Rab ne bana di jodi hai......

Saw Rab ne bana di jodi in PVR today. Wanted to watch it for a long time but it always got postponed due to some or other reasons. And the high PVR ticket prices was not at all helpful in making me go sooner. With so high ticket prices its always better to find out how the movie is before going. Before you start giving dialogues such as I should go and decide for myself how the movie is listen to the valuable lesson I have learnt in past few years after wasting so much money watching the first day shows of movies such as Kisna, Tajmahal, james, Taal, Shiva, D, Darna jaroori hai, Darna mana hai, Hello, Heroes, Just married and many more. So I try to find out how a movie is before booking the tickets and always watch the movie after its first week of running thinking if the movie ran for one week atleast it will be ok.

Ecstasic Udaipur

"Kathikda Calling” showed ,when I pulled the mobile lazily from my pocket and I thought here starts again, The Hindi speaking training for him. Anyways I picked the phone, unlike him, and the first thing I hear is Karhtik da shouting, “Thambi, do you want to go to Udaipur?”.I thought why would I want to go to Udaipur at all of all the places that i can go, what sort of question is this and asked in one breath “What? How? When? Why?”.
Then he started explaining that Debu da’s team Oracle Direct was going to Udaipur that year for there yearly team outing.
If you don’t know about this or shocked to hear that how any team in any company can go so much far to Udaipur for a team outing, let me explain it before continuing further. I don't know for your company, but my company never went out of Bangalore for an outing. Debu da used to work in oracle(I am not saying that he used to work there. He never worked.Simply speaking he was an employee there. I will write a separate blog about the non working of oracle employees but that will be coming later) in a team called Oracle Direct. It was said by other Oracle employees in my our house that there team was the largest revenue generator in Oracle and to appreciate this fact every year they used to go to a good, exotic and finest location for there team outing. For example to places like Maldives, Thailand, Malaysia etc. This time they were going to Udaipur generally called as the city of lakes or the venice of east(Don't ask me why, I did not give this name). The best part was all the team members can take one other person with him. So a married person can take his family and others can take there friends/girl friends etc. So lets get back to the story again.
So the problem was that Debu da was in US at that time and so was not able to co-ordinate who will go with him. He first asked Karthik da, but he said no as he had some release at that time (People in our home say that Karthik da works only for one month in whole 12 months of an year and yes you got it right, it was his working month at the time of the trip). Manish bhaiya was not in India at that time so I became the most eligible. So Karthik da called me to find out whether I am interested to go to this trip to Udaipur. I had my doubts so i thought better to clear all of them first. Obviously the first question I asked was how much I will be spending for this trip. My second question was how are they planning to go there. Karthik da told me that we will fly from Bangalore to Mumbai and then to Udaipur and return the same way. I thought we even have an airport in Udaipur, cool. And then came the next bombshell when karthik da told me that we were going to stay in Taj lake Palace in Udaipur. In all my life I have never been inside any hotel with name starting with Taj and I always had the impression that any hotel name which starts with Taj must be good. I thought that this may be the time in which not only will I enter the hotel but stay there also. The trip was for 4 days and 3 nights. Since getting 4 days leave was never a problem in Tavant(It was problem only when you ask for 2 weeks leave and you will get a reply as if company will close if you are not there for 2 weeks) so I replied, yes I am coming.
