Dictionary

One of my friend wants me to create a dictionary of my own as I have no knowledge in English Grammar, which is true and I have always admitted the fact!.So be it. Here’s my dictionary.

Multiplexes in Kochi

A decade ago Kochites would wish to go as far as Bangalore to enjoy good movies at Multiplexes , in two months time, it looks like Kochites would be spoiled for choices!

With already two good multiplexes; Cinemax and Qcinemas with 4 screen each, there’s another two more multiplexes to be opened soon with as much as 19 screens, that’s twice the amount of screens we already have. Cinepolis will be opening with 11 screens at Central in MG Road and PVR will be opening 8 screens at Lulu at Edapally.

It’s going to be a Happy Movie time for Kochites!

What Facebook revealed!

Yesterday I was installing a Facebook application in my mobile and I unintentionally or rather Facebook sent mass friend request to all my contacts saved in my phone.

Guess what happened next, obviously I had to cancel all friend request sent, thanks to the new activity log, even though I had to manually cancel all request, it was easy! But it revealed a lot of things.

1. One of my close friends has a fake profile! He isn’t any celebrity but he does!, that too linked with his mobile no as the application uses the phone nos in your contacts to send request and his profile has liked 521 random pages.
2. There were at least 30 fake profile created randomly with just names and possibly random phone no. out of 225 request sent which suggests 10% of users in Facebook are fake! BEWARE
3. A few random people have used the phone nos of the contacts I have and linked it with their profile, that was really weird!
4. One of the request sent was to a prominent media person whose no. I am sure I never had, I thought this could be because of two reasons either he/she uses mobile no which is not his or hers or it could be the no of someone I knew and he would have stopped using the no and the service providers would have allotted the same no. to another person

That was it, took two whole hours to cancel the request, but boy it revealed a lot of things, I made sure no one can find me using mobile no. search, you can too disable it in your privacy settings!

Travel in Kochi Metro by 2017

That’s not a tag line by Kochi Metro or DMRC, but at the pace they are working, looks like it’s gonna be true. I was pessimist about Kochi Metro ever getting on track, but when I saw the tenders on DMRC website  for construction of via ducts from Aluva to International Stadium, I am convinced that Kochites will be travelling in metro.  They have also kept a deadline of two years  for the completion of via ducts and stations along the route. DMRC has also started pulling down the centre portion of North ROB which they say the construction will be completed by November 2013.

DMRC has mentioned a few conditions for the completion of work in time, one of them being acquisition of land in a time bound manner. There is no major land acquisition required on the route the tenders have been floated and then again cash has already been handed over to majority of owners in the Banerjee road and MG Road stretch. With all parties wanting the Metro to come to Kochi, we can believe that no red tapism would hamper any paper works in the government office.

With everything in favor of Kochi metro, we will have a new form of transportation by 2017.

Annayum Rasulum! Escape

Spoiler Alert!

That’s what I felt at the end of the movie, I just wanted to get out of Shenoys and breathe some fresh air. God knows what the script writer intended to convey in the first 20 minutes of the movie. People in the theater was praying for a break; which came an hour and half later.

Story , what story , it’s like life’s of 4-5 people shot and pasted in the film. The one who edited the movie probably has never seen a movie in his life.  The movie is so drab that you lose track on the no. of lose ends the movie has. Ashiq Abu has probably done is role okay, but his character was unnecessary, a poor soul waiting years to get police clearance for his passport and eventually never gets cleared.

If you are going to watch the movie, you are doing a great favor to the producer! Oh and by the way the hero and heroin falls in love without uttering a single word.
