Sabarish

There are three big movies that I’m really looking forward to -

3. X-Men: The Last Stand. Release Date: May 26, 2006. Loved the first two parts and am hoping the third part is even better.

2. Spider-Man 3. Release Date: May 4, 2007. The new spidey costume looks great and surely this movie should be a great watch!

and finally the big one -

1. Superman Returns. Release Date: June 30, 2006. Finally a new Superman movie after nearly 20 years. R.I.P Christopher Reeves.

Lets hope the movies are all worth the ‘wait and watch’!

It was Sharath’s birthday last week, but he wasn’t in station to treat us. So this weekend we got our treat from him! Ghana, Sunil, Sharath, Ranganath and myself had a great action packed day today!

Ranga, Sunil, Sharath and Ghana

The day started late as usual for me. Sunil called and tried to wake me up at 7 AM, but failed to do so, as I went back to sleep! Finally (after many phone calls and scoldings) I left home at some 11 AM and picked up Ghana, on the way, at MG road. We went to Sunil’s house and picked him up and went to Sharath’s house. Ranga joined us at Sharath’s house and then we all proceeded to this Go-Karting place on Mysore Road, about 5 kms after RV College.

We had good fun karting. The track and karts were awesome. The rate was also reasonable – Rs. 100 for 6 laps. We paid 200 bucks and went for 12 laps.

Me karting!

Sharath and Sunil had booked tickets for Rang De Basanti 4 PM show at Innovative Multiplex in Marathahalli. It was almost 2 PM and we decided it was time to move on to lunch from the karting place, if we wanted to reach the theatre (which was some 40 odd kms away) in time.

Thanks to Ghana’s recommendation, we went to some Rajasthani hotel in Rajarajeshwari Nagar, and had nice parathas. Time was running out and it was well past 3:00 when we left the hotel and we still had a long way to go!

Drove back to Sharath’s house, from where Sharath and Ranga got their bikes. We lost hopes of reaching the mulitplex in time as we only had about 35 minutes for the show to start. After some frustratingly long traffic signals and maniacal driving by me, and touching 120+ kmph in my car, we finally reached the multiplex at around 4:05 PM.

We (Ghana and myself) literally ran from the car park to the theatre, where Ranga, Sunil and Sharath had reached on the bikes. Luckily the show hadn’t started as yet! We bought our cool drinks and settled down for Rang De Basanti.

And, what a movie it was! I really enjoyed the movie. Although the first half was kinda vague and was going too many places at the same time the second half was awesome and what a dramatic climax it had! A great movie, with awesome cinematography and good performances by everyone. Check out two contrasting reviews of the movie here and here.

We returned home after the movie around 8 PM. But it was not the end of my evening. My apartment association was celebrating their annual day and so they had arranged a musical night followed by dinner.

Tomorrow we are planning on going for some concert at Palace grounds, for which Sunil has got the passes!

Spent a nice day yesterday with some of my college friends from NMIT! We were to meet by 10 AM at Garuda Mall and as usual I reached there late, at around 10:50 AM!

We decided to go for a movie (Bluffmaster). The movie was good fun and decent time pass. After the movie we went to the Pit Stop at Garuda Mall for lunch, after which we decided to check out the Scary House attraction. It is this house that we have to walk through and though it was supposed to be very scary, we felt it was more funny than scary. Infact it wasn’t scary at all and was a total waste of money! Next we decided to have some ice-creams and so were back at the Pit Stop! We then checked out Garuda Mall itself and walked about with no purpose apart from just killing time. Soon it was evening and was getting late for some, so we all departed, although we wanted to spend more time together.

It was nice meeting my friends after a long time and we all had a nice time! We will be meeting up again, next weekend, for Rang De Basanti!!
