Hail, Aamir Khan !
Hail O' Lord, for transcending boundaries, which the ordinary mortals cant even dream to cross, let alone actually doing it. Thank u for providing us with 3 Idiots...watching it was like watching bits n pieces of our life on screen !
In the Lord's very own typical style, there are 2 kinds of movies. The 1st r those run-of-themill usual lot, which run into oblivion even before they hit the stage. An then there r movies like 3 Idiots, which greet u like a breath of fresh air, and hit u with its simple yet breathtaking approach towards meaningful and contributing cinema, and at the end of 3 hrs of madness, all u r left with is wanting for more.
I am actually findin myself short on words to describe this wonderful film. All the necessary ingredients which makes for a perfect movie r here-amazing storyline, wonderful performances with awesome comic moments(the speech in praise of the college Dean had everyone in the moviehall in splits !! imagine balatkar for chamatkar !!!), great music, story twists with perfect timing etc.
Sharman Joshi and Madhavan give credible performances in their well defined roles. Kareena looks lovely in the bespectacled look, and has an effect of rose petals whenever she comes on screen (notice the new found glow on her face!). Boman Irani plays the role of the virus (watch the movie for the secret behind the name ) to perfection, as the supporting starcast does well.
But the entire show rund behind one man- Aamir Khan. Its absolutely inconceivable to think of any other actor(even Hrithik Roshan for that matter ) who could played this role better. Aamir fits into the character effortlessly, making us laugh n cry in his own inimitable style. The movie gets a new lease of life each time he comes on screen.
Please watch 3 IDIOTS ..n make ur Christmas as special as it can get !!
till then .....o bhaiiya .......ALL IZZ wellllllllllllllllllll !!!

The gap continues to widen...
well well ...
almost 2 months...m i tat busy ??
ya i know i ve a thousand alibis...like CA Finals...B school exams(since wen did i start studyin for those...in any case..gettin marks in a b school exam is inversely proportional to the amount os study one does )....my internet addiction...add to tat the facebook games(wat a time killer tey r ....n complete stupidity if u think bout it ).
On a serious note, after the CA exams were over, i tried to do some self realisation. I tried to think what ve i achieved in now almost completed MBA stint of mine. and as a complete shock, i realised that i vent gained much out of it, except the fact that may be i think on a more systematic n organised way. But thats hardly a reason to justify 2 yrs of hand to mouth existence in a b school.
Perhaps, I m still in search of that 1 thing which would give me the happiness that i crave for.
After tryin out so many things n adventures in life, i come back to the same center of desparation n at times, frustration. What exactly is the thing that would make my smile n say, this is wat i like.
i believe this is wat life is...the constant search of the Holy Grail of happiness !
My belief bout myself being the sould dissatisfied soul has certainly vanished. I can definitely sense the feeling of sadness around me, for example in my fellow B schoolers. Most of em ve put a facade on themselves, tryin to portray to the world what the world wants em to perceieve as, n not wat tey actually r. Cruel and true irony of mankind !
Amongst all tis madness, there is tat distant light of hope. I dont knoe where it comes from, but its the power behind the daily struggles of not only me, but everyone around. Its the light of hope, that one day things would turn around in our favour. Its the light of the human indomitable spirit, the will to fight, to surive, and to win.
and BY GOD, I shall overcome, SOME DAY !!
AMEN !

at Delhi Airport....
its quite rare in the life of a b schooler..tat he/she gets a full 3 hr of bliss at disposal....n it is in times like these tat i get hooked to my blog...
life is gettin increasingly busy....n if i look back n introspect...i ve a nasty feelin tat much of the so called busy time is wasted in fruitless activities....so despite havin a 5 hr sleep time everyday...i find myself being unable to manage my everyday schedule...most of wat i plan goes unfulfilled...
the best part about me is the undyin, unrelentin fighter inside me....so no matter how much obstacles the world throws at me...after some initial hiccups..i come back with a bang...i sincerely pray of doin the same this time as welll !!
the next few months r probably the most crucila of my life...with 2 important events comin up...
the next time i would blog is probably at end november....n dont be surprised if u find a sudden spring in my writin skills ....reaons would b shared ten !!
GOD bless and good bye !!

My eccentricities...
i understand tat i m quite erratic in the frequencies in which i update my blog.....n i completely owe responsibility for the same...
its quite a lame alibi tat i dont find 15 mins in a day to connect to tis part of my world....somehow i ve made the goin so tough for myself, tat i find myself fallin deeper into the never endin abyss tat i ve created !!
I m nt the sole person in tis world who has his shoulders heavy with responsibilities, nor i m carryin the same of others. Whatver i m doin is for my own good. And yet, i found myself lackin on the essential qualities required for success, dedication and commitment. No matter how much i motivate myself to commit to a task, i loose the enthusiasm to carry on quite early into the task. The result often is wasted efforts and most importantly, time.
I suffer from a typical problem. I know the solutions to my problems, and yet I m unable to tackle them. Tis has been an age old issue with me, n i ve nt been able to crack tis riddle. I ve done gross injustice to my potential, n at tis stage of life, where I ve an enormous task at hand (in terms of academic excellence), I m actually prayin for some divine intervention to help me achieve my task. tis might sound lame, but tats the way it is.
I dont wanna sound like a looser, but at the end i wouldnt like to shell excuses for my failures. I wish someone out there would give me enough motivation to give at least a decent shot at my goal. I dont want any regrets in my life !!!
My sincere apologies if tis post spread negative vibes amongst the readers !!
Warm regards

Blogging Vs. Tweeting
I have become quite addicted to twitter these days...to the extent that i am unable to find time for blogging. On the other hand, I m on twitter (@abhayagarwal) on an average 4 hrs daily. Its an astonishing number, and i can in no way consider myself to be one of the most active users on twitter. The simple fact is that i find people tweeting almost everytime when i log in the network.
Such addiction levels have never been heard of before, not even when google became a hit with the masses.
The question really becomes which is better: blogging or tweeting. I would say both are hotspots, and in the future none can do without the other. Microsoft's search engine, Bing, even has something to offer in cooperation with twitter(check: www.bingtweets.com). both have their respective gods who are followed like crazy by all n sundry. the idea is to have the benefits of both the worlds. However, tweeting enjoyes a certain edge in the current scenario, being the latest hostpot.
The best advantage of twitter is its speed. A research suggested that twitter has a 15 min airtime advantage over biggies such as CNN News n BBC. Now 15 minutes is an advantage beyong imagination. This was proved in the twitter coverage of recent international news such as the unfortunate death of Micheal Jackson. Without doubt twitter is the flavour of the season.
P.S. This article should in no way be considered as my alibi for being so irregular in blogging :)

The new World T20 Champs:Pakistan
Today pakistan beat sri lanka by eight wickets in a battle of two asian cricket powerhouses, to lift the ICC World T20 championship. This is pakistan's first world cup trophy in any format in 17 yrs, the last bein their World cup victory in 1992.
Goin through a political turmoil inside the country and their economy on the brink of a collapse, Pakistan made amends of their last yr's defeat in the finals against India. the victory must act as a shot in the arm,after the country's international image took a huge beating with the shootout at the Sri Lankan players, lettin to Pakistan being debarred from hosting the next World Cup matches in the sub continent( along with India, Sri Lanks and Bangladesh).
It was once again Shahid Afridi, man of the match in the semi finals against South Africa, whose all round show with the bat n ball, swung the contest in Pakistan's favour, earning him another well deserved man of the match award. He has probably the player who has done most injustice to his talent in the cricket world, and it was nice to see him regain his touch with the bat(and he has been the most useful bowler for Paskistan in the last couple of yrs, apart from Umar Gul).
I have always felt tat Afridi is potent wen he bats up the order, n its nice to see him regainin his confidence in battin up the order.
heres hoping tat tis victory would sooth the war-torn population of the country to a small extent,
and give tem some reason to be happy !! After all, cricket aims to promote unity and harmony in the world !
Many congratulations, Pakistan !
