The Movie: Jab we Met

Having
nothing to do on Sunday evening, I thought I might as well watch the
movie, Jab We Met , since I remembered reading good
reviews about it. But I have never liked Shahid Kapoor. So I started
watching the movie, not sure of how long I will have the patience to
watch Shahid and Kareena. Besides, these days, I seem to have lost the
patience to sit through the long breaks in between. 20 minutes into the
movie, the first break came and still I wasn't bored of the movie. In
fact, I seemed to like it!
Though this movie reminded me of so many other movies like Pyar To Hona
Hi Tha and Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, yet there were a lot of scenes
aided by good dialogues that made for nice moments throughout this
movie. The bonding between Shahid and Kareena that starts with Kareena
chatting away endlessly while Shahid, forget about uttering a word,
does not even changes the sad, serious ex-pression on his face and
ultimately ends with them both tying the knot is shown beautifully. But
it's beautiful only till the point where Shahid succeeds in getting
Kareena reunited with her ex-lover. From that point onwards, the movie
becomes boring and the scenes that follow pale in comparison to the
earlier ones. But anyway since the movie ends soon after that, it isn't
that bad after all. The songs weren't that bad either. There were some
beautiful sunsets and sunrises shown to mark the end/beginning of many
days throughout the movie.

Overall, it was a nice movie. After a long time, I liked a Hindi movie that I watched on TV

Santa enters a store that sell curtains.

He tells the salesman, “I would like to buy a pair of pink curtains.”

The salesman assured him that they had a large selection of pink
curtains. He showed him several patterns, but Santa seemed to be having
a hard time choosing.

Finally, he selects a lovely pink floral print.

The salesman asked what size curtains he needed.

Santa replies, “Fifteen inches.”

“Fifteen inches?” asked the salesman. “That sounds very small, what room are they for?”

Santa tells him that they aren’t for a room, they are for his computer monitor.

The surprised salesman replies, “But, sir, computers do not have curtains!”

Santa says, “Hellllooooooooo……..I’ve got Windows!”
