American Gangsta

I happened to watch this movie yesterday starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. The movie was good set in an era where a guy called Frank was the above mafia in NY/NJ in the business of drugs and dope. Russell plays a cop who is also battling the custody of his son. Good performances by the two especially Denzel. His expressions, move, acting, posture are absolutely brilliant. If i have to critique this film, i'd say i was expecting lot more action than there was. Ridley Scott (director of this film, the one who also made Gladiator) is known for his action packed films but my take on this film was this wasnt all explosive. I'd recommend people to watch it as its based on a true story and this will certainly race in for oscar's for shell performances by the two who already are academy award winners. Go American Gangsta, see you at the red carpet !!

Apology

A new poem from me after a very very long time !

Wondering i said something that blew your mind
Oh believe me, it never was of my kind
Insouciant and casual as i have always been
Never thought i'll be packed someday in chagrin
Sulking are now the nights and days within me
Thinking as when the last words came out in spree
Thwarting all the plans and desires you laid
Never imagined a color of me would make them fade
Longanimity and patience you showcased
Appreciate the virtues on which you are based
Moments that left you in a strand
blame it to one part of land i stand
If only somone could read my true intention
that this heart lives with no pretension
A fault of the body and not the soul
Situations once stable then became out of my control
The truth about something i stole from you
The fact about something i never gave to you
Breaking the fellowship and commitment
Showing no flashes of improvement
If only a book was judged from its cover
so unfortunate, for nothing within to discover
For there i stand again
Holding my hands in pain
Reiterating the same words like a perpetual waterfall
to break any rising wall
Shadows asking for forgiveness, not the languished body
No evil but goodness that i wanted to embody
Surrendering the remaining "Apology" left within me
Protagonist thee !

This is how we celebrated our 25 birthday !!!!!

This is how i celebrated my 25th Birthday (22nd July) at Coyote Ugly club ("Absolutely Uncontrolled Environment") at NYC, USA !!! Time 12 am........(Someone kept his eyes closed in my pic...what a jerk.....heheheeheeh)







This is how my "Twin" sister celebrates her 25th birthday in her office ("Controlled Environment") with her colleagues in India !!!!. Time, of course at some time !




I wish things were simple at my end :-)

This blog comes very late from myself. Was going through my pics n mine sisters and found this hilarious.....

Party with Juniors !

Well, here i go....i came back from last night party. My roommate managed to drive properly and we were back safely. As i entered home, i decided to throw the trash downstairs. I collected the trash and went downstairs. After throwing the trash, i realized i forgot the keys to my apartment.
And worst case, my cell got dead...damn it phone, i was cursing myself. So i was then stuck outside. I waited to see if anyone at 1 am could let em in. But that didnt happen. I happened to see few guys partying in their house and lot of noise coming in. I decided to take some help from them. I knocked at the door and then came out a greek guy. He was courteous enough to provide me with his cell phone. I tried calling my roommate several times but that asshole was fast sleep and did not pick up the phone. The greek guy "Yianni" invited me in his house. Boy, his house rocked with lof of chicks and partying scene set in. It was 1:30 by them and i could see couples getting cosy with each other, some tired and exhausted but still in a mood to have fun !!! Then a sweet girl "Lisa" offered me a drink and slowly became part of their big group, mostly undergrads studying at USC. It was wonderful interacting with them and sharing my thoughts about India with them. These undergrads were having a time of their life....yeah i know its not the first time of theirs but mine. More girls than guys and thats what i like ;). All of them in their 19's or 20's. We Kept talking, playing games till 4:30 in the morning untill i slept on the couch, wow what a couch it was !!! It turned morning before i could get up as i constantly got to hear them talking which broke my sleep. I got up, drank water and again started to talk more with these guys untill i decided to give it a try and come back home and i finally succeeded when someone let me in.....It was a wonderful experience to party with Juniors !

Difference, huh......

Well i am not here to actually show the world some difference in me. Its for my repository that when i look at these pics 30 or 40 years from now or show it to my kids, they will say "OMG"....may be ! To the left is the pic 6 months back when i came to LA in Aug 06 and the right one is taken yesterday on 01/07/07 (thats 7th Jan 2007). To say there aint any difference between the two would be a big joke, am pretty sure i cant hide my cheeks now, they are pretty flattened now....thanks to those chicks (chicken) i eat almost daily in my diet regime..oops.....i hope my parents n sisters n brothers can recognize me when i go back to India. May be they get the wrong person at home...lol, i know it wuz a bad PJ (Poor Joke). Have almost put on 10-12 kilos here in US and to shed it is a very difficult task. God please send some help, i dont wanna lose my identity !!!!!

The Beach !

This aint a common place as there are thousands or even lakhs of visitors coming this place and enjoying the beautiful scenery. But you still will arrive at this place watching the sunset covering the light and casting dark spell within no time. Its a special place meaning a lot for me or for you. This is the place where people like me try to find answers, answers that would silence the waves of questions in my mind or heart. And sometimes you wonder that there is complete serenity in the splashing roaring waves. Questions that you want to hide from the real world come out here at this place. The companions who you can treat like your eternal friends will never fade, never dry, never lie, never shy away, never hide are all here waiting for a tourist like me. This place has the inertia to drive you as it give you enough time to soak your tears, the breezy wind try to cajoling and embracing you. The sand is unique as it seeps your tears in because it wants you to be in a cheerful mood. The blue water welcoming to meet me and showing its gesture by holding my feet again and again. They all try their best whatever they can to share your deep inner emotions feeling you feel on a lighter facet of life. Feel like gazing at this natural beauty far and beyond the horizon where no one has ever seen, to see where a life exists to make me live. This is the place where you be tomorrow just like me, its the Beach !

First New Year at LA 2007 !!!!

Happy New Year to all of you ! I was waiting for this day, a lot excited because this was my first NY celebration in states. We guys planned to goto Universal City walk. Around 5-7k people turned up and got chaotic at the end. But it was fun seeing all shops and market lit beautifully waiting for the new year to arrive. As it struck 12, confetti we could see in the air and spreading as destined to. There were Rock shows by band and full enthusiastic fans. We then headed to a club in Hollywood know as King King where the dJ was playing all hip hop hindi punjabi songs.



Rock was in the Air !!

Christmas Eve

Started my day by visiting the church, then meeting with friends. What an ending at was, every house on the street decorated so beautifully for christmas.

Theatres in Hollywood

This is the "Chinese Theatre" on Hollywood Boulevard quite famous and any tourist to LA cant leave before visiting this place.


Well this is probably one of my best pics, so natural ! Took them at chinese theater where i matched hands with my favourite hollywood star "Arnold Schwarzenegger"'s hand prints , it was a great experience. "I'll be BACK !!!!"


And the finale of the day "Kodak Theatre" where we have the Oscar ceremony.

Trip to Griffith Park

So here i am all the way from 36 Place in LA to Griffith Park Observatory, a must see place for every individual. A planetarium so amazing and beautiful and close to Hollywood sign.


I must say some of the pics are not very clear as theya re taken from my cell phone. Well i know its limitations but it works out for me. The hill where you can see "Hollywood" sign, Boy doesnt it look beautiful. From Griffith observatory, once can see it very closely and get clicked ;)



Took this pic from Griffith place and one can LA in the backdrop. Its absolutely beautiful and magnificent !
