When your company starts growing and you start hiring people and you do not find the right people, you feel frustrated. You slog for more than 15 hours a day, you have quite a few mails of prospective clients waiting for reply…you wake up every morning with the aim of replying to pending mails and finishing all the work but it never happens, you slog, you slog to finish most of the work on your own..because you don’t have right people for it.. you slog, you feel frustrated and frustrated and frustrated.. and still you enjoy this..seeing the bright future…dreams.. dreams and  dreams..work work and work..slog..slog..slog.. need peace, a good peace for atleast few days..just few more months of real slogging..and it never stops…

hope, tension, tension, tension, hope… money.. dreams, tension, dreams, dreams..work, work work…fun fun and pure fun…

bhaiya isiko he kehte hai buziness (bro, this is what is called Business)

I know this is gonna be one of weirdest post ever by me but this is what my mind says and I just write what my mind tells me..

I just returned from Blogcamp Pune. The last session was at 4.30 PM but we left an hour early as we found things going haywire.

The things started around 9.40 AM with introduction to blogcamp Pune and introduction of the visitors started later. (which according to me was not necessary) Now, this delayed the first session from 10.30 AM to 11 AM.

I am not going to talk about every session as most of them were from the sponsors and were marketing oriented. Some even tried to pitch in the product but they forgot to have a good presentation, they kept on talking about their company and blog related stuff. They did not talk much about the product for which they were marketing haha

The only good session according to me was from Mumbai based blogger Melody on negative effects of blogging. Infact I really wanted to share some stuff on that issue but there was very less time in the end and infact she also could not finish it off properly.

I also wanted to speak on starting your own blog and earning from blogs but I don’t know I did not feel like conducting a session. The unorganized things put me off basically. The wifi needed some proxy settings to be configured to access and no information regarding the server information was provided in the rooms. The rooms did not have air conditioner, so this was another negative point. And the worst part was, only couple of blogging related sessions.

But, it happens, this is how we learn. The organizers will obviously learn from this mistakes and next time they will have something much better…

Note: This post was partially written around 6.30 PM

WHAT A ROYAL CRAP!!! 10.30 PM houseful show, people entering with excitement and getting out with demands for the refund haha.. and I was one of them. I need my money back. I am sure this movie is gonna be one of the worst movies Yash Raj Films have ever made.

Let’s move on to the story (which I am yet to understand)

2 people meet on the station, waiting for someone. The guy - aka - Rikki Thukral (Abhishek Bachchan) is waiting for his fiance Anaida (Lara Dutta). The girl aka Alvira Khan (Preity Zinta) is waiting for her fiance Steve Singh (Bobby Deol).

So they both talked, discussed their love stories, how they met, they both even sang few songs, did some tattoo and stuff. And they found that they are in love with each other. But what? train has arrived. They both part their ways. (yea, they exchange phone numbers too) But wait a minute, none of them are engaged. They both just cooked up some stories just for the sake of it.

So now? they decide to meet, but they don’t have real fiances. They take help of friends to get fake fiances and they again sing songs, dance and even participate in the dance competition.

Okay, so the story is? Well, that’s it. They somehow manage to know that none of them is engaged and they can fall in love with each other lol

So to narrate the story or in other words, explain this story, director took more than 2 hours and around 30 minutes of songs. But the end result? People still wonder about the story.. haha

Nothing new in the story, first half is utter nonsense. Even first few minutes of 2nd half are bad, then it get back on the track but within next 10 minute, the same old crap starts.

I still do not know why the name of this movie is Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, it could have been Jarokha - the dance competition or may be Railway Station or may be.. oh leave it..

Leaving songs and few good scenes apart, whole movie was total nonsense.

On the acting front, Abhishek is good in few scenes but overall he was bad. Preity was in her usual role. Bobby looked like as if Dharmendra had slapped him and force him to act (and even dance), Bad!! Lara Dutta looked gorgeous, I liked her role as french hotel manager. Loved her accent.

On the music front, good songs, specially the title song (both the versions).

So overall? One of the pathetic movies I have ever seen. 1.5 on 5. Keep yourself away from this movie.
