So, I am in Pune for the break. Basically chilling out, and met a TFI fellow today evening - would write about it during the week. Right now, I am in this cyber cafe, sitting in front of a nice widescreen monitor and voila! I see www.rediff.com as a browser homepage! Pretty neat eh!! Anyways, so whats new on the web?
Firstly I am sure you guys must have read 3-Idiots review by the number 1 movie critic of the online world- Raja Sen on rediff . In case you haven't, do read it and the comments below the same too!
Three Idiots, Two Stars, One Missed Opportunity
The film really tries too hard. A wonderfully endearing character named Millimeter shows off a group of pups, calling the little one Kilobyte and the bigger one Megabyte, and there is a pause before he calls the mother Gigabyte. Sigh. The principal is called Virus. It's an engineering college, get it? And so the jokes groan on, far more obvious than any of us Hiraniphiles would have liked -- even as the dramatic twists and reveals emerge inadvertently funnier than the gags.
Firstly, to all those folks who asked me whats wrong with Mr. Sen for writing such a review of 3-Idiots , I can tell you that I have never once interacted with him during my 8 months @ rediff. But, I have not seen someone being hated so harshly and unanimously on internet, like ever! Does having a loyal 'anti-fan ' community help someone on the net? The jury is yet to pass a verdict on that I guess. Aal izz Well is all I can say on that for now!
Also, I succumbed to peer and friends' pressure and bought 2 States by Chetan Bhagat. Hopefully will finish it quickly and write about it! Adios till then!!
