adventures of No. 1,2 and 3 - I

there r days..and there r no days..
on a particular sad 'no day' u r mind craves for adventure..
specially if ur caught up in the dungeons of the dark lord (i revere him a lot :D but its not always fun to be in his 'company') !

so, the three death eaters (the protagonists, we will call them No.1,2 and 3 for the sake of simplicity), the rebellious lot, u see; bored of the mundane ramblings with the dark lord, decided to flee on this particular sad 'no day', and enjoy the sunshine..
the monotony of dark lord's tyranny (misnomer for 'no work' :D) had taken the fun out of their lives and the adveturists were looking forward to this escapade !
the plan was purrfect (this is exactly wat the order also thought when they had rescued potter from the dursleys..muhahaha...)
(in the fake version u see :D)

the idea was this : they had planned to watch a muvi (thats wat muggles call the high octane drama, in which people love,hate,fight,dance and manage to do a lot of activity, in a matter of some hours!) Well, r death eaters had a softer (read melodramatic and emotional!) side to them and loved doing these humanly activities (like watching muvis :) ). But no one had an easy escape from the dark lord's eyes!

the only hitch in the plan lied in getting away from the dark lord's citadel in a hushed manner! that involved a lot of courage u know, as they were all bound by the dark talismans, which tracked their activities inside the citadel! this needed a master plan, but these rebels had none..
so while trying to decide on what to do, they came out of the fortress just like that! plain!
no one noticed them escaping! (proves one thing though, all these, talismans and all are mind games :D) Still not believing themselves, they first decided to apparate! but no one took second chance with the dark lord! they decided to go the muggle way and took an autorikshaw. Now its an interesting means of transportation, given the three wheels it has to balance its somewhat rotund shape and the black box inside it, which constantly changes numbers more than the rate at which dark lord turns people to his side (thats astonishing, thought no. 2, must tell this to his excellency to gain his confidence!) More interesting was the species who drove that thing, thought no. 1. He was making a never ending raucous about the money (thats wat they use to buy and sell stuff in muggle land!) they needed to pay for the journey. (Must enslave him as the specimen of the annoying muggle, thought no. 1, who was in charge of 'educating-death-eaters-on-muggle-kind') No.3 being a bit short tempered thought about cursing him with freezing charm, but no. 2 wriggled 3 out of it, as life offered more exciting adventurous, according to 2!
They reached the muvi hall in what they thought was eons compared to their standards :D
and in half desperation to not let No.3 curse the irate driver and get their identities revealed and land up in trouble!
They took some time to get accustomed to the muggle atmosphere and entered the hall looking as innocent as, a person, who has farted in public and thinks no one noticed ! :D
The muvi appealed to these poor souls given their emotional range of a tablespoon! They were howling with laughter at every stupid joke and singing and clapping loudly to every song! When they left the hall, they were the last in a crowd of 20!
Wait up! It just contentedly does not end here!
There is one twist remaining in this awe inspiring tale of courage and determination! :D
No. 2 s secret beeper started beeping, it was an emergency message from the dark land..they were being searched for there, for a task left unfinished by dumb No. 2! Oh no...they could not apparate, as twas only one way! this was a catch 22 situation..No. 2 knew she had left her task of testing new muggle burning serum unfinished, without documenting the results. But as she had also wanted to go for this adventure dint tell it to anyone! Totally sympathizing with her case, 1 and 3 decided to take the chance and started their way back on to the dark fort! As lord lucky singh was on their side, they caught hold of a nitebus. As they say "with the grace of lucky singh", the driver was new in this land, and knew nothing of them, so without any doubt transported them back to the fortress! The royal guards of the fortress had thought that 1,2,3 had outer world duty that day, so had no questions about their whereabouts! (2 fell in love with lucky singh that very moment!)
No.2 quietly finished her work and returned to sanity!
the escapade had been eventful and successful and a great adventure indeed! :)

P.S. this is an animated version of the incident when i along with my friends bunked office to go for a movie and were caught up in a soup! :) i know readers dont mind the torture! :D

odyssey of the unwaba ....

Unwaba revelations (third part of game world trilogy) is released sometime in dec..
an all india release is not done/planned by the publisher..dunno y?? :S

so i go to the nearest bookstore (odyssey by dunno who) and ask for a copy..
fine its not available..so i place an order..they say within a week the book will be available and i ll receive a call..
i dont get any call..and as m dying to read the final installation of the fantabulous book, i go to the book store and inquire bout status of my order..
i m told to wait for another week as the book s not available (though the publishers have a store house in my city!)
for two more weeks i dont contact them..
and when today finally i go and ask them about its status (trying to act angry..at which i was badddd :() i get confused (actually smirks..cos of the book s name :-\) looks from the store people..
amazingly they dont have any record of my order in their computer database (from where they actually track the books and orders ) though they had one in their so called register..FANTASTIC!! i must say..

{
hate their guts when they open such big stores and provide null customer satisfaction!!
what on the face of the earth were they thinking while opening the shop..
}

i scrap my order..come home in a furious state and place an online order immediately..
the thing i should have done 3 weeks back..hoping to have my hands on the copy by this weekend!! :)

in the mean time ll catch jokovich-hewitt clash tom..
its going to be one heavenly encounter :D
till then..ciao :)

love actually ...

saw this movie for the umpteenth time today..
can not stop smiling :):)
the movie is so endearing that it makes u feel gooood just about everything !!
may be its the simplicity of 'love', shown through an extremely complex set of stories and cast which are interwoven intelligently, that, it clicks !
the story of aurelia and jamie clicked most to me..though its a bit fairytalish types (dreamy me cant help falling for such stuff u know :D or may be its the charm of colin firth!) the story is just beautiful..makes u believe in true love !! :)
the father-son (daniel and sam) and singer-manager (billy and joe) stories stand equally close..i give both of them the second place..the platonic love between billy and joe is something u hardly get to watch these days..and the father-son duo are just too cool to get ignored..plus the way their relation's progress is shown is too believable, considering daniel s the step father of sam, both fighting for their own love, one's lost and one's budding !!
well after this i dont have any personal favorites :)
though Hugh Grant is charming as always with his thick british accent and as the young, dynamic statesman..oh the Prime Minister !!
the treatment to the plot is superb..laced with witty,funny,sarcasm bhare dialogs its the perfect british film! it aught to be actually as most of the janta in there is British :) and plus the point that its set around x'mas season, makes it even more adorable..the spirit of the festive season is shown just in the right way..with the xmas lightings shown in and around every corner,the carol singers,the nativity play,the gift shops..oooh the excitement is overwhelming !!

Richard Curtis (the director and screenplaywriter) is well known and appreciated for his talent..this is the golden (may be platinum, heard its rarer and costlier :D) feather in this chicken's hat !

its one of those wonderful movies which raises ur spirits and makes u believe that..
love actually is all around :)
