After Yahoo cancelled my “Loyal Account” with them. i had to move on to Skype, i knew i was paying probably 2% more for my calls, but i never really had any problems with skype. Now, i had to inform my Yahoo Calling contacts to move out to skype, which includes my family too. But since my parents and siblings are not IT happy. they prefered me calling them on their normal phones..
I had to pick up a shipment today from aramex. i got into this habit of picking up my shipment directly from Ardiya, as i ensure i get everything at the soonest. So since i had written about the difficulties i had on 248am blog, i decided to meet Murad Bdair, the Customer Account Manager for Shop and Ship.
This weekend, I got to watch “Home of the brave” a Movie by Irwin Winkler. Even though critics have rated this movie a flop , i feel it has so much truth behind it, coz i personally know few soldiers fighting in Iraq and how difficult their lives are. Its the story of soldiers coming back home after a war. Its like how they manage their day to day lives, with their friends and families.
Samuel Jackson, has acted well here. But the role of Jessica Biel was abit too little.
I would grade it 3 out of 5.
I have been a Gulf Bank Account Holder for almost 8 years now. I have found them quite excellent. i have been using their Credit Cards too for about 6 years now. And found them to be easy to use, easy to manage and quite user friendly at the helpdesk.
Zita(My Wife)Â and myself decided to go to SliderStation , this weekend, to try out the hype associated with the place. I didnt know the place, so i called them up on 2465047. The Guy who answered was polite and knew to speak english.
A new restuarant opened near to my apartment. The Shop which hosts “WokMaster” had to be built , so we were wondering what its all about ..Rumors said it would be a pharmacy to the near by Salmiya Clinic, some said a “Shawarma Joint” and some said a Taxi Office.
We watched “Wild Hogs”, and found it rather entertaining , with a well starred cast of John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence, William Macy and Jill Hennesy. Its about Four middle-aged actors, three of whom are on the downside of their careers, in a movie about men getting older and fighting against it by trying to recapture their youth and good ol younger days.
We got to watch “Provoked”, a 2007 UK based English language film, directed by Jag Mundhra. It stars Aishwarya Rai, Naveen Andrews, Miranda Richardson, Robbie Coltrane, Nandita Das and Steve McFadden. The film is based on the true story of Kiranjit Ahluwalia who killed her abusive husband.
As i mentioned before that i dont like hindi movies. But Movies like these bring out Indian Actors/Actresses to Hollywood. It feels nice to see indian culture exposed in a different way and through Hollywood standards. The Sad part of this movie is the abuse brought out in Indian Culture towards Women. Women are mistreated even at this very day in India. I would rate the movie 4 out of 5 ..
I have been with UTIBank, India (Goa - Margao branch) for about 4 years now. I should say, i have been extremely happy with their services. I joined them, when my School Pal, sil was working with them. He convinced me that UTIBank would grow up. I had faith that they would.
We watched Shooter , this Thursday Night, It was a great movie. Kept us on our toes a bit. The Storyline, was ”OK”. But the action, was quite immense and thrilling. I cant get details of the movie, here as i would advise people to watch it. Shooter brings out , professionalism of a SNIPER . It shows the calculations involved in being a pro sniper. Somehow i felt, if i placed this under the sniper movies category, “Enemy at the Gates“. would be more pratical and  more understanding as the life of a sniper.
I consider the storyline as “OK”, because, it seems to be picked up from many movies and joined together … like Rambo, Art of War and few others. Mark Wahlberg has acted quite well, i was expecting some more acting efforts from the supporting actors.
Its a good movie to watch for the action and excitement. I would give it 3 out of 5.
