How much greedy one should be ?

1 hour in treadmill that includes 55 minutes non-stop running and 5 minutes walking burns 615 calories and makes you run 5.5 miles. I did that today morning from 6:30AM to 7:30AM. Still I am slower than when I finished a 10K(5.95 miles) outdoors in 45 minutes. Isn’t it a tale 16 years back ? Amazing how time goes by.

 

Believe me this workout of mine is nothing. There are people around me who spin my head when I hear their feats. Interesting part to note that a lot of these people have interest in athletics from

their school or college days. They loved sports and games from very early age and continues to pursue the same given so little time they could garner from their daily chore.

 

Can you believe the pressure of working in foreign land, doing everything with our own hand. Raising children, keeping up to the expectation of wife, friends and relatives, health gets  second attention. I understand money is important for everything, but one needs to set a threshold beyond which one should not care or aim/chase for. If you want crazy money, your life, your present and future and everything else will be crazily screwed. You may loose your wife’s love, your kid’s attention and your friends’ affection. Think twice before you try for that next high-paying job. Please try to see through the poison-clad-stress-mixed offer letter and sweaty-gorgeous suit of yours.

 

Greed is dangerous. It will ruin your whole life. Remember that story in which 4 boys set out in the search of treasure and each boy returns back when one gets treasure in form of silver, gold and diamond except the fourth who assumes he may be lucky enough to get something more precious than diamond(I know I know there is platinum and what not), but rather gets a spinning wheel on his head which will remind him of his greed. That’s what I am saying…we need to stop at some time and think why we need money for and why we need so much money for ? We need to know the point of exit since there is no end to the greed. Focus more on family and your health. You will get best return in the future. I need to stop too……. J !!!

Why one should not go for movie "Besharam" ?

Wanted to give a firsthand review of the bollywood movie "Besharam" watched over this weekend. Ticket cost was $11.50(X2) and a popcorn was only $7. Gas cost me roughly $10-$15. Calculate all the investments we make without a second thought and think about the enjoyment ROI. Went to the theatres with a lot of enthusiasm but came out with :(

As per the title of the movie "Besharam"(shameless), Ranveer Kapoor did the full justice to the character  of an orphan with ease and vitality. Film was stuffed with a lot of dancing and funny songs. Yesteryear couples Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh scored highest marks in their acting, humor and even dance.  It was hard to tell whether Ranveer is leading or Rishi is. Ranveer's buddy in the film, T2 is lovable and would sure to get the attention of the audience with his funny punches. With all this goodies, still I would not suggest you to spend your hard-earned bucks and time in the theatre for this movie.

So what went wrong with this movie? The lack of the story...rather I felt it's another bullshit story that Indian filmgoers has to take yet again. Had this movie been released 30 years back, I would have not complained, but this movie.....after so many years later we are making the same old movies. A movie should be written with some thoughts and current state of the population.  At one point it made me ponder whether it's  a kids movie because my son was definitely enjoying the dance and action.  Heroine of the movie(who was she?), don't feel like she is the heroine. So let's not talk about it. Let's call it my personal preference.  

 Ranveer and I did the same kind of mistake; he by doing the movie and I by watching .  I felt like cheated and wanted my money and time back . I strongly recommend that Central Board of Film Certification should add another certificate - BS(Bullshit), along with U, UA, A and S (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Board_of_Film_Certification) so that people should get the signal well in advance that they are taking a risk. Anyways guys...would not say much. Would end this blog with the advice "Please read movie review before stepping into the theatre". Don't be the first fool :) Realized what Chanakya told - Learn from others mistake because learning from ones mistake would take ages. He was right.
