Roobaroo...........

Saw Rang De Basanti over the weekend. A fine script, great screenplay, brilliant acting, amazing camerawork..blah blah...

But one thing that really stood out was the DIRECTION. An absolutely new (atleast for me) concept of story telling. Use of metaphors, parallel stories in different time periods and an excellent climax just makes this movie experience unforgettable. It was fascinating how each protagonist starts portraying two different characters belonging to different eras, but as the movies progresses, slowly, start merging into one. One must see it to believe it!!

P.s. : Roobaroo just took the honors of being My Favorite Song. (atleast one of my favorite)

Driving Lesson-I

Sat on the driver's seat after a looong time.......

Yes, I am a 22 year old and i still got drivophobia. And I am just partly to be blamed. For the remainder, I blame

• The damn surd who beat me when I banged his car. That was a time when I didnt suffer from the above disease, had just got my license, and I think I was a better driver back then. Lost all my confidence, cos of that incident.
• Mumbai roads...Bloody, one has to stop and restart more times than you actually drive.
• Clutches!!...I just cant start my car from first gear without its share of jerks and stops....And this happens on open roads....I dread the day when I get stuck in traffic. (Needless to say, the traffic would have been caused due to my great driving neways)...

Went out with dad to resume my driving lessons, suspended 8 months back.... As usual, on the open back-road where I wanted to zoom at 90k, dad kept making stop and restart the car from first gear....And I did just that...stop...start...jerk....stop...start again...jerk...stop.....start once again...drive for 2 min...dad yells stop.....urgghhhhh...(Just when I had successfully picked up the car from first gear w/o any jerk and wanted to speed away...dad had to butt in..)

P.s:.. Hopefully this series will have many more parts to it...and soon..

Cheers;-)
