✿The Comfort Zone ✿

I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn't fail.
The same four walls and busy work were really more like a jail.
I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before.
But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.

I said it didn't matter that I wasn't doing much.
I said I didn't care for things like commission cheques and such.
I claimed to be so busy with things inside my zone.
But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.

I couldn't let my life go by just watching others win.
I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.
I took a step and with new strength I'd never felt before.
I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.

If you're in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out.
Remember that all winners were at one time with doubt.
A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.
Reach for your future with a smile - Success is there for you.

Playful Kiss

Title: Playful Kiss
Type: Korean Drama
Genre: Romance, School
Episodes: 16
Cast: Jung So Min, Kim Hyung Joong

Synopsis:

Based on the popular manga, Oh Ha Ni is a clumsy student who falls the perfectionist, Baek Seung Jo. However Seung Jo is indifferent towards her and rejects her love. When Ha Ni's house collapses, she and her father move into his long-time friend's house. It turns out that Seung Jo is the friend's son and Ha Ni is given the opportunity to be near the guy she loves. Will she be able to move Seung Jo's heart?



Review:

I wanted to LOVE this drama. Why? I wanted to watch something that's romantic and funny, with beautiful lead actors. This is my second drama with Kim Hyung Joong and I must say he definitely improved since Boys Over Flower but I felt like he was still slightly restrained, I wasn't getting as much from him as I wanted and compared to Jung So Min, he really didn't have presence. But thumbs up for the slight improvement!



As for Jung So Min, I think she really carried this drama throughout its run. Despite her weird crazy obsession, she was more likable and less helpless. I was glad that Ha Ni could do some things by herself and not seem so helpless and less annoying. She really embodied that character and I think she is showing her range as an actress. I do want to see more of her.



 Honestly...I'm not sure if I would recommend this to anyone unless they have nothing to do and want to watch for the sake of Kim Hyung joong.

✿ Mere Brother Ki Dulhan ✿

Title: Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
Release Date: 09 Sep 2011
Genre: Comedy - Romance
Language: Hindi
Director: Ali Abbas Zafar
Producer: Aditya Chopra   
Cast:
Imran Khan as Khush Agnihotri
Katrina Kaif as Dimple Dixit
Ali Zafar as Luv Agnihotri



It's more than obvious with a self-explanatory title like Mere Brother Ki Dulhan that the story of the film would be about a guy falling for his brother's bride-to-be. Predictability seeps in this Yash Raj romantic comedy from the title itself!

When Imran Khan does a takeoff on the three ruling Khans of Bollywood in the opening credits, you somehow sense that the film has defined its domain. And it isn't long before you realize that the narrative is taking the route of Shah Rukh Khan's Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge . By the time the boy comprehends his love for the girl, she is already engaged to someone else. Only this time it's the boy's brother – so it's more of an inhouse affair!

Luv (Ali Zafar) is the casanova brother of Kush (Imran Khan). Luv works in London, while Kush is an assistant director in Hindi films. After one more of his many break-ups, Luv phones his brother asking him to find a bride for him because he wants to marry before Christmas and he has proved to be a failure in choosing the right girl.

 Luv's reasoning of asking his brother to find him a dulhan is simple - their tastes have always been similar. As kids, they both loved Madhuri Dixit! I am not very sure on how to react on that as a reason for sure...




It was predictable..but I watched it because it was funny and entertaining!! Here is the teaser:

✿2PM - Hands Up✿

Along side with Big Bang and TVXQ, 2PM is another KPOP group whom is very captivating on stage.
Their song " Hands Up" is a fast beat dance number which I enjoy.

Turn on some blaring music
Everyone put your hands up and get your drinks up
Go crazy with the whole world
Everyone put your hands up and get your drinks up
Now, put your hands up, put your hands up put, put, put, put, put

Raise the volume until the speakers burst
and all together go crazy until you lose your minds
Shake your whole body and lose your minds

Together all night,
all the people who agree with me mansei,
until the end of tonight keep running
Giddy up! Giddy up! You know what I’m sayin’
this is an energy restoring tonic you hear with your ears
The catalyst that explodes the party, dancing all night under the lights,
They go together exactly, aren’t I right

Here we go here we go constantly running and
Right now it’s barely midnight, the sunrise is still far away
So lets have one more glass and start again

Before the sun rises absolutely do not cut off the music, DJ take care of tonight
“Oppa I can trust you OK?” Yes Sir, I won’t say I’m leaving first
Lets all have another glass together. One shot. Everyone lets go.

Don’t stop Tonight empty all thoughts and all have fun together

✿Shahid Kapoor on HT Brunch✿

He isn’t the easiest star to deal with. Or so say many people who have worked with him. He has the reputation of being ‘difficult.’ And he doesn’t even try to defend himself. But in this interview, actor Shahid Kapoor finally comes clean.



Blame it on youth or sudden fame, he promises to improve, to loosen up... something he says he learnt from Kunal Kohli, the director of his latest film Teri Meri Kahaani. Here’s the man. Coming clean. Completely:

Reclusive, arrogant, difficult, snobbish… what’s with this reputation?
(Laughs) I really don’t know. I know I have a reputation that is not so flattering, but I guess I owe it to just being a private person. I don’t mean anyone harm and I’m not being mean. I just don’t socialise much, I don’t party too much, I don’t know what to say to the media if I’m not talking about a film that I am doing, so yeah, maybe I am perceived as a snob. But I assure you, I am working hard to improve all this.

Come on, isn’t “being private” the best excuse for being “difficult” or maybe “temperamental”?
Okay, let’s put it in perspective. Yes, I agree I wasn’t very easy going by temperament. But remember, I was just 22 when I started out. Think about it, I was fresh from a regular middle-class family, with no “star type” background and I was suddenly thrown into the limelight; it was a big thing. I was overwhelmed.

If that wasn’t enough, I got into a serious, very public relationship. Fame hit me suddenly. But by nature, I was rather shy and an introvert. Add to it the fact that my father is Pankaj Kapur, who is the most serious and focused actor. So, of course I didn’t know any better. Taking things seriously was the only way I knew. Now, I am learning that that is not the only way to be. Sure, you can loosen up. I think I’m going back in time now – from a man to a boy.

You were very young when you came into the industry, but your directors seemed to feel that you were opinionated. You interfered with their film making. And your co-stars felt you were unfriendly and arrogant.
I don’t know if I can call it interfering but I sure was sceptical about a lot of things. I was new and didn’t want to take too many risks. And fortunately or unfortunately, I was also working with a lot of new filmmakers. So yes, I was apprehensive. And I did ask questions and gave my opinions. That, I am sure, would have created some discomfort.

About being arrogant with co-stars, I blame it on my being a great boyfriend. I was in a four-and-a half-year long relationship and was very committed. I did not find any reason nor did I have the time to socialise or make friends otherwise. Now, I have learnt better. And I shall not be the most wonderful boyfriend. (Laughs).


You regret your relationship with Kareena Kapoor?
(Smiles) I don’t look back. I am happy the way things happened and the way things are now. I am in a very good space. That’s all that matters.

Talking of your romance, you also have a loverboy image. Why are you linked with every heroine you work with?
You tell me, why? I don’t know. I think it’s just one of those things about being a part of the film industry. Yes, looking back I have been linked to each of my heroines.

Could it be the PR machinery, working towards creating a buzz?
But how? In fact, if at all, shouldn’t they be working the other way round, trying to curb the rumours? I would prefer it like that. But to clear the air, I haven’t been in a serious relationship in the last two years.

VidyaYou’ve also created a lot of controversies with your co-stars, what with calling Vidya Balan fat or being at Priyanka Chopra’s house in shorts during the Income Tax raid...
Vidya first. I have to get this straight today. I never, never called her fat. It wasn’t a misquote. In fact, there was no quote at all. I don’t know where that came from. I am far too cultured to be disrespectful to a woman. I wouldn’t and I didn’t.

And Priyanka, yeah, I was at her place. We live in the same building. When she heard of the raid, she called me because I am a friend and I was the closest at the time, and I went. And I was in my shorts and T-shirt. Something that I was wearing at home. What was I expected to do? Change into my best suit and welcome the IT guys? For heaven’s sake, why did my shorts become such a big deal? I wasn’t standing there naked!

You’ve had some of the biggest hits (Ishq Vishq, Jab We Met, Kaminey), yet you seem to be one of the most underrated actors in the industry.
I’m glad people feel I am underrated. Look, I started very young. I have seen success and bad failures. Now, I’m 31. Everybody has to struggle. I was an outsider, so I had my share of it too. It is my time now. Hopefully!

Talking of failures, Mausam would have been a bad hit…
You know, any rejection is heart breaking, but when that rejection comes after two years of unconditional love and nurturing, it becomes really sour. Mausam was just that. We worked on it for two years.

Pankaj KapurUnfortunately, we got just two months to do post-production and I think that took a toll. Yes, I agree it could have been much shorter. A two-hour, 50-minute film just doesn’t work today. But when I look back, I feel bad, but I am glad I did the film. It gave me two years of blissful family time. Something that I had missed always.

You keep calling yourself an “outsider” but both your parents are actors…
...but not in the “commercial” sense of the word, right? Mom was essentially a theatre person, she did some films and TV mainly. Dad was never very mainstream. And my upbringing was never the flamboyant ‘actor ka beta’ type. In fact, far from it.

What was it like?
Very, very middle class. My parents were separated. I lived with my mother in Delhi for the first 10 years of my life and studied in Gyan Bharti Public School. I was very close to my maternal grandfather. Those were tough days. I have never lived in a house that was mine. I have always lived in rented accommodation. There were days when we didn’t have enough money to fill petrol. So we walked.

I was also conscious about the fact that I was the only son of a single mother, so there was this huge sense of responsibility. I think that’s where my being an introvert comes from. I was very conscious of what to do and what not to do. It wasn’t really a carefree childhood.

Did you miss your father?
Somewhere I tried to understand. Dad was in Mumbai, and at that time, it wasn’t the easiest thing to travel to Delhi at the drop of a hat. Taking a flight wasn’t the cheapest option and travel was difficult. Of course I had my insecurities and vulnerable moments. But in hindsight, it also made me more responsible. And somehow, more positive. I treated it like a problem… “dad isn’t around, period! So what is the way to get past it?” – that was my attitude. I didn’t sit and wallow in it. That was the time I grew up suddenly – from a boy to a man.

Your relationship with your parents also gets talked about often…
It does. And as casually as anything else. People should be a little more sensitive about things… For me, it is complicated. I don’t have a regular happy family like most people. My parents are separated, my dad married someone else and so did my mom. All my siblings are from my parents’ other marriages. So yes, it is complicated and I don’t like talking about it or explaining this to everybody.

But all this doesn’t stop us from being close to each other. I am very close to both my parents. And my siblings are far younger than I am, so I am like their father. A lot of times I know questions are being asked and things are written just for kicks. So I don’t respond. Especially when it’s speculation.

When did you learn to dance ?
Will you believe it, I was a bathroom dancer till my college years. Then I somehow joined Shiamak Davar’s troupe and it all started. And till recently, I believed that I was a great dancer, till my brother Ishaan called me “passé” and showed me some new steps. Man! I wanted to run to save my job!

So who is the real Shahid? And why don’t we see him more often?
I am a good boy. Sweet. I love to chill. I have a select set of friends, am big on house music, love Goa. I don’t read much. Though that is one habit I am trying to inculcate. But the last time I read a book with great interest (Life Is Fair), I turned vegetarian! So it’s tricky, I wouldn’t want to give up too much.

 

The lover boy and his leading ladies

Kareena Kapoor
Amazingly talented. All the appreciation she is getting now has been long overdue.

Vidya Balan
Who said I called her fat? She is a very fine actor and a wonderful co-star. And wow! Hasn’t she rediscovered herself? And how!

Priyanka Chopra
Very talented, very sharp, positive and a team player. One of the best co-stars you could have.

Sonam Kapoor
Great fun to work with. She taught me all about clothes. In fact a lot of what I wear even now was suggested by her.

Anushka Sharma
Bahut lecture deti hai yaar! She is ready with her lecture on any and everything. I thought, being a senior, I would tell her how to go about things, but damn, I didn’t even get a chance. Good fun and a great actress.

They make the best films. I love these guys

Imtiaz Ali, Director, Jab We Met
One of the finest talents in the film industry. He is a genius of a filmmaker.

Vishal Bhardwaj, Director, Kaminey
Will give my right arm and leg to work with him again. He is the master of the game. Am waiting eagerly for the next film we can work on.

Kunal Kohli, Director, Teri Meri Kahaani
The easiest director I have worked with. Very talented, great fun. Taught me not to take myself so seriously. Made me loosen up and enjoy situations.

Pankaj Kapur, Director, Mausam
By far the finest actor in the industry. I’ve learnt so much from him. In fact most of what I know in terms of anything comes from him. He is unbelievably focused.

Parmeet Sethi, Director, Badmaash Company
Very dedicated. Knows exactly what he wants. Made a wonderful debut film. A very capable filmmaker.

From HT Brunch, June 24

✿DoN’t Let Go of HopE ✿

Hope gives you the strength to keep going when you feel like giving up.

Don’t ever quit believing in yourself.
As long as you believe you can, you will have a reason for trying.

Don’t let anyone hold your happiness in their hands; hold it in your own, so it will
always be within your reach.

Don’t measure success or failure by material wealth, but by how you feel.
Our feelings determine the riches in our lives.

Don’t let bad moments overcome you. Be patient, and they will pass.

Don’t hesitate to reach out for help; we all need it from time to time.

Don’t runaway from Love, but towards love; because it is our deepest joy.

Don’t wait for what you want to come to you.
Go after it with all that you are; knowing that life will meet you half way.

Don’t feel like you’ve lost when plans and dreams fall short of your hopes.

Anytime you learn something new about yourself, or about life, you have progressed.

Don’t do anything that takes away from your self-respect.
Feeling good about yourself is essential to feeling good about life.

Don’t ever forget how to laugh or be too proud to cry.
It is by doing both that we live life to the fullest. ✿‿✿

Here they go again..

They created the history by being the defending champions for Euro 2012, after retaining their title..They are the World Champions..

Despite the fact of being critised for the way they play their game...I believe they are still the BEST team in the world and they show you exactly how it is done.

✿ I May Never See Tomorrow ✿

I may never see tomorrow, There's no written guarantee..And things that happened yesterday, Belong to history..I may never see tomorrow, But this moment is my own..It's mine to use or cast aside, The choice is mine alone..I cannot predict the future, I cannot change the past..I have just the present moment, I must treat it as my last..I must use the moment wisely, For it soon will pass away..And be lost to me forever, As part of yesterday..I must exercise compassion, Help the fallen to their feet..Be a friend unto the friendless, Make an empty life complete..

Kind words I fail to say this day, Can never be unsaid..For I know not how short the path may be, That before me lies ahead..The unkind things I do today, May never be undone. Any friendships that I fail to win, May nevermore be won.. I may not have another chance, On bended knee to pray..
And I thank God with humble heart, For giving me this day..I have just this precious moment, In the sunlight of today..Where the sunlight of tomorrow, Meets the dusk of my yesterday.
