midsummer rains.....

by akhilis2cool » Sun Apr 04, 2004 3:53 pm

boy whata break we have had from hot summer till now. it has rained twice in th last five days. i dont believe this is summer :D . if this goes on then hyd's water crisis will be a thing of the past.



i absolutely enjoy getting drenched in rain. its even better if i am driving back home in rain. ever tried eating an ice cream in rain? i tried it once on the ntr marg last year....expressions on bystanders' faces were to be seen to be believed.



it is great that hot summer is being interuppted with rain showers.



what say?

One of my fav songs too ...



Picturised pretty well. Did anyone know Gene Kelly actually had fever while he was shooting for this song!!



Wonder if its just us Indians who love rain? There's a saying that goes India can be bedescribed by 3 Ms : Mangoes, Monsoons and Movies. Cant imagine an Indian not liking any of the them!!

Well pataa nahi I guess since it was too old and stuff was a lil slow to my liking. It was rated in the top 10-20 movies of all time greats i guess!



But yes TNT did entertain me for a good number of years .. seen some very good movies. Classics, comedies, suspense they were all there. I do miss it now. :(



Hey azazel where do you get these CDs ....

My colleagues been there.



The membership is like Rs 2000. You could then rent their DVDs at Rs 50(this I am not sure).

For a group of 10 ppl to watch a DVD you need to pay up 1000 Rs.

the membership costs 3000/- [1K refundable] , the DVD rent is 75/- or 100/- but for 3 days! the collection deserves that man..

yes, there is a mini-theater that can accomodate 11 ppl for 1000/- per screening.. free popcorn :wink:

yea, movie-club would be awesome :roll:
