The not so amazing spider man!!

First things first: I saw the movie dubbed in hindi.Yes, I did. That was the only show available. Adding to the dismay, Irrfan Khan didn't dub for himself in Hindi. It was like you are watching Irrfan Khan who is not Irrfan Khan. His USP indeed is his nonchalant voice. A baritone which indeed brings in laughter just the way he talks. Plus, he was more like a cameo than the villain. After he is saved from being killed, he vanishes. What do we reckon? He was too busy for shooting further?

There was no Mary Jane. The fact that you change the name of the lead of an eternal super hero romance, which somehow has imbibed into us, is bad. This Gwen name didn't quite sink in.

I think it would only be the Incredible Hulk who could end up wearing 3D  glasses with ease. Mine slipped every now and then. Whom are they designed for? Nobody's that vast. And it was more like watching spider man swishing his web on you. He swung from one building to another. Just like some big outdoor circus.

There was no secrecy about spider man. Even Mary Jane...arrrggghhh Gwen was told he was the large scale spidey. He didn't mind taking the mask off. Being to public about your super powers to attract a beautiful blonde girl from your class is not what super heroes do. They wait till she finds out by herself. It also leads to a three way romance. Peter liking the gal, girl liking spider man, spiderman can't tell the girl. Half of the prior spider man movies were just about the chase for romance. This spider man was way too cool to be showing off.

The leads were better looking indeed. But too much too and fro like a pendulum around buildings made me feel dizzy. In all, a good time pass with family. (Mom can't stop talking about how much she liked the movie. P.S. she has not seen the previous spider man movies.)

Maybe we should't compare this much. The 3D has such an impact on me that I feel like a web would spring out of the screen. I gotto recuperate. I ain't against it. Go watch the movie. But in english.

signs that she is cheating on you

Men have no exclusive franchise of cheating on their partners. Women, too, have the required incorrigible tendency to cheat on their mate, and be very well able to camouflage the same, effortlessly. With the instances of increasing infidelity in living beings as a whole, you might not always wish to hire a professional sleuth to track the veracity of your girl’s statements. Even the most intrepid thief leaves back some hint or the other at every crime scene. Read on to know ways of knowing if things are fishier than what they seem:

1.       Out of conversation- There have been days when you and her would talk through out the night till you hear the birds chirping, and now you are suddenly out of conversation. It’s not your fault. Guys are more of listeners than talkers, unless you are Navjot Singh Siddhu. Gals have an innate ability to make the conversation endless, or make the other person ending up feeling guilty of why he called. If she isn’t that participative or initiative the way she used to be, the probability of her finding a new chat mate are suddenly rocketed.

2.       Uncomfortable- She makes repulsive body gestures when you try getting close. Didn’t she like it when you whispered in her ear? And now all of a sudden she finds it lame and kiddish. She doesn’t even meet often. Hugs have become a far cry? Semi-hugs? Not even hand-shakes? You doubt if you are suffering from some terminal disease which only she’s aware of or you have developed some annoying body fragrance? There’s nothing wrong with you, it’s her.

3.       The number is busy- You don’t remember the last time you called her and her phone wasn’t busy. You either are kept waiting for unconventionally long time or not even that. Every time you ask her whom she was chatting with, the person at the other end of line is always a girl or a relative. She’s all blabbermouth with rest of the world, and out of conversation with you. This is insane. It’s definitely more than a girl-mate or a relative. It’s your competition.

4.       Escapades- She is all adventurous these days. From slumber party with the girls to rock climbing at a hill station, she’s doing it all. Sometimes it’s also an office party at a happening bar and you are only an MCP if you try digging for details. All you get to know is, she’s going and she could have asked you but you wouldn’t feel comfortable, i.e. she wouldn’t feel comfortable.

5.       Doubtfulness- Her behavior is nowhere near a healthy relationship. She snaps back whenever you unleash the inquisitive you. She looks at you in a way, as if saying, “Ask me no questions, and I will tell you no lies.” She pounces for rescue even if you try slyly checking her phone. She thinks you are too narrow minded when you ask her who all friends had she been partying with. She doesn’t let you extract even the vague details. She has something to hide. And you have something to find out.
