I'll Do It My Way: The Incredible Journey of Aamir Khan : Its Incredible

Image
Khambe jaisi khadi hai ladaki hai ya chhadi hai shola hai phooljhadi hai pattakhe ki ladi hai aankhon mein ghussa hai labon pe gaali hai dekho jara dekhjo yaaron khudako samajhati hai kya I loved this song when I was 1 year old (ok make it between 3 to 5 ;) ) and this song was a cult in Antakshri which is a spoken parlor game played in India reference Wikepedia. So this songs manifest that I am a naughty kid from my my inception and this also marked a relation I had with Aamir Khan Films. While my favourite heroines changed all the way from Aaishwarya  Rai, Pretty Zinta , Katrina Kaif which will soon be replaced by young babes coming in film industry but my favourite hero in Hindi Films was always Aamir Khan. So once I knew that a book is coming then I was very excited with my friend JB. I ordered a copy each for both of us at lowest price from www.uread.com after comparing prices from several websites   ;). JB finished this book prior to me and told me that it i...

Bret HITMAN Hart: MY REAL LIFE IN THE CARTOON WORLD OF WRESTLING

Hmmm I don’t know how to start with. This is my third post on a wrestling book. It started when I got my hands on Hulk Hogan, Mick Foley followed by Bret Hart.   Pink soldier HITMAN was positioned in my mind with Pink Lowers, black Jacket and amazing sunglasses which I always wanted. I still remember when I used to play trump cards my friend said that HITMAN is a hero and loves kids. At that time jargons of wrestling like baby face and heels were an alien concept to me. To clear things baby face is a hero and Heel is  a villain in analogy to a movie.  As events turned out one day I stumble upon this book. I tried to get it from many websites but I was not able to get it as most of the times it went out of stock as I was ordering a cheaper version. One day I thought lets go get it, I removed the price constrain form my mind and ordered a slightly expensive version.   It took around a week to get delivered but once I got it in my hand, I was amazed. P...

Maslow's hierarchy of needs vs My hierarchy

For the past few days I often this discuss this term or sperm (courtesy Vicky Donor) with my friends. I often say that my friends like JB, KP  and me lie in the lowest rung of pyramid as we haven’t  hit the tunnel yet and veterans like PJ, JJ are in at the level three and friend RD and SS at level 5.  Those who must be thinking what Maslow theory all about do a Google and you will find out. Hit images under Google and you will see a triangle with following parameters( bottom to top):   Physiological needs Safety needs Love and belonging   Esteem Self-actualization Mr. Abraham Maslow says that whenever human reaches fulfil a certain level he jumps to next level. I still remember in final year of engineering when my teachers were making sure that we mug this topic she said food, hunger and sex are the basic needs at level 1 and all when everyone heard about sthe word sex the entire class went bersek as boys had boner and may be girls reached thei...

Easy Company Soldier by SGT. Don Malarkey with Bob Welch

Image
Let me try if I can do justice by writing a review here. My Stomach is filled with chicken and My mind with a hot babe I just watched on television. So I guess to Pen down this post I need to turn on Easy Company mode.  I like to read about war books not just because of some heroic feats or that I have a deep interest in history but they teach you something about the human psychology which is embedded in each one of us but we seldom realise.  Sebastian Junger describes this phenomenon as the hand Grenade effect and I will come to it later.  “The legendary battle of a Sergeant from world war II’s Band of Brothers” these words are written on the front jacket of book and describes the 250 page sensational read. One thing that is remarkable about the book is the age of author. He is born in the year 1921 and I thought while reading this was going to be filled with wisdom from the old man. But hell No !! While reading this he takes you to the world where you see the...

Bruce Lee: Fighting Spirit :- Jeet Kune Do

Image
He Haw Kick Bam Spat Chapat Thak Thak Pataaak!! If you are thinking what has happened to me this is the sound of my brain (naughty brain :P) making imaginary noises when it thinks that it can fight like Bruce Lee.  Bruce Lee I remembered this name. When I was growing up and used to play video games on 8 bit console there was a video game called Kung-Fu. The first word which came to my mind was Bruce Lee. Somebody told me that he was killed as some psycho dude stabbed him. Now I grew up there were messages like Bruce Lee Chuce Lee naaaa upto this time to be candid I did’t showed up interest in his life.  Something happened after it. Facebook came into my Life and two of my friends Lali and Shivi Baby (will provide their twitter handles later in the post) posted some pics of the fittest men on earth on their profile with the words “Don’t Think ....Feel!”. I remember at that time I was reading open by Andre Agassi and he has written “Stop Thinking Start Feeling”.  Tim...

MIck MiCk MiCk Foley Have a Nice Day Bang Bang Bng

Image
Mick Foley hmmmmm I remember this name. Raw is War( Attitude Era). It was around year 1999. I was a super intelligent kid who didn’t have a cable connection. Being a super intelligent kid that I am I used Kundee Connection. (This is a highly sophisticated form of television reception. You take an aluminium wire, make a cut in your neighbour’s cable wire, and Join it with your TV antenna wire and wola!! You are done. Now you can watch cable connection free of cost at the expense of the price your neighbour pays J:) ) There was a person in red T-Shirt with broken tooth and weird expression who when came to the ring sets the crowd on fire with a thunderous welcome. Bang Bang Bang!! He used to wrap a sock around his hand, put it in the opponents mouth (yukkkkk) and choked him till the opponents tap out. Pretty weird dude. I sometime think why the other wrestler just won’t bite his fingers off and kicks his Jabroni Ass( I am a big “The Rock” Fan). I had questions but not answers. ...

BaseCamp : How I see you

I was inducted into the base camp hall of fame when I joined my new circus around year back.    Prior to it I thought that only Outlook was evil but what a fool I was. (“Ignorance is Bliss” recently learned this phrase from my colleague).  At first I thought that it is some sort of camp with some bon fire, guitar, hot babes and beer. My expectations nose dived once I was told to open a specific URL (Cant’ name it or my employer will fire not to forget I will hit back with a fire extinguisher). It had green colour I thought it was some kind of grass, soothing effect but once I opened it my life took a turn a hairpin bend to make it precise. I was told it was used to do some sort of collaboration, in marketing classes collaboration is a cult. They join fingers of both hand a bit above their face and say collaborate but I think at place of collaboration it is used to exasperate all of its users. Sob Sob.  I learned to operate it I thought like a girlfriend...
