Thoughts of a semi-nerd

According to me, a movie should make us think, laugh or cry. Here is the list of English movies that made me cry: Cars The Game Plan Black Swan Glory The Pursuit of Happyness Marley and me 300 The Sixth Sense Schindler's List The Fisher King Children of Men Saving Private Ryan The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button Requiem for a Dream I Am Sam The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Cinderella Man Million Dollar Baby Real Steel Forrest Gump Enemy at the Gates The girl with the dragon tattoo The greatest game ever played I hope these movies give you the same feeling as it did to me. :) The above list can be accessed in  imdb as well.

What you think is always right until you tell it to someone. I better myself by the minute. To understand is wisdom; to be understood is divine. With love, you defeat death. Faith in love is the beginning of wisdom. To love thyself more, go to gym. Yesterday's workout is today's pain; today's pain is tomorrow's gain. Slow and steady only completes the race, doesn't win it ! Stand up, get your ass kicked and be proud or be smart, save your ass and live a normal life.

I have been thinking for over 10 minutes just for the title of this post and still yet to find the apt one. Just the thought of him gives me a wide smile. I have not met such a genuine person before in my life. I try to be funny without hurting anyone's feelings; but boy, isn't he the best in business. He is funny, well mannered, disciplined, calm and got a great sense of humour. Now, why am I mentioning funny and sense of humour at the same time. Being funny and having good sense of humour are two complete different things - let me tell you how. Anyone can be funny if they have good presence of mind with quick thinking; but good sense of humour is how well one reacts when he/she is made fun of. I am (sometimes) funny, but got not so good sense of humour. My friend on the other hand does not take anything seriously if it is just for fun. He is simply a great guy. Sabaree (right) with me The way he carries himself has earned him respect among his friends and acquaint...

One of my favorite advertisements - the 'Cadbury Dairy Milk' ad that portrays a romantic conversation between a husband and wife. The wife asks her hubby, "when was the last time you said I love you to me" - without saying anything, he gets a dairy milk from the refrigerator and then says "abhi" (now) giving the chocolate to her. At first she doesn't get it and questions him again. As she says "ye tho tum muje roz dhethe.." (this you give me every day), she realises that every time he gives her dairy milk, he tells her "I love you" - he acknowledges with a voluntary blink. WOW !!!!!! Awesome. The ad gives me smile every time I see it. The music in the background is also too good. The advertisement can be seen here. I hope it gives you the same feeling as it did to me.
