Avatar 3D * * * * *

It's not a movie.It's above it.It's an experience so fantastic and innovative that it will take your breathe away.It will make you hate earth.You just can not imagine how deep is the rabbit hole courtesy James Cameron.People might fuzz about the 3D effects but at the end it does not even matter.The thing that mesmerizes you is the 'Imaginarium of Dr.Cameron'.The way he structured Pandora and the 10-feet blue giants.The flora of Pandora will be the most beautiful thing you will ever see in your life.The beautiful and lightened trees and flowers. Some wonderfully weird creatures.

The storyline is pretty awesome too.Humans have found out a new planet Pandora where the Navi's live.Beneath the mammoth tree in which they are inhabited, there lies large volumes of some precious stone which the humans seek.They try to negotiate with the local giants for almost five years by sending to them robots which look like them but are mentally controlled by a human.They are called Avatars.Through the avatars human try to understand the Navi's ultimately to make the deal happen.But things go to the unexpected levels when an disabled ex-marine joins the army at Pandora.He somehow manages to please the people of Pandora and becomes one of them but only to find him changing sides.He decides to help the Navi's and their sacred love for the nature.

The thing that will shake the ribs out of you is a phenomenon.That every living organism is connected to the nature and to each other through some bonds and everything is controlled or can be controlled by a central nervous system.In our words, suppose you have a tale with a USB port and so do all the living things and then you can download data from any tree or something.Wouldn't that be cool ? Everyone on Pandora is thus bonded to each other and its all one entity.Isn't this awesome?There is a scene when the human forces seem to be way stronger and the future of the Navi's is on the verge of destruction, then all animals come to rescue the Navi's.That is just awesome.Nature can kick some serious ass.If you have not seen this one, I beg of you to go and see this one.Something so huge and mesmerizing will probably not take form in your lifetime again. Avatar represents the next level of cinema.It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Fantastic in short.

23

Oh ya ! I am 23 years young today ( not old, young! ). There is something special about this number 23 and it's not that Jim movie hangover, I feel it all the time. I don't know if you do too, but hell yes I feel that all the time. Whenever there has to be a number associated with something, for me surprisingly it turns out to be 23 most of the time.Be it the seat number when traveling, in the movies and blah blah.Be it when I look at the time. Be it the date when something good happens to me.I can go on and on.Ergo I feel this year will be different.Good Different.Big different.Amen !

So it all started even before then clock hit 12. Some people called to wish before time complaining," Oye yaar, it will be all busy and all later and also I wanted to be the first one to wish you!".Come on people, you were all sleepy sleeper son ! Weren't you ? And then bang ! I was 23. My flatmates got a butter-scotch cake with 'Swaps' on it. Thanks you guys. And then we went to the best place in Hyderabad we know as of now for the cake-on-face ceremony.The roof-top of our 6-floor apartment.It's always so beautiful up there with the breeze, the moon and the girls standing in the balconies of other apartments.So there we were in that peaceful heaven with a cake, a knife,candles and no match-sticks. "I told you to get the maachis dude"."No you so did not!"...."Blah"...."Blah". I didn't hear any of the rest that followed.I was so involved with the lovely delicious cake."Lets use the rocks to make fire to lit up the candles",someone added.I will be 24 by then ! Huh. Finally, the ceremony began.More of that on my face than in my mouth.It was wonderful.The cake i mean.

Slept late to was not up early.But the phone calls kind of kept me in a place between the real world and the matrix ( read dream world). When I got up, I was high on happiness. It was difficult to figure out whether i was more happy about the day being my birthday or the fact that today was D-day. We had reservations at Imax for Avatar 3D.I have never waited for a movie so long.42 days since the release.I had to book like 3 weeks before.Crazy gult damn movie loving hyderabadis.On the way to Imax, I met a close friend from kgp.Good to see you buddy.Sad that we didn't get to spend time, but at least we met.Whenever I see someone from kgp, my insides scream out loud "Same species !".Miss KGP alot.That reminds me that on this birthday I did not sit on my pillow.Anyways, on the way, one more thing happened, I think I finally know how to ride a bike.Driving in hyderabad is a dare. And I just want to salute all those who do this everyday.Drive safely people.So there we were standing outside Imax after James Cameroon ripped off all the imagination we ever had with us.We all were so bummed.For like half an hour, no one could speak.Why was I born on earth? When clearly my heart beats for Pandora like a true Nabi.I could actually feel the USB tail growing from behind which you can plug in to every thing which is living and download stuff.I lower my head to maker of the greatest movie ever made.Respect \m/

We somehow managed to come back on earth.Also it was so amazing to see Abhineet not coming up with a PJ for almost an hour.Avatar was awesome! Eat street was moderately crowded with the hussain sagar lake looking beautiful and with a less irritating smell than last time.We ordered food and Richa ordered Chinese.Her effective management skills came into use when she utilised all other resources to finish off her plate and saving herself from being tagged 'Shalini'.The food was good and fulfilling.Other than that, a bad girl was stalking us through out with a cat tattoo on her shoulder.From the movie to eat street ! Then we went to a cruise in the lake.The black waters of Hyderabad and a bunch of black ducks.The Buddha statue in the middle of the lake is the biggest of its kind in India given several where clause that its of Buddha,its a monolith and so on.It was looking white from distance but when we landed on the island it was all bird shit.While going back on the boat, the debate was over a big celestial body.Some said its the sun.Some said Moon.Someone said balloon.Yeah, who was that BTW? And finally Richa came out as the winner.It was a fun-day indeed. A wonderful birthday.

Cheers

Why is it so hard ?

Why is it so hard for you ?
You two have known me forever.
Why can't you see what I see?
Why can't you feel like I do?

Is it more about what others might say,
what others might gossip?
Is it more about that pride?
Its just perceptions, why don't you get it?
Is it about me being unconventional?
or is it the fear of being loved less?
But tell me, why is it not about what makes me happy?

It happens only once.
Even goes beyond your death, it's eternal.
And not all are fortunate enough to live that dream.
Let me live my dream,
Trust me, I am no kid anymore,
why is it so hard ?
why.

Lord of the Street

There comes a time in every man's life,
when he has to decide,
between two of the most beautiful ones,
two of the most gorgeous creations.
Both attractive and equally real.

I wonder, O Lord !
can't i have them both ?
'No', he says, in a loud voice,
'You can not love both!'

So, I made a choice.
And there she stands.
Blushing all red with glittery eyes!
Promising me journeys for life,
There she is, Lord of the Street, FZ!

Happy New Year

Just another day it was,
with the same old story,
without any glory,
and the ordinary me.
Just another day,
with the same old sun,
that cute little breeze,
and that all blue sky.
Just another day it was!

But there was something to it,
with all the energy,
that irrational exuberance,
zest to recuperate in those who fell before,
there was so much more to it,
with all the smiles and wishes,
celebration and kisses,
the promises and resolutions,
A new beginning, a new day and a new year.

This year lets pledge,
to be honest with ourselves
and to others,
to help those in need,
to care, to love and to spread joy!
I wish you happiness,
And a Happy New Year.
