My first audition
Alright !!!
A little late on the time line, but this was sitting in my drafts.. so here it comes….
I got a call from my cousin one day at 11 in the night, this one usually won’t call very often and a call at that time made me feel it was a lil important, even though I was very sleepy and would have ignored any other call at the time, I picked his call. He sounded very excited that I answered the call and asked me straight away.. “Do you want to be on TV ?” and my answer was .. “Depends I don’t want a lot of fan following as am already tired of giving autographs 
? ”
Anywyas…So he said his friend is looking for someone to host a show on TV and he asked me if I’m game for it
I decided to go to the auditions….It was supposed to be scheduled in the morning, but I called them and moved it to afternoon-evening.. (see am throwing tantrums already) , I was a lil occupied with my regular saturday schedule, you know how tempting it is to skip the schedule for anything even an audition !! Oh which is btw playing with 2-3 year old kids.
3 PM: I step out and call up this guy to get directions. No offense but OMG this guy is very bad at giving directions, I was just hoping he was not he one who will direct me when I get in front of the camera. When I was trying to picture the directions when he was giving .. I felt like there was a rolla-costa ride inside my head !! I immediately stopped him, told him call him from one of the stop points.
4PM: Managed to reach on time.Remember, I knew no one there, this was supposed to be my cousins close friend, who happened to see me at some wedding and called me for the auditions. I could not recollect who it was, but ya I felt famous already. So now, I was asked to be seated and I was being treated like a celebrity there, water, coke was asked if the AC was ok and what not.. and Oh yes I totally enjoyed all that attention.
4:30 P.M: They give me a script and ask me to take few minutes to read through. They asked me to be as casual as possible so that it will come out naturally. I start reading. It is these famous dialog’s these anchors say. ” we will come back after a short break” , “thanks a lot for tuning into blah blah” and in both Telugu, Hindi and English. I was laughing so badly in my head when he handed over me the script, was very tough to control. That was exactly when it hit me what I was doing. But I sure wanted to have my own fun in front of the camera, the one good thing was that there was absolutely no one there whom I have to face the next day so I was very excited and was was practicing in front of the mirror. I could totally see the drama queen in me.
5:00 PM: A Lady walk into the green room, gives me a touch of make up and then I was called to give a shot. I enter the room full of lights and camera’s and looks totally like a mess. So much that I was scared I will trip off one of those wires. The mike was fixed to my dress and they gave me few moments to get used to the lights and the camera and then he went counting from 5-1 with his fingers and said “action”. Then that moment when I went blank and I did not see anything in front of me. I was talking and saying all that was written in the script but inside my head I was only picturing myself from the other side of the TV.
5:30 PM: I was standing and there was still these lights that were blazing at me and I cannot see anyone beyond that point, but I knew there are people in that room. I was sure I did the script right and I was waiting for them to respond. While all this was running in my head there were these 3 people who walk from the light towards me clapping and saying that I did a really good job. I totally imagined a 100 odd camera’s clicking around me and felt like a new born celebrity.
6:00 P.M: Everything is wrapped up they are very happy they found a new host for their show and I was given some papers to sign and all that jazz. I told them I will get back and then walk out of that place.
A very small channel a very small show and an audition for just a show, but I totally enjoyed all kind of attention and all the drama I did for the audition. It is a different world altogether.
Stop laughing ok. how many of you ever gave auditions.. haha at all of you now :p
woh intezaaar

Love Aaj Kal – the review
Story: They claim it to be the story of today’s generation and how they handle “love” and “relationships”. One thing that was missing in the movie that could have made it a hit was a good story. The subject is good and catchy and am sure will make the so called “Aaj Kal” folks drive to the theaters but they might be dissapointed with the story not being very “impactful”. It was more like a moral class lesson than a movie with Rishi Kapoor being the teacher .
Cast:
Saif Ali Khan : For some reason he was not himself in the movie. That fun and attitude he shows was not to be seen in this movie. I miss the saif in Hum Tum. That was an amazing flick. I kind of liked him as the Rishi Kapoor’s younger version than Jai. I felt like he was doing charity acting, may be being a co-producer gets on your head 
Deepika Padukone: Acts the same. Its the same expression and we know how exactly how she will react and is very bad at crying. and dressing omg not very impressive I must say. May be she was trying to claim the “this” generation look but failed very badly at it. Very average acting but she manages to look hot so the guys will enjoy.
Rishi Kapoor: Good one. He did not have much to do other than teaching(please read intruding) Saif about love and relationships and his own life, pavam he did not even get to act in his own flashback
There is nothing else to talk about this movie. You can watch it once. For some nice locations, average music, bad dancing(you will still enjoy), very little but very saif style comedy(like KHNH, Salam Namasthe) and some predictable story.
I rate it 2/5.
Ohh and more reviews coming ahead

A lost friend……
My true story
Sometimes life gets to uncertain and painful, I only wonder if the counter will ever be open and If I will ever get to be with my friend, afterall you only have one lifetime.
the “precious” feeling
I lost it !!!
the feeling that am precious the only feeling that kept me going ..
I’m in process of getting the feeling back !!!

but to start of a “tattoo” will do

Undoing people
I thought this is something that I will never be able to do in life…
I always strongly believed that people come into your life for a reason and are precious and should not exit no matter what. Suprisingly all of them whom I loved, I never parted ways with them, I figured out a way to keep them if not at the same level of “closeness”.
But as time passed by I realised the importance of letting people go and letting them go for Good. And I did.
I undid three people in the last two weeks outta ma Facebook, Orkut and where not. Sad thing is not yet from my life, thats due. Let’s see if they work it out for their good !!!
