Some Naive pencil sketches by me!!

Today when i was browsing through many blogs!! i realised i also used to sketch a lot. I was able to recover only the below few pictures and wondered y did i even stop sketching !?!! :-(
I promised to myself i will make a fresh start and i will be back with more works!!
Till then find some below

Doesnt look like aish but was made from aish's wall paper of Umrao jaan in which she was looking great (unlike many other movies and angles)..Oh man!! i guess i need to improve a lot :) :P but pat pat ......though she doesnt resemble aish at all she looks good ;)

Work Vs SocialNetWork /Face Vs FaceBook

Work Vs Social Network

These days I am getting a big doubt am I working in midst of social networking or am i social networking in midst of working!!! SOCIAL networking is creeping in to my nerves , veins heart mind and soul...1 year back when i was using orkut ....I was able to cut it easily and get back to my other works , book reading or TV watching . I created a profile on Face book with my first ever profile pic of sonam kapoor from saawariya (Yes am obsessed with bful pics ;) and i don’t restrict them to just one person -----beauty is wide and seasonal)...Then I had may be 10—15 frnds and I was not that interested in chatting messaging or peeping in to their profiles..I felt it all silly but was curious why people are so addicted to it!! One fine day When I opened my orkut---I saw that there are no updates from any of my friends no new pics, no new communities or discussions or scraps. I thought “heck” What happened to all.. Have they got so busy with their work..and am I the only one who has unlimited free time ! then I just casually opened my facebook page may be after an year and saw some 20 friend requests and some new messages ,FARMVILLE invites so on so forth.. That was just the beginning. I guess I immediately got hooked..Accepted all of them and started peeping in to their profiles..slowly it became a habit ..Morning, Noon and Evening and until I sleep...I thought I will slowly get out of it......But HELL NO!! I was getting more and more deeper in to it....whether its making me happy or keeping me occupied or I have nothing better to do am not sure ..but I was and am very much on FB since the D day I reopened it after the down fall of orkut..The pic which got me was that ORKUT RIP one ..Awesome creativity and awesome way to show the up rise of FB!FB is in demand no doubt in it..

It feels good safe and glad when You see “N” number of friends in your list!! And the likes comments ...photos .,.. the creativity and many more.. I haven’t tried the games yet but heard they can keep u glued to the comp..FB is definitely innovative and a better social networking site with its own pros and cons .The Korean Orkut Büyükkökten must have cursed Mark Zuckerberg the number of times he gets comments on his FB profile or likes :P ....Well The facebook Grip and Orkut Rip both happened at the same time!! But did the grip made the relations or hampered them ..its still a open question !!

People are making face book their Face, postal address .......reachable place ......They started pouring their heart mind and soul in to it ..its acting like a pensive warehouse to them. Few days back I saw a friend of mine putting her status like “ My sweet heart not well today ..am so sad “ and 10, 15 No of comments beneath it saying ah oh...tc ...get well soon to ur hubby and she again liking the comment with some heart symbol in return :: I dont understand what she is doing on FB !When she is so sad she must be attending him. The WALL was never so wide withso many statements painted on it!! People scribble anything and everything on it..THERES nothing wrong in sharing your excitement and happiness but your husband’s health status ..Your bus being late,,,,Your sleep time..... F B wall has become synonymous to a personal diary to quite a lot of people ...well every one seeks attention! But this ASS (Attention Seeking Syndrome) should not become pain in ones ASS. Emotional quotes and inspirational quotes are still Ok, but hanging personal posters and almost censored pics totally on wall is some thing too heavy to bear....Well all offence meant to those who do it !I have seen a friend having her break fast, lunch, snacks ,tea everything while simultaneously chatting on FB with all kinda strangers! Well chatting should be atleast interesting Not like X: “ what are you wearing today ? whats in lunch. Hey i kept a photo ..do check..did u check my status today ?”

Y: have you seen my LIKES of the year pic ! do check ..am glad p is in 1st place....

Now god knows if P has checked it or not .Y will be double glad if P likes the Likes of the year photo and sad if some unexpected Q likes the photo and pays more attention to her..Coz Q may be an obstacle when she is trying to seek P’s attention.. Well this vicious circle of friends goes on and on !with no much result no much output...the emotions expressed here are harmless but at the same time useless . well as this site is in demand coz of emotions we cant calculate uses..though there are uses like increasing your readers if u write. Spreading a good cause in mass! II get the wedding update of a friend and the invitation in a message and I check it when they are in honey moon in kulumanali !Not DONE!! FB is not a place to invite even if they think they have personally done it!...........when comments were pouring in I realised she is married! Well I had no other choice than commenting

Slowly i also joined the league.. If i get a doubt some one is married or not ..i go to their profile check their status and pics..but i neither talk nor chat with them. There are many people in my office with whom I talk only on FB. Its not that we are very busy in our day to day lives. But its just that its “FB ERA” Nothing is so comfortable . You can talk, fight criticise or praise free of the burden of seeing each other or meeting. Thats what many feel !So i too got used to it slowly. I have seen people planning a meeting on FB that too all in comments.. Lets meet at nanal nagar at 4 says some X. Go to abids by 6 .....and so on so forth .. I think are they trying to hint some one that they are going some where !:) coz i don’t understand why they can’t simply call each other and plan !!


My Likes on FB are mostly the innovative fictional jokes

· Sania and shoaib maliks wedding and the Ayesha case :: Ayesha claims she knows shoaib malik.. Reporter asks “how do u know eeach other” Ayesha: “we were neighbours” Rep :”where” Ayesha : “ on Farmville

· Some cool innovative things like once i got a Christmas wish—fb way where jesus is born and joseph keeps updating his status ..in Jerusalem, in the farm—so on so forth

· And the funny facebook profiles of politicians ,actors/ actresses and even god is so funny !:)


I dislike FB becoz


· It hooks me to it for long

· I get up brush my teeth. Listen to songs on lappy but i cant resist my self from logging on to FB. What if some one is going some where today or some X has put one more drool worthy pic and 100+ boys have commented on it


· After noon I log in and check how many more comments she got so far or with whom he/she is going out to night .GOSH!! i feel i am knowing too much about their lives and where abouts with out even exchanging a single conversation !I hopeI don’t get a pop up like below when am facebooking

The constant updates which actually makes me feel am connected to the whole world but am Really connected to not even a whole of 10 people

Well some how this passion of facebooking , letting out emotions and booking plans on FB continues . Have to see till how many months or years this madness will continue ruling our minds...I believe this is the strongest addiction gripping the universe now which can hook people to it 24*7! REHAB centers may soon be in demand where facebook addiction is cured!!....I hope just born babies wont start facebooking and try searching their mom brothers and sisters profiles on facebook :P

I got a forward today

Alphabets in LKG

A – for apple

B—for Byte

C—For Char

D—For dotnet

E---For Email

F—facebook!!

One thing which hasn’t changed then , now and wont change in future is A for Apple !!

By the end of this post i cant resist my self from sharing this post on FB or liking it :) Keep Smiling!!!

Noor E Khuda!!

was listening to this song all of a sudden.....just loved the whole song! kudos to shankar, adnan and shreya and lyricist : niranjan iyengar!!

Noor e khudaaa
Ohhhhooo ohhoooo
Noor e khuda

Ajnabe mod hai
Khauf har ore hai
Har nazar pe dhua cha gaya
Pal bhar mein jaane kya kho gaya

MMm..Aasman zard hai
Aanhein bhi sard hai
Tan se saya juda ho gaya
Hmmm…
Pal bhar mein jaane kya kho gaya

Saanse ruk si gayi
Jism chil sa gaya
Tootey khwabon ke manzar pe tera jahaan chal diya

Noor e khuda, noor e khuda
Tu kahan chupa hai hume ye bataa
Noor e khuda, noor e khuda
Yun na humse nazarein phira
Noor e khuda, noor e khuda
Tu kahan chupa hai hume ye bataa
Noor e khuda, noor e khuda
Yun na humse nazarein phira
Noor e khudaaa ..
Noor e khudaaa…

Hoo nazarein karam,pharmahi de
Oo deen o dharam, ko jagaa hi de
Oo jalti huyi tanhaiyan
Roothi huyi parchahiyan
Kaisi udhi ye hawa
Chaya ye kaisa samaa

Hmmm rooh jum si gayi, waqt tham sa gaya
Tootey khwabon ke manzar pe tera jahaan chal diya
Noor e khuda, noor e khuda
Tu kahan chupa hai hume ye bataa
Noor e khuda, noor e khuda
Yun na humse nazarein phira
Noor e khuda

Aaa aa
Aaaa aaa…
Ga ma pa ni.. sa da ..
Aaaa aaa..aaa aa….

Ujdhe se lamho ko aas teri
Zakhmi dilo kyun hai pyaas teri
Har dhadkan ko talaash teri
Tera milta nahin hai pataa

Khali aankhein khud se sawaal karein
Thamne ki cheek behaal kare
Behta lahu fariaad karein
Tera mitta chala hai nishaan

Rooh jum si gayi, waqt tham sa gaya
Tootey khwabon ke manzar pe tera jahaan chal diya

Noor e khuda, noor e khuda
Tu kahan chupa hai hume ye bataa
Noor e khuda, noor e khuda
Yun na humse nazarein phira
Noor e khuda

Noor e khuda, Noor e khuda
Aaj kal tu kahan hai ye bataa
Noor e khuda, noor e khuda
Aaj kal tu kahan hai ye bataa
Noor e khuda, noor e khuda
Aaj kal tu kahan hai ye bataa
Noor e khuda, noor e khuda
Noor e khuda, noor e khuda
Aaj kal tu kahan hai ye bataa
Noor e khuda, noor e khuda
Kya ye sach hai ke tu hai humse khafa
Noor e khuda …

THE REPUBLIC!!!


Why are we celebrating 62years of Freedom?
When most of us have to stay dumb?
I don’t feel like saying I am a sovereign republic.
I always feel we abide by the rules framed by public!!


Ages back it was British rulers who divided and ruled.
Now it is our own Indians who ruled and divided.
Ages back we had to abide by their thoughts and policies.
Now we are burdened by our peer’s thoughts and beliefs!

There is no progress in thinking process.
Be it 1930s or the 20th century days.
Then the British treated us like their slaves.
Now we are forced to think only in the dark caves!

Sad that people get united and fight back when the reason is silly,
Sad that human values and thoughts are always suppressed!
In the world where speech is thought as a crime,
the actual crime is left behind in no less time!!

No one can repair the narrow minded folks.
They live in the slime and the well like a frog.
They want rest all to join and sleep in the filthy broth.
Thoughts “WE WILL STAMP THEM” is their oath!!

If some body ask me if am in a free country?
I would like to tell ya country where there is still slavery.
We are slaves to others beliefs, rules even if they rot.
Slaves to rich, rebels and equipped people who form the stronger lot!

Assault and insult by our own people, keep aside the Britishers,
not many understand what is live and let live.
To peek in to your brain and remote control it, they always strive!
Am not celebrating the 62yrs of success progress or freedom.
Am inviting a new era of silence and to live in a dumb kingdom!!

O-RANGE--My take

ORANGE – MY TAKE

Last week went to Orange movie just for TP …as I had nothing to do and was getting bored in my room. Spent 90/- in a bekaar theatre and was just praying that the movie is watchable enough but Guess what I loved the movie in and out! Yep it’s a fresh new movie which is totally apart from all the lovvy-- dovvy mushy stuff usually showed in all typical tolly or bolly movies…Like hero heroine meet a first crush song.. one rain song…Some comedy in the midst of all this which is not at all linked to the story line of the movie and then one fight which disobeys all the laws of physics :P if there is some twist in that love story that is mostly the entry of another heroine ( A triangle love story) and so on so forth routine stuff…..ORANGE is different from all such movies . It showed a new true angle of a relation …Where its sweet in the first little less sweet later….Routine little later..may be bitter at the end. I always had this feeling that most of the relations not only LOVE between Lovers but many relations are nice afresh ..its like so far so good types! The more you know the person and the more attached You get to him or her the more charm is lost in the relation. MARK MY WORDS its not with every one and any one but it happens generally. This was my perspective always and this movie justified it and it’s a good feel to see facts of a LOVE LIFE for the first time ..by not seeing always the wonderful fairy tale part! So in the movie our Hero is undoubtedly a cute cupid boy who can attract women in Nano seconds but the relation doesn’t stand long as he has some or the other problem with every girl he meets.. So he doesn’t believe in a forever relation but insists the girl and invites her in to a short and sweet relation(Well this part is quite confusing and many wont accept it :)) Here we can argue why cant he stay like a WOMEN Hater !! but kya kare women are so charming that our lover boy cant resist them…he will love them but not forever…and his love for that short and sweet period will be immense and unique from others :) so women also cant resist him :P…but Women are sensitive….So they want him to cling with them forever but he is not the kind so he has many break ups!!he has some 9 failure love stories…
But the reason for these failures is one long love story in the past where he loves a girl immensely in his grad days and goes for her to Bombay to propose and believes his life is going to be wonderful ..but the reality has some thing else in store. The girl turns possessive and cant even digest Smses from his friends!!(OFCOURSE the friend here is a girl) ..Day by day our hero who is full of life changes a bit and starts even lying to her just to make her happy.. One fine day he realizes he is losing him self in all this chakkar and tells her that he is unsure about having a life long relation with her…so breaks up and since then even if he is attracted to any girl he doesn’t have any future plans with them and makes it clear to them in the beginning of relation it self…Women fall for him but then hate him for leaving them…So our Genny darling comes in the last. Her number is 10 ! and she is too much of a baby doll who loves her fantasy world..and is crazy about having a LIFE LONG love story but its her bad that she meets hero ram who shows life in a new angle to her and makes her think a lottt on Love life and relations…. The finishing of movie is also nice though the concept is a bit confusing . The moral of the story is YES LOVE vanishes day by day but you need to make efforts for its revival and some times may be you need to kill your self LOVE to express your love to your MR. Or Miss Right or make her happy!!! The comedy is too good and spontaneous….Brahmi’s jokes in the beginning were little confusing but later as the movie picked up they Were LOL worthy!...he is a person who loves love storys but hates this genelias strange love story !!! The way he tells to genny “OH what a painful love story !:)” Just got me….I laughed loud :P I WONT narrate the whole story here :) its good to go and watch….
There are many more hilarious tit bits for which YOU GOTTA GO AND WATCH Movie…. With friends / cousins preferably of ur age as Your parents may or may not like the movie!!!
Plusses
1.) Costumes---wowww : They were just wow.. they made Ram look more handsome. I wish he was little more tall :) but shorter bhi chalega
2.) Ram charans acting skills…yes There is a clear 5X improvement in his performance compared to chirutha and magadheera.. He lived up to the mark in emotional, comedy , and even angry scenes!! Liked him most in this movie
3.) Genelias paagal pan…As always she lived in it…but there is some 10X improvement in her paagal panti which was not much needed :)
4.) Prabhu….Dont know why but I always like prabhu in the dad role (even in darling movie he was a cute dad )
5.) Graffiti : : One will definitely accept after watching the movie that the graffiti hobby of Ram and all the colors (even the fight)added more color to orange :)
6.) SONGS : how can I forget songs.. Music is heart to the movie.. I loved all the songs.. Not to mention Sydney nagaram……..O-range is my most fav feet tapping song after watching movie :)
7.) Brahmi : No points to guess why we all love him :)
8.) Rams friends circle and the ashtachamma’s actor !! They suited correctly The funniest scene is Rams friend saying :
Love means : 4 lies , 3 smses , 2 pathetic jokes and one rose flower…hahahaha ! I can say this is my most fav scene!
9.)Genelia’s Hip hop Yo Yo scene :) I wont describe it. So go and watch
10.) Last but not the least-------- I felt each and every role small and big suited the person very aptly like Mahesh babus sis playing ram’s didi, her husband, nagababu ,gennys mom and dad…so on so forth

Minuses
1.) Gennys MAKE UP : Its yucky..it was too much and she looked like some too fair baby doll.
2.) Removal of Ram’s moustache just because he is a student!! I didn’t like him with out moustache but ya it was funny :)
3.) The movie totally showed that girls being possessive may lead to problems in many love stories where boys are forced to lie or sacrifice some of their good old hobbies/habits at times but what about boys??????? How will they react if their girl friends get an sms from an age old friend—a boy!! I Don’t think they too react nicely (though not all)…Some Boys equally get possessive like Some girls so may be that part should also be shown may be in orange-2 :P
4.) Girls believe too fastly and fall for lies—YES but as not all girls are senseless atleast one sensible girl should have been shown..Even Ram pulls gennys leg telling YOU CANT DECIDE for your self…..but ya world is not full of senseless or possessive girls… :) On a lighter note Girls with too much of sense don’t fall in love ;)

That’s all Friends. I wont try to find too many flaws in the movie as I loved it!

I would say its must watch with friends
My rating is : 4/5 : I have cut that 1 for gennys make up and one or two PJS :)
And lastly the title is not Orange (fruit) its O-RANGE…(O in telugu means A).which I guess means Love story with a different range!! I could decode the title only when I heard the song O-range :)

PS : Do listen the songs…they r good

Good day!!

And just like that - teeny to tweeny
