  1. aw Sardu! i wasn't tryin to argue or fight... i guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, cool? :)

    i thought that it may be otherway round i.e. you may be feeling that i m uneccessary arguing..so i thought lets wrap it up. As such, there is no need to agree to disagree , atleast as far as you are comfertable to discuss.

    back to the main issue, Love @ first sight is very much possible. it happenes! :D

  2. "To appriciate hindi movies, you have to have taste for it. its unfair to compare it with hollywood movies... there are huge differences.." - Sardu

    What you mean a taste for it? I just stated the reasons why I found those particular films really rubbish. I could easily do the same for many of Steve Martin's recent turkeys, Swept Away or some tacky horror films like Chainsaw Texas Massacre (the remake) or Cabin Fever. A good film is something that appeals to all people (if not most) regardless of wether its Hindi, English, French or German. Saying that you have to have a taste for Hindi films doesn't redeem the film from being crap.

    Also not necessarily does Hollywood produce good films all the time, just look at Gigli, Universal Soldier 2, Return Of The Avengers and Freddy Got Fingered...

    Plus if you are insinuating that its unfair to compare because Hollywood films have larger budgets then you are mistaken. For example, the Blair Witch Project had a budget of $35,000 dollars and it brought in $248,300,000 (doesnt necessarily mean it is good!). The Godfather undoubtedly a good film only costed 7 million dollars and brought in $268,500,000. Another brilliant film, Gone With The Wind only had a budget of $3,900,000, yet raked in $390,525,192.

    Wheras Devdas had a budget of 10 million dollars but only grossed a meager 7 million dollars...

    BTW don't use the excuse that Hindi films are undermined by being foreign because Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Life Is Beautiful and Yi-Yi prove that language boundaries arn't a problem so as long as the film is good of course which is the real reason why (with the exception of Lagaan) Hindi films are flops world wide.

    :shock: :shock: Friend, I think you have taken my comment too seriously. anyway, what i meant with taste was. that to appriciate bollywood movies you have to expect less technical and logical approach, you should be ready to accept some unrealistic, imaginary situations. songs are inevitable part.. no matter if it is required or not. I mean, when you see a bollywood movie don't expect that the producer/director might have done some extensive research as you may find in hollywood.

    They are different in approach... in many sense. Say for instance, there is a situation where the hero express his love to the actress. in hollywood movie the next scene will be of bedroom or similer one.. while in bollywood both will go to some garden and sing a song with 10-20 unknown ppls.. its unrealistic,illogical but it is like that only... in almost every film. if one wants to enjoy the movie.. don't apply logic here.. just enjoy... Right? So likwise.. there are many aspects which make it unfair to compare hollywood and bollywood movies.

    Moreover, I agree with your views on those two movies.. i felt the same. also, it wasn't comment on your comments.. i read all the views one by one.. and wrote what i had in mind. It was a casual comment, please don't take it your heart. forgive me! :D :bow:

  3. Sardu! just because u coinkidinkily end up bein in love with the object of ur infatuation doesn't mean that love at first sight exists! we're talkin bout real love here! not the beginning steps or nething! puh lease!

    just like a seed cannot be called a tree, similarly the potential for love cannot be called love... so there...

    Yeah. so Without seed, there is no tree.. so, i think you mean here that witout attraction there is no love ( though i didn't completely convience but i can agree ;)).

    Anyway, this is turining to be an argument ... so lets wrap it up with the conclusion that though its rare, but love at first sight is a possiblity....:D :D

    On a sidenote... its all cool, in my views/experience its possible and others may not convience with this idea... both are right accoding to their prespective,approach and experience. if, tommorow, somebody post a question asking do love exist?, i am sure we will have all sort of views with solid arguments. Human Nature.

  4. Sardu ji, according to ur definition, u've basically said that attraction at first sight may eventually grow into love... so it's not really love at first sight then, is it? :P

    yeah it is. if you agree that there exist the possibility of growing the first sight attraction into love it, which in turn means that it wasn't just attraction only..it was actually (begining of )love... So, you may choose to agree that love at first sight should be a possibility... Afterall its about love.. kuch bhee ho sekta hai.. kaise bhee ho sekta hai!! kisi ko bhee ho sekta hai.. ;). Hope it will help u :D

  5. *sniff*

    he died...they locked the gates.....she couldn't see him *WAILS*

    *sniff*

    ohh yes... that was sad... but its okay .. don't cry so much.

    (on a brighter not did anyone understand some of the kinky hidden metaphors? :LOL: )

    hmmm... its long since i saw that movie.. sooo

    Most of my friends didn't like much because storyline was well known and it was the 3rd movie on the same novel/story. in prior to this one the role of devdas was played by great tregedy king -Dilip kumar.. and i am sure that movie will impress you more( its not that much techy.. very old).

    I liked the decorations and dresses and dance sequences.. the sets are so gorgeous.. classic work.

    To appriciate hindi movies, you have to have taste for it. its unfair to compare it with hollywood movies... there are huge differences..

  6. sorry to all the ppl who pm'd me for a gmail account... i'm in india & i've been trying to access gmail, but i can't because all the internet cafe's here use crappy internet explorer 4. i'll send out the invites when i get back to the uk (if u still need one).

    ahh.. i can't agree to this.. probably its just ur bad luck ..otherwise in india u will find more than 2-3 browsers on every terminal with latest versions.. because nobody need to purchase it.. all is free here..;). seriously, u must be in very small village where this things would be a new..

    :D

  7. wait a sec... if u define love at first sight as infatuation and the first step to true love, then infatuation should be classified as love as well. then love would have to mean infatuation and lust and everything that most of us don't consider to be true love... i'm confused...

    reading too much between lines.. but not in the right/intended direction.:)

    i didn't mean infatuation should be classified as love. i didn't mean anything too phillosphical as well. infatuation or attraction may be a subset or first step towards love.. Love is bigger/greater phenomenon. infatuation /attraction (or this first step) can later grow to mature as love or it can be turned out to be lust.. or it may decay/die shortly. So, all i meant was, infatuation/attraction to somebody can be mere attraction ( and no more.. like many girls in my school/college time).. or it can grow to the extent of becoming lust ( like villan characters in hindi films) or it can really mature into love. Hence, Love at first sight can't be neglected.. it may happen... :)

  8. have you guys ever had one of those days when you wish you could just leave everything behind and go somewhere to be alone and just get back to some normal state of mind?

    yes.. it happens more than once... normal hai.

    some people sit on the fence all their life, some dont, at one time or another u will have a choice to choose a side. Up to u to chose.

    very nice..I agree..

  9. hey everyone. do you think love exists? how about love at first sight? do you believe in it? why or why not?

    Its a mystical/mysterious world... I can't neglect/deny the possibility of this. Yes, Love at first do exist. and i am not talking about the GOD. its between 2 persons..(preferbly of opposite sex/gender). I agree with some of friends here, it may be infatuation or attraction..yes.. but these are subest of Love.. attraction/infactuation are, generally, elementry steps/process..which may later mature to love. ( ne0 said this in one sentence and i took more sapace but yes i agree with his first sentence)

  10. have you guys ever had one of those days when you wish you could just leave everything behind and go somewhere to be alone and just get back to some normal state of mind? cuz i'm havin one of those days... i wish i could just leave everyone and everything behind just for a bit... and go to jamaica, or anywhere where there's a beach or something. *sighs* but tha's not possible. so i need some advice on what i can do to get away from it all without physically gettin away... what do you guys do to get away from life when life just dun wanna let go of u?

    Hope things are back to "normal" for u now! :)

  11. Can someone please please please please tell me which TV station in the UK is showing the Asia Cup?? Please let me know because it starts on the 16th and I am a big cricket fan and need to see my boys kick some asian ass. Havent seen them play in a long long time. So would be grateful if someone would let me know asap.
