On Olympic and Box Office Hopes



India has kicked off its London 2012 campaign in disastrous fashion..My initial prediction that India will clinch at least three golds this Olympics is surely hanging by a thread as I post this, yet the optimist in me still hopes that mission will indeed be accomplished !


On an aside we saw "The Dark Knight Rises" last week, and for me the movie was definitely better than "The Dark Knight". Am a huge fan of the Joker that Heath Ledger pulled off, but the movie was pretty thin apart from him. Also decent watches were "Bol Bachchan " and "Cocktail"


Tonight we will be watching "Kya Super Kool Hai Hum" and before you begin - we watch  every movie that releases, simple! So Ekta and Her K-Brigade have stormed the box office in the opening weekend  and yet my expectations from this movie aren't at all much all I hope is that its at least a comedy, that in itself will be enough for me!

India's olympic Gold....

No... before you descend into raptures of orgasmic pleasure, or spasms of intense disbelief...let me state categorically THAT WE HAVEN"T WON EVEN A SINGLE GOLD YET AT ATHENS 2004..in fact 1980, Los angeles (?) was our last gold in hockey (sigh!!).....when will we, like China and US boast of a haul of 20s and 30s of gold in a single olympic?????(?!)!!!!! ...*Anticipatory ecstatic sigh*


P.S: the central parenthesis contains...?!.. this combination, also known as an INTERROBANG ( which incidentally is also a blog on quizzing in general and Pune quizzing in particular maintained by my friend JR Ramanand , who among other small achievements in his life happens to be Mastermind 2003 winner!)
