Hola Folks !
Mondays are such a slow starters that people(like me) take the opportunity for blog writing.
In fact as I was writing the above line , I realised that on the positive side , Monday is indeed a good opportunity for this. Chance to summarize the whole last workweek and also to word your weekends, at a time when moments are just starting to give way to consuming weekdays again.
So, What were my moments last week? Umm...Had a sleepy Saturday (Yes , don't have that disgusted expression,,people who leave at 6:30 am and return at 7:30 pm daily ought to have a full day sleep on Sats). Sunday was quite a fun though..We were going for Agneepath...Yes Hrithik starer Agneepath and by 'we', I mean me and my friend Sherry...(though his habits be somewhat like a girl(Oops! sorry sherry, I know you don't read this!) but he is a boy..). Of course, we both were very excited. I was quite excited as it was a long time since my last movie outing specially a hit one. Though the intensity of Sherry's excitement was only evident to me when we were eating burgers at McDonald , waiting for the show and he told me that he forgot to collect the change from bus conductor.(40 bucks, no big deal!)
Anyways, the movie started quite well specially the entry of Lord Voldemort Senior a.k.a. Kaancha Cheena...Damn Man! He was looking seriously evil.. In that Black, death eater's wear and with that bald look along with horrific beats in background.... Roaring claps, screams and whistles could be heard all around. Gradually as the movie unfolded, one could see the difference in scripts of both Agneepaths. Though the plot was still same and the flow was easily predictable. Sanju baba did look menacing but more work could have been done in dialogues writing and dialogue delivery. Also, after initial few shots his role came to lights only in the climax.In terms of acting, I would say everyone performed average with Rauf Lala a.k.a. Rishi Kapoor leading the pack. Though the movie was long enough but it engaged pretty well. Even then I think the length could have been shortened. Sets and locations were perfect according to plot and music is suiting the situations. Hrithik has performed well but certainly not his best performance. Movie was a one time watch surely.
Overall, I would agree with ratings it received(3/5). Also agree to the fact that it was a remake and so the plot advantage was easily lost. Even after being so long and too predictable(not director's fault), it was enjoyable with some scenes raising adrenaline levels and some raising throat choking emotions...the song by Sonu Nigam...Ab mujh mein kahin..being the one such phase...
While coming back, sherry would have been a Man of Joy..as his ticket loss got somewhat relieved when the conductor didn't ask us for tickets(Yes, even we didn't bothered to ask him). Now, generally a man of honesty I am ;-) , but someone has said "Eent ka jawaab paththar se dena chahiye", that being a different issue who gave 'Eent' and who got 'paththar'..as far as we were concerned they both were conductors.
At home, when I was fighting hard to avoid sleep(If you sleep in afternoon, you wake at night and cant wakeup at 5 next morning...) I realized that I was missing something and it didn't took long to switch to Australian Open finals. Feels so good when you are a Live witness to match of history. Yes , that's what I'll call it. That's what everybody is calling it. The longest Grandslam finals ever. 5 hours 53 minutes...Are you joking!..and hell of a nail biter..
Djoker beat Rafa 5-7 6-4 6-2 6-7 7-5 and during the course of the game I was unable to decide whom to support as I am a sport lover not star lover(doesn't holds true in case it's cricket).
At the end of fourth set though after a great comeback by Rafa , I thought it would be his day but that's what they call unbelievable .. after every point, you couldn't say whose cake it was...
Audience were quite clearly the winner..to watch such matches is a feast...
Slowly, my super Sunday faded into darkness with delicious 'aloo matar gobhi'( ok I'm lying, we couldn't find matar in market..) as I prepared for a Routine Monday.
Writing blog on Monday is surely fine but you gotta be careful because as I am about to finish this I have been caught by my manager 4-5 times. Now I wish, he is a fan of literature(:-( which I'm sure my blog isn't an example of)
Anyway, a good time pass till lunch.
Seeya All!
Signing Off !

Back in Business !
Hey People !
It's been a long time since my last post and here I am again with a hope to be regular. Well , this time it's different because I am going to be regular.
Firstly, wanted to share with you all- I switched. Ya , "switched" thats what they call shifting companies in software industry. Since getting into Infosys , It was a plan , must have been a plan of every friend of mine and by God's grace it got executed early than even I expected.
On December 08 , when 2011 was drowning in its dusk , finally I got something. And that was an offer from Samsung India Software Operations. Certainly not my destination but surely it's the path leading to it. All in all, now people can expect something more from my blog posts. It's not that I'll leave analysing things n life but it's just that I'll be more regular now and so therre would be a lot of variety in my posts.
How was my frist day at Samsung , well it was great.
For someone who has been around some of the best architectural marvels in india or in world(read Infosys) , Samsung's building was not a cake from outside but as I have always believed (in case of humans too)- It's not the outward appearance that decides who you are but it's the inner self , values and character that defines you.
Truly so , after entering at the first sight , it seemed that knowledge was flowing in air. On face value people looked intellectual(Yes , somethings can be made out from outward appearance as well ;-))
and since that moment , till now it's been a different world.
Free breakfast , lunch , dinner and transport alonwith some good gifts , policies and most important of all - cutting edge technology, gadgets , systems and super consuming , intelligent work. To detail everything in a single post would be an injustice to it.
In March 2007 , I alongwith some friends(whom I happen to meet at IIIT) were among some of the most deserving students of this country- that was the ground zero, but then some incidents changed life. Some people went to IIT's and some managed an extra 'I'. It need not be said what life became but as of now seeing the people around me , from all spheres(IIT's , IIIT's , NIT's and REC's)I can say that I am again back to ground zero.
In past there were mistakes I made but now it's a new starting , new race.
It can be felt that I am kind of obsessed with this IIT setback but I accept I am,
ask people who suffer.But now atleast some part of that is washed. One day I pledge it will be all over.
One thing was very clear to me from the starting that - I deserved to be in IITs
but from few years there's one more thing has occupied my mind , instead say it's been a kind of hidden goal - IIT's didnt deserved me, I am much more than an IITian.
Ladies & Gentlemen this will be proved in due course of time.
So , as they say that not every great comes from an IIT , so be it proved once again for Siddharth Saxena is back in business.
