Hi Friends

This year has been full of activity for me...
Especially with me deciding to Bell the Cat this time//////////
Well first of all lemme tell ya guys ... preparing for CAT along with work.. and I mean working in the real sense of that word..(dont consider the bench ) is pretty dam exhauting..
Well may be you can say that it is the test of your determination ... your attitude your perseverence etc..
May be i was not all that prepared for this test is what i Feel.
On a lot many occassions i felt like giving up on CAT.. and look for alternatives...
Now this is where your supportsystem (friends Family) has to pitch in.. Mine did they didnt let me go off the pitch ..
It was like trying to bat it out in the middle .. like Venkatesh Prasad batting against Glenn Mcgrath.. Tryig to survive and not throwing away your wicket...
That is what made me prepare or kind of stay in touch with the books till the D day...
Ya also my joining the TIME insti helped, it was like the feling that you get when you see all those greats all set for the CAT that you get inspired....
And ya the Mock Cat is the best part of all the preparation that you can do... That is what I feel gives you direction to go in the right direction....

Also you need to balance all this with your professional life...
you need to dedicate those sweet long awaited weekends to the feline creature..

Anyways i would say it would be worth this trouble if you manage to get through...
So all the best to all those who gave CAT.........
I did pretty ok in the CAT, now it is time to keep my fingers crossed and wait for the results...

Well Guys i hope you all wish me luck as well...

TaxI no. 9211

Hey first of all to eveyone who pronounces the movie name as "taxi number nine two one one " , the movie name is "Taxi no Nau do Gyarah". I hope the last three words make some sense.
Hey but take my word this phrase has got no relevance in the movie.
Well coming to the movie part, the story is good - or may be to put it as a "bit different" will be better.
It is about two guys from completely different walks of life(social status). One a taxi driver who hides this fact from his wife and kid , and the other guy is a rich millionaire- "Amir Baap ki aulaad " kind. But ,yet they are so very common. The fact that their attitude towards life, there knack of getting carried away very quickly and ability to offend and irritate others within no time is what they share.
Well the plot is sth like this . John's father gives all his property to his friend and not John, and so our john challenges him inthe court.
So here starts the movie - john is late and has to get to the court , so guess wht he takes a taxi -- Nana's taxi.
He asks nana to hurry up and nana crashes the car, john flees from the scene as he is getting late .Nana lands up in a prison and is agitated with john.
Well looks like john escaped no... he drops his locker key in the taxi (the locker which has the will which he wants to present in the court). So he has to go back to Nana.
Now the sotry revolve around how both them try to make each others life hell.
They come in each other's way and do all the possible things in the world to troucble the other.
At the end of the day John loses the will and with it the chance to get his fathers wealth , and nana lands up in a prison, with his wife and kid leaving him bcos he lies to them.
It is now that they both realize that there attitude towards life is where they falter.
They realize this and they make amends for all the bad they have done to each other.
John realizes tht money is not everything in life and Nana goes back to his family a new man.

Thts abt it-- well i think not to impressed witht the story, wait a minute .. dont jump to a conclusion . The movie has a good touch of situational comedy , and Nana's performance is Good , while John is not at his best.
Anyways for milan lutharia the director - a good attempt , but not in the same league as "kachhe Dhaage". All and all a good timepass.
