Dozing through Mr & Mrs Smith Posted on June 14, 2005June 14, 2005 I did the unthinkable! Despite the considerable star power and heat the couple were generating, I dozed through the second half of Mr & Mrs Smith 🙂 On the first day of the show last Friday. After the interval, when both of them were really getting at each other, I was lulled into sleep! Here’s a rather flattering review. I have never done this before in a hall – sleep through a movie that is. At least for a long while. Maybe, I need to see it again. This time, with my eyes open! I had written about a bad experience at Millers 46 a few weeks ago. Jude, who’s the owner of Millers 46 actually left an apology on my blog and sent me a voucher towards my next meal. Thanks Jude! Can imagine how demanding the service business is and will definitely go back for more at Millers 🙂 22 people so far for the Honnemardu trip this weekend. Yayay! Am really excited. Have wanted to go to this beautiful place for a while and am totally looking forward to it. My weekend French classes hardly allows me to travel these days. But I have 2 weeks to go before my finals and if I don’t go somewhere, I am going to be very unhappy. So Honnemardu, it is!

Wandering around in Fontainhas Posted on December 29, 2006December 29, 2006 You must go to Fontainhas, said my friend Albert on the phone. It’s a heritage area where you can still see influence of Portugese architecture. He’s a true blue Goan so I couldn’t possibly not listen to him! On our last day in Goa, we headed to this old quartier… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
V-Day has become V-Scary Day! Posted on February 14, 2007February 14, 2007 Following my post yesterday, there have been more interesting (and predictable) developments in the Indian public space. People in the city of Jaipur are advised to indulge in private displays of affection instead (this is very much Indian culture, btw) and make loads of babies. It’s good for the country,… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
Horsing around Posted on June 8, 2004 One advantage of being in Bangalore, I’ve quickly discovered is the plethora of things to do. Besides getting back into my old loves – badminton and swimming – I decided to get into another activity, horse riding. So bright and early on Saturday morning, landed up at the Race Course… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
I don’t get it! I heard that the movie itself was a bore post-interval. So you may sleep through it again. Reply

Would the symphony guy refund my 100 bucks back for this movie if i told him what harm this movie can inflict upon mortals like me? Reply
Hey famous! BTW, one of my favourite movies was Hum Aapke Hai Kaun, which I supposedly have seen about fifteen times, or rather have slept through. Nice music all the while, no dishum-dishum to wake one up with the sound. Three hours of absolute bliss! And wish I could come along for the Honnemardu trip! Damn, have a quiz on Sunday. Are these blogger meets a regular thing? Would love to come along for the next one. Reply
You do get quite a lot of SPAM!.. even after awitching to WP?? And i too got it through you!.. your Comments RSS feed..!!! Reply
Hey aisa bhee hota hai??? that goes for sleeping through a movie as well as getting an apology and gift voucher!! Reply
We did the same thing when we wnet for “Kya kool hein hum”. We dozed off in the later part as it was getting unbearable. Reply
I also saw the movie and found it quite interesting. And after the movie I felt positive that I haven’t wasted my 100 bucks for the movie. This was echoed by the friends with whom I went to watch the movie. But one thing I admit, that this is not a movie I would suggest a woman to see. You see, its a man kind of maar-dhad movie. Although I am myself a bit opposed to only fighting sorts of movies and on the same lines I hated the part when the pair (Mr. and Mrs. Smith) fought with dozens of armed men after coming out of the room. But definitely I enjoyed the subtleties in the humour like the part when: Mr. Smith : I missed you. Mrs. Smith: I missed you too! Probably you were dozing off when it came, so no need to stress your mind to find humour in this. BTW, if I were you, I would come back home to sleep. And more importantly, ask like-minded people before going to see one. Reply
You didn’t miss much. And I slept through Harry Potter 2, and went to see it again a month later, and realised I hadn’t missed much (HP3 was so much better). BTW, WTF was that critic thinking, putting the whole story in the review? Reply
i googled for something completely different, but found your page… and have to say thanks. i like your site. Reply
