Its been scientifically unproven that you will suffer from a frequent wisdom over-write, a condition i would call the laughing short stock syndrome. In other words, unbeknownst to you your mind is playing a last comic standing on you. Another side effect is the frequent-use-of-borrowed-jokes-without-giving-the-proper-credit syndrome.<br />As of today my wisdom bank looks as follows -<br /><ul><li>An apple a day keeps the doctor away, if you throw it hard enough</li><li>Pillow fighting is about pillows fighting, and its really depressing. If those things are fighting.. what hope do we have</li><li>When i see 2 geese fighting, I see a pillow fight ahead of time</li><li>An empty circle is a pie chart about procrastination</li><li>Game set match - Tennis <--> Set match run - Arson</li><li>15% of owners of all hummers are dildoes. Another 15% are douche bags.</li><li>If you ever happen to come across a picture of the globe with a small dot somewhere in america, please return my potrait. I had it done from a distance.</li><li>I think the worst time to have a heart atack is during a game of charades, especially if your team is really bad at guessing</li><li>Vests are about protection.. bulletproof vests protect you from bullets.. sweater vests protect you from pretty girls</li><li>Drowning is a bad experience, but it would help a little if you were a little thirsty just before that</li><li>You can say thanks, and you can say thanks a million, but any number in between.. na na.. imagine saying - thanks a 56</li><li>2 steps to becoming a bouncer - become an asshole.. stand at the door</li><li>My policy - no stones thrown regardless of housing situation(glass house or not)</li><li>Only people in glass houses should throw stones.. provided they are trapped inside</li><li>Glass half full - now thats an optimist.. but what if its a glass with shit in it.. </li><li>Leather jacket -- cool .. leather vest -- not so cool .. <strong>deduction </strong>- cool is about leather sleeves</li><li>Wings are awesome.. add it to any animal to make a mythical creature - Horse -> Pegasus.. Lion -> Griffin.. Hawk -> Double Hawk.. yeahhhh</li><li>There should be video games to take care of all the guys who get shot at in all the other video games </li><li>So my friend who is a parent told me - watch for kids. I thought it sounded like a fair trade, especially if they are crappy kids. </li><li>I used to compete in sports a lot, until i found out that you can buy trophies. Now i am good at everything.</li><li>Saying "I Apologize" is the same as saying "Iam sorry" unless you are at a funeral..</li><li>Everything is pocket sized, if your ass is big enough</li><li>Make sure your pyjamas have pockets, if you want to avoid holding on to things while sleeping</li><li>I think pringles intended to make tennis balls. When they received potatoes instead of rubber, they were plain lazy and went ahead and cut them up</li><li>I think they named oranges before they named carrots</li><li>"Sort-of" is a harmless little filler , which means nothing , unless used after -"I love you", "You are gonna live", "Its a boy" -- it means everything then </li></ul><p>Thats all for a peek into my borrowed wisdom stack.. as it stands today</p><p><table><tr><td><a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&add=http://phatdechakke.blogspot.com"><img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /></a></td><td><a href="javascript:void(rollpop=window.open('http://www.blogrolling.com/add_links_pop.phtml?u=http://phatdechakke.blogspot.com&t=phat de chakke','rollit','scrollbars=no,width=475,height=350,left=75,top=175,status=yes,resizable=yes'));rollpop.focus();">Blogroll Me!</a></td></tr></table></p>vishal purihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11868724790599969600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870417657971074974.post-52929145917778507872008-01-07T22:49:00.000-08:002008-01-16T10:59:46.521-08:00Best hindi movies of the past 3 yearsSaw Tare Zameen Par with divi. Thoroughly enoyed it.. which prompted me to get prolific wid bloggin.. 2 in 2 days eh.. not bad.. I obviously am a sucker for lists .. being an espn.com nut.. one cant help but become a list nut.. so here is a list of all indian movies (in the last 3 years) that made my 3 hrs worth it - in reverse order<br /><em><strong>Paisa Wasool- Taaliyaan</strong></em><br /><span style="color:#000099;">Guru</span> - Didnt care for the performances.. dhirubhai's story is inspiring nonetheless<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Chameli</span> - Am a kareena hater.. but its always good to be surprised..<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Page 3</span> - konkana, "i will become the character i play" Sen is The best.. no arguments<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Life in a Metro</span> - Cool music.. again konkana rocks<br /><span style="color:#000099;">1971</span> - I thought this was a neatly done war movie.. with minimal jingoism<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Being Cyrus</span> - Saif can act.. and Boman Irani CAN act<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Corporate</span> - Must say.. I expected this to be a drag and it managed to keep me glued<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Chini Kum</span> - Amitabhs chemistry with tabu is endearing<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Pyaar kei Side effects</span> - Had me in splits for the most part. Its not something i have some to expect of a rahul bose movie.. yet it is as much a ranvir shenoy and gasp.. mallika sherawat film<br /><em><strong>Jhakkas - First day first show front row</strong></em><br /><em><span style="color:#000099;">Iqbal </span>-</em> Shreyas and nasiruddin shah charm you in a simple feel good story on cricket<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Manorama 6 feet under</span> <em>-</em> Abhay deol is kinda refereshing. Did i mention gul panang rocks. So does Rimi Sen. The movie is very well constructed.. Keeps you glued<br /><em><span style="color:#000099;">Dor</span> -</em> Transports you to the rural charms of rajasthan and Himachal using ayesha takia and gul panang(Is she cool or what) as strong feminist protaganists<br /><em><span style="color:#000099;">Parineeta</span> -</em> Vidya balan shines along with vidhu vinod chopra.. nobody brings out mid 20th century charm quite like him<br /><span style="color:#000099;">The Namesake</span> - The magic is in the screenplay.. kal penn is mighty good<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Munna Bhai 2</span> - A sequel as endearing as this cant be a fluke<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Tare Zameen Par</span> - Aamir has created something special.. darsheel and the artwork/animation in the film rocks. Shankar ehsaan loy has gifted a gem of a score. yummy<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Khosla ka ghosla</span> - still makes me feel insecure about my plot in Delhi.. Ranvir shenoy is awesome .. and so is kailash kher<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Chak De</span> - The bandar didnt spoil it.. an indian sports movie for the ages.. for a non existing genre in hindi cinema.. this is a classy effort.. partly inspired by that true gem.. bend it like.. and yes i hated Lagaan to the core<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Bheja Fry</span> - thank you vonay pathak.. the film is all yours..<br /><strong><em>Chak de phatte - 1000 ka black mei dega kya</em></strong><br /><span style="color:#000099;">Johny Gaddar</span> - What an underrated film.. I was awestruck by it. Neil mukesh is a good actor.. This is easily shankar ehsaan loys top 3 effort. Sriram raghavan knows a thing or 2 about film-making<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Rang De Basanti</span> - What a comback from the director after that horror called aks.. Kunal kapoor was the find ofcourse..<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Omkara</span> - Flawless.. all credit to the director.. vishal bharadwaj is the 2nd best director out there in indian cinema.. did i mention saif can act.. and konkana CAN act<br /><span style="color:#000099;"><strong>Hazaaron Khwaishein aisi</strong></span> - best ever??? do me a favor.. see it.. if you cant see it and have your mind feeling like a salivating tongue.. dont even bother talking to me .. and say after me - Sudhir misra is god. Where art thou Chitrangada Singh.. You left me dazzled, wanting more and being able to do nothing about it. Its a rare occasion that an actress has been able to pull off that role of a woman that any man can befriend, love and lust for.. and is hence always a dream away.. even when she is in his arms<br /><br />I may have missed out a few here and there.. will retrofit as i remember.. please do let me know if i missed any . Please do not suggest Black(it was overrated and loud).. Remember the 3 year limit(2005 onwards)<br /><br /><table><tr><td><a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&add=http://phatdechakke.blogspot.com"><img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /></a></td><td><a href="javascript:void(rollpop=window.open('http://www.blogrolling.com/add_links_pop.phtml?u=http://phatdechakke.blogspot.com&t=phat de chakke','rollit','scrollbars=no,width=475,height=350,left=75,top=175,status=yes,resizable=yes'));rollpop.focus();">Blogroll Me!</a></td></tr></table><br /><strong><em></em></strong>vishal purihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11868724790599969600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870417657971074974.post-58694880658306454012008-01-07T06:25:00.000-08:002008-01-16T11:00:05.298-08:00phat de chakkephat de chakkeyyyyy..
