Well, Windows Vista was launched today so I headed over to Wiki to take a look at the features . And boy, am I excited!!! Windows Aero makes the desktop look so much better. I love the translucent menus! Eye candy for sure!
But Windows Vista Basic looks good too; though it doesn't have same looks as the Standard version. They're giving Media Player 11 with it. I had downloaded 11 beta before I reformatted my computer and it was nifty! Graphics and clarity was amazing. And I liked the' search as you type' option too. I'm lazy and my playlists are overfull and though I have bands alphabetically organized. Search is my best friend. :)
I hope someone comes up with similar theme for XP users. Just to get the feeling. ^_^
Alienware themes have similar quality. Their Media Player skin was really amazing.
Now I'm that person, who goes after looks of a computer and wants to customize it like crazy!!!
****** SPOLIER ALERT!!*********
I saw this movie twice! This is quite a novelty since my exams are approaching.
I saw it on Tuesday with Aruna and Richa and on Wednesday with my parents. I didn't like it much. I appreciated the action and stunt bits. It was all fantastic and dhoomtastic. I particularly liked the part where he camouflages with the statue. He looked scary too. But would a tiny predator and a projected diamond really go unnoticed? Come on, are Mumbai Policemen that dumb?
Drainage water never looked cleaner as Hrithik swims through it. The main point, HRITHIK!!! He ruled and overshadowed all the other actors, stealing Abhishek's glory. Hrithik played every minute of his part beautifully while Abhishek was left with nothing but his brood and few strong dialogues.
One wonders what exactly was Bipasha's importance in the movie, except the insane twin sister part.
Comedy in the movie was good. From Ali's day dreams to Baywatch spoofs to Sweetie's murderous instincts. All gold. Uday is usually unbearable in movies, but he's great when working his way around comedies. ^_^
Aishwarya acted well. It was good to see her in a movie which didn't involve some historic importance. And she looked good too! But if I have to hear the word "funny guy" one more time, I may lose my cool. Indeed, she had a very irritating personality.
I think Romance didn't need to be such a big factor (especially for the ending). But I have to admit, Hrithik + Aishwarya = Smokin' Hot!
I was upset with the ending. I love it when the villain wins! It would have been great if the two managed to steal something right under his nose again and THEN settled in Fiji.
Quotes I liked -
mere ko topi mat pina.. - Ali. I might just adapt this in my daily conversations. :)
pehle socha, kya aadmi hai,
kya pyar hai,
fir laga, kya bakwas hai! - nice haiku by Abhishek
Why is it, that when you want to see a particular news segment, it's almost never shown! Instead there's endless discussion on India's pitiful performance in cricket or senseless gossip about a celebrity.
My grandparents and my Dad were about to go to Mumbai today and there's news about stone-pelting and bus burning incidences in our area. I switch on Sahara Samay and it shows nothing but Sanjay Dutt's case.
WHY? WHY?!! I need to know if my area is safe!!
ETA: Report from CNN-IBN
Report from NDTV
Whoa, the situation seems to be getting really bad. According to NDTV there was violence in Kalanagar. Pimpri is on curfew and there are also reports that there's violence on Bund Garden road.
My grandparents are heading tomorrow. I hope all this gets under control soon. Dad might leave for Mumbai later today. He's got an exhibition to attend.
As for me, I bunked college today and studied Electrical Engineering. I'm still perfecting the DC Networks chapter. I hate those sums. I always manage to screw up something...
I think writing the first entry is always the hardest. As newbie bloggers progress in the blogworld, the first entry always reminds them of their s illiness (if any). I certainly feel so when I read the first entry of my LJ. I sometimes feel the need to change it to make it sound more like what I am today. But I want to preserve who I was, even if it sounds immature.
As noticed, I tend to ramble with no reason. I'm 17 now and a fresher at SKNCOE wherein I'm undertaking Computer Engineering. I'm proud of what I'm studying. Forgive the clique, but I love what I'm learning. I never really liked school or studies. It wasn't interesting enough. Now, I have something that I actually enjoy learning. It's a completely new experience for me. I want to do well so badly. I want to succeed.
I'm an introvert. I love friends and all the time I spend with them. But I like spending time alone as much. I people think of me as being selfish for this. I'm also quite sentimental but I feel like I have very different and conflicting personalities within me.
I'm your lost and confused teenager with an identity crisis. Who am I? I can think of a billion things to answer this. But I still can't find who I am. I'm also very paitent. With time I think I will pick up all this too.
