Bow down to MAGADHEERA !!

My brother, the great blogger, Kamal - http://www.kamaldshah.com/ had seen Magadheera within the first week of its release. This is by no means a small feat. To get a ticket of this super hyped up movie running to packed houses was an achievement. The next day on asking him about how the movie was, he remarked "Super duper colossal hit". Now, coming from an 'almost' Ram Charan Tej fan club member it was an obvious remark.

Anyways, considering that it might be a movie worth watching, even if not a super duper colossal hit, I opted to give it a shot. The venue this time was Prasads. The first scene shows the death of the great warrior 'Kaal Bhairava' and his love interest. Fast forward 400 years and you are in the present. Enter young and stylish RAM CHARAN TEJ. The movie breezily moves on with some light moments between the protagonist and the actress Kajal Agarwal. While this portion is very good what blows your mind away is the track 400 years behind where it is an out and out RAM CHARAN show. The entire scale of the movie is grand and does full justice to the 70mm screen. Full credit to the director to take a good movie and make it what it is.

This movie is truly a 'super duper colossal hit' and what makes it one is the mind blowing depiction of Kaal Bhairava by the fantastic Ram Charan Tej. He proves beyond doubt that he is the son of the MEGASTAR. Speaking of which, Magadheera springs up a surprise special appearance by the Megastar himself. This is another highlight of the movie. The one negative that comes across in this movie is the crudity of a few scenes. This certainly is an Adult movie strictly not for children.

There's no stopping this warrior from winning the hearts of its audiences. 8.5/10 for this epic !

Would u like it with ice cream ?

I have been a big fan of the Cafe Frappe at the popular Cafe Coffee Day since years now. The wonderful taste of this drink at this joint hasn't changed over the years. I used to be so regular at one point when I would simply call n ask them to keep a frappe ready while I would go n just pick it up without having to wait.

In recent times however I have cut down my intake of the frappe and rarely visit Coffee Day. There is one innovative sales idea that some empty head at Coffee Day has come up with. I placed the order of the usual Cafe Frappe and was asked -"Do you want it with ice cream?" As I had not been frequenting it often I assumed that there were some changes in the manner it is made. The usual frappe was made with two scoops of Vanilla ice cream, a little milk, a small portion of coffee and two sachets of sugar. As I surely wanted it to have the same taste I answered in the affirmative. When the waiter brought my frappe, I was surprised to see an extra scoop of ice cream on the top of my frappe. I didn't complain. However, I understood the ploy when the check arrived. Those scoundrels had charged 25 bucks for that scoop of ice cream over n above the cost of the frappe.

Once bitten twice shy! On each of my subsequent visits to Coffee Day I have been faced with the same question by the waiter. Now, however, I make it a point to tell them that I want THE USUAL WAY IT'S MADE. I do not want to tell them NO and end up receiving the frappe WITHOUT any ice cream at all.
