100 Days...A sure hit !


A traditional bollywood thriller made in 1991, but one of its first in many categories. Excellent performances by all the crew members but it is the director and lead actors who hold it together extremely well, even seeming tightly focused overall. Many unexpected twists and turns but at the end everything seems under control. Had its own lighter and romantic part too and immediately connecting to families and particularly to younger audiences. Media played a significant role in publicizing by photos, reviews and constantly playing the popular numbers from it. The tone is definitely in sharp contrast to work done by some of its predecessor aka RGV and Ramsay Brothers, so shares some inevitable criticism from that sector too.

Overall an impressive work by debutant director Partho Ghosh...and a welcome change and declared a HIT by the public and scoring 4 out of 5!

And...if you reached here accidentally, while searching for "100 days of BO's scorecard" you did not miss much. Believe me.

Freaking Cats Hiding Dogs

Have you ever wondered how some phrases you come across suddenly..and then it stays with you for long.

It has been few nights since caught this offbeat news item on AC360..and it still makes me laugh.....Worth sharing.

A lady siting in her office turns on the webcam in her home just to see that two strangers burgling her house. Calls 911 and operator asks her to stay on the line and describe what see is seeing while police is on their way.

"Okay, here's just one. He's running to the front. The other one is trying to figure out which way to go. The cat's freaked out. The dogs are hiding. My God. This is crazy. They've got things in their hands."

I might forget about this weird news item...but will hardly ever forget about those Freaking Cats and Hiding Dogs.

Race to Million: Recount Request

It is more than 4 days now, but still I am finding it so hard to digest the fact that one celebrity figure could beat CNN. I was hoping to see some recount request in web...but not yet.. looks like all just gave in to the fact that Twitter, which started primarily for sharing news has been HIJACKED by the these celebrities (latest being Oprah!)...and like many others I am concerned for its future.

But wait...why we cant raise a request for recount. I think one point has been ignored so far, and just like any other valid election we shall take that into account too. Don't count the users who are following both aplusk and cnnbrk. Right? It should have been unique users for both of this acct. Simple point.....isnt it.

I suddenly miss my skills in these web based software etc...else it is not a tough task to find out the number of users who followed both aplusk and cnnbrk....and VOID their count.

Let the Race begin again after that (But please not take back those mosquito bed nets. That was the best possible outcome of this circus...I think.)
