A Late Criticism Of the BlockBuster Movie Dhoom 2

Posted on Monday, April 30, 2007 by Arun Basil Lal

Dear Readers ...
I have tried to do something different this time. I have critisized the movie DHOOM 2 [Bollywood]. I hope you will enjoy reading this.
Please note that i donot have any realtion with this movie. I really enjoyed this movie and appericiates their creative work. This must be considered as healthy criticism. Here they goes one by one....

* In the beginning Hritik Roshan [ Aaryan ] is shown to land via a parachute on a moving train . The train looks like a bullet train. It is very clear that his parachute is wide open behind him. One would not be able to stand on the top of such a train with a parchute wide open. He would be carried away by the wind.

* When Hritick goes to steal the diamond he is shown to stand in between some sculpture work. But how he reached there in between tight security and lots of cams and how did he make his exit is not shown. It would be really hard to reach there and get out of there unnoticed.

* Hritick tells Aishwarya Rai [ Sunaina ] to jump from the top of a cliff. A rope immediately appears in the view. From where did that come..?

* The coins in the museum are stolen from a sealed container in the presence of poilce. How did they do that..? The movie does not explain that.

* The coins were stolen from a museum in some exotic place ( I mean not in India ). But the Chase in the tunnel looks like India. Look at the cars there and the truck. So did Abhishek Bachan  [ Inspecter Jay ] and Uday Chopra [ Ali ] follow them all the way to India..? And did Hritick drive to India on the superbike..?

* In the Tunnel chase at the end Hritick is being followed by Abhi and Uday ... In between the chaise hritick shoots a big trailer and the trailer blocks the way and some cars crash on to it. In the next scene abhi and uday are shown to stop just in front of the trailer. Where did all the cars go..?

* Just after that ash sets the helicopter on fire with a bomb and abhi and uday are shown to make thir way out of the fire. When the helicopter was first shown its doors were closed. It would be impossible to open both the side doors of that copter and make that jumb in between the explosion. Remember they did that jumb really fast too.

* Hritick makes a jump from a cliff on his bike and opens his parachute. Abhi comes there and jumps the same jump and cathes Hritick in between thier flight. Remember Hritick made his jump with a superbike which was moving at a speed of atleast 150 kmph and Abhi made his jump by just running 3-4 meteres and made the distance. That looks impossible unless Abhi is really good at making really Loooong Jumps.

* Towards the end of the movie Hritick is shown to fall from a cliff bearing 3 bullets on his chest. But he comes back in the next scene without any explanation.

Hope you agree with these. All these adjustments have to be done in making Movies. But they have to keep improving to reach perfection.
Do not forget to post your comments.
Its your comments that make me work harder towards my blog.

Blogging vs Life : The Inverse Law Of Usenet Bandwidth

Posted on Sunday, April 29, 2007 by Arun Basil Lal

Hellow dear reader
Some time before I read in The Reader's Digest that the Life of a blogger has got inverse realtionship with his blogging. It read like this....

" The more intresting your life becomes, the less you post, and vice versa "
[ As formulated by Jorn Barger, who started blogging in 1997 in the Robot Wisdom Blog.. extracted from The Reader's Digest of September 2006 ]

I have found that it is very true in my case. When my life was really empty I choose to blog and when my was colourful again I couldnt find enough time to blog. Look at the frequency of my posts in the last two months. College and Friends kept me engaged and I couldnt find enough time. Now that its the mid summer vacation I am back in action...
But this cannot mean that full time preofessional bloggers like Amit Agarwal of Digital Inspiration do not have a intresting life. For him blogging is his life. I do this as a hobby, but I always try to make it a part of my Life...
See u all really soon...

Key in *#2820# and your phone will display the bluetooth address of the device.

As per the user-manuel the code is of no use for devices that hav a user interface but for those device without any user interface ( like some medical application devices ) with bluetooth this code can come handy.

Do remember that this code works for mobile phones that have bluetooth connectivity.
