University of Pune, Main Building
This is the main building of Pune University. It has a B-E-A-Utiful campus, with lush greenery. Its a paradise in Pune. My 2 years here are the most memorable ones in my life.

Hi this is for the crazy movie channel viewers!!!!
Hi all,
All right!!! Theres a limit to everything. Take for example, the good ol'movie "Terminator" and its sequels, aka T1 T2 T3.
I have seen these tonnes of times, on Star movies and also on HBO. Actually what i think is, that there's a secret pact, between both the above channels in India. Either its a cold war or else they have nobel thoughts of thoroughly educating the viewer, on all the aspects of the Terminator character. Thus when T1 is playing on Star movies... T2 is being telecast on HBO, simultaneously... Really!!! I mean it. It has happened all the time. Similarly vice versa is also true.
Same is the case with the "The Mummy " and "The mummy returns". They too are always being telecast parallelly.
Such is the height of repeatation that, me and my younger sister mute the volume and start saying the dialogues for the characters. Now, you might ask.. why they hell do we bother to watch it then? The simple answer is... all this is fun. Consider this, we can say whatever dialogues, (mostly inappropriate and out of context ones) we want during the scene (since we know what the next frame will be). We can learn a lot by looking at the guys other than the main characters. eg. in T2, do we look at the video games machines and the games they are made for while watching for the first time or second. Thankfully now we can!!!
So the basic point here is, (actually theres no point to all this, but i didnt find a way to conclude this) although these channels earn money .. .they do so by educating the ignorant masses like us. So one day when these movies are added to the school syllabus... we will surely excell.
Bye.
