is waiting for someone. May be she was also having same phone problem as me. 

To be honest - she reminded me of someone I knew during my junior college. So, I thought to walk over to her and ask if she needed any help!!! She did saw me going in the parking area and she was also noticing me heading towards her. I gave her a smile as a greeting gesture and she smiled back as I was just few yards from saying "Hi" to her.
She was wearing this diamond studded glittering earrings and a nose diamond. Wow!!! I never imagined that a small pin size nose-diamond could add so much to a girl's beauty. Stunning that looked on her.

Me: Hey, any problems there?
She: Yeah.. no really.. I am good.
Me: Okay. (then I again try to call my friends and call again drops out without connecting)
She is looking around - it seemed as if my presence is making her uncomfortable. Obviously so!! We both were equally strangers behaving equally strange in a strange parking area.
I thought to get out of there so...

Me: Ok then.. have a nice time.
She: You too...

As I started walking outside.

She: Hey.. would you mind if you stay for a while here please. I am waiting for my friends and they haven't showed up yet.
Me: I am also not able to reach my friends..but.. no probs.. I will wait for my friends here.
She: Thanks... My name is Rutu.
Me: I am Dhanesh. Nice to meet you.

And that's how I met Rutu. She gave me many reasons to never forget this evening. Why so? What happened next? All that will be posted very soon. Keep reading. Believe me - something absolutely unexpected happened that night.

Definitely - More to come...to be continued.....

There has always been many thoughts and quotes that I like to read every now and then. Here are some of the lines that I really like to browse through when I have to kill some time.

Also, I have added these on the left panel of my blog to remain there forever. I will be updating those when I can.

Cricket and Sachin

Cricket is a religion in India

With the India-New Zealand test series on the way, I thought of writing something about cricket in India. If you want to know why cricket is called a religion here, just try to talk to any Indian about cricket. For the starters - here is a list of top 3 topics that will fetch you maximum attention:

1. These cricketers should concentrate on game than advertising
2. Can India do good in the upcoming series (especially if the series is world cup/against Aus or SAF or End)
3. Dhoni is best captain ever (after this, beware of Ganguly fans - they are still out there)

Why this happens - because everyone is an expert in cricket whether or not they ever played it. Even a mother back home would say on a misfield or a boundary - he should have made a jump to stop it.

As I said - 
Cricket is a religion in India and hope you know that Sachin Tendulkar is God

For maximum attention on this, all you have to say is "I think Sachin should retire". 
Warning: Those might be the last words of your life.

Sachin Tendulkar - God of Cricket

Want to witness the divine following for Sachin - just hop in any place when he is batting. If he is approaching a century - you are about to witness how many people can be stressed for same reason at the same time.

Personally, I feel the stress even when I am watching a repeat telecast. His every shot, every miss, every hit, every camera appearance - I guess you got my point. I mean, whatever he does fetches a applause in stadium.

Stadium, right - Go watch a match having Sachin in it at any part of India. Then I am sure, you will believe, if you don't already believe that Cricket is a religion and Sachin is the God.

FYI: Do not at any cost be involved in a discussion which is against Sachin. You can say anything you want against any other player in the team and world in any sport, but never anything against Sachin. This may be harmful for your life.

More to come, hopefully.

The Phone war - Apple iphone vs Samsung

Apple won the patent trial against Samsung and Samsung lost for some $1 Billion. The first thing I did after reading this news is I started counting how many zeros are in that and how much that mean in Rupees - because obviously, like all the Indians staying anywhere in the world - we don’t understand it until we convert it to Rupees.

I am not really going to write about this. Personally, I use a Samsung galaxy and I am pretty much happy with Android. Yes, I also agree that there is nothing like an iPhone. And I believe iphone is for sure overpriced if not overrated. But yes, it has always been Apple versus the others. But then, Samsung is awesome in itself whether or not they copied some features - there are 100s of other features in there too.

It’s all getting serious, isn’t it. I am here to day to tell you about an incident that took place with one of my friends who has - 100 points for guessing - an iphone. They say, one of the features of iPhone 4 is the scratch resistance and drop resistance and rusty and all. Means, it is a strong device in itself.

But this friend of mine - who changes phone nearly every 3 months and now has switched to iphone 4s - is not a aware of this, until last week. Now, what I am about to tell is what he told me - if you think it cant happen, blame him.

Travelling somewhere in bus my friend was playing Paper Toss game on iphone when his iphone grabbed the eye of a cute (he says so) girl. She asked him if she can play a game on it and he gave it to her.

(This guy - doesn't even allow boys to touch it, and he gave it to her to play a game - breach of Brocode)

Now, this girl I suppose was a Micromax phone user because, somehow, while playing the paper toss on iphone, she tossed the iphone itself. The iphone went flying and landed 2-3 feet in front. She screamed during the iphone's flight and everyone was able to watch the device landing; crash landing. My friend might as well have got a mild heart attack too - no one saw his face.

The iphone managed to be in fine condition with few scratches - Attaphone!!! And my friend got punishment for breach of Brocode too.

When it comes to sturdiness, nothing beats Nokia. My Nokia phone has lived the most adventurous life where I throw it in the air just for fun and catch it after it comes back down visiting 4-5 floors. In one of the episodes, my cousin's Nokia survived a 5 floor drop from staircase flight. He went down picking up at least one part per floor finally assembling the phone in parking lot. In two minutes he shouted - "Phone is working except the hash key, search for it". Nokia rocked at a time in its life.

More to come, hopefully.

It is so gay

I am little cautious about not possessing anything that is Pink. Once got a shirt as gift which was little pinkish-purple in colour. I did get it changed after a long argument as how I do or do not respect other's gifts. Believe me, it was a long discussion but I don't care - make that  pinkish-purple thing change its colour.

Once I saw two guys accidentally wearing same shirt on casual day in office. On top of it, they were from same team and were friends too, so they did hang out whole day together with same kind of shirt. If I would I been a part of that accident then I would rather have had a real accident before reaching office like that.
If you haven't got the point yet - their shirts were pink (baby pink precisely).


The new office somehow does not have an exchange policy, or even a discussion policy regarding office stuff. In case you are wondering what I am talking about, well, I got a  pinkish-purple bottle as a part welcome kit.




The  pinkish-purple bottle

Because I would not have this bottle back in my house, it stays on my work place.

I actually did ask if there was other colour only to make the HR get a laugh on it.



Today, in evening I went to meet friends. New haircut is hardly a point of discussion with boys and we don't compliment much on this. The criticism, is always a possibility though.
Displayed the welcome kit to them and told them the bottle which I left in office (on purpose off course). They were all digging in as why I get so freaked out on somethings - I gave up the conversation saying "because it is so gay".

A new entrant to the group was quiet till now. He is a friend of friend of friend...means I don't exactly know who the hell he was.
New guy: Is complimenting another boy is so gay?
Me: No, complimenting isn't exactly so.
New guy: You got a cool haircut dude.
Me: Ehh.. what? Thanks.
New guy: I mean really, what did you do? The back hair looks longer but not bushy. Seems you have a thin kind of hair. Is the gray a shade you added or are those getting white now.

(By now, everyone is suspecting the New guy for something and are just moving away from him)

New guy: (Continues...) I think you should try the reverse combing of your hair. Can I just touch....
Me: *shouts* No........ you know what - complimenting a boy on his hairstyle may not be any kind of gay but talking on and on about it IS SO GAY.

He backs off and goes in silent mode again.

More writes to come; hopefully.

Joint Account - Really!!!

Yes, its my first day at new office and I do not know many people. As there is nothing much to do, I was recalling some of the times where I smiled or laugh. Now sharing with you for a laugh (if you find it funny too).

Here is what happen when I once visited bank (yeah, I had to because apparently, somethings cannot be done via netbanking).
I was not trying to hear the conversation the woman and the man were having, but they were so loud that I bet even the bird flying a mile up in the sky would be able to hear them. If you were in a perimeter of one mile in heart of Dombivali - Mumbai, I am sure you already heard them.
They were discussing about opening a joint account. They did not look newly married so I guessed they were lately having a thought of opening a joint account due to something I don't yet know.

Woman: What is the benefit we are supposed to get out of this. We both have independent accounts.
Man: See, independently, we are not able to track expenses and so we are not planning in good way. From now on we will only use this joint account for household and other expenses and see how much we are left with.
Me (thinking): That seems smart move. Attaboy!!!


Woman: I am so excited about this. Finally we are getting a joint account done. It will be fun.
Man: Yeah, it will be.

Me (thinking and nearly reaching LOL): Yes, it will be fun for everyone except you man.

Bank Exec: So here is how it works. Anyone can put in money; You can withdraw money using debit card and you also get a credit card whose bill will be paid off from the money in account.



Joint Account - Money couple



Man: Great. Thanks.
Woman: I will keep the debit card, I visit shop more.
Man: Yeah, sounds cool. And I will take credit card.
Woman: Ok. But for what?
Man: Ehh... I do shop at times.
Woman: But not without me. Let me have that credit card too.
Man: Well...
Woman: Give it here, safe in my purse. *Smiles*

Me (thinking and between LOL & ROFL): Safe in Purse.. Are you kidding the man there.



The man and woman are just about to leave but suddenly -



Woman: Now that we are already here - I think you should deposit 20000 to start out joint account. *holds his hand*

You can guess what happened next. Yes, he deposited money in the joint account and I am sure she went shopping later - without him.

I somehow managed to pick up myself after all that ROFL and finished my work at bank. Then I was thinking whether the couple was recently married or not.
The way she smoothly made him do what she wanted suggested that they were. Or probably, they have been sleeping early for a long time except that morning.

More to come people. Hopefully.
