Come September..

hi,

the title must have made you think about the famous movie from the 60's. just for fun google on "come september" and wikipedia gives you the info - Come September is a 1961 romantic comedy film directed by Robert Mulligan, and starring Rock Hudson, Gina Lollobrigida, Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin.

Now our "Come September" is a 2010 remake of the 60's hit. this plot revolves around a practicing CA's life. just a small change - we'll remove the romance out. comedy can still be there at times... And for the characters... we have the CA in the lead role. working against all odds, all day and all night... spends sleepless nights to achieve his goals... always spoken badly of by his clients.

As of now, the movie is being made. perfect shots are under progress (Audits underway). the most difficult scenes to shoot are being planned (XML conversion of ITR), climax fight sequence being thought of (uploading ITR), editing of fight sequences already shot (destroying waste query sheets). all this to achieve those deadlines which are not deadlines for a CA...!! ohh shit.. we forgot some characters.. God knows where the auditees / clients have gone.. anyway, they are the characters in a special role (only for signatures). dont be surprised if they turn up late for the shooting. We have to accommodate them.. but nonetheless, we'll make a mention of them in the credits section.

And after the movie is finally released, the characters wait for their pay cheques as do the real movie stars... the only difference is that the last two zeros in the film stars' cheques become the first two zeros in the pay cheque our our poor heroes..

post September, another movie would commence shooting - Fahrenheit 30/09....

till then, happy shooting...

Oh Fu**, I m rejected....

Well....

with immense grief and sorrow, I declare that I have not been selected for the Mumbai Marathon 2011. Shit... that is so pathetic. the feeling of rejection somehow does not sink in still. after running continuously for 5 years, these so called selectors, reject an ardent runner.... e-mails fly around after the ballot, but no respite. no selections yet. they say you ran (walked) for more than 3 hours. so cant select you.. that was the selection criteria. i said WTF... Never declared such a criteria in the past. what i see is now a clear commercialisation of the SCMM. forget half marathon, my friends say, participate in the dream run... i say - "NO. its the determination, perseverance that keeps you going in the 21kms run. and you want me to dream for 6.5 kms...??"

but the question still remains - what next?? there's still some chance... some cheating... anyway, no one can prevent anyone from running in the streets of Mumbai. be it any day... just what you need is the marathon running number.. that can be managed... i have very lovely friends who can just do the needful. please guys, think of some bright idea. help me join you in the SCMM 2011....
