 Am I excited or what? Two new franchises for next year's edition of IPL......wow....and the race is on...running hard are   Pune, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Kanpur, Dharamsala, Vizag, Rajkot, Cuttack, Baroda, Kochi, Indore and Gwalior.....While Ahmedabad and Pune seem to be front runners...with strong backing up....  Ahmedabad seems to be a sure winner....since it is being sought after by Adani group and strongly backed by NARENDRA MODI...making it a part of some Golden Gujarat campaign....and besides we did see how much of support an event like ICL got in Ahmedabad two years ago....now this is IPL......am looking forward to see Ahmedabad in action..in the next IPL.... Close behind are Videocon....eying Pune.....along with Abhishek Bachchan........... I really wished that Priyadarsan and Mohanlal along with the Muthoot group bought the Kochi franchise...but seems like they have deterred themselves from doing so...due to the new clauses set by the IPL governing council...which says :

मोरे पिया  Jal The Band Boondh - A Drop of Jal My Rating - 9/10 This one's not that famous ....not in India atleast...I mean...when someone mentions JAL.....what strikes our minds first is AADAT......followed by WOH LAMHE and SAJNI.

The moon and the stars kept asking me...."whats wrong?" haan.. mein wohi tum wohi sama yeh wo na raha.

हे या ! Hey Ya! Film: Karthik Calling Karthik Singers: Loy Mendonca, Shankar Mahadevan, Clinton Cerejo Music Director: Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy Lyricist: Javed Akhtar My Rating - 9/10 Reflections Ever wondered how it feels like....when you are a very simple guy and are taking your gal on a long drive......on an enchantingly glittering express highway.....on a rainy night........with the freshly wed breeze runs its clustering fingers through your hair.....you look at her...her long brown hair....flowing backwards.....and you really wanna touch them.....wt song wud u hear in ur MANN-MANDIR...(...:P...)...well...ask me....I'd say.....my heart would sing--- HEY YA!....I wanna get closer to you....

Sonu Nigam's busy popping out Chartbusters in Kannada.... one after the other....he started singing Kannada songs in 2005 and now after huge hits like Ninidalle and Chinna Hele Hegiruve.....here comes a song that f_cking kills me and thus lifts me to heaven !......God!....what a great song....hope I could sing too.......even though I could understand only 5% of the song until I asked one of my aunts (who hails from proper Manglore) to translate the song for me....but she grew suspicious of my intentions......lol!

I am big fan of Farhan Akhtar...and it doesn't matter wht he's doing...DIRECTING......PRODUCING.....ANCHORING A TV SHOW....or ACTING...I just love him....and his stupid jokes in his PHATI AWAAZ............ So....don't mind....if I end up praising this movie...coz thats wt I'm gonna do..anyway....

Even when you go for a lil snack break during the intermission..u'd be probably thinking...."who has called him........again?" A friend of mine told me...that the movie is ok till the climax.....while the climax is one big CHOO-panti....Thank God...I didn't fall for his EXPERT verdict...huh....the stupid guy...wud hv striped me off one good movie....
