Its a typical night out with lots of friends, minus the booze, plus a healthy dose of laughter and fun and frolic....(i should mention here that this used to happen way back...almost seems ages back. Also the venue didn't matter much as the option were ). Someone is playing the mood setting, soothing melodies by Kishor Kumar......out of nowhere u hear soft whistle blowing in the background...and it is met with a loud groan from the rest. The "street DJ" has suddenly altered the mood by playing "SHOLAY" for the umpteenth time......

All other activities please take a back seat!!! After all its "Sholay" time.....Pulsating, melodramatic, humorous, amazingly entertaining and at times tragic, every glorifying adjective that comes to your mind can be attributed to this film. Every scene and characters come to life on screen and that is what watching this movies every time makes a memorable experience.

"Paise jo tum chaho....kaam jo mein chahoo...."

You have got to admit that this is dialogue delivery at its very best...Kudos to Sanjeev Kumar!!!

"Tumhara naam kya hai, Basanti"

Every time I watch this scene i cant help but smile....this wisecrack must be one of the best to have come through....

The dialogues are so legendary that I'll need the entire script to quote here...but its neither about the script nor about the dialogue. Its about the feeling that this movie generates that never ceases to amaze you. You had an entire generation of Jais and Virus and many more after that. No pair of stars has been able to create such kind of a jodi...so much so when Govinda and Sanjay Dutt starred in the forgettable Jodi No. 1, their characters were named Jai and Viru.

Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge!!!!! Just want to sign of with this........

Nostalgia

I am nostalgic!!!!!!! And i've been thinking a lot for the past couple of days (just something that i do on a lot more regular basis now)....but somehow i cant seem to get this topic of my mind....

Just the other day almost all the newspapers carried photos of small kids on their first day at school....They all looked so cute with most of them crying their eyes out....and somehow it reminded me of my, not first, but definitely my last few school days. or should i say last few years...

Man how i miss those days!!!!! They say an empty mind is devils work shop...agreed to that. but i'd say a relaxed, free mind is more dangerous than a devil's just for the fact that it takes u down that memory lane u'd rather venture not....Not that the memories are disturbing or anything, but they do make u restless...restless in a way that is, i must admit, is endearing. I am not the kind of guy who reminisces....but all i felt the other day was to just go to my Alma Mater, sit in the any classroom and listen to an entertaining yet knowledgable Marathi class or an "epic" History class by or a "pure" Hindi class....well the list is endless...so are the memories associated with them.

Times have changed drastically...no one knows where the hell we'll land up....and we dun even know when, possibly, we'll be able to share those memories together. But i cant sit back and wait for that day....the world is getting closer. Its about time we took the plunge. So here i am, asking all you guys to share your best momories here. Maybe in due time we'll all be able to publish our own year book which has been long due.

Looking forward to your ideas and posts....
