3 Idiots

"Gimme some sunshine , gimme some rain
Gimme another chance I wanna grow up once again..."

The lyrics above are from a song in the movie 3 Idiots.They epitomize the message of the movie.
I guess this again one of those flicks which re-defines the attitude of a generation , the last one according to me was Dil Chahta Hai.

I could relate so much with the movie being an engineer myself and how much I struggled during my engineering days with ragging and mechanics...

Its a must watch movie and a must buy for your respective DVD collection ...Aamir Khan and Boman Irani have delivered world class performance...

Bachpan to gaya jawani bhi gayee...ek pal to humein jeene do jeene do...

Allll is welll

A Traveller's Commandments

Just came back from a great trip to New Zealand...thought of penning down some of my travel commandments :-

1. Thou shalt not expect to find things as thou hast them at home,for thou has left home to find things different.
2. Thou shalt not take anything TOO seriously , for a carefree mind is the beginning of a fine holiday.
3. Thou shalt not let other tourists get on thy nerves,for thou art paying out good money to enjoy myself.
4. Remember to take only half the clothes thou thinks thou needs and twice the money.
5. Know at all times where thy passport is,for a person without a passport is a person without a country and identity.
6. Thou shalt not worry , for that he worrieth hath no pleasure - few things are ever fatal.
7. Thou shalt not judge the people of a country by the one person who has given thee trouble.
8. Remember thou art a guest in other lands,and he that treateth his host with respect shall be honoured.
9. When in Rome,thou shalt be prepared to do somewhat as the Romans do.
10. Thou shalt respect the host country's culture,customs and rules with utmost dignity and care.
11. Thou shalt keep away thy from laptop , mobiles and internet cafe's.
12. Thou shalt be always be thankful to thy Almighty for giving thy the opportunity and capacity to plan and enjoy such a holiday.
- Amen
