Of Mid Winter Ball, Email convo and Sholay
Posted by Mahak on June 13, 2009
(Email Convo that held the other day over what to wear to the ‘Mid – Year Winter Ball’ this year, the theme is Bollywood, courtesy the SM hype, the ball poster has Slumdog Millionaire in the background and I am like dude that’s not even Bollywood – get your facts right…All the Kiwi girls have been asking me for Sarees and I am like I don’t even have one for myself!!!!)
Me:Good Morning,So u guys knew the theme for this year’s ball and didn’t even tell me…..I feel so neglected..huh Hum pardesi ho gayeeeeeein
MVM: Nahi i wanted to tell you but kept forgetting !!! SORRRY !!!!
(((((((((((((((((
Me:I am officially not talking to u two for ummmmmmmm half hour may be!!
RA: O.o……I asked MVM to tell u!….she didn’t tell!…its her fault!! Lol just kiddin….we got emailed just last week…..
MVM: RA it doesnt help saying you got it last week !! you could come with something better like…we didnt see it! didnt check our mail and didnt look at each other when the details where out !! …now shhhh…shes not talking…its the moment of silence!
Me: Conspiracy theories and diplomacy!! This wont help…I jus twisted the social club rep’s arm to ask the organizer and ask her to send us a formal email.i feel I feel so left out -third world country..Btw wat r u guys planning to wear?
MVM: hahah so who you dressing up as? n so its ghagra for u?
Me: Naaa I hv to do my research and think wat can I mix n match to be some bolly icon..RA – I knw wat u cn dress up as..someone from Slumdog Millionaire ;0) may be as AR Rehman and dance on Jai Ho….
RA: Haha!! I will dress up as A.R.R only if nicole from pussycat dolls is gonna be there……else I will dress up as the guy who got bachan’s autograph….haha….ewww…gross!!
MVM: RA DISGUSTING…I challenge you too ! …..I bet on 100 dollars..come like that
Me: NO I am not coming then…PLS …don’t take the bet
RA: Haha!! I wont take the bet only because I want u to come lol ;P
(Sudden Long Silence – no emails)
Me:Itna sannata kyu hai bhaai?
RA: That was awesome tho lol…..thats a good idea for the ball…..i will just wear a shawl and try to squeeze my arms inside my kurta…..pity no one will understand lol
MVM: I dont understand
Me: God..hvnt u seen sholay…usmein AK Hangal ka famous dialog hai – itna sannata kyu hai bhai….Then listening to this raj came up with the idea to dress up like thakur aka Sanjeev Kumar…
MVM: not seen sholay ppl…
Me:Waah…girl do watch sholay….its a complete time pass and if u r too adventurous watch ram gopal varma ki aag!
HAHHA wat say u RA?
RA:For sure!! Hahaha …But sholay is an amazing movie…..the funny thing is that they kill the better actor of the two in the movie lol
Me: See they had to..they didn’t wanted to create unnecessary attention towards widow remarriage..thats y killed jai..
The producer and director were actually creating a masala potboiler and never thought it’d be written down in history – so the enormous success was by fluke
RA:O yeah true widow marriage wud have landed them in trouble lol……but lets not spoil the fun for MVM……we will criticise it once she watches it too
MVM:Gosh you need to join ndtv or timesofindia and write about movies !!
I can never get into technicalities of a movie!! watching it and njoying and forgetting is all I do when i watch a movie!
Me: Well actually I use to write movie reviews earlier for every movie I use to see..but nw I dnt get time…
So yeah…thr was time whn I wanted to become a film critic and write for some magazine or paper..
So sigh!!

Try Mumtaz’s look in ‘Aaj kal tere mere pyar ke charche’. That one was really cool.
at the last line!

@ Amit – Naah not Mumtaz..I am gonna dress up like a mughal princess.. a la Madhubala…that\’d be classic.. Mumtaz -ummm kiwis might not relate to her….but Mughal -ummm definitely..
