Ab Bhi Jiska Khoon Na Khaula, Voh Khoon Nahin Voh Paani Hai

Jo Des Ke Kaam Na Aaye, Voh Bekaar Jawaani Hai
Sunday evening, nothing to do, feeling sad about the Monday morning already. Fir wohi jacket pehno, gaadi nikalo, office jao......chalo lets watch a movie.
Agar india mein hote to reviews search marne ki fight nahi hoti, coz one of my friends would have already watched the movie in question. Lekin yahan pe its different, so after a lot of review searching we narrowed doen to Malaamal Weekly, not that we had many options. So chalo Regal cinemas, much different that apna bombay ka Regal. We reached there and saw RdB on the show list. Choice was obvious RdB for the second time. This movie is too good, its a combination of DCH and Yuva (both are my favourites). I just love the story the direction, the concept, in one word everything.
I love the song Roobaroo, its the best of all.
"abhi abhi huaa yaqeen ki aag hai mujh mein kahi"
"aandhiyon se jaghad rahi hai lau meri ab mashaalon si bhad rahi hai lau meri"
I just wish they would have made this movie a couple of years back, maybe then i would be interested in history much more than what i use to be in those days.

Sunday - Pav bhaji

You can take a man out of Mumbai, but you cannot take Mumbai out of a man.
No ofcourse not, these arent my words. I read them in an article by Jerry Pinto. He use to write earlier in Bombay times. There are so many things that you just cant let go of. Mumbai is the best city to live in, trust me, coz i have never lived anywhere else in India ;)
But if you live in mumbai for a while you are sure to fall in love with it. This city breathes a lot of pollution (pun intended), but when the heavens break loose all the water in the world on this city, thats when you start believeing that this city never sleeps, or even doze off for a moment.

Ok but now thats not the reason why started with this post. As always wanted to show off some of my talents ;)
I had been talking about making pav bhaji since the day i arrived in USA. Ashu, vishal and ajay ke to kaan hi pak gaye the sun sun ke. So i thought that i better cook it or else they will kick me out of the house.
All we do here is a team effort but i guess my roomies wont mind if i take the credit for this one. It was the first time that i cooked pav bhaji all on my own, only cook, vishal washed the vishals. I really thought that we didnt need mirrors with vishal by our side. Ajay and ashutosh cut the vegetables.
I am not going to bore you with the receipe out here, for that you can call my mom, thats where i learned all my cooking from. Thanks mom!! Waise my dad is a good cook too, so i guess its in the genes.
I wish you could have been here to taste it but koi gal nahi, you can drool over the pics ;)

LA Fitness

Yep thats the name of my new gym. When you wanna relieve your head from all the stress, start stressing your body!!
I guess I could post in a pic of me now and then a couple of months post another pic of myself, but then whats the use I will still continue looking darn good anyways ;)
I dont have any pics to post of my new gym, but I will get them soon. If I were to join such a gym in India it would be burning a hole thru me (not just my pocket). I gotta say the facility is awesome!!!
Dont believe me now, wait until I post the pictures.

Pulao bole to..

I miss India a lot, or rather Bomday a lot. I miss the late night drives to Irla for pav bhaji, tawa pulao, bhurji and masala omlet. Koi gal nahi, its just a matter of time that I will once again be able to enjoy all of these. Jitu, prassu, shriku, situ, vinnu, tannu, gauri, jadu all of you and many more have accompanied me to this place. Bhailog I really miss all of you.
So you think I am getting all senti about missing you guys, yeh in a way thats true but the major reason is to display my talent as a cook. I tried my hand at cooking pulao, yeah i have done it before with not so bad results but this time it came out to be real good so I couldn't help it but post it on the net.
Recipe:
Fry two chopped onions, once the onions are little brown, add some chopped tomatoes to it. Then other chopped vegetables and fry them for a couple of minutes. Then add the Everest pulao masala, salt and then mix the rice to it and pour water and let the pressure cooker blow 3 whistles.

Note: Try out the recipe at your own risk ;)

Let the games begin!!

Hey its been in my blood, on my mind, in my soul and all around me!!
Yep video games, thats what I am talking about ;).
How can you call yourself a game aficionado if you dont have the essentials.
So what was I missing, ok let me list it down for you.
1. I own a gaming PC (not the best but good enough)
2. I own an N-gage
3. I own an Alienware notebook
and now the latest addition to my list....
4. I own a PS2!!!

Yeah a proud owner of PS2.
It doesnt come along with a packaged game DVD so I had to buy one for sure. Out of all the options I had I chose GTA:San Andreas.
I know there are zillions of pictures of PS2 over the net but i had to put in a couple of my own over the net.
Har khushi ke baad ek gum hot hai, its only when I wanted to save my progress in the game did I realize that I dont have a PS2 memory card. But every problem has a solution, I am gonna buy one for myself !!
