My tryst with Superstitions............

...................... The incident ............
I was bleeding, my shirt and trouser torn ... i was bruised ...i had mud all over my clothes .. all my certificates lay scattered on the road ....... i was literally "on the road" and was in great pain ..i cud only remember my moms words echoing throughout.. i was both conscious and unconscious at the same time when this "incident" happened .
This was one of the worst situations one could be in... i was taken to the hospital and the necessary medication was taken care of ...i felt bad ..REAL BAD ... this would probably be the worst way one could start off one's career (ya it was my first day at office or i should i say my career!!!) ...awesome beginning if u r considering a movie but hey this is real and that too my life (why me ??? god only knows )

........flashback ........ 2 days earlier ..........

I was both gungho and a bit depressed as this was the first time i would be away from home.Maybe from now on, i have to live away from home ....Almost an year back i was really happy when i got placed into this company(i think i need to write another blog for this ), but now its not even a day since i left home that i started missing my family, frnz, room, my balcony,my room .hmmmmm (wish i cud get back all that) anyways....
After a tiring and a long journey i was finally at the Infy campus @ mysore ....after the initial verification process i had to wait around for the golf cart to pick me up and drop me at the alloted room ...it was really an amazing experience looking at the lovely campus sprawled over 300 acres something, i was a bit worried as i was pondering "what if i got lost in this big campus and all?"
Me and my frnz loaded the luggage onto the back of the golf cart and got into it ... the golf cart started and we were looking at one of the best campuses with an infrastucture which is too good to be true ...then suddenly i heard a burst(hmm any guesses) it was the tyre of the golf cart that got punctured ... damnit!! ...ahhh wats this ?? Hare Raam!! ab ye bhi hona tha kya .... "arrgggh whyyyy ??" were the only words that were in my mind and my mouth at the same time.This was the least i had expected ... i had hardly entered the campus and wow such a grand welcome party ???... i ve never even thought of such a grand reception even in my wildest dreams damn it!! ... mera bad luck hi kharab hain ..wat to do??? so this got me into thinking .....

.........................again a flashback ......... (1 week prior to this)

My mom came out with a calendar in her hand and said "Beta,why dont u postpone your journey", my immediate words were "why??" ,she replied " it isnt an auspicious time to start", i was really annoyed and told her "mom these tickets were booked two weeks back and now you are asking me to postpone it?? ..that too now at this time?? .." and added " its not posssible ". What followed was a small fight and mom asked me to catch a flight instead .... i told her "ok, if i get it then good, else i have to travel on the very day i had the tickets booked for " to which my mom reluctantly agreed, luckily or unluckily .all the flights were full and there was no vacant seat for me. My mom was unhappy with the progress but some how she dint say a word,....just 10 minutes into me leaving for Mysore my mom asked me to go to the puja room and take blessings and added ... "pray well coz ur starting out on an inauspicious day and i m really worried about u" ... bas yehi nahi kahna tha ... i wanted to yell at my mom for this but stopped coz she is mom na ..she is worried about my well being ... kya kare?? ... i just smiled and kept quiet but i dint know that these words would eventually change my life (for good????)

.......................back to the present ..........................................

All this came to my mind ... i got into thinking, perhaps i should have listened to my mom and all this wud have been averted.
I was disturbed by the nurse's voice,she asked me if she could put some dettol to which i gave a green signal and added " whatever u feel like", she asked me if i needed a plaster ...i replied, " i dont know" .. she said " its better u take it coz i have applied a cream on it which helps in faster healing" ...
The funniest part was, i had a bad cut on my face which was infact visible but if this plaster were to stick on my face ...then god knows how i would have looked. I had a cut just below my nose and man i wud have looked absolutely funny with the new found add on.I realised that this add on was "ADDING INSULT TO INJURY", so i decided against the plaster as it wud do no good for my image and i went back to my room.
At night, i couldnt sleep how could i?,with all this drama happening around ..i tried to recollect the incident to decipher wat exactly went wrong....... After coming out from the induction program, i was very hungry, i took one of they cycles from the cycle stand( ya a bicycle coz the Infy campus is against pollution ,even i felt awkward initially ,cycle ?? but seeing everyone around i felt comfortable) then i took some geared cycle and started cycling at great speed coz its been a long time since i had a ride on any of em .suddenly i sensed something wrong ....i figured out that the front tyre got punctured, i thought i cud make it to my hostel room and slowed down a bit and then came a turning ...i dont know what happened ..i just couldnt control the handle and i applied the brakes which werent working ...and then all of a sudden a big thud ...i dont remember wat exactly happened but i was on the road and that was then the incident had happened . i felt bad asi realised how foolish i was in not bothering to change the cycle inspite of knowing that it was punctured ...(to be continued)

The most crazy thing one can ever do ...but we did ...

Our final exams were over ... everyone would be busy in about a weeks time from now .....in 2 weeks i had to join Infy... my friends.. Adi,Raju,Harsha were asked to join different mnc's in about 2 days, 3 weeks, 1 month respectively.... Vinay @ Wonder was going to the US of A in 2 months from this day, Jayapal and Style were planning to move out some time later ....so we planned for a Get-together as this would be our last meeting of our Engineering lives and from now on we would be treading another phase in life.
We wanted this meeting to remain with us the for the rest of our lives ,we wanted this to be really different as this would officially signal the end of our college life!! Our exams were over just a week prior to this, so we wanted to celebrate our achievement of completing engineering which we completed wid a lot of huffs and puffs

..................... The Day .......................................

I dint know at what time i got up but when i looked at the watch it read 1 0 clock p.m i called up everyone and asked about the plan ... none of them had an idea ... so i brushed my teeth and slept again, at 6:30 in the evening i could hear my cell playing "i ll be there for you" (the ringtone of the tv show friends) and i rambled something over the phone ... i cud only hear the plan as i was half asleep ..

.......... ....................The plan..............................

We decided to go to Jayapal's place in the night and then do some crazy thing in the night,We dint have a plan but we thought of doing some adventure or crazy thing tat night
.
.............................. The Night ...................................

It was around 9 o clock ... Raju and Adi called me up asking me to come over to a specific place so that we all cud go together ...i informed them that i wud be there in about half an hours time ... i called up Harsha and told about the plan.... when i finally reached the point i got a call from Raju asking where i was .. i replied," i am at the meeting point" ... his reply was " arey o pagal saale, y did u go there" my immediate words were " arey paagal u told me to come to this point na" ..raju replied " oh my god ,what should i do now?? i m right in front of your building" ... i was like " wat the hell are u doing over there " anyways i asked him to come over to the meetin point ...
After 10 mins i got a call from Adi asking me where i was, i replied " i m at the meeting point",Adi said " arrey i m in front of u r building " :D This was the exact way to start out on an adventure ,see how well the plan went off smoothly??


After some time Harsha,Adi and Raju came over to the meeting point ....... we called up Jayapal told him tat we were coming to his place ...he told us tat we are not allowed since he took a new room in the same area ... we said " ##### ####### @@@@, we are coming over to ur place thats it", and ended the call giving him no choice but to say yes, we went to his place but he was already there, waiting for us below his apartment, ... then we thought that first we should eat and think about our adventure later ... it was 9 45 by then ... so we decided to go to "taramati",we started off, me harsha on one bike, Adi and Style on one bike, Raju and Jayapal on another bike and we started shooting videos and it was pure fun!!! ......

...........................At Taramati..................................................................

When we finally reached the place..... we were shocked to see that it had a closed board near its door ... we were really angry and hungry .... but we cud see some people eating in .. so we just barged into the restaurant ... the manger told us that the restaurant is closed ... but we asked him to provide him food as we were hungry ... he agreed to it but added "ok,but u guys have to eat fast as its past closing time and its not supposed to be kept open", We dint have a choice so we agreed. Before our food arrived we shouted,cracked jokes, took photos and did every sort of thing that u generally wont find in any restaurant and we continued this even after we were done wid the food.After we polished off the food we were wondering on what should be done next ... we thought of going to gandipet ... but the manager told us its risky coz the police catch u for no reason and they just rob u of ur money for something or the other stupid reason,We thought and thought and we knew a place ......it was just a few kilometres away that there is a lake ....for this we had to travel enroute our college ... so we were really thrilled with this development and we started from taramati and headed for the lake ...it was really dark and nothing was visible ...but wid all the beam from the bikes we could make it to the lake .....The lake had a kind of spooky feeling coz we were hearing all kinds of strange noises but we decided to hang around..we parked the bikes and started walking to find a rock near the lake ..we found a huge rock and made up our mind that this was the place we would be sitting for the next few hours.

........... ............. The Lake episode..........................

We did a some rock climbing and ensconced on a rock and we talked about various topics ranging from our wonder boy to our Engg life(how fast it went by) and our exams,the labs,our experiences,the way we copied,and so on and so forth...it was beautifully lit night with the moon smiling over us and taking a peek.We were still feeling strange, we saw some broken bottles,some empty gutkha packets and a piece of cloth which looked like worn and torn.Generally nobody frequents this place.I actually felt the jitters i dont know its sixth sense or whatever but i wanted to move out of this place ASAP.We moved out of this place.We all got on the bikes and started .While we were travelling i saw a Tombstone. I was frightened because it just looked like straight out of a movie scene. I tried not to think about it.The drive back too was scary.Silence everywhere except for throttling of the engine.

...........Photo Session in front of college at 2:30 in the middle of night.................................

Finally we reached our college ...we wanted to relax ...and u know this was the best part of the day .. We took pictures of ourselves right in front of college ..looks ordinary ..but this was at night 2:30 imagine how the lighting would have been?? All dark except for the moon .. so the way we took our pics is wat was exciting ...The bikes were parked right in front of our college and the Engine was not turned off .One of us was hitting the throttle and the Light from the bikes headlight would throw out some light and at the very moment we clicked away our moments of glory "photos right in front of our college,With the light from the bikes at 2:30 in the night" crazzy rite.


...............Another photo Session..............................

After the crazy photosession We headed for Jayapals room .We stopped near Golkonda fort and drank tea from a small "bandi" near it ..and we took some exciting snaps ,We sat in the middle of the road and took photos and tat was another awesome experience."SOMETIMES SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE TURN OUT TO BE EXTRAORDINARY", this quote would hold true in all aspects to my 4 years of engineering.

...............Rakshak vehicle and the siren ..........................

After we drank tea ,we stopped a few meters away from the bandi, there was a cannon almost in the middle of the road ..we thought of taking pics over there ...we parked our bikes a few feet away and were getting ready to take pics just then ..we could hear the siren of the rakshak vehicles nearby so we decided against the pics as surely we would have been questioned by the police as to what we were doing at this place and it would have been unnecessary trouble.This is because we were near golkonda fort at 2 45 in the night and it was a military area and surely our movement would have been under scanner. We moved out of the place as fast as we could.

......................Racing against wind ...................................

When we reached nanal nagar adi raju and harsha though of a race,and everybody was reaching their topspeed on their own bikes.The cc of the engines were 180,150,150 so it was no race at all...it was just the power of the engines ...we finally reached jayapals room all exhausted both the machines and us

.....................Playing thief,............................................

Jayapal lived on the pent house. Though the gate was open,there was another kinda gate which opened up to the pent house ,but this was locked ...what we were supposed to do was ,we had to climb a wall and get onto the stairs ..i never climbed on the wall or something, so i was apprehensive about this ,but my friends told they would help me do this. As we were climbing the staircase the power was gone, we heard dogs barking, i dint feel like doing this.If someone was alerted then we would have surely be mistaken for thieves i asked my frnz to wait till the power was on ..but they dint listen to a word of mine and instead convinced me tat it would better if we climb the wall without any light .everybody climbed the wall easily except for me, i couldnt do tat .so adi came back and helped me out .while harsha was pulling me from above and i managed to climb the wall...but what happened was ..everyone was laughing with the way i climbed the wall ..and raju couldnt control his laughter and dropped the helmet which rolled on the stairs creating noise ...we all felt the jitters but surprisingly nobody woke up ...when we reached jayapals room the power was back and we were thankful to god tat nobody was awake or else surely we wud have been mistaken for thieves.When i reached the room i felt my hands hurting, when i happened to check em ..i had a bad bruise near my elbow and a lot of scratches on my fingers and elbows,but i dint feel the pain.
We took jayapals laptop and scanned for movies and harsha was orkutting on the computer in the room ..we all were just gazing at the monitor as harsha was checking out his scraps ....we teased him a lot on this and it was fun ...we dint know what to do as we had a lot of choice i.e ..one laptop and an another pc ..so we saw the movie vennela for some half an hour and then we decided to sleep ....we put a blanket on the floor on the outside of the room so tat we could see the sky above us and we talked some crap and slept while one of was talking on....

.............The morning..............

I woke up to find i was soaked in sweat as i was exposed to the sunrays hitting me ..i got up and woke others and we got ready to move to our respective houses as it was already 9 0 clock in the morning ...but raju was still sleeping ...( to be continued)

The day of "MUNNA" and much more

It was wednesday ...we guys were planning to go for a movie ..all we lazy heads decided to go ahead wid the plan,but the problem was with the choice of the theatre ,we started discussing....how abt an evening show near any one of our frnz place and a "sitting" afterwards ,After a long discussion the theatre was fixed, the place was fixed.... perfect...is it ??? nope not yet ..wat about the tickets??. What if we dint get the tickets coz the movie was hyped,the very thought of it
dampened our spirits (did it???)...naaah!! we always had the black option i mean getting the tickets in black..The next hurdle was asking everyone to come over,this is when the real problem started ...our "wonderboy" always needs to be pushed, i called him up ,as usual he was reluctant to come ..what followed that was "#######,#####@@@" and he agreed

Since i had nothing to do i slept in the afternoon.In the evening i got a call from adi n raju ....ab shuru kahani mein twist.... it was abt purchasing the tickets in the front row tat too in black!!!! the very thought was very scary as i had a nightmare of an experience previously ..

...................... flashback starts ..................................

It was during my 2nd year(of wat?? ) intermediate, me and my childhood pal went to "Skyline" theatre, the balcony tickets were all over ..so we had to take the next denomination ,we were told tat not many tickets were left so we took it,The movie being shown was "THE MATRIX RELOADED".. after some time of babewatching(cant use a better word.. sorry ladies) we went into the theatre n then to my shock, our seats were just 3 rows away from the screen i was like ..wat the ****, dint know wat to do, i finally made myself comfortable in that so called chair (a nightmare)....the movie started after a long time coz of a numerous ads were shown rite from some saree ad to an innerwear ad ...... The movie started ....the hero was blabbering something i cudnt understand ...(ahh these english movies) ....the real fun started afterwards, the people in the front row and people adjacent to me were all "mass" guys ...the hero and heroine were in some conversation about something which i cant recollect, these guys were getting restless ...a guy shouted "bahut baat karliya ab kuch kar" n there was laughter all around ...n then some fight sequences and then Neo talks to oracle ..the conversation was interesting coz it was relating to the future of the Matrix ..now again a comment from the front bench guys ..."arrey o buddi se kya baat karega" , seriously this time i was really annoyed wid tat ...after sometime these guys left the theatre coz they dint get to see what they expected ...ahhh some relief i watched the movie and when i returned back home i had a headache,a backache, a pain in the leg and a pain in the ........coz of that so called chair......then i decided not to sit in those front row seats again........


.........again a flashback....................


hmmmm maybe i wud have to write a separate blog on my experiences at
the"skyline" theatre....


...............back to the present..............


All this came to mind when i was told about the front seats which were available ....oh my god!!! hell noooo ...i asked them to try for some seats in the balcony even if it means by paying some extra bucks because i dint want another hellish experience this time around..i went to harsha's place and both of us headed for the theatre meanwhile i was told tat raju and adi got tickets for all of us(in black) ...We guys met at the theatre but we entered the theatre 10 mins into the start of the movie ...i just hated this coz i like watching a movie right from the first frame to the last frame but its okay coz we went there not to watch the movie but to have fun ..we guys decided to make our presence felt so we were all screaming, shouting, clapping, whistling (sounds odd but trust me thats one way of having fun)..the movie was an ok movie but I liked the concept of it …the 2nd half was good but it had too many twists and turns contrary to the first half which was all drab and boring ........."the interval is the best thing that can happen to a bad movie" we had a sandwich and a soft drink which was wasn’t cool enough to be called a cool drink …. the movie was over and then we guys headed for a restaurant .... we were maha hungry like a lion which dint have food for ages…but the problem was ... the time then was 10:30,almost closing time ..we made a decision to squeeze into some restaurant and Order something ,so tat we dint have to run from place to place in search of food....The food was ordered and the guys who eat chicken and mutton gorged like there was no tomorrow, at the very instance we discussed about another friend of ours, jayapal who doesn’t leave even a small piece of meat, the way he breaks the bones of the poor animal and the way he sucks the meat out of the bone was discussed ….we ate and ate and ate until we cud eat no further ….then we headed for raju’s place,As the restaurant was nearby his place we decided not to take the shortcut, instead take a long route coz "SIMPLE IS BORING"…. The ride was fun .. it was around 11:45 that we were at Raju’s place.. we all ensconced in a sofa pondering on wat to do next….all our eyes went on his not so personal computer…harsha and wonder fought to occupy the computer and the whole computer was googlised(searched) .. each one of em looking for wat they wanted ...after some time as any conversation wud have it, that too in the middle of night the topic drifted to “ghosts,devils,aatmas and stories(fiction and non fiction) and fantasies about em” thanks to emi ra Arun and "wonder" the topic varied from talking to spirits to voodoo to some experiences …the first thing was I ve always hated this topic(coz of apprehension) ....... next wat they were discussing was all crap and boring ..i thought it wud be scary ..but It was dull and boring barring for a few moments ….after some time emi ra arun slept while we all were all awake ..then I dunno who said that but we decided to make him the bakra …we did every thing possible we took talcum powder,matchboxes,empty pet bottles, a jhaadu,whatever we could lay our hands on and started shooting we made him a devdas, a mime actor, a priest,a daku mangal singh,a harry potter, everything possible rather watever we could think of wid those props ..but the lighting wasn’t good, so harsha fetched some emergency lamp and the light was focused on "emi ra Arun" …and we started shooting …we dint know what we were doing but we were having fun at his expense …then Adi thought of a really creative thing he got some deodorant from Raju’s room , lit a match and sprayed the deo on the match..... voila there was a huge flame …we decided to play a prank on "emi ra Arun" …Adi placed it near Arun and he lit the match and sprayed the deo but nothing worked...we tried and tried but nothing worked as either the match was blown off or the deo was not sprayed at the right time... I was shooting all this,
the next time it worked there was a brilliant flame but I dint shoot it coz I just closed the cam then,.. aila!!! and everybody cursed me!!! …hehehe and again the process started ...it dint work ,Adi was doing the same thing over and over again but nothing worked....... finally we were down to last three
Matchsticks and finally this time around it worked!!!! and I captured the moment

A flame consisting of blue,red colors sprang up .... it was worth all the trials... The trial lasted a few seconds more than an average trial …we were all happy With the achievement…. believe it or not while we were all doing this emi ra arun was still sleeping!!!!!! "Wonder" was constantly waking up Arun ,we told him to Shut up! but he dint listen to a word of us….finally we passed time discussing on A whole range of topics from moon to earth we left nothing …..not even the dog which was sleeping on the road …strange but true ……then we were tired with the Adventure and decided to a have a little nap so that we could play cricket early in Morning but the time then was 3;30 finally we again opened the not so personal computer And watched “manmadhudu” movie (as raju dint have many watchable movies on his no so personal computer) … I dunno how many Times I saw tat movie but still I can laugh at every good dialogue of the movie( i almost know em by heart!!!!)…. Then Raju bought some namkeen,mixture,some haldiram chatpat …we ate and were Watching the movie that too at 3;30 in the morning…..i dunno what happened next .....But I felt somebody kicking me and it was wonder ...he was waking me up .......it Was 5;30 in the morning we decided to play cricket so all of us headed to a nearby ground which was not really a ground(it was supposedly a children's park but had nothing in it to be called a park or a ground it had trees placed right in the middle of that grassless park and a lot of dump at the corner of that so called park, but if one looks at it from our point of view then it was worth playing, we played for sometime, as usual I played badly …was trying variety of shots which never worked leading to Laughter all around …..


.......................the funny incident......................................

i was about to bowl then i heard something, it was an aunty in the adjacent Apartment asking us not to play cricket coz it seems a window pane was Broken by some cricketers the week before( but we never found any window Which had anything made of glass) …we told tat we would be done in half an hour and we continued playing … After some time .. Aunty came to our ground and demaned the bat …Raju replied “aunty meeru kooda adandi” ("Aunty if u want even u can play with us") which was very hilarious…actually the aunty wasn’t an aunty but an annoying old lady ….

Adding fuel to fire one bhudda came out and started screaming at us ....
If we continued playing then he would perceive us as “YEDAVALU”(useless fellows) and started speaking some crap which sounded as idiotic as his appearance.........I felt like kicking tat old guy ....Adi shouted at that bhudda threatening him to give us Respect …(this was not the way an old person was supposed to talk) …I dint interfere much into the matter coz I was an outsider and if I said or did Something idiotic it wudnt be good ….finally the matter was settled and we Decided against playing, if we played tat old ass wud have died of a heart Attack and the aunty wud have gone mad ..the truth was we were really tired to play any further but we still sat there , after some time wonder was coming up with all law points and some hi fi English to Another uncle(a big time ass) who was peeping from his balcony …the Conversation of wonder and tat ass uncle was very funny coz this was exactly Not the way u talk in an argument ..wonder was coming up wid all law points And some hifi fundoo English (god bless him )..finally the matter was over And we vacated the ground coz we were all tired
and irritated wid these Dumb heads …the most funniest part was tat the old lady was threatening to Call the police (as if they have no work).... we were laughing at this ..we realized how foolish the lady was In telling us tat she wud call the police …..we vacated the ground and again headed to Raju’s place and again had a long conversation about trivial things .n finally we decided to get back to our respective houses as it was already 11 in the morning and dint have anything better to do at raju's place…I came back and man there was work work and more work at my place …….i hoped I missed out on nothing ....did i??

If u can understand it good else forget it

I ve been asked by my frnz and my relatives and people who r close to me “why don’t u celebrate your birthday”….. I don’t have any reasons for either celebrating my birthday or Rather not celebrating it .. the reason …I myself dunno…Strange but True…..When I was very young( I m not much old now anyways) my birthday wud either fall on the day of my results, or in summer holidays or on the day of the last exam (did I leave out any other reason???) so I never celebrated my birthday ….even the habitual cake cutting wasn’t there as far as I remember,though my mom used to prepare sweets ….when i have exams or when my report card is being given I dint feel like wearing new clothes or looking good because I knew wat my report card wud contain …by the way I was very irregular in my school days the usual remark would be “had he been regular he would have surely got a better grade” or “needs to be regular”or “good at studies but irregular to school” ..i dunno what grade wud one get above an O or A+ grade …….so there was never a point in feeling special of my so called birthday …in fact I somehow used to divert the topic especially when it would be concerning birthdays and stuff …I know u must be thinking I m kind of crazy or “PSYCHO" the thing is I m not a psycho, I m much worse than that……As this feeling has set in me, I kinda behave strangely on my so called birthday ..in fact I hate explaining things ..but I dunno why but I m still writing this crap ……hmm not getting any ideas to write but I ll update this sometime or the other if not in a year alteast in a decade …

Confuuusing ....waat is reaaaalllll ahaaaa!!!

Alex opened his eyes with great difficulty, he had all sorts of wires strapped around him, he dint know where he was ...his mind was spinning with what he saw ..it took a minute to realise where he was.... he was surrounded by policemen,all guarding him with rifles...he remembered
nothing..why were the policemen guarding him??? ...was he a vip???, was he a criminal,why this protection, he cudnt take this and he closed his eyes..........

The next time he opened his eyes all he could see was nothing. It was all dark ....was he blinded?? he cudnt understand a thing ..he shouted for help, he found his voice echoing throughout the room, he dint even have the faintest idea of wats happening
Wat he heard next was a big sound which hit his head and he lost his consciousness......... he opened his eyes and to his utter dismay he saw something revolving directly above his head and he figured out that it was a fan ...then he heard his moms voice echoing throughout his room to get up and get ready ..Alex took 5 minutes to figure out whether he was dreaming or not ... he cudnt say for sure whether it was a dream or it really happened to him.... he went straight into his restroom to wash his face ...the moment he looked into the mirror........ he was shocked, his face was fully shaved, his eyebrows were removed, his head tonsured ... he was in a total shock........ as it wud happen he put his hands over his head but he found stitches on his head which was bald now and he was sweating profusely ...he was just unable to come to terms he nearly had a heart attack ..his vision was getting blurred and he fell to the ground and....(to be continued)

Does SRK make KBC click???

Finally its back,it wudnt have been at a much better time for star plus than this with its TRP ratings falling and decreased viewership inspite of its "n" number of ooppssss "k" number of
Saas-bahu and run of the mill kind of serriaallllsss ...now the big question is Does KING KHAN make KBC click?...the first episode is out and man it has a fresh look to it ....its unfair on our part
to compare KING KHAN with the Big B each person has his own charm,persona..but does KING KHAN deliver???
                            While Big B was a serious quizmaster a part played brilliantly by him ,now we have our King Khan doing an absolute U-turn and adding a dash of humour to the new KBC.... wid SRK as the helmsman KBC  makes u laugh,think,angry(due to n no of ads!!!)..the gameshow has  a feel good freshness to it... wid the new "COMPAQ da" and some sort of" jaadu ki jhappi".....all in all shahrukh has lived upto the expectations and has delivered because its not easy to present the show which the Big B did as he had cast a magical spell on us ....this gameshow is a bit interactive compared to the previous show presented by Big B...it was really good to see SRK giving a massage to the participant to ease out pressure and it was heartening to see SRK admitting that it was difficult for him to pronounce the tongue twisting names... he admitted to it rather than getting it wrong,SRk appeared a bit nervous with his constant touching of the tie and adjusting the collar n he leaning forward for the question to appear its all forgiven as after all he is human too and it being his first episode
                                             One cannot enjoy the show if it is compared  wid the previous KBC versions but accept the new KBC as it is...way to go SHAHRUKH
