Surjit brought out an interesting topic of how he derives nuggets from the movie wake up Sid and how he wants to start a magazine. For starters I guess it is not unusual that the most creative amongst us in terms of his Langour stories or his desire to learn films and make them speak out about Mumbai Beat(the film magazine that Sid is part of in the movie).
I reserved any comment on the movie until I saw it which was last night after work..the first thing i did after watching the movie was go for Pizaa...i saw fr too many slices of pizza to resist the temptation...anyways sid is a charater we in many ways wish we were...his innocence..his focus on his own life rather than daily bickerings that most mortals like us have to bear and write blogs about..his seemless association with friends..he does not represent what Aakash and gang in Dil Chahhta Hai did....dosti rocks
Last weekend I was at this time in Goa...by the pool with my two collage friends..one was my school buddy(we called him Buro as he used to look like an old man) and the other was my next door neighbour who we called with all sorts of names like bhagne(nephew), gupta boss and all...anyways the point I am making here is that in these five years that we have not been together, what has changed is probably tme and the maturity..but deep inside we are kids and we never want to loose that..coz it pacifies us in many ways..it is like a hill station that you look forward to as a vacation when you live in hot and humid Kolkata..
The movie also brought about Mumbai's persistent claim of being a 'no boredom' city..not tht Mumbai is the only place that can boost that but it sure ranks amongst the top in terms of avenues to spend leisure time..
So i fSurjit suggests starting a Magazine, well lt's form a team as we don't want the right talents in the wrong places!!
We need some photographers, some writers, an editor and one who looks at publicity..
My thought was lets make a website using the google free website creating process...if you keep it active and can attract viewers for > 6 months then you get money through Google Ads upon registration..
Let the roles be nominated...and why the nomination..

I think starting a website will be more fun as it's more dynamic & will be tech savy.
It will also unable us to access it from any place...as most of the trenchants are in a globe trotting role.
Let's make a habit to making this blog like our base camp...where we come together for ideas, and treat this place as a bouncing board...bombarding this location with new ideas n then picking up the top 3 and working on them.
Wat say guys? Can we make it happen?
I am up for it...n ready to deem any role...
