i saw this mobike recently @ my gym parking area..looks pretty cool isn’t it..its a HONDA CBR.

On the whole, MY NAME IS KHAN is a fascinating love story, has an angle of religion and a world-shaking incident as a backdrop. It not only entertains, but also enthrals and captivates the viewer in those 2.40 hours

Rizwan Khan (Shahrukh Khan) suffers fromAsperger’s Syndrome a disorder which makes it difficult for people to interact socially, and comes to live with his younger brother (Jimmy Shergill) in the US after their mother dies. He can′t express love and is uncomfortable interacting with people.

Rizvan Khan falls in Love with Mandira(Kajol)who works in a  beauty saloon,she already has a kid(Sameer) with her ex-husband.She divorced her husband few years back.

Rizvan & Mandira get married & are well settled..but things take a U turn as the september 11 attack on twin towers take place..their son is killed by few local students..& mandira asks Rizvan to leave home..as she feels Rizvan & his religion was the reason she lost her son.Rizvan is shattered but his unability to express it to her & show that he cares forces him to leave her at home.. & move away from her life..but as he leaves he also promises to himself he will reach the President of United States & deliver his message that MY NAME IS KHAN & I AM NOT A TERRORIST.

The Story starts with Rizvan’s journey through US to reach the president,he keeps writing it in the book & also we are shown what obstacles he faces in his loong lonely journey.At the End He gets to meet the president & his message is delivered that I am Khan,I am a Muslim & I am not a Terrorist.

Here are the Few scenes & things i liked about the movie,putting them in points.

• Shahrukh & Kajol as usual sizzled on screen.
• Shahrukh’s character which suffered from Aspereger’s Syndrome was well played by him..Kudos!
• Songs were placed according to the situations Sajda was too good & also Noor-e-Khuda.
• Screenplay& Direction was nice.

1. The scenes where SRK moves through his journey with noor-e-khuda song in the back ground was very touching.
2. SRK falling short of money & takes a placard on the roads & displays it.. that reads ‘Repair almost anything’ & repairs vehicles to earn money for his journey.
3. SRK talking about his son in the church & singing along Hum Honge Kamiyaab Ek Din(We shall overcome some day).
4. Shahrukh’s initial scenes with kajol were funny & humorous..the way he describes & shows his love towards her.

Thus the film gives away the message the way it intended..it shows that good & bad people are everywhere.Irrespective of one’s religion we should care for each other after all we are humans.Try to give a helping hand to someone & u can show him a better path & a new ray of light & hope.

Over all i would give this film a  4 out of 5.

well lets look at some of the things i look back in 2009!

* Uninor : Uninor is the 8th GSM operator that entered Hyderabad. It is the latest GSM operator that was launched in Hyderabad.Uninor is a joint-venture between India’s Unitech wireless and Norwegian telecom Telenor.

The launch, as the company claims is the largest single day launch in telecom history, as the service is now available to 550 million people, i.e. 7 circles – Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Bihar & Uttar Pradesh (East & West).

Uninor Pricing:

Uninor will be retailed at 210,000 point of sale via ~1000 distributors – the company offers two plans, ‘talklonger@29p/min’ and ‘Callmore@29p/min’.

While other telcos are bringing down the pricing from 1 paisa/sec to 0.5 paisa/sec, Uninor raises the bar with 29p/min (which is still lower than 0.5p/sec).

TalkMore offers local calls @29 p/minute (with setup charge of 39p), while Callmore offers calls at 29 paise and STD at 49 paise per minute, with a daily rental of Rs2.

DoCoMo and now Uninor – lets hope we don’t compromise on the network quality.

And i think there will be few more company’s like Virgin Mobile gsm,Etisalat etc..might come up in near future to capture their share in indian gsm mobile services market..the competition is getting intensified, isn’t it.
