Indian Idol...???







The show, Indian Idol has been on air for the past 3-4 months now and I have never watched it regularly, contrary to the hype it has created in India, especially in the metros here. I used to watch the initial episodes and was quite bored with it.
Yesterday i was hearing FM and there was a radio recap of the final show which happened day before. Just two contenders now vying for the top slot. And i got an opportunity to hear them yesterday. Must say, they both sing well..tough choice!!

Contestant No.1: Abhijeet Sawant(pic on the left)
Strengths: Pleasant voice, smile, presentation and style.
Prediction: Tipped to win

Contestant No.2: Amit Sana(pic on the right)
Strengths: Rich voice with a sound classical base, innovative
Prediction: Tough opponent in Abhijeet and may lose out in the end stages though Bhilai, the place from where Amit hails wouldn't hope so!!!

My vote, just on the basis of hearing 3 songs of each goes to Amit Sana....his voice touched me somwhere and that's very important while listening to any form of music. The voice or the song through which you are able to connect to the listener is what makes a good song.

The phone lines or sending SMSes are open for voting till 5th March. Everyone is busy voting 'n' no.of times for their favourite person...:)
As for me, May the better person win!!!

Last but not the least, these two are performing at the Filmfare awards nite which is gonna be telecast live 2day. And the reason , undoubtedly for me being excited is because SRK has 3 nominations..:D:D!!! Filmfare, being on its 50th anniversary have changed their trophy colour from black to gold. And SRK, as usual with his live performance is gonna rock and walk away with the award for Swades..:)Will post that pic of his soon...:)

Im not gonna be watching the awards tonite..:( as i have an exam tommorrow..so keeping my fingers crossed for that...:) That's it from me now....take care!!

Theme Song Premiere...

Every serial has a song by which its recognised everywhere. A blog talk show shouldn't be any different...but the only difference here would be that you can't hear the song playing... you can just see the lyrics.

Just come and sit on the couch,
just feel a soothing touch,
Just let the thoughts and dreams unfold,
just let's talk of tales untold,
Its the time to take a refreshing sip
Its the time for tea with Di(ee)ps

Just relax and just unwind,
just feel free to speak your mind,
Just take a break and manage a smile,
just let go and walk a mile,
Its the time to take a refreshing sip
Its the time for tea with Di(ee)ps

So the countdown to the show begins in some days from now. Just zeroing on which celebrities to focus on the first show..or should i say...give my interpretation of them...;)..:p!!!

Hints:
One of my guests is gonna be the speedster who is in news for all the wrong reasons!!
The second of my guests is beautiful and gorgeous. She makes even eating popcorn look delicious..:) Any guesses????

And last but not the least...thank you everyone for such an overwhelming response to the show..:) And as far interviewing bloggies goes....if i get a chance then sure why not!!:D!!

Till the next episode....adios and i'll be back soon!!!

Tea With Deeps...

After a lot of thinking(:p)..I have decided to start a talk-show series on this blog. The talk show will be named "Tea With Deeps". I have decided to name it this way for the following reasons:-

1)First I have to admit that the inspiration to this title was from the show "Koffee With Karan"..:p!!!
2)I dont drink coffee (Except for cold coffee) and so obviously it had to be tea!!! And the title "Kold Koffee with Deeps" just didnt sound too happening or original.
3)I am sick of this "K" factor in serials as if other alphabets in A-Z just dont hold any importance. Plus moroever i dont have the bucks to pay to some khandaani numerologist!!!
4)Tea is cheaper than coffee to provide to the guests who'll be coming on my show...economical production costs...u see...:D!!
5)Plus itll be the first talk show that will be blog telecast live..:D!! The talk show host will definitely be me..so no need of expensive sets, designer clothes...etc etc...just plain humour..:d!!

So here goes....

TEA WITH DEEPS

premiering next week

hosted by

Deeps

All of you are cordially invited

to hang around this blog

Hold your breath everyone..I'll try my best to make it a blog show with a difference..:) The only thing i cant say is if itll be a weekly show or a 15-days show actually (depends on the guests availability..:p) But it'll be an interesting series for sure. Celebrity contests, gifts, quizzes everything is gonna be there!!! No smsin, no phone calls..just pure commenting...Enjoy!!!

And the typical warning too...

All the opinions and views expressed on this blog-channel are purely of the host and the guests who'll be featured and this doesnt reflect the opinion of the general public as a whole. Please do not try to emulate the actions shown on this channel!!

Yay......50 posts old!!!

Well i just suddenly happened to notice that I have actually managed to write 50 posts successfully..:D!!! This surely calls for a toast and a standing ovation..:p..thank you thank you!!! To be honest when i entered the blog world...i really didnt think that i would continue to post for long. So 50 posts does sound good.
Thanks to all my readers who do take time to read my blog. A big thanks to people who actually comment..that sure does keep me going. And an even bigger thanks to people who appreciate my kind of writing...:D!!! Each little thing makes me feel worthwile!!!!
Right now the 3-digit figure of post number 100 looks far off but be sure that ill be around!!!

Once again, thank you all very much..:-)

Us....

Two individuals, two separate entities
Two natures, two likes
Two dislikes, two minds
But two hearts and one soul
That would be US.....

Two sets of friends, two sets of families
Two types of nature, two types of adjustments
Two birthdays, two zodiac signs
But only one place will we reside
In each other's hearts
That would be US.....

Two goals, two ambitions
Two joys, one sorrow
Two pasts, one present
And hopefully one future
That would be US.....

Stupid Cupid....!!!!

Valentine's Day is almost there and here I am sitting and thinking then when am I really gonna have a proper blast on Valentines. Every passing year I think that next year ill definitely be celebrating this day and the same old story continues...i just land up thinking..hehehe!!!!
Though i think that if i meet someone special on a a particular day then i wud land up celebrating that day as our Valentines Day and not Feb 14th..:p!! But all said and done this is the day 4 all the people going around...the "love is is surely in the air" and everyone starts getting the hang of it. This is the day when gifts and cards are given, dates are planned and candlelights are in full swing. It is the day when someone makes u feel that extra bit special. So heres wishing all my friends (both single and those who are going around) a very HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!
As for me i think ill really wait till Stupid Cupid finally decides 2 strike the arrow on me...;) No hurries whatsoever cos after all sabr ka fal meetha hota hai..:p!!

"Awesome" Time....!!!!

Should I term it as "meeting someone from the blog world" or "meeting Arul's friend" or what I exactly dont know but all I can say that at the end of the meeting it was like "meeting an old friend"..:-)!! It was nice to meet Saurabh at last in Mumbai which was his last stoppage in India too.
Well we caught up on a movie the first day. His friend, Koshy had also joined us and it was really nice meeting him too. Then we got talking on a lotta things like Bengali weddings, Allahabad, friends and his Kenyan schooling etc etc...:p!!!! It was really very enlightening to get 2 know all this and I just didnt come to know when the bus journey got over. I think i just managed to teach him how to read numbers in Hindi so that it wud help him 2 read bus numbers and the ticket denominations in Buffalo...hehehee..:D!!!!
On the second day it was really even more enlightening..talked about vada pavs, people again, party circuits, geography, life, and of course last but not the least black marble!!!! Then of course there was my escalator debut too...:D!!!! Then it was searching for some music and VCDs but hard luck that we couldnt find the kinda songs or the VCD that we wanted. So it was an eventful day with not a single dull moment. I almost feel like u name it and me and him would have landed up talkin about it!!
All in all, a nice and genuine person..and I had an awesome time....thanx for everything and its been really nice meeting u..:-)!!!

Update after long....

Guess i am posting my next post after a very long time. This struck me yesterday when i got a call from Hari saying that shes bored of seeing the SRK picture on my blog and that its high time for it to go now and a next post is very much in due.
Things have been going pretty m uch the same for me. But its been a week filled with occasions and meeting all my friends. I have really enjoyed the past few days...:-)!!
Nam's engagement happened at last and it was awesome. She looked reely happy and of course she deserves all the credit for managing her relation s beautifully for god knws how long a time now..:D!!! Also met up with Maith and Vrush and it was nice catchin up with them after such a long time. Miss my engineerng days a little only for the timepass that we all used to do. Plus this time of the year its Gandhar time, our college fest.....i remember the plays that i used to take part in, the flower arrangement and the salad competitions, the debates and of course the days..out of vich we used to be enthusiastic about everything. I am sure al l the preliminary competitions must have started in college now.
Then it was time for Nirav's wedding. Just felt so nice and amazing to attend a school friend's wedding!!! Just thought that how time flies off!! Was nice 2 catch up with Phal and Sangi as usual. We met one of our classmates Roohi at the wedding. After seeing us she just remarked "You three have just not changed...you all look just the same"!!! I think she was mentioning about the overall physical appearance but i guess nothing has changed in our friendship too which is the best thing. Changes in thinkin, outlook, attitude are always gonna be there..i guess thats inevitable!! By the way Phal..our discussion on change is still pending..;)!!!
Will keep posting more regularly hopefully now..:-) Take care all!!!
