10/10 : Cricket, CWG, Endhiran, Bollywood, University, and HAPPINESS

Image
Salutations readers! :) Hoping that all's well for everybody. Really feels good to be back on the keyboard for whipping up yet another blogpost! :D Sorry for having not written a "general round-up", like I usually do, in my last two blogposts. Since Champions League happened, and since Anjaana Anjaani's music happened, I really felt it was worth writing special blogpost dedicated to them only. And WOW, am I glad with the response to my two blogposts, or what! Especially the combined music review one. Was appreciated by almost everyone who read it, and also by the very same Shekhar Ravijiani, who is indeed the composer of Anjaana Anjaani's music! Thanks a ton to Shekhar sir, and all of you who liked my blogpost. Cheers!  Now, here's the contents list of this blogpost: Cricket: India-Australia test series 2010 Commonwealth Games 2010: Delhi 'Endhiran - The Robot' : a great step forward in Indian Cinema! Bollywood: forthcoming and current releases

Why Chennai Super Kings are going to emerge as Champions, this year.

   *WHISTLE PODU!* Hello readers! How you all doing? Well well well, it's already September 2010... and cricket fans, you know what that means! Champions League T20 is here again! And this year, the champions of the IPL, CHENNAI SUPER KINGS, have qualified for it! My full support goes to them this year, even though it has been subject to criticism. Criticism, because there are people out there who believe that IPL teams don't have the potential to defeat other world-class teams. I'm sure you that you all will agree with my Disagreement to those people. And well, I don't know about the other two teams, but CSK definitely has the upper-hand on ALL the participants of the CLT20! And that's what makes me want to support them. Few factors which make me stick to that opinion: - Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Captain cool. Mr. Safe Hands. Batsman who has the best temperament. What more should I say? He led his team to victory in the first T20 World Cup, and now he led his I

09/10 - Combined Hindi Music Review: Anjaana Anjaani & Robot

Image
Salutations all! :D Hope all are doing well. It's been exactly 1 and half months I've not written on this blog and I must admit it does feel weird to pen down my opinion, after such a long time gap. Anyway, I will be soon writing a blogpost on August and September, two AMAZING months of my life. 2010 is just getting better and better for me! :) I hope all are having a great 2010 as well... Cheers to all! :D But well, this blogpost will mainly consist of reviewing two Hindi movie soundtracks. Both are from forthcoming Bollywood blockbusters. One is the movie ANJAANA ANJAANI. And the other, ROBOT. (Also known as ENDHIRAN - THE ROBOT) The reason why I'm combining both reviews into one blogpost, is because the two soundtracks are very VERY different. Two opposites, in fact. According to me, one of them has failed BIG TIME, and the other, has really emerged as probably the best soundtrack of the year! Now which of the two is the better album, is what you will find

June & July 2010 : Months That I'll Never Forget

Image
Hello all! :D First of all, thanks for having liked my last blogpost. :) Really made me extremely happy! Secondly, my apologies for not having written for so long. The reasons WHY I couldn't write anything during the last two months, will be explained in this current blogpost. So stay tuned, because the show is about to begin! Lol ;) In short, I will be discussing three main topics in this post; June and July: Months of Success and Happiness Cricket: India vs Sri Lanka, Australia vs Pakistan Movies: Hindi movies, 'Toy Story 3', 'Eclipse' and 'Inception' Quite a normal pattern that I've been following in all my posts, I guess... So well, here goes! June and July 2010 Well, as you guys may have read and noticed in my last blogpost, I had my crucial final Maturity Exams during the whole month of June. The title of my blogpost is indeed a good overview of what June actually was for me; unforgettable. Thirteen exams in a span of one month wa

Goal: Final Maturity exams, the finishing Line to these 4 years of college

Image
Exams and studies talk Ouch... ay carumba... SHOOTS! ... and whatnot. I feel like saying all this and more, because my final Maturity exams are approaching, and I'm feeling weird. That's because it will be the last exams I will be writing in my college... time flew so fast!  Today I just had my last day of college, and I'm already feeling all sorts of mixed up emotions in me. What I mean by "mixed up emotions", is, for example, feeling happy that I won't be talking German for the rest of my life, but also feeling sad that I won't have easy subjects like English in the future studies I will pursue. Its also sad to leave this nice atmosphere I had in my class... but for hopefully even better ones in the near future! There are few teachers and sirs that I will miss, but there are others that I'm happy to bid goodbye, hahaha, lol...  Overall, I was very lucky to study at Collège d'André-Chavanne, because what makes it special, is the warm ambiance

May 2010: T20 World Cup, Bolly news, and other stuff

Image
Salutations Readers!  How y'all doing? My life's pretty much the same... in other words, there is still as much Bollywood, Cricket and Happiness as there usually is! ;) In this month's post, I will briefly talk about the current biggest event of Cricket, the T20 World Cup of course, and I will also mention few Bollywood films that released, and those that are going to release! So fasten your seat belts, coz' the ride is just about to begin ;) Cricket - T20 World Cup Well, India failed... yet again... and this time also, they couldn't win any of their Super 8 matches... Here are a few factors that caused our downfall in my opinion: - Ravindra Jadeja: he couldn't bat well, he couldn't bowl well, and he couldn't even field properly. Total failure. - Yuvraj Singh: his batting was simply pathetic this time... and to believe that he was the man who hit those six 6s against England in the first T20 WC. - Yusuf Pathan: his terrible economy in his bowling

Final views on the Indian Premier League 2010

Salutations to all! For those only interested to read on the IPL, I suggest you jump to the 3rd paragraph of this post, lol! Well well well... looks like I'm back, after many months... First of all, I apologize for not having kept my word, and for not writing as promised, the mentionned blogposts... Usually, people would say 'Better Late than Never', but here it is really too late to write on things like the 'Shiv Sena vs Shahrukh' controversy... My final opinion on it: Justice always triumphs! Well, that was for one of the 3 topics... The others are very out-dated... Introduction Well well well, let's come back to the main topic... Three letters that rock the nation: I-P-L. According to me, IPL 2010 was the best of the lot, compared to the previous years. Mainly because of one reason: the audience was treated to an excellent performance by many previously unknown young players, and to master-class perfos by the experienced aces of the game... A good bl

New Year.. New beginning... New make-over for the blog

Hello all! Well, I'm back!... after a stressful month of exams in December, and a hard month of studies in January.... First of all, I've got to explain all the new changes for this blog, since I've decided to: 1) change the link to my blog, which is now easier to access, since I made it shorter. All you need to do is type " santhosh-geneva.blogspot.com " and lo comes the page! LOL 2) change the color theme of the blog... Blue is in for this season! LOL ;) and 3) discuss only ONE topic per blogpost... I noticed that people don't want to read my whole posts, because its too long! So here are the topics I'm going to talk about in my following posts: Quick movie review: "3 Idiots" - a great entertainer, and well-made flick! "My Name is Khan" Controversy - why the Shiv Sena should be banned for ruining SRK's finest work ever... India v South Africa Test series: Dhoni's first loss as Test captain, and how he should come back in
