2009 - A travel spree!

One fun filled year just passed by. Lets see what this year has stored in for me.

Last year was one heck of a travel spree for us. We started with honeymooning in Hawaii, followed by valentines day in Chicago, and then a quick getaway to NYC with friends.
Then came the weddings in India (Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore), followed by surprise birthday celebrations at Florida.
A sudden trip to Niagara falls on American Independence day and a get together with friends.
Like this was not enough we hailed to Vancouver for Rakhi celebrations. Planned a trip to Mount Rushmore for Hubby's birthday celebrations. A day in LA, and than came Anniversary Celebrations at Cancun Mexico.
The year came to an end, we grabbed the opportunity for one more outing - and yes you guessed it right the occasion this time was new years celebrations. Partied like never before at none other than Vegas!

Now that was one real crazy year! We didn't miss a single month in the calendar, where we didn't have to pack our bags and fly somewhere. Not to mention the year begun with relocating to Minneapolis and ended with relocating to Orange County, California.

Looking forward for an eventful 2010 now...

Aal Iz Welll..


Another great movie from Aamir. :-) Just loved the movie. A MUST WATCH MOVIE.

The movie keeps switching back and forth from present to flashback and is very well narrated by Farhaan - Madhavan. I can understand if you have split thoughts about going and watching a movie where 40+ year old men are acting as College students! But believe me, leave all the minor details aside, and just go and watch the movie. I am sure in the end you will be all praise for the movie.

The movie very well depicts the Indian education system, and how things have become today. A very good preaching to the government to change the system, in a funny, amicable way. Movie depicts how everybody has succumbed to the traditional and conventional way of studying in today's world, but there are still a few people like Rancho (Aamir Khan), who question the system and yet top the grades!

The movie does revolve around Aamir Khan as the hero on the screenplay, but the credit goes to every single person acted in the movie and behind the screens. Boman Irani has done his usual best at the tough Dean of a well renowned institute. Sharman Joshi is too good in all the scenes and especially in the ones he break downs! Madhavan has once again done justice to his role. Amazing music, which I can keep listening to all day!! Cinematography brings out the magnificent beauty of Ladakh!

This blog was started couple of days back, but publishing only now. Don't want to reveal any hilarious moment of the movie, and spoil the fun. So go and watch for yourself and enjoy..I promise it is a total paisa vasool movie..
