CLARIFICATIONS:: U DIDNT OWE ANY ONE A JUSTIFICATION!!!

DUDE...

I still find it hard to believe that after going thru all the pain n anguish, you gave a CLARIFICATION...

as far as i think u didnt owe any one a justification in the first place... Just coz ur relationship hit the rocks... it was ur personal affair man... N every man deserves his personal space...

So many men have penned down gr8 literature, raise structures , done deeds as a tribute to their that special someone...

But in your case just coz things didnt work out right n things had to come to such a heart wrenching n love-crushing halt...

It was your literary genius (i was rather taken aback wen u actually wrote it... never that u cld though) n as u said the inspiration which led to u to pen down that master piece...

but still man... whether sent to rehab or not... u didnt owe any one a rats ass explanation or justification as to why u shld not take off the dedication...

At that point in time she deserved it... and some where deep down in ur heart even you know it that she still deserve's it... (known u for quite a long while now to read that thru ur mind)...

but still dude... "Chote... yeh ladki hai na... "... get ur sense straight n understand who's gotta be taken seriously n ...

ur smart enuf to get the underlined meaning...


But in the end its ur call!!!

However I'd still say brother...

U DIDN'T OW ANY ONE A F'CKING JUSTIFICATION!!!




N.B. : a reply to the CLARIFICATIONS given...

A WEDNESDAY IN MUMBAI "MERI JAAN"

They did it on a Friday! Repeated on Tuesday ! I'm just Replying on a Wednesday!

This face paced action flick may have brought to light the attacks on Amchi Mumbai...

But is this the right and only way to get back to these savage beasts who tear apart lives of innocent, rip apart homes. We start to wonder when this onsaulght will stop... Each passing day the wife/mother/sister is not sure whether her hubby/child/brother will come back home alive...

today we walk our roads with the sword of death looming over our heads, who knows who's number its next...

but what was portrayed in A Wednesday ... was it the only way to fight back, to attain justice...
the question is how long will Mumbai just keep mum on these salvaging attacks...

Mumbai Meri Jaan the slow flick was the one which highlighted something which has been the best ever answer to the question of how to fight back --the never dying n never ending spirit of MUMBAI...

be the riots, the Blasts, the 26th july floods after a couple of days of chaos everything is back to square one just as it was before...

MUMBAI ~~~ the people of mumbai the bade dilwale ~~~ have some how mastered to walk back out of such situations. Those who lost their near n dear ones, only they can understand the pain of such situations but still they muster the courage to get up and walk up front ...

I'd say the biggest slap in the FACE of the perpetrators is the people of Mumbai getting up and walking back as though everything was normal...

The unbreakable-never dying-never ending-Mumbaiya spirit is the best answer given!

YEH HAI MUMBAI MERI JAAN ... YEH HAI MUMBAI MERI JAAN...

ROCK ON !!! was it a DCH part 2???

never have i seen any movie in the theater more than once par ROCK ON was different...

Farhan: One helluva performance... Probably the second actor after Himesh Reshamiya who sang n acted his debut film ... but Farhan's performance as an actor n singer --- par excellance...

Arjun : His Journey from Moksha to ROCK ON has been inspiring... with so many flops in his bag n his stone faced expressions (expressionless in most of his performances) ROCK ON i would say was a resounding his best after Aankhein where he played one of the 3 blind puppets stringed by the Big B...

Luke : has strived hard to catch up with the performance of the rest of the crew and has managed to some extent...

Purab : Killer Drummer -- he was the life line of MAGIK ... his jokes , silly comments n spritley attitude add the jazz and the punch to the movie...

the ladies were in their own class... Prachi : embarking on her journey in Bolly wood with a cute n sweet performance...

Sahana Goswami : Blunt , ruthless, bold perfectly essayed the role of a Pawwali chick..

Koel Purie : charmin n dashing and gorgeous as always....


the star cast n story line pretty analogous to DCH

group of frnds -- getting entangled in a fight which leads to each of them walkin their way...

purab bein saif, arjun bein akshay , farhan --- aamir...

but wait...

Both these Movies though on similar lines... have definitely many different things to offer...

Rock On!!! was like a bench mark for the youth that its neva too late to chase your dreams...

you may be 35+ but still its your mind that holds you from doing things you always wanted...

Rightfully Answered by Koel Purie , "yeh peecha tab chodenge jab tum bhagna band kar doge..."

many a times we run away turn down/suppress our thought/ feelings/ desires and the reason log kya sochenge...

if you know you have the potential in you and you can do it Rise up n live your life to the fullest...

Iss Zindagi mein jo chaha woh na kiya toh kya kiya; har pal ko jeele agar to dil bhar diya...


Rock On!~!! keep Rockin ON!!!
