Firstly, Happy Independence Day! I’ve been sick since almost a month and have been fighting a battle against jaundice and follicular tonsillitis and more with myself. Myself because I’ve been bored to death and all I did all these days was watch TV, meet people who came to see me because I was sick, eat boring food or read not more than 30 pages of Shantaram totally which I have been reading since almost 6 months and I still haven’t completed it! What a shame!

   Anyway, since I have been watching a lot of TV in these 3-4 sick weeks, I watched a lot of reality shows and in those I saw Ranbir Kapoor. This lanky young man didn’t draw much attention to my eyes when I saw him in Saawariya. I just thought he was a good actor but that’s it. He wasn’t even interviewed much or maybe I just didn’t bother to watch much TV then. But in the past couple of days he’s been on almost every show there could possibly be with the three lead actresses of his movie obviously trying to promote his second film Bachna Ae Haseeno. And trust you me, this guy is something! He’s quite the charmer and he’s not just a boy as I previously thought he was. He’s a man. A charming man who is dating a beautiful girl called Deepika Padukone. I’m really happy for them. Everytime those two came together on stage, they were always asked to dance along and all I could see was the love in his eyes for her. I can say he’s very romantic and I have no doubt when I say that. The promos of the film also looked very interesting and all this TV hype just made me curious to see him act and basically just watch him romance three gorgeous women. So I somehow forced my brother to get the tickets of the movie and I warned him that I wanted the tickets of the first day only.

   Luckily we got the tickets and today we went for the movie; my parents, my brother and me. It’s been really long since I’ve been so excited to watch a movie. But the fact that Ranbir was in it and plus it was another one of those Yash Raj love stories which never fails to make me smile pulled me up on my seat and I was really into the movie. I didn’t get up even once, not even in the interval.

   When I saw Minisha Lamba I thought she would be ok and Ranbir and her love story would be quite kiddish but their story kind of gripped me only because I could completely relate to it. I am just like her in the movie. A dreamer who’s waiting for her Raj (who is a complete charmer and is the most romantic person in the world) from DDLJ to come and sweep her off her feet and have the perfect life and all that. :P Most people would think I’m being foolish and extremely old fashioned but I don’t care.

   The next love story was Bipasha Basu and Ranbir’s. This one was ok. I wouldn’t relate to it but most of  the21st century Indian women (who wouldn’t mind being in a live-in relationship) would. Other than Bipasha looking hot, I thought this was by far her best performance till date and she was a complete bitch in the second half which she played really well. And then came Deepika, Ranbir’s real life girlfriend. I thought her character in the film was the best and a lot of women today would feel proud to see a woman in a Bollywood film playing a role like that since now its all about women’s empowerment. I felt proud and could relate to her character in quite a few ways except for the part when she said she didn’t want to get married. Ranbir was excellent in the film from the beginning till the end, although I liked the way he looked in the first half. I didn’t like the specs or the combed back hair. The messy hair look suits him better. In the second half of the movie I thought he was a better person; more responsible and more mature and truly romantic which was the complete opposite of him in the first half. At the end of the movie I was smiling my widest smile and I know I’m going to watch this movie again… many times for sure. I really really like Ranbir Kapoor and I’m most definitely going to like him for a long time. So about the movie, if you're a mushpot you'll definitely like the movie. Its for those who believe in love.

Khuda jaane ke...main fida hoon...Khuda jaane main mit gaya...Khuda jaane yeh kya hua hai...Ke ban gaye ho tum mere khuda...

Now the question is… When will I meet my Ranbir Kapoor?!   

I'm back from Goa- The beautiful land of beaches. To most it would be a place where one can go for late night Raves and get stoned. But for me its the ultimate get away. After months and months of draggy mundane activities, this was a refreshing change. I went with my family. We chilled at the resort almost all the time but we didn't miss the Cavelossim beach in South Goa which very few people might have visited since I've never heard anyone talk about it. But its gorgeous, clean and peaceful. I don't wanna sound like I'm 60 years old, but whenever I visit a new place, I like to explore it a little and not just go out at night and waste the day at the hotel sleeping!

The only thing I missed was para sailing which I really wanted to do. But because of the rough sea, we couldn't, although my Masa and cousin went and had an accident after which my family were more adamant that we don't go. It was scary. The chute just came down and made them both fall into the water 'cause the motorboat stopped too and the wind was crazy. They were in the water for almost 15 mintutes and here we were getting tensed as to whether they'd even come back. But luckily, the guy took a Jet Ski and went and rescued them.

After spending a week with my family, I realised how much fun I had. The lovely resort, Carrom, water sports, cooking lunch everyday, reading on the lounge beds near the pool, swimming, the beautiful beach, Pipkins Lounge, watching my grandparents dance, karaoke, playing Dog and the Bone at the beach, Room 252, screwed up phone, Dinner at the restaurant, the gym, sitting in the oven (Sauna), taking a million pictures, dolphins, the never-ending sea, the Ringo ride, just having a great time overall. :)
