Not really sure as to which team Kimi will move into and adding to it, not being sure which team to support, NOT Ferrari, not McLaren, I was finally left with one FORCE INDIA.. SO, added a widget in my page to show my support….
Here are a few widescreen wallpapers which are freely available from their site…
As the curtain draws this sunday at Abu Dhabi, it could well be the last race in Formula 1 for Iceman, the guy most popular for almost winning the championships in 2003 and 2005 and finally crowing himself to glory in 2007. Kimi does not have a contract for the next year, and driving for Red Bull & Toyota does not make sense. McLaren are happy with Lewis & might sign Button or Rosberg for next year and unlikely to take the Iceman back. If what he says is true, we might see him in a rally car next year or even worse, a farm. With the hope to see results like “1. RAI(FIN)” in future, a video tribute to this chap who made the monotonous F1 interesting ….. Fastest Man to ever drive an F1 car. sigh
Came across this image when reading about Schumi on Wiki….
Thanks Michael !
Nice. I like it.
Rings a bell in the head, doesn’t it? Well, this is the movie I saw this weekend. With no watchable movie running in the theatre’s, I resorted to what is popularly known as damage control and gave this one a shot. Will waste no time in coming to the review….

Rockford – The story is set in a very realistic environment, teens talking about fears, crushes, masturbation, school bully and things which any bunch of common teenagers talk about. All this is presented with a little humor that makes it a nostalgic film most of us can identify with. It came out about 10 years back but a boarding school today will still be pretty much the same. The plot has some twists and turns here and there, a little dramatic and portrays the rise of young protagonist from a zero to a hero. It was done very skillfully and naturally. The competition for the “class first” felt so damn real, will make the viewer remind him of his own class at school. Also, the fact that Rajesh is not some chap who fails and then comes first but he starts off as the topper, so that “bollywood-ish dud becomes genius” part is not present and adding on to it to the way the whole school gives importance to Rajesh coz he’s the topper actually sends a strong signal. It’s not the bully whom everybody likes, not the tallest guy BUT the chap is studies well. So true.
Coming to acting department, Nagesh Kukunoor plays a fitness teacher and does it badly. The character feels half-baked and he actually makes the movie feel amateurish. Good direction by him but bad acting. Nandita Das as the beautiful teacher of the school has a small cameo and does it elegantly. The girl who plays Malati does a decent job and does make the character feel real. Selva as the best friend of Rajesh is very impressive and probably runs a chance at best supporting actor, at times he is better than his protagonist friend too. Last and most importantly, Rohan Dey as Rajesh Naidu is amazing. Will have to check if he got any awards for his role. It was truly a marvelous performance by a child artist. He seemed so natural, “lived the role” as they say in Telugu. 
On the musical side, the opening song is pretty decent and the song “Yaaron Dosti” is definitely a cult song for friendship now. The technical aspects are average as the movie scores high on the screenplay and acting.
It’s a good one time watch, probably alone or with a couple of old school pals. Will surely make you smile. Putting it bluntly, it’s a movie about a teen boy’s sexual feelings and story of “firsts – crushes, love letters, kiss” etc.
P.S. This seemed like a fatherly movie to Aamir Khan’s Taare Zameen Par. TZP surely is not a remake but did take some serious inspiration from this. Eg. Teacher/Student bonding, Gym for Rockford/ Art for TZP and the meek friend. They might be stereotypes but these will flash your mind if you watch both.
Shamelessly flicked these images from a blog
Wat say?
A video of that cult song (again by KK)for which I saw this sweet movie :

What is with Emraan Hashmi & great songs? I mean, name one movie of his which did not feature a great song? Is Pritam so much in love with this serial kisser that he cares so much to produce or re-produce 
great music? Come on, isnt it a something everybody knows? Am talking of the music . Ask any Tom, Dick & Harry and bang you will get a reply “Emraan Hashmi movie? Gaane toh zabardast honge” in a typical Hyderabadi tone. Well whatever be the reason, we shall leave it to these two gentlemen and enjoy the best part and that is that we get to listen to all these good songs…
Tum Mile has about 9 songs, including the remixes. Its a trend nowadays to create Club Mix, Rock, Reprise of the same song and sell them as 3 different ones. Huh… The same song is modified by adding a few “Dhin Chic Dhin Chic” and tada… u have the Rock Version. Take the background music off and its called reprise. Morons. Here are the actual songs:
- Tum Mile [Normal, Love Reprise & Rock] Shafqat Amanat Ali & Javed Ali
- O Meri Jaan by K.K.
- Dil Ibadat [Normal & Rock] by K.K.
- Tu Hi Haqeeqat by Javed Ali
- Is Jahaan Mein by Mohit Chauhan
(K.K. is an amazing singer… will write a post on him too sometime…)
So, of all these songs, Tum Mile RocK, O Meri Jaan and Dil Ibaadat are very good. The rest are hummable but not so “OOH!”. Just okay types… looking forward to watching this movie on the big screen. SOHA ALI KHAN, man. Come on!
So in the mean time, read the best parts of the lyrics of the “Very Good” songs
1. Dil Ibaadat -
Dil Ibaadat Kar Raha Hai, Dhadakane Meri Sun
Tujhako Main Kar Loon Haasil Lagi Hai Yahin Dhun
Jindagi Ki Shaak Se Loon Kuchh Haseen Pal Main Chun
Tujhako Main Kar Loon Haasil Lagi Hai Yahin Dhun
Jo Bhi Jitane Pal Jiu Unhe Tere Sang Jiu
Jo Bhi Kal Ho Ab Mera Use Tere Sang Jiu
Jo Bhi Saansein Main Bharu Unhe Tere Sang Bharu
Chaahe Jo Ho Raasta Use Tere Sang ChaluTujhe Tujhase Tod Loon Kahin Khud Se Jod Loon
Meri Jismo Jaan Pe Aa Teri Khushbu Odh Loon
Jo Bhi Saansein Main Bharu Bharu “>Bharu “>Unhe Tere Sang Bharu
Chaahe Jo Ho Raasta Use Tere Sang Chalu
2. Tum Mile -
Tu hi meri hai sari zameen Chahe kahin se chalun
Tujh pe hi aa ke rukun Tere siva maun jaun kahan
Koi bhi raah chunu Tujh pe hi aa ke rukunTum mile toh Lamhein tham gaye
Tum mile toh Sare gum gaye
Tum mile toh Muskurana aa gaya
Tum mile toh Jadoo chaa gaya
Tum mile toh Jeena aa gaya
Tum mile toh Maine paya hai KhudaTujh mein kirana dikheDil ko sahara dikhe
Aa mere dhadkan tham le Teri Taraf hi Mude
Yeh saas Tujhse jude Har pal yeh tera naam leTum mile toh Ab kya hai kami
Tum mile toh Duniya mil gai
Tum mile toh Mil gaya aasra
Tum mile toh Jadoo chaa gaya
Tum mile toh Jeena aa gaya
Tum mile toh Maine paya hai KhudaDin mere Tujhse Tujhse “>Tujhse “>chale Raatein bhi Tujhse dhale
Hai waqt tere Haath mein Tu hi Shehar hai mera
Tujh mein mein “>hi Ghar hai hai “>hai “>mera Rehta hai tere Saath mein
Tum mile toh Mil gaya Humsafar
Tum mile toh Khud ki hai Khabar
Tum mile toh Rishta sa ban Gaya
Tum mile toh Jadoo chaa gaya
Tum mile toh Jeena aa gaya
Tum mile toh Maine paya hai Khuda
3. O Meri Jaan -
Hairaan hain hum Huye kyun tum gairon se
Kaisa hai gam Bolo na tum honthon se (2)
Na tum ho bewafaa Na mein bhi hun
Phir bhi hain hum judaa Main kya kahoon
Na jaane waqt ki marzi hai kya
Kyun hai mili Yeh Dooriyan
O meri jaan… (5)Kuch tum mujhse khafa Kuch main bhi hun
Hai kya kya “>kya “>iski wajah Main kya kahun
Na jaane waqt ki marzi hai kya
Kyun hai mili Yeh Dooriyan
O meri jaan… (5)Tujhe dil se tha chaaha Tu hi toh na mil paaya
Khushi mujhko chal si jaati hai
Mere tu tha sarmaaya Tujhe paaka na paaya
yahi baatein chubh si jaati hain
Tanhaa teri tarah haan main bhi hun
Dono hain gamzadaa main kya kahun
