Lagaan

Definitely one of the best movies I’ve seen. I heard one of the songs from the movie on radio this morning, and I can’t wait to see the movie again. All the songs are great and all the scenes are just perfect. I remember in the last scene when they have just one ball to go, and Kachra is on strike, everybody in the movie kept saying ‘Kachra maar!’ – I was at home continuously yelling ‘COME ON KACHRAAAA you can do it!!’ I’ve watched the movie a million times but I still get goosebumps in the last scene when the Indian commentator yells “hum jeet gaye!”. I know all the songs and dialogues by heart, alongwith the weird hindi accents the foreign actors had. Teen Guna Lagaan.

Every time they get the extra ball (“No Bawl!”) I subconsciously start praying for Aamir Khan. Sobia kind of ruined the movie for us the first time we saw it – she kept saying Shahrukh Khan had a guest appearance, and he would save the day at the end of the movie. Since she’s such an expert liar, we believed her. But then I was so engrossed at the end I didn’t even remember what she had said. And seriously sobia, it wasn’t even funny. What was funny was when we told the same story to our cousins. We kept running to the tv and pointing out the different ways and places srk would make his entry from and they would just follow our fingers everytime. Talk about naive.

P.s. I posted the Kachra maar and No Bawl dialogues from memory before I found the video on youtube. Trust me I really do know the whole movie by heart.

Happy birthday Imran Khan

I hope I never turn 56.

Owervhelming

In my first year at college, we had a compulsory course called Study Skills – which was the most useless course evvvver. We were supposed to learn how to structure our essays, manage our time and learn the right way to approach every question for the finals, but what we always ended up doing was basic grammar! I normally don’t ever miss class, but for god’s sake of course I’m not coming all the way to Knowledge Village for a one hour session on Pronouns! This is probably the only course where I don’t have 100% attendance.

Yeah so in one of the classes we attended, our professor asked each of us to say the word ‘Overwhelming’ out loud. All of us did. She pointed at me and said ooh good you have all your v’s and w’s right. I was like okkkkk one more thing to add to my ammazing-ness.

Ever since then, I’ve started paying a little too much to my perfect v’s and w’s and guess what? I get them wrong every single time!!

Q. So ven is the vedding?

A. Nowember.

The vitch jinxed me.

My New Favorite Song

I <3 cheap songs

Hamzi the Traitor Quote

Aisha: Yay! Pakistan will win. We will kill India.
Hamzo: India will win!
Aisha: You traitor! How can you say that?!
Hamzo: Because I’m Indian.
Aisha: No you’re not. You’re not even Pakistani!
Hamzo: No really I’m an Indian. A long time ago, Mummy came to me and whispered in my ear “Don’t tell anyone, but you’re Indian”

Bird Flu

I like the Ice age, Fakhir and Panadol references.

My favorite part:

DA: Is it true that the bird flu is in Pakistan?

Dr: Yes

DA: How can we send it to India?

Definitely something I would suggest.

Update: The New Clock Tower

I don’t know if anyone noticed, but for the last couple of days, all four faces of the Clock Tower at Deira have been showing different times – and yesterday, they changed the clocks. Even though the new ones are Omega, I don’t liek them at all. They’re too gaudy, even by my standards.

Update: Apparently, Omega have a 3 year contract AED 750,000 with Dubai Municipality.

The new clocks have roman numerals instead of Arabic. Not cool.
