"Bhool Bhulaiya..."

No excuses this time around. I was just plain lazy to put up a post. Had been to B'bay during the last week of August. I had, in all, 9 days of leave 4 out of which were spent travelling in the train. My native is Trisshur in Kerela which by Konkan Rail schedule is a mere 24 hrs from B'bay. So my father insisted to curb unwanted expenses (flight tickets) as it was just the matter of one day (24hrs = 1day). But what was conveniently overlooked is the fact that I have to travel from Trivandrum (not Trisshur) and that takes 32 hrs normally. But this was no normal season. Rains always play havoc on the Konkan Rail with landslides and what not. To cut the long story short, I spent 4 days in all (both the weekends) in the train. The return journey was delayed by exactly 12 hrs. Got to meet some interesting people onboard. Took some lovely snaps of the rain soaked Konkan region. While I was in B'bay I busted my car which meant that all my plans were ruined plus as a bonus it was always raining whenever I stepped out.

Back in Trivandrum and I had an assignment waiting for me. Busted my ass on it for two weeks including the weekends only to know that it ain't decided yet whether it would actually make it into production. The next two weeks were spent in fun activities including organizing games for team building events and hosting a "Tea Party On Thursday (T-POT)". Its similar to the "Thank God Its Friday (TGIF) parties held in certain companies. In the mean time we also came up with this.



Before I forget, Bhool Bhulaiya is a pretty good movie. Unlike other mallu movies remade in hindi by Priyadarshan, this one is actually watchable. Even though I had caught the original and knew what was gonna happen next, it still sent shivers down my spine. Amisha is so cute especially in a saree, Vidya Balan is to watch out for, Akshay is good (though not as good as Mohanlal) and Shiney tends to overact a bit. Other than that I would give you the thumbs up to go watch the movie.
