IIFT The Culprit...

Coudnt get to write anything in the past few days... Reason being that I am back to IIFT ! My Second Year of MBA in International Business (hehe) has begun and as usual... we are squeezed so much that hardly I get 15 minutes to sit on my blog... I have 8 compulsory courses and 4 Electives... Apart from these, I am planning to take up one elective extra if the administration allows.. If this is granted, it will make 8 + 5 + 1 (Spanish) = 14 courses in 3 months !! It would be a roller-coaster for sure.

I shifted to the new hostel and its now a double-room arrangement. New Hostel, New Courses, New Professors + Good Old Friends + Good Old Bad Food is what I have to put up with this year !!!

I am all set for the ride ...

Fantastic Four: The Rise of The Silver Surfer

Fantastic Four of us (Anirudh, Shiva, Teja & Sameera) went to watch this movie Fantastic Four (Reed, Sue, Jhonny,Ben- fictional names) at IMAX today..

The movie is very interesting in the sense that unlike in the movies like Superman & Spiderman, the protoganists of the movie donot hide their identities and moreover they are very popular and are publicly acclaimed figures. "Save the World" - A theme so oft with any of the popular comic fiction again turns out to be the central arc of the movie. Before going to the movie, I skimmed through the actual story of the Fantastic Four and that of the Silver Surfer (Norrin Radd-fictional name). Turns out to be pretty interesting actually. These are all the characters of the comics of the 'Marvel' fame. Spiderman, X-Men & the Hulk also happen to be Marvel Comic characters. Most of the marvel heroes get their power either through aliens or through a mutation in their DNA due to cosmic radiation. In this story, Mr. Fantastic has got a power of incredible self-stretching, Sue- the power of invisibility & the power of creating Force Field, Johnny- who can turn himself into flames, Ben - the rock like man. Just for info Batman & Superman are the creations of another comic group called "DC Comics".

The picturization is very good and the action sequences though not as lenghty as in Spiderman movies, were pretty neat and cool. Definitely I would rate this movie much better over Spiderman-3, which was rather very dragging. One should not miss seeing this movie if one has a liking for Fantasy...

1 2 3 Testing....

Back to blogging...yet again.. !! See my persistence...after two failed ventures :

http://konnikaburlu.blogspot.com/
http://deliberately-different.blogspot.com/

There are two kinds of people who come back to blogging. One who have so many interesting things happening in life that they want to eternalize them. Others who have nothing better to do in life and they want to pass their time. I am the third kind, who has so many good things happening in life but yet so lazy to record them that I have to force myself starting this thing all over again just for the heck of it.

I do however have a passion for writing and guess I am not that bad at it too...
