Ride through BIT Mesra

Nostalgic to say the least- especially on the road to Outer Canteen. This video comes up 3rd on youtube when searching for BIT Mesra.

Movie Mania (Again)

Hullo ppl...
I just spent three absolutely freaking days (and nights) on campus...
No work, no respite from the rain, as well as the insects...
So, I sat down with a TROLL to watch a few movies... thought I might share my views...

Let's tackle the summer releases (sequels - all) first:
Spiderman 3
There's nothing in this movie except some spectacular stunts...
No story.. No drama.. fultoo timepass for those who have pickled their brains in a jar...

Shrek 3
I closed Windows Media Player before the 20th minute... And this, from a hardcore Shrek fan...
Somehow, no sequel should've been made after shrek 2... though those flying donk-dragons did make for a delightful sight...

Pirates of the Carribean - At World's end
WHOA!!!
Caought me by a storm.. Keira Knightly behaves every bit of her babe-without-brains part with elan.. though where exactly she looked like a babe, is a complete mystery...
And she looks to lay every second guy she meets, at least she does make a move on James Norrington, a stupid git of a Brit (come to think of it, most Brits ARE gits), Captain Jack Sparrow (this guy, having learnt his lesson, firmly pulls back and says,'Please.. Once was enough..') and strikes gold with her equally retarded mate-Orlando Bloom...
The movie is so full of double crosses, that you lose track of when which character is double crossing whom and for what reason...
sometimes you're left wondering-What the HELL is going on?
And in the end, all you remember is how Johny Depp carried off the entire movie on his own...
Truly, without him, this probably would've been worse off than Spiderman 3..
Peanuts strung all over his hair.. licking his own brain.. the Black Pearl teming with scores of Jack Sparrow(s).. trying to turn over the ship.. fainting at the sight of a crab.. phoow
The list of his antics just go on..
He's the life of the movie..
If you ain't watched this movie.. you're missing something...

The Sentinel
Another Michael Douglas flick.. typical CIA, SIS, SSA stuff.. He's framed and he comes clean at the end.. End of story.
But the movie's been shot well, drama's good, action's not overdone.. all-in-all a good experience..

Perfume-The Story of a Murderer
This one was strange..
Some poor orphan, who could detect any kind of smell, except his own... and his ambition was to create that one smell which could make the world fall at it's feet...
Apparently, every perfume is composed of 12 chords(smells).. and when a rare 13th chord is added to it, it's smell gives you a glimpse of paradise n bliss.. now, perfume makers have got those 12 chords, it's the 13th chord that's missing.. and he finally gets it right...
Very unusual story, a bit darkish, gross in parts..
Was a good watch though..

K-Pax
Another WHOA!!
This time, it's the master-Kevin Spacey-who's from outer space, travels at a speed of 6c (yeah.. that c=3,00,000 km/s).. and the whole story revolves around him.. There isn't much happening in ter,ms of a plot/storyline etc.. but the movie was a treat to watch.. simply bcoz the master was at work..

Elektra
Now, I'm not sure what EXACTLY the movie was about.. but there's loads of fighting, myth/legend.. and the babe's DAMN hot.. that makes it a must watch ;)

Stargate
Remember Klits? of the Girl-Next-Door fame?
Well.. he's our hero.. Kurt Russel's just a sidekick..
Apparently some alien landed on earth somewhere around 8000 BC, looking for a life form that could sustain it's soul, and finds the Egyptian kids to be perfect.. and leaves behind a StarGate - a pathway through which intergalactic transfers of children could be made..
So, it is the job of these Secret Service/Military (The movie never makes it clear who they are) people send a recon mission to take back any humans from the 'other' galaxy.. the movie's complete science fiction.. too far-fetched.. and there are no subtitles for the foreign language (ancient Egyptian)..
So, there you go..
If you got absolutely nothing to go with your afternoon meal, you could consider eating alone rather than watching this movie..

Catch ya guys later...
-ONE
Hold on to your dreams
Do not let them die
We are helpless without them
Birds that cannot fly
