Rant 64: Azad Hind Blogpost

Ok so my Friday nights are getting weirder by the day....BUT!!!!!!!
this is the limit
NOW,
I pride myself on the number of documentaries and movies I have seen on the second world war. Indeed, I can probably give a very informative Rant on Hitler's military moves during this period. However, among the many renditions of this futile war, there is one movie that just ticked me off.
As an Indian, I am proud of how much my earlier generation fought for the freedom but to see it condensed into THIS piece of bollywood influenced K-serial-esque DRAMA SHIT!! is just pushing it.
honestly! the movie Bose: The Forgotten Hero is perhaps the crappiest WW2 movie I have ever seen. I have only one sentence to describe it.

It is nothing less than a drama-induced Wikipedia article!


Basically, a fallen hero's life condensed into a 3 hour movie that jumps so fast, an olympic gymnast would be ashamed at the speed of it.
DO NOT WATCH IT! EVER!!!!!!!! you would do better to spend your time in a moth-infested library, researching Subash Chandra Bose's life

PS: I know I am being a tad hypocritical by linking wiki articles here but it's basically to prove my point....If you can't GET it ...then sadly you need to think harder..or maybe watch this crappy movie

Rant 61: Talking to myself..the sequel to Rant 5

So here is a sequel to the getting out of my mind phase. The only difference is the "mine" character which was originally my brain, is now me in the future......"me" is still the same old me

Mine: I shouldn't do this but I pulled you out for a moment to give you a hint.

Me: A hint???

Mine: Take wrong turns, talk to strangers, open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they're doing. Do things without always knowing how they'll turn out.

Me: Why tell me this?

Mine: You're curious and smart and bored and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures you miss because you're waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember, that you are always making up the future as you go.

Me: So wait, what is this place? Am I going to wake up thinking this was a dream?

Mine: Think of this as after the game, outside the theatre. To go in, I had to suspend disbelief, forget the outside.

Me: So you, why are you giving me hints that I'm going to forget?

Mine: You'll forget this trip but I think the hints should stay with you.

Me: If this is a game, are you - are we cheating???

Mine: Yep.

My thanks to some very experienced friends from 2007-2009.

Rant 49: If Truth be told...

• South Park is not even half as funny on VH1 with all the "good" stuff either bleeped out or (worse!) completely cut-out (as much as bootlegged copies)
• Procrastination levels in a person are directly proportional to the number of dishes / clothes that are craving his/her attention at home.
• Work sentiment in the office is directly proportional to the Internet Bandwidth available there.
• Friends will always have an opinion on your behaviour/ thoughts/ on what you say… but will mostly spill it out in front of other friends when they want to look cool…(only) very rarely will they let it out to you.
• Musical preferences cannot be imposed upon someone, nor should you be held socially accountable for them.
• The Air Conditioning in the office will always seem to get worse (read: colder) just when you think it’s at the right temperature.
• A bad cricket team will always lose, no matter how many "informed" individuals cram themselves in front of a 14" TV and scream instructions.
