My two cents : It’s a pleasure to drive this vehicle, on road and off road.

bits and pieces

Well… an eventful weekend for me I must say…

ROCK ON !! Rocked… I am getting the DVD to add to my collection.. I loved Farhan… He is one talented human being.. Hope to see more of him onscreen and behind the screen…

I loved the songs, loved the simplistic script and very simple story telling… sometimes.. we need this..

Sometimes its not about great acting.. or great direction…sometimes a crazy mix just works and the theme of the movie just strikes a chord..will take a lot of us down memory lane.

Also it made me think of what dreams we have given up to grow into the adult that we were supposed to be ??

At the age of 20 / 22 we did really think that we could conquer anything..

It totally took me down nostalgia lane.. :)
I have totally banged my head on this… too good.. Ok I am totally taken by the songs and the movie.. hahah !!

And who said that you cant look good wearing formals and singing rock songs… Totally Hot..

And this really gives me the goosebumps….

On a different note :

  1. Bacardi gives me a hangover… I should stick to Vodka. My head is still feeling a little woozy but I am doing fine.. he he !!
  2. I can survive on momos and momos only..
  3. My Bolero’s battery went dead and well that too in the middle of Marathalli.. and it was at peak traffic time.. sigh.. totally embarassed then got used to everyone giving us ” The look” which said.. oh  !! now we will see how you manage hahahah !!! but thanks to friends we did push start it… all you fast petrol cars.. know this.. diesel engine is much easier to push start.. buhahahah !!!!  ( OK I am generally feeling euphoric because I did not have to keep standing in the middle of the heavy traffice hahah !! )
  4. Distilled water is 3/- in a battery shop and 18/- in a petrol bunk.. :O
  5. In case of battery problems.. do call BatMobile Exide on Road Service. They will come and check your car for free and home deliver the battery and fit it as well…The service is currently available from 7 am  till midnight, seven days a week.
    For Bat Mobile service in Bangalore, simply dial: 32711111

    My Bolero is now 5 years old and done more than 50,000 kms… so I guess its time.. for a change…  :)
