popcorn flicks - post 858

Hi, of the films released in 3rd quarter (oct - dec) - I liked only Phas Gaya Re Obama and Actionn Replayy - I also liked Guzaarish in bits 'n' parts. No Problem that opened today is utter crap. I am told Anushka is a revelation in Band Baaja Baraat will catch up BBB tomorrow.

The day was hectic with a bit of scripting and meeting up with old friends.

An actress dropped in from Philippines and I took her out lunching at Berco's - God! Berco's in CP has changed a lot - but the taste of fruit beer remains the same. I got addicted to it, thanks to the time I was working with a news-channel. The evenings were spent in Berco's.

It was a time when I wasn't as widely traveled as I am today and for me Berco's was a favorite hangout.

This post has started reeking of nostalgia, anyways, nostalgia is sometimes good in life.
