DON Remake - A job well done by Farhan!

After watching "The Don" (remake) on Sunday, I must frankly say that I wasnt disappointed at all. I went in the movie hall with heavy skepticism and with the doubt how the remake will even get close to the all-time classic. However, giving credit to the Director, Farhan has done a decent job with the movie. He has capitalized on the idea that the audience will come in with the idea that the movie is a remake and therefore the twists that he has put in critical places come as unexpected surprises. Good performances by SRK (however, he is no where even in the proximity of Bachchan saab) and Boman Irani (this guy seems to be starring in almost all movies that I have seen lately). However, most of the songs in the movie are completely out of place, especially the "khaike pan banaras wala" - imagine the song being shot in Malaysia among a bunch of UP immigrants...LOL. I'd give the movie 3.5 stars and definitely a "worth see".
Enjoy!!!

The tongue vs health conflict

Why is it so difficult for most of us to control what we eat? To make things worse, invariably what the tongue likes is not good for the heart (or the overall health). From my personal experience, in most of this situations, the tongue wins and the health has to suffer. Ironically, it is so easy to gain that excess fat but so much hard to shred it. It is awefully difficult for me to control what I consume especially things such as chocolates, icecreams, deep fried stuff etc. which makes it even more challenging.

Some might argue - "Live life King size" - you just have one life, enjoy it to the fullest. But in most circumstances, if you dont watch what you eat, you eventually lose out on really enjoying it to the fullest. However, this might be true to those whose only form of enjoyment is "eating". I have promised myself to control my appetite but have been guilty of cheating once in a while.

Confession: I just ate 2 pieces of chocolate that a colleague of mine brought from California.
Verdict: Guilty of cheating.
Punishment: No chocolates for the next 3 days.
