Favourite Hero Entry

Karan Johar claims that he has introduced Shahrukh Khan in slow motion in all his movies (it's for you to check if he follows the trend in My Name is Khan :-P). None of his 'dramatic' entries compare to my favourite entry in a film - that of Ajay Devgan in Phool aur Kaante:

He stands mounted on two bikes, one leg on each. The bikes along with their entourage consisting of a few more bikes are zooming with high speeds and the hero showing absolutely no signs of any imbalance even in the sharpest of the turns. He's required to break his perfectly comfortable stance on approaching a road divider, where the bikes separate out a bit, and he spreads his legs out wide. He resumes his original position on arriving outside the college campus, where he's welcomed by hordes of female fans lined up on both sides of the road cheering wildly. The hero breaks into a big grin, raises his fists in the air and does a "Yay"!

The scene ends rather disappointingly though. The bike gang approaches the college building with a jerk, and the 'acrobat' is thrown out of his amazing stance and lands in the laps of - hold your breath - an overweight sidekick!

Absolutely amazing :-D

PS: It'll be immense fun in knowing your own "Favourite Hero Entry".

Lessons of Life

I like learning things from around - anything, anywhere, anytime. It's fun observing and then trying to imbibe them. Some trivial things I noticed have now become milestones down my memory lane, really!

 
1) Table Manners

There used to be an advertisement being aired on DD long time back of Hajmola candy –> in which a hostel warden was instructing students on table manners - "Right hand mein knife, left hand mein fork". One of the students was found to have Hajmola in his hands, and teacher asks, "Right hand mein kya hain?" The student says, "Kuch khatti kuch meethi" and then everyone throws the knives and forks, to have food with their hands…
That advt helped me remember, every time, even now, that actually knife is always to be in the right hand. In formal dinners that I am invited to, this ad comes handy to me :)


2) Lesson of Never Say Die

During our school days, we had read numerous stories one of which was about a distraught king who lost his entire kingdom and how he regained it - gaining self confidence from an ant who tried zillion times to climb the rock. I remember the morale of Never Say Die from this.


3) Lesson of Self-Hygiene

A cat always ensures that the place she is going to rest is clean. It also keeps licking its own body, to wipe any dirt.


4) Lesson of Hardwork

A horse never sits, it only picks up one leg, at the time he sleeps. Only if he is ill or about to die, we can see him lying down. How strong!


5) Staying fit

Whoever said thin people (nothing cryptic, I'm referring myself) can't be fit?! Damn them! Can't even remember when I last had Sardi/Khokla/Taap or I'd fallen short of breath while playing Tennis, singles mind you!

6) Lesson to thank and respect others

According to me the most important lesson in life. Why can't we show our Watchman or the waiter at a hotel the same respect that we show towards one from our kin? A Jadoo ki Jhappi always works, try it. I did :-)
