Bollywood Rocks: And Salman is one of it...

Movies, some see them to spend 3 hrs in an air-conditioned hall.

Some are followers of a superstar and the make sure to fix an appointment as soon a new movie is screening.

Some wanted to see movie just to make sure they are cut out from outer-world and able to laugh / grim / frown / shed tears, as times certain movies overpower or possess you so much that you feel you are not sitting in a movie hall rather you are part of the movie and you are witnessing...

I am a big movie bluff... (Still I do not qualify for a walking encyclopedia) I do not follow any particular super-star; I like most of them...

Moreover, trust me if you are to ask for rating from me, in that case I will not be critic but I would go ga-ga on most of the movie... Most of the time  I  like  the movie... I end up giving ***** / **** (that’s 5 / 4 stars, and not anything starting with F… lol)

This week it was, Police officer Chulbul (Robin Hood) Panday 'Salman Khan' who made sure that all have their share of laughter attacks...

Watching Bollywood movie in itself an art, in most cases you should not try to be a Director / Songwriter / Scriptwriter. One should let go those thought processes and just laugh on all small gags....

Salman has his own acting & dancing style which is hard to copy and would be near impossible to achieve, I am not being sarcastic I really mean it....

Few scenes or style I loved

- The way he keep his Ray-Ban 'hanging back of this collar' I bet many would have already started that trend

- Few of the dialogue were just amazing like the last one, if you have watches the movie you would remember

If you are to compare Hollywood movies can not match in away way... As each movie of our will have Romance / Songs / Family values / crying Mom / and Action (that to gravity defying - Newton would not have survived)

In one particular action scene from 'Dabangg' Salman perfects ‘Neo's in Matrix’ bullet dodging but here he dodges sharp glass pieces and continues and perfects 'Jason Statham - Transporter' action where he spills oil on himself and trashes bad guys

For the love of movies i will always patronize Hindi masala movie.....

Long Weekend... As it went...

The weekend as passed by:

Everyone welcome a nice long weekend once in a while... As I am not any different I would love to see one long weekend every months that I required as once in a while you required to unwind and be lazy or be supercharged and have a travel freak weekend...

We happen to do the other option and started planning for the Sept 4 long weekend some 3 weeks in advanced a we did not wanted to spend hours and hours lazy in my bed, at time a nocturnal person to would love long long sleep...

So in three days we did loads of activities some to mention as:

- Drove 1100 miles (1700+ km) in-spite of having a brand new license i did not drive a feet :-0 'lazy'

- Travelled across 4 state (including the one where we live)

- Visited Luray Caverns, famous for Stalagmite & Stalactites

- Un-Solved a nice Garden Maze in 75mins that kids take 45mins as we made sure to take pictures in each corner :-0

- Did Para-Sailing it's an amazing experience

- Visited Virginia Beach happen to have splendid weather that helped

- Drove through a amazing engineering marvel 'Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel’ that’s across Atlantic Oceans a spans close to 17miles (30+ km)

Some photos to support what a nice weekend that we had....

Luray Caverns: Image Reflection: Its hard to believe the perfect reflection, and water depth is between 4-6inches.
First of all you feel its not a reflection and then if so the water is of much more depth 

Garden Maze: I never though that garden maze would be such amazing fun, as we took more then as hr. to find our way out.

Sky-line from hotel @ Portsmoth: I was talking on phone and strolling on boardwalk, could not resist get my camera and talk this amazing sky-line view specially the reflection it had on water was just amazing

Para-Sailing @ Virginia Beach: let me help you all spot, the tiny spot you see that our parachute, we are at 1200ft away, and the view from that height is breathtaking

A small break from Office

A much needed small Vacation break:

Last month and a half had been real hectic in office... As we have a major project roll out due in next two weeks... We have been spending long hours in office and gazing the application under test and were making sure that we are not left out with some edge case that will come back and haunt us!!!!

Best we can is take precaution and watch what happen in next two week time... 

This weekend happen to the last long weekend of the summer and we all re headed as our compass point (the special one from Jack Sparrow, that help find what you want the most) in our case the compass pointed us to Virginia Beach, so time to spend under sun and on silver sand....

So its time to say audios office and enjoy next 3 days to the fullest....

Will post more details as how the mini vacation have been... 

Watch out as Mr Arnold I Terminator says 'I will be back'

Dinner Time: Good Bye Time....

Last night; we friends been to dinner... Every dinner or any kind of party is always welcome to any one of us, but this one was a bit special, as one of our friend who happens to be our colleague was traveling back home (India).

So not as things always go as planned we left from office and were looking out to shop for the coming long weekend as few time it happen we ended up retuning empty... And by the we decide to visit 'Hard Rock Cafe' we all wanted to visit this place since long time and today was it.

And ahhhh as all place have a huge waiting time this to had 45min but we still waited to get seated

One bad thing at any new place you u happen to try would be the find any vegetarian appraiser / entree on the menu card but this place was option in that way as they had penalty listed a 'Veg' which is great..

All the chit chat that we had revolved mostly on the activities or the nice moments we all had... We all echoed to one point that time flies and 5 months is a long time as per Georgian calendar but felt other ways...

Hard Rock Cafe has a nice marketing stunt, while your turn arrives after all wait time they will make you get a group photo with a background that has 100's of guitars sliced into half and embedded on the wall. In addition, as u are enjoying your dinner you will be getting 2 large album photos 2 wallet photos 1 magnet and 1 keychain which you will love to have ad we have that...

One happy Moment captured, until we all meet next....
