Have you ever wondered why a certain thing (movie, book anything) is liked by majority and yet you’ve no clue what the fuck is it about. Then one fine day, you just decide that you’ll just watch/read/feel it to know what is it that gives the junta such a high. And bang! There you’re, cursing yourself in the long run, that why didn’t you do it earlier. Sometimes, going with the flow, being in the crowd and not out of it isn’t as bad as it may sound. I’ve experienced this innumerable number of times, and am still continuing doing so. The latest case being of Roadies 5.0 and The Kite Runner.
I always knew ‘The Kite Runner’ is a book definitely worth reading and more, but somehow I wasn’t able to jugadofy it from anywhere. But once I laid my hands on it, I made sure I finish it as soon as possible. 8 hours isn’t too long a time period, is it? After reading a sufficient numbers of best-sellers, now I can safely discern ‘em and others. The narrative description is impeccable. Sentences extremely terse yet dramatically poignant and ostensibly symbolic. I’m already feeling at least 5% Afghani, if nothing else. The plot loosens grip somewhere in the middle, but then Khalid Hossieni becomes even more ferociously captivating.
Ehh.. Who am I kidding? You people must’ve read the book ages ago. Chuck it. I’ll move on.
Roadies 5.0. First thing which comes to my mind after seeing this word is Raghu. Second thing is that why am I not there. And thirdly, all cute girls ain’t scrupulous[yeah, I'm talking about Sambhavi]. Nonetheless, it has made Raghu a celebrity in its’ own distinct manner. The tasks, the politics, the bikes, the girls.. it so very Me!

It’s 3 O’ clock in the morning, and I’m yet not feeling sleepy, despite the fact that I’ve to attend class at 8 in the morning. I’m getting a little insomniac. Perhaps, coz I’m not getting as much attention from females as much as I was used to. It’s a complete black out for me these days. But that doesn’t vex me much. My major concern is her. I’m getting this feeling that she has started ignoring me. Not replying to someone’s routine SMSs suggests so.

I’ve a lot of academic work to do in coming few days. By the way, yesterday I got my first pay check. I thought the feeling will be overwhelming. But strangely -and sadly- it wasn’t. Probably I’ve no one “special” to share it with. I’d loved to spend my first salary on her -or for that matter, anyone who were my love interest- but unfortunately no one is there to acknowledge it. It wasn’t meant to be, or may be, it was meant not to be. Arguably, one of the best lines I’ve ever come across! No candies for guessing the source

This post could very well be attributed to my ongoing drinking spree.
i havent read the Kite Runner yet, but that’s coz i havent had the time and not coz i wanna be different or anything.
But i know what you’re talking about, it happened to me with harry potter
But i’ve also experienced it the other way round…with Five Point Someone. What on earth was all the hype about?
And
“Probably I’ve no one “special” to share it with”?? Get a life…!! Its YOUR first paycheck…*eyeroll*
-now dats something new n brilliant !!! conksy baby ,for d pay cheque…keep up the gud work [:)] m really really so very happy for ya … all i can say is- god bless [:)]
-n dude i “love” sambhavi ..she gives w8 others deserve of,but somehow i find her dumb to a large extent …i meant “prahar aise karo ki ,jaan bhi nikal jaye n pata bhi na chale ” [;)] n raghu is god.
-gawd!!!n u rnt d only one …i ven got hold of ne novel since last sep ,n its frustrating ,but somehow i feel i ve lost dis momentum n urge i had for reading [:(]
-insomniac???how can somebody suffer from dis ??? i mean come on i can still a nap even under unfavourable conditions …[:D]
cholly for all d typing errors …
I know exactly what you mean. Though most of the time, I can usually see through the hype and judge whether I’ll like a certain movie/book/song/TV show or not. However, my assessments have been wrong too at times.
Exhibit A – Roadies. That is a FUN show.
Raghu is overrated though. He is good yes, but not as good as he is made out to be. Most of the people going for the auditions are pretty dumb as it is and added to that they are overwhelmed by the camera and consequently get dumbed down further.
I haven’t read the Kite Runner yet. There are so many books I’ve been meaning to read but as of late I’ve lost the urge. The focus has begun shifting to writing instead. It worries me.
I am an insomniac too. Have been one for years.
And lastly, congratulations on the pay cheque!
@ wild iris
That same thing happened with me for HP stuff. I mean what the fuss is all about? Perhaps, like minded people reckon similar stuff..
@ astutyapurwa
That’s fine with me
@ Bharat Iyer
Raghu isn’t overrated, in fact he isn’t rated at all! I guess you’re being too harsh on him.
Writing is good. But reading teaches you how to write, but that’s totally my personal opinion, you might want to discern.
I told my reason[s] for being insomniac. How about you?
Ahan!The Kite Runner..I remember when I read it(ages ago)..It used to take me to ite own world..i cry again, d air so taut around me when things go wrong,it made me cut loose my pain, my longing..it went beautiful to say the least! Blaah..who am I fooling..u’ve read it already…
I read a review somewhere (dunno if it was on the book’s back cover itself): “It is so powerful that for a long time after, everything I read seemed so bland.” I agreed. And the few books I’ve read after this one made me agree more.
Next time u want a book, try out Hossiene’s “A thousand splendid suns”..It rocks byyg tym..!!
first things about Roadies:Raghu, then, may be Rannvijay..
Secondly, Shambhavi is so yuck!!!
Third, i hate it that Vikrant aint a part of it now..
fourth, I just wish Ashutosh wins..or so are the rumours goin around..
the tasks-yes, the girls- no..they are soo damn bitchy..eekss…
Being an insomniac can b a headache at tyms..u know..ask ‘em who ‘ve been such since their lifetime..ask me..Sigh..
Conratulations on the pay check..
//I guess you’re being too harsh on him.//
Perhaps. I still say he isn’t as mean as people say. I bet I can outwit him in an argument if there isn’t a camera around to unsettle me.
//But reading teaches you how to write//
Exactly why my slackening worries me. I will never grow as a writer if I don’t read enough. And I’m kind of serious about writing so this does not bode well at all. I’m trying to get into a reading routine. Like setting targets and stuff. It isn’t working but I keep trying. ;p
My insomnia is a long story. Till the age of 13 I used to play so much that I could not stay awake after 10. Then got jaundice which meant lots of rest and minimal physical activity. And since my body was used to being dead tired by night, I started having trouble sleeping due to the lack of exercise. And by the time I recovered I got into the habit of staying up till 1 or 2 in the morning. And I haven’t been able to kick the habit yet. Not that I ever really tried in earnest.
i havent read kite runner yet. how sad
@A Nerd Anarch, Bharat:
Reading may invoke us ‘to write’ bt not necessarily teach us hw to write..surely, it aids in writing but still..mch of the great writings r self generated…
@ Bharat Iyer
Just keep on discerning between confidence and overconfidence well, rest everything will fall just in perfect place.
@ Nidhi
What the hell are you waiting for? This is unpardonable
@ the ex-first lady
I’ve many things to say to you. Let’s start by this- why am I not supposed to read your blog anymore? :-X
Ah no. I meant to say sometimes you are pleasantly surprised. I thought HP was crap initially, without having read it. Now I have my own Potter blog, and am generally the hugest fan you’ll ever find.
@the ex first lady
Either God has really got head over heals into the business of creating coincidences, or you just copied from my comment here
! I find both cases amusing
@ A Nerd Anarch
Did you watch the movie too? I found it bland in comparison to the book.. which is, I guess, a general case with the adaptations.
