Bond starts with a bang!
100% rating.
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/casino_royale/
I think studios have figured out how to rig the scoring on this site. Even "Crank", the absolute worst movie I had the misfortune of seeing, had a 100% rating
But this 1 looks like its going to kick some butt :D

Summer of 69
Found from a friend's friend's blog :D
I had my first real six rupees,
stole it from my father's pants.
went to a madrasi hotel,
to eat the sambhar of 69.
Me and some kadke dost,had it all
and we caught bukhaar
,jimy puked, joey got ulcers,
and Bagga ne maari dakar.
Oh when I went back there now,
the food was as stale as ever,
and though it was 1999,
still the sambhar was being served over there,
that was the worst food of my life.
Therez no use in complaining,
when you got no other place to eat,
rushed in the evening to the doctors clinic,
but he too was at the toilet seat,
yeahstanding there waiting outside,
nurse told me I will wait forever,
oh and when I held my breath,I
knew that I had to use that loo there
That was the worst food of my life.

Kill the demon in you
Ram bas bhakton nahi shatru ki bhi chintan mein hai
Dekh tyajke paap Raavan, Ram tere man mein hai
Man se Raavan jo nikaale Ram uske man mein hai.
Happy Dussehra.

I can't wait to c this 1
"Toplined by DiCaprio, Damon, and Nicholson (all in good form), this superlative crime-gangster film, loosely based on Infernal Affairs, reinvents the genre with a uniquely American saga that represents Scorsese's best movie since the 1990 GoodFellas!"
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/departed/
It has started with a 100% fresh rating..(BTW, so did Crank, I saw the movie and it totally sucked). But I think this will be 1 real good pop-corn movie :D

I had been tagged :(
Ok main jab tak bore nahin ho jaata, tab tak karoonga, fir band kar doonga.
1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn on page 18 and find line 4.
'Sh-h!' said the stage manager. (Guess the book :) )
2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can.
Feels like, "Chaand taare tod laoon"
3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
Andaz Apna Apna -
ShyamGopal Bajaj - "Teja main hoon, sabke patte bichha doonga"
RamGopal Bajaj - "Teja main hoon, mark idhar hai"
Crimemaster Gogo - "Ye Teja Teja kya hai, Ye Teja Teja?"
Skipping some questions...
8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at?
Another such survey.
Skipping some more...
13. Seen anything weird lately?
Yes, people fill these surveys and ask others to do it as well.
14. What do you think of this quiz?
My mom used to say, agar khaali time ho to bhagwaan ka naam lena chahiye, now I totally believe in what she said.
15. What is the last film you saw?
Arre bolaa to Andaz Apna Apna.
16. If you became a multimillionaire overnight, what would you buy?
A world trip with India as the last halt.
17. Tell me something about you that I dunno.
Stupid question, the answer is subject to who the reader is.
23. Would you ever consider living abroad?
Yes, I would. Because the little kid wants to explore the world.
24. What do you want GOD to say to you when you reach the pearly gates?
That is like the final review and I have been told one should not discuss the conversations from the review meetings.
25... Forget it, no more victims.

"Raid my house" party
Dudes and duddets,
I barely have a week more to empty my condo. Most of the furniture is already sold but there are still a lot of things remaining. Things right from wood art, paints, old prints, (cheap) pictures, crockery set and kitchen appliances. They all are in good condition and have been looked after with love and affection.
I can throw them away but would rather find a nice home for them. Why don't you guys stop by this weekend and see if you like anything. I think Saturday evening will be the best day. While you are up to it, we can also check out some neighborhood bars/restaurant or drive up to Alki later in the night.
What say?

Best day of your life
... when you got to meet me. (Dami, How many shaane points do I get for this?)
Mary: You are the most fortunate of the bunch. I think I saw you for the first time in the 1st year engineering class in the August of 1996. Gosh! It’s been more than 10 years. I suddenly feel old today.
Arati: I don’t remember when I first met you, but I do remember talking to you on the phone sometime in the July of 1998. That was the first time I played counselor in my life. See I completely changed your life :P. (Thik hai! Thik hai! ... you don’t have to thank me so much)
Abhishek Ram: This was in the 2nd week of August in 2000. Poor guy was put up in my apartment. (What a shock he much have received; first time in US and first time meeting me. Don’t know which one was worse)
Dami: Tech city bowl - (Usi din samaz gaya tha ki Dami Don se kam nahi hai)
Ankur Gupta: Dude! You are just right about the date. (Us din to bohot shareef lag raha tha! Unfortunately I didnt know better)
Vaishali, Gayatri: I think I was with Mary and Arati when I picked both of you for dinner.
Shankar: Couple of weeks after Mt. Rainier climb (end of July '06). I think it was at Mary's place.

Meri baari :)
Let me tell you the most unfortunate day in life of these people (when they met me :P)
1. Arati (Oct 12, 2005) - Rohit told me that a girl called Arati would be joining and I am supposed to help this girl since it would be her first time when she would be leaving India. (Note, this used to be a major headache for the search team then, ki ek akeli, bechaari ladki ko bulaa to liyaa India se, but how would she manage in this country :D )
2. Mary ( Jan 27, 2006 ) - Rang De Basanti.
3. Abhishek Agrawal (Feb 12, 2006) - Went to his place with Mary and Arati from where we all went to pike place market.
4. Dami (Feb 25, 2006) - Saw him at RDB as well but met later at Arati didi's place about a month later.
5. Abhishek Ram (May 19, 2006) - At other Abhishek's place, then we all went for dinner to some mediterranean place and then later to some bar.
6. Vaishali, G3, Vandana,... (June 23, 2006) - Fanaa at dami's place. (Why was Shankar not present there?)
7. Prachi (June 25, 2006) - Me, Prachi and Dami went to a hike to ... (I forgot the name of the trail, someone can add it as a comment) followed by some nicely cooked chapatis at her place. They were really good. :)
8. Shankar(June 25, 2006) - Shankar also I met the same day at Dami's place.
1. Arati (Oct 12, 2005) - Rohit told me that a girl called Arati would be joining and I am supposed to help this girl since it would be her first time when she would be leaving India.

First Impressions
Where I met people in Seattle and the first thing that struck me about them!!
Vaishali ... at Parks, when i came to see the apmt. In fact, I saw her shoe collection before seeing her.
Dami ... Met him the day i came to see the Parks apmt. The thing I still remember about him is that he was introduced to me as 'Dami' and not Damodar!
Mary ... I just cannot recollect when !!!!??? Mary, can you?
Skylar ... I met him in my office, when he came to ask me about interview details and my team's info. The thing i remember about him is he knew my management better than I did.
Skylar, you forgot, v. bad! che! che!
Abhishek Ram, Abhishek, Arati ... the day we saw the Rajinikanth movie in ARam's house. This is a 'Hindi' crowd, I thought.
Ankur ... were you there at ARam's house too?
Prachi ... when she came to meet Imti. Her hair style struck me most :)
did I miss anyone?

Imti met in WSU on walk fm my apartment towards Engineering building , Aug 2001.
Prachi- In Sep 2003, she came to see my apartment with her old roomie, to see parks apartment. Maybe she was talking too much Hindi. She even asked for water formally: "can I get some water?" :)
Mary- I met in front of my parks apartment, in early summer 2004. She just then got out of Prachi's car and I saw her outside.
Shankar- I met when Supreeth & he were moving to lakes; helped him move a bit too; after moving for couple of hours, I was hungry, had milk (stolen from office) from shankar's fridge :).
G3- Met in parks parking lot, along with VC and Srivi in November 2005 - went to Udipi for dinner.
Arati- in late January, 2006 at Totel Lake Cinemas, when we all watched 'RDB' movie. She was sitting in a row or two behind me. Others at theater with me: g3, mj, ramk. I remeber the UTV banner starting on screen, a girl's hand spearding colors, and ramk saying 'rang de basanti' :)
Abhishek (&ARam)- went with mj and arati to tech city bowling, in Feb 2006, a day before super bowl.
Ankur- in Feb,2005, at arati's place. First time, I went to arati's place for dinner I guess. Don't remember what exaclty but he cracked a PJ for sure :)

Title
No no, the title should be a little less nostalgic. It should be:
Seattle: Home away from Home. :)

Reagarding title again
WE should have something on the lines of "sleepless in seattle"

Ghar Se Door in Seattle
Okay, as usual I dont have much to say now... I'll start with something
Movies I want to see in next few days/weeks/months...
1. Lage Raho Munnabhai: After hearing good comments from several people in India and US, it feels maybe I should watch this one.
If I see in next 2 weeks, thats good :)
And if I don't see in next 2 weeks, I'll be happy to see the movie on tape for just $1. :)
2. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest Well.. I have been wanting to the second part of Pirates fun journey.... Seems to be postponed till DVD comes out.
