Finally I saw LRM …
The movie was entertaining and thought provoking … though I am still not convinced if the concept of gandhigiri would work to an extent… a common man (like me) just cannot survive on the philosophies of MKG… simply because those are too harsh to live …
So far, (am to a great extent even today) – I am not a follower of MKG… but some of the principals I saw in the movie – I have been following them through out my life… not because MKG said… but because my environment taught me so… like honesty and truthfulness (ppl who know me … know I am very bad at lies)… try to resolve issues peacefully and with a thought process … but it doesn’t mean that I don’t lie… I lie / cheat a lot … sometimes to myself too … I don’t think always good for everyone in my life… I am selfish and money minded … things which do not belong to the Gandhian principals…
Another reason why Gandhigiri might not be very effective – is that ppl don’t slap / use lathis anymore … they just shoot … and there is no second chance… further, ppl today are too busy with their own daily issues to wait for anything to happen!!! It’s a race and everyone wants to win … (or at least continue racing till he lasts) … Gandhigiri requires patience… which is something at a scarcity at large.
Bottom line is Gandhigiri is tough … not impossible … but requires high level of will power and inner strength …
Note: after hearing a lot of debate on the word “gandhigiri” through media … I hv only one thing to say … if Gandhigiri is to dadagiri, then Gandhi-ism is to terrorism …

Pyar ke side effect…
After long time I saw some movie… and this one was fantastic…
Too good … I’ll say everyone who’s yet to marry or is about to… should see this one… it not only talks about pyar ke side effects – it also talks about engagement ke side effect and break up ke side effects and also touches upon shaadi ke side effects…
Rahul Bose has again given his best … PKSE really (subtly) touches the pain points of being in committed and is interesting to see stupidity people can go thru…
Hilarious …

Nokia N73
Just bought myself a new phone after a long wait… upgrading myself from Nokia 3310 (yes I was using the ancient one) … to Nokia N Series – N73 with 3.2 Mega Pixel camera (Carl Zeiss Optics) and amazing music system (3-D sound!!!) and a large screen …
Though there are plenty of apps which I don’t think so I’ll be using – but when compared to Sony-Ericsson K 790i (I was about to buy this one) – Nokia was way too good looking!
… so far it has been a bit of expensive (& luxury) expense of mine!
