CLASSIC HOURS

Long since I wrote a post...its been start of my blogging career and am wondering sitting in my hostel room what to write when exams are around the corner and your mind stops working anything out since it already has so much shit inside...And when u have nothing to write about, best thing anyone can do is become a film critic...not the sterotypes one which go on carping about the movie as if the director had commited the biggest mistake of his life by making it...Anyways let me tell u about this movie I watched few hours ago named CLASSIC with sachin, abhi and suri...Its an out and out korean film directed by kwak jae yong,yup the same bloke who directed sassy girl (might sound like a film analyst now, but bear with me for few lines) starring Son-yeh Jin and Cho Seung-woo. Well no points for guessing which of these are the actor and actress. Even we couldn’t figure that out until the out when we eagerly waited for the titles. But to our dismay that too came in Korean.Though the movie is a must see for those romantic love buds. For girls, carrying a napkin or tissue might be advisable. Admit it or not no guy likes a peevy whiny partner.
Story is set in South Korea starting with a gal named chi-hye, ya that’s her name, reminiscing about her mother’s past and the love of her life. Film goes into flashback showing love story between chi hye’s mother and her love named Chun-ha (in the film u might hear as it being pronunced as Jun-ha supposedly mistaken for a guy coming from junhagadh). And like all aamchi bollywood films theres a twist with the girl being already affianced to Chun-ha best friend Tae-su.Flashback runs in parallel with the protagonist’s own love triangle with guy named sang-min and her friend.And as all this turmoil unruffles in second half, u get what many term as “ And they lived happily ever after ending”. If u thought we would end then, listen to this. As we started discussing about a scene in the movie where the hero tries to capture a firefly from the bushes for his love and nature’s beauty suddenly corroborates their union with its mesmerising colours and play, we ponder upon the possibility of finding a local firefly (jugnu) in our very own gwalior or bhopal and reached a conclusion that if not for the jugnu, option of finding mosquitos though not coloured is much better. Imagine a romantic night with moon and stars out and two lovers engaged in their activity of catchin (read squashing) mosquitos with the one turning out with maximum signifying his/her greater love for the other. Or how about the ideaof taking a fly (makkhi) and attaching a led to it for that luminescent glow of a firefly. Maybe I should have taken up this idea for my minor project for this semester. Before anyone patents it , I better run ahead while u people concentrate on your tasks instead of listening to my no-sense talk……

How to live like a prince on the budget of a pauper??
Alpha to Charlie…………
Charlie: Charlie on line sir.
Alpha: Operation here has been brought to standstill. Send immediate cash replacements...
Charlie: Sorry sir, we have run out of our cash supplies.
Alpha: but, how could this possibly be, hello……...hello? are u on line ?
Voice from phone: Line you have been calling has been permanently disconnected …

If this situation prevails at war field, position back home ain’t any surreal and trivial. How often have we longed for an access-all-things pass, but got stranded due to unavailability of sufficient cash .
The portrait of an average college goer that strikes your mind foremost – fun loving, little lazy, dexterous, well dressed, and kanjoos fellow. Yes you heard the last one right, behind all the glitz and glamour lies a stingy and perennially out-of-cash sort of person. ‘Bindaas masti’ seems to be leitmotif of these hell raisers. You may be the boy or girl with the golden spoon at your home, but when it comes down to college, even the kingpins taste the dust. For this is the place where the probability of finding cash on your hands is equivalent to that of finding water in Rajesthan, snowfall in Kerela or a multiplex in Bhopal. Behind the flamboyancy, a strategic mind is at work, which formulates all the possibilities of his surviving the ordeal. Their strategies can earn them respect even from management gurus. Who says u can learn only by paying handsome cash in somebody’s hand?

Children – don’t try this at home ’’
I profess: - “The Maximum Fun with Minimum Cash Funda”As I jog my mind to recount some of the experiences, I put through some of them to provide you maximum fun @ minimum reading.
Born to be free – This ain’t freedom from old prejudices, rules and regulations. It’s ‘Free’dom of a different kind. The hunt is for free coupon, contest prizes, sales and discounts, buy one take one free offers that have tsunamised every sector of commercial business. Opportunity to bring home some cash never get “ambanished”, (new lingo for diminished!!).
Preference to eat in the canteen, be it the night one or the ‘self proclaimed’ 24/7 college canteen, than in a elite restaurant, signifies attitude towards cost cutting method of foods. That is why a samosa or a bhel may sell better then a domino pizza or a Mac combo.Gen –y (yuppie generation) also wears this attitude on the sleeve of their local brands. Local, cheap, florid outfits (some of them do actually bear the Nike, Reebok logo) are excused by saying “I am an Indian”. Surprising how patriotism is the best excuse to save up on some cash.
The one that takes the cake are two rituals widely practiced by all and sundry. I call them the “treat bait” and “debt spree”.First one involves coaxing somebody out of his cash for no particular reason. Giving treats to each other for not making it to the black list is a common syndrome in the college campus. Insiders have revealed that bidding is also done on which guy gets the cutest gal of the tinsel campus and who comes out with the maximum proctors in his baggie.Debt spree is made for the canteen wallahs and local diminutive outlets. Do remember “Sharma ji hai Na.” And the idea of democracy, “ for the students, by the students and of the students” rules the roost. (For further confirmation ‘ask’ your local mata mandir vendors).
4. Talking money – I say this because money does talk in the hands of people who appear to have walked straight from the La-La land with as varied models of cell phones as are the spicy remixes in the market. Missed calls and sms serve to give a better mileage, landline or cell-to-cell calls being passé. The advent of missed calls repackages miscommunication as potent form of communication. Each has their own blueprint for decoding the calls. A single missed call may indicate that a person needs to be called back, a double may serve as an indication of a emergency crisis, or a “GT” break, an option which many of my batch mates use to perfection. Speakers that hit the wall with latest music and deafening noise are the call of hour. They seem to take a leaf out of idea’s new slogan “ bada hai to behtar hai”.
Robinhoods of Modern Era – These are the show ponies who survive the wreath of spending money by pulling out indigenous ideas. Traveling in general classes of train, using expired railway and bus passes, sitting for hours at a restaurant sharing only a soft drink, bouncing cheques, seeking out the shortest routes between places to save bike fuel, are few of the many to name. Cometh the advent of birthdays, cometh the time where a person pays a huge ransom for him taking a plunge into this world. Giving low priced gifts, then justifying with the theory that “ It’s the feeling that matters”, rubs salt to his injury!
Whatever students may do, your very own mess may never disappoint you to take your daily shot at pockets. Food festivals or festive weddings are always an instant hit with the masses, but are quite seasonal, much to their chagrin.
On a more serious note, I would like to say life is a series of accidents waiting to happen, with an occasional thing that will bring a smile to your face and a bit of respite(like this article).Without showcasing any more of my idiosyncrasy, I would like to end with a Metallica song that personifies my article“Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don't just say And nothing else matters”
