Sound sleep...

Lets go by the literal meaning of the phrase "sound sleep" here. It means smbdy who makes sounds while sleeping like snoring or talking when asleep. I will neglect the snoring part here and will talk about the later. Most of us have had experiences with people who this weird habit. I know a couple of them too and they have been very close to me so I can narrate the incidents with precision. One of them is my brother and a very good friend of mine with whom I have shared living space for almost two years. I have also been told that I also speak during sleeping but the incidents are rare but would try to narrate them as well. Can't promise about precision here but would tell whatever the subjects have heard/faced. Lets begin with ME:
ME:
1. This was during school days when we used to make attempt to study till late hours in the night. So once I slept earlier than my brother and he was studying/playing games and the lights were on. I first shouted at him for switching off the lights and then according to him, I asked him to stop the books. It seems they were going out of the room on thier own and I wanted him to stop them or else our library would go empty. WIERD....even I think so.

I have just one incident for myself.

MY BROTHER:
He has got lots of stories to his credit but I would narrate only two of them here. He would kill me if I tell all of them.
1. He had this habit of walking in the night with eyes closed. He would precisely know that where are his slippers and doors (specially for the loo) and would roam around with precision. He sometimes used to change clothes and go to bed again just to be awestruck in the morning. So the most interesting part comes, when my Mom used to change settings. So now the doors will not be in the same direction. Before getting used to new directions, he would sometimes start knocking on the windows thinking that they are doors and somebody has closed him inside. WOW!!!
2. When we were kids, there was a very popular TV series which used to come on doordarshan. The kid who used to play the main role was called "fatichar". It was a sort of sarcasm on poverty. So my brother used to repeat fatichar's dialogs in the night. It didn't happen just once or twice but was a regular feature for a couple of days. FUNNY..isn't it..!!!

MY FRIEND/ROOMMATE:
She has got the most funniest incidents to her credit.

1. What would you do if you hear Bachao!!! Bachao!!! at 1 in the night. I was scared and had to gather courage to go to the source to the cries. It was my roommate and I could not understand why is she shouting. So when I reached there, I asked her what happened. She recognized me and asked me to go to sleep. When I asked her in the morning about last night, she told me that she had fallen into a well in her dreams and when I went to her room, she realised that a well cannot have wardrobes and windows so it might be just a dream so she slept again. And she had SCARED the hell out of me last night....uffff.!!!
2. It becomes very hot in hyderabad during summers. So I was sleeping in the lobby and she in her room. I was not able to sleep properly as lobby is the hottest room of our flat, so I went to sleep in her room. She thought I am some thief and asked who am I. I told her that its me, but she refused to recognise me and starting throwing light on me with her mobile. Now she was throwing light on me with her mobile and was holding landline in other hand to call somebody. It was after a couple of minutes she realised that its only malls (thats what they call me) and went to sleep again.
3. We were at Goa for holi last year. It was one of the best trips we have ever been to and were obviously missing the fun moments and the gang (16 of us...10 guys and 6 girls). The trip was the topic of discussion for many days after we were back. So one night when we were asleep. My friend got up, went to another room where another flat mate was sleeping (she was not with us at Goa) and asked her...Where are the guys, dear??? My other flatmate was shocked and couldn't comprehend her. It was only in the morning she did realise that she was talking about the guys of our Goa gang. Well....this happens when you miss something terribly...!!!

Human beings are really strange..!!!

Dev D...Never go by critics ratings...otherwise as well...Bollywood stinks...

I know am posting this late. I had drafted it around 2 months back and then forgot to post it. So please bear with it now. So here is the post...

I am disappointed. I really am. Have been spending so much money on watching movies and all of them have disappointed me. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Ghajini and now Dev D (latest addition is Tasveer 8X10)...all of them have left me completely blank. I was really excited about Dev D...had heard awesome reviews and critics were praising it crazy. So I went to watch this on a weekday at 10 PM (given the constraint that I had office the next day). And I wanted to go back before the interval. Movies have been my good source of entertainment. But lately, I have been forced to look out for other options like TV (which is equally sad). And you really can't watch good English movies in a city like Hyderabad coz they are not released here. Well, hollywood, people here do understand English and if you still don't believe that, release movies with hindi/telugu/english subtitles. I promise good footfall.
For now, my only source of videop entertainment is you tube. I get to watch good videos there. If you guys have some other sources of video entertainment, please feel free to suggest. Top three suggestions will get tickets for Billa (this is a telugu remake of Don).

Bhishum Bhishum..

I was wondering what do I like most about "Bollywood movies"...the melodrama, the item numbers, the story less but full of masala movies, the glamor, Arjun Rampal, larger than life movies etc etc. And after thinking a lot, I realised that the best thing about a bollywood movie is "bhishum bhisum". Am not talking about the action sequences here, its the sound of punches, its just awesome. This sound makes the sequence so much fun and dramatic to watch and man you can count the number of punches hit (try counting the punches in English movies...its not that easy). So now that I have started imagining the fight scenes, the next dramatic piece is blood spurting out of hero's mouth. I don't know if anybody has noticed it but the blood never comes out of the Bad Man's mouth in same quantities as the Hero (budget constraints I guess..;)).
But don't you think this sound is what makes the sequence more interesting. Its like giving voice to emotions or like personifying the thoughts. Perhaps that's the same reason why people enjoy watching reality programs. Well that's my food for thought for today. I will keep on posting some more deadly and irrelevant ideas as ans when they come to my mind. Till then keep thinking..!!!
