Long Weekend.....

Insomnia strikes yet again at the end of a weekend! And am here bloging at 2 am on a tues morn after a loong weekend. Stop, its not because of fear of the weekdays ahead;), its just the effect of afternoon slumbers on weekends :)

Numbers say that we have max number of long weekends in 2008. And here again one more just passed by.

Weekends for me basically include movies, swimming, meeting frnds,long rides,dining out, watching reality shows on TV and yes some work too. But most of the time the joy of long weekends is lost when you remember the proj deadlines at job fast approaching. Monthly time lines at work tend to wash off the essence of long weekends.

This weekend I ended up watching 2 movies. First one was Accident ( kannnada) directed by Ramesh. Had gone to this one with my cab frnds. The movie was meant to be a thriller, and yes to some extent it was. The story basically is the sudden death of our heros better half when hes out of the country. Media reports our dead heroine of having an affair and the reason for accident being drunken rash driving with her then boyfrnd. Not able to believe this, our hero decides to unravel the exact cause for the accident. The movie then is how he with the help of his frnds solves the mystery behind the murder. I would rate this movie as once watchable.

The second one was the much hyped Pavan Kalyans "jalsa" (telugu). Hype I guess was basically because of the well known characters in the movie, well know director and music director. And yes the title too adds to the hype, "jalsa" means enjoy having bindass time. Well to tel what the movie was all about, ohh yaa lemme think, yes the script was so bad that I seriously have to think all over about the 21/2 hrs to make some sense of what exactly it was about. All I can remember is "Pavan Kalyan", yes it was among those typical south Indian completely hero centric movie. Hero centric bcoz, you'll only hear the hero speak for most part of the movie.Some dialogues making sense and most of the time absolute non-sen se. Fights filled up in the movie and hero thrashing hundreds of rowdies throughtout single handedly. All in all it was complete crap, except a couple of gud songs and some gud dialogues. So beware before you plan for this much hyped one.

To overcome the disaster of spoiling our weekend by watching such a movie, we frnds headed straight to "The Lagoon" a new restaurant in our area. Had some typical kerala dishes and lots fun at the dinner...

Third and final day of weekend. Its Ugadi...our new year. Pujas at home, work for most of the day, heavy lunch followed by heavier slumber. So the long weekend is past now, get back to work pple:)
