MAD FAN

Wrestling Fan...always will be

2011-08-18T21:28:00.000+05:30

I am the biggest friggin madfan of wrestling....and have been so ever since i saw my first wrestling match...and i remember very clearly that it was one of Hulk Hogan against King Kong Bundy...

The moment that the hulk smashed away to glory on king kong's face, i decided i am gonna be stuck onto this stuff for the rest of my life...

Its not like i'm some kinda murder loving freak, we all know that the wrestlers rarely get really hurt, so it feels more like a 3d video game...

The suspense, the adrenaline rush and the raw exhibition of masculinity are just a few of the things which contribute to my madness...

Yup , i am a madfan of wrestling and a pretty darn proud one :-)

Mad About Cats

2011-08-15T23:39:00.001+05:30

The chwttttt lil 4-legged cutie creature we call a kitten is definitely god's lil happiness package to the world. You just can't stay angry or sad when you stare at the face of a cute kitten, it just wouldn't be human.

The lil fellow always makes sure that curiosity gets the better of him/her and plays around carelessly with anything. Even their own tail is a prospective toy.

I'v had several cats and their kittens taken care of at my home in the past 7years, but i have still never get bored or irritated by them.

The furry little tail, the cute ears, the sweet innocence, that heart melting meow...just some of the things that make a mad mad mad MadFan of cats :-)

Arnold - the body-building pioneer

2011-08-12T23:39:00.000+05:30

Do i really need to say anything other than ARNOLD???...he is muscular perfection personified...he is synonymous with strength, with body-building,with masculinity...

Arnold Schwarzenegger has been an icon in body-building from the time he won his first title...he brought a humane side to body-building and changed it from a strain weird people take , to a household exercise...

Arnold is the role-model of every guy that has set his foot in a gym...he also proved that language and origin are not hindrances to being successful in hollywood...

i even love his films...and of course everyone that has ever watched a hollywood movie in the past ten years, definitely knows about 'The Terminator'......Arnold created movie history with his paychecks and films...Arnold is definitely my madness...

A.R.Rahman - The Prodigy,The Maestro, The Legend

2011-08-10T09:54:00.000+05:30

A prodigy, a maestro,a legend, these are things that first come to mind when i hear the name A.R.Rahman....

The music composer has been my favorite ever since i heard 'Roja'....he manages to give life to music...it strikes a chord in every mind...

The way he captures the emotion of the screen and conveys it through his music is mind-blowing...And he isn't just confined to a single genre or style...he has proven his mastery over both classical and contemporary music...

And frankly , though i appreciate the fact that he got the Oscar and all, i feel his previous works are much better the ones on Slumdog Millionaire...but.... theres no doubt about the fact that i am a madfan of A.R.Rahman....

Jaden Smith - The Next Fresh Prince

2011-08-10T01:41:00.000+05:30

The Will Smith legacy is in safe hands,seeing what Jaden has offered...the kid is already living the dream life and is doing better most people twice his age....

He has that lovable nature of his dad, the acting /singing talent...and he has the best guide..again , his dad....

Though the credit largely goes to Will Smith, Jaden Smith has already made his mark in Hollywood...

I absolutely loved the kid in Karate Kid (wid Jackie Chan), and it blew my mind ven i came 2 knw tht the lil fellow actually did his own stunts...

And loved how he maintained that witty charm and innocence amidst al de fame....
The 'never say never' track with Justin B showed that part of his character well....i can confidently say tht i am a madfan of Jaden Smith, and he is definitely goin to be an iconic part of Hollywood....

Death Race - Still a fan

2011-08-09T15:06:00.001+05:30

Death Race (2008) was one of the most enjoyably intense films that I’ve ever seen…..The film had it all – stunts,racing,blasts,rockn bgm,nice storyboard…it was lke one of de best wholesome movies for men….dunno if twaz de devilish cars or de mindless explosions or de cool character of Frank(Jason Statham), tht rly made me watch de film,but the film rockedddddd….and yeah its late appreciation , but the fact tht I still remember it made me wanna shw it some love u knw…

The stage 3 scenes were uber cool, especially the way tht friggn truck gets eliminated….And the way they escape is just too gooddd….Yeah sure the whole thing doesn’t rly fit into the practical world, but u gotta agree tht if u hd de chance u defffff wud wanna b in tht kinda race (well of course without the death)….I rly hope the series goes on and on, but more wid Jason Statham, coz he's lyk perfect for the role......I’m a MadFan of Deathrace and will always be…

Chocolates - the best addiction

2011-08-09T02:04:00.000+05:30

To start with, if u ain't a fan of chocolates, then u really gotta have ur senses checked by a doc (unless u r diabetic of course)....i must hav tried lyk almost evry kinda chocolate in the local market, and have been doin so 4 the past 15yrs...but i just can't seem 2 get enuf of it...i'v been able 2 get bored of normal toffee and candy....i'v even been able to control my craving for other sweets.....but, chocolates just keep on makn me want more...

The best part is all the scientific research that shows that the chocolate fanaticism is actually kinda healthy :-) :-) .... that made me guilt-free and kinda hiked my addiction for chocolates....

I am a Madfan of chocolates and i can bet that u r toooo :-)

TCS - the gateway to success

2011-08-08T15:11:00.000+05:30

I havnt joined the company yet, but am alrdy a huge fan of the organization...it rly makes me proud to be part of such a prestigious organization...the best trait in TCS is the way tht they hav always been balancing growth with social responsibility....

More than the commercial success and the fact tht the company is a leader in their field, it is the philanthropic wrk of the Tata group which really makes me lost in admiration....

TCS has always been able to show the world that not everything is abt money....and tht there is a humane side to development ...I am also in awe of the way tht the group provides infrastructure and facilities to their employees (frm wat i'v read)...they have exploded into every layer of the IT field and made sure they lead in each one of them......

TCS is more like a global family than an industrial organization...i am already a MadFan of TCS and am sure tht the madness will nly keep incrsn aftr i join :-)

People who know me would definitely be surprised on seeing this, coz i wasn't the kinda guy that went to clg regly :-) ...and i really didn't feel much for it, until now...as the holidays went on day by day...i realized how much i really missed my college days.....i miss being late to class, miss having to sit n copy tons of assignments, miss sitting in the corridors and trying my hand at cramming for exams in the last minute...miss the bunking, miss the scolding, miss the tyms in the canteen....

sure , when we were der , we always wished 2 jz b abl 2 get outta der....bt now the irony strikes...now i regret not spendn enuf tym...regret the missed opportunities of friendship, regret the haste in savoring the experience, regret not shown more appreciation....

Poker - just can't live without it

2011-08-07T20:00:00.000+05:30

Poker has been my favorite hobby for the past 3 years...it's grown from just an activity to more of an addiction...frankly, i nvr thot twud b such a craze...i mean i'v seen it in movies all the time, but,mostly its all shown as a bad thing and seemed kinda slow...but, from the first time i started playn, i realized it was so darn thrilling and really like fuel for my competitive spirit...

At first twaz just me and my frnds...but thn v managed to bring aboard my cousins,uncles and aunts....now every single weekend v hav a round of tournaments wid my frnds and family...

I am definitely a MadFan of Poker...v mostly go with straight poker, but are tryn a hand at other versions too...now poker starts to feel more like a weekly ritual than just a game...my week feels incomplete without that essential game of poker....its almost like life doesn't go on without it

The Best Of Friends - SHOLAY

2011-08-07T09:44:00.000+05:30

I just realized my madness for Sholay when i started thinking about friendship day....Jai (Amitabh) and Veeru (Dharmendra) are one of the best examples of true friendship shown on Indian cinema....The innocence, the sharing of thoughts, the way that they seem to always be in that same wavelength...its all just so so amazing....make me wish for the good old days....

Sholay was not just a simple movie about friendship and music..it was and still is one of Indian cinema's biggest hits...It is the most legendary film in bollywood and one that has often inspired many....The greatness of the film is such that it has actually been passed on to the current generation by parents as a piece of advice to see and learn some values...

I can bet that any hindi film audience would readily agree to sit through a screening of this epic film no matter how many times they have seen it before...

They didn't have to rely on fancy graphics or stylised songs to make the film successful...it ran purely on the elements of true human emotions.....I am definitely a proud MadFan Of Sholay...

She is young, talented, gorgeous, and absolutely awesomeeeee...Lady Gaga is without a doubt , my extreme madness....

Pizza Pizza Pizza

2011-08-06T09:26:00.000+05:30

I seriously dunno what to say except that i am a hugeeeeee madfan of Pizza....there just isn't any other fast food that can come even remotely close to the pleasure of having a hot pizza...

That aroma of melted cheese coupled with the colorful toppings is an experience that really thrills all the senses...My visits to the pizza hut in the weekends have been nothing less than magical....the anticipation and the comfort that comes while waiting for the pizza to be delivered is something that i truly relish...a pizza somehow manages to uplift my mood no matter what, and is my best comforting food.....i am mad about pizzas and whenever i am hungry , the only word that comes to mind is pizza pizza pizza

(Ghajini) Surya - The Perfect Actor

2011-08-05T22:19:00.000+05:30

I absolutely <3 <3 <3 <3 Suryaaaaa...i am a mad mad madfan of him....he is the most perfect actor that i have ever seen....after Ghajini, he raised the level of perfection to a completely different level....the way he got into the skin of both the characters is absolutely amazing....and Oh My God!!!! the awesomeeee body that he made for 'Vaaranam Aayiram' just made me speechless...the way he puts in effort and hardwork for the character is not what is seen in many other actors...

And there is absolutely no doubt about the fact that he is one heck of a super duper handsome fellow...he looks hotttt in any attire and in any character....

He is one of the few people who can do both intense and comedy scenes with equal scenes...and his choice of films is always different and lets him exhibit the range of his talent....he is one of south India's biggest ever finds and is an evergreen actor...

I am a MadFan of the South Indian superstar Surya....the perfect actor

Amitabh - The Big B

2011-08-05T08:34:00.001+05:30

The Big B is ma madddddddnesss....whethr as the angry young man or as the old guy that oozes cool...Amitabh Bachchan is definitely one of India's Greatest and most legendary actors...

The range of roles that the BIg B has done through the years is phenomenal...ther just isn't a role that he hasn't done...whethr its in 'Sarkar' 'Sholay' 'Paa' or 'Cheeni kum' , Amitabh makes sure to leave his mark in eery film and in every frame...

He comes across a gentleman, a great father, a legendary actor, and great narrator....And the few songs that he has lended his voice to are also one of my favorite classics...

His family is like Bollywood's first family, but obviously the others diminish in stature compared to the Big B. I would do anything to be able to spend even a minute in the presence of the most dominating figure on Indian Cinema,Amitabh...I am totally a MadFan of Amitabh Bachchan and will always be :-) :-)

Michael Jackson Lives On Forever

2011-08-05T01:56:00.001+05:30

Regardless of all the controversies, M.J was and will always be the undeniable 'King Of Pop'...He wasn't just an entertainer or a celebrity, he was much much more...he was a legend....

I grew up listening to M.J ,and like half the people of my generation, looked upon Michael as the ultimate entertainer...he had the dance, the music, the passion..he was truly an icon....

Its tough to point to a single favorite, but to mention a few -'Smooth Criminal', 'Black or white','Beat It' are tunes which still make me want to get up and dance...

The trademark 'moonwalk' dance is not just amazing to watch but is also one of the most attempted dance steps in the world without a doubt....

The news of Michael Jackson's death surely was a matter of grief for every M.J fan ....and i want to proclaim today that he will never be forgotten...coz Michael Jackson Lives On forever in the hearts of every entertainer and lover of music...M.J R.I.P

Anyone and everyone that knows cars exist, will definitely know about the legendary car -ferrari...I just dunno how to let you know how mad i am about ferraris....

Its not just the exquisite styling or the unparalleled performance or the high-profile price tag, its the whole package, the 'wow' factor that comes with the car, that really makes me crave it....

Its a status symbol and an engineering marvel..The sheer power of the engine makes it a supreme force on the tracks...The dream car of every car, the ferrari is definitely my madness.

Harry Potter Once More

2011-08-01T13:47:00.002+05:30

Ever since the first book came out i'v been a part of the Pottermania....I remember how v used 2 hav quizzes in class asking each other about the spells, and lines...We were living in a world of fantasy....The way that J.K.Rowling narrates the story almost makes u feel like atleast some of it must be true....

I really can't make up my mind on whether i am crazier about the book or the movie...

Tiz been long years of standing in lines and overnight reading marathons..but like all good things, the Potter era had to come to an end...

In fact this is not just my proclamation of being a MadFan of Harry Potter, but also a request to J.K and everyone else to plsssssssss bring the magic back once more....

I'm sure everyone who has ever watched the sitcom wished they had a group of friends like on the show...Each character had a clearly defined personality and somehow always managed to make you like them...I just can't decide on whether i like Joey, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe or Monica better....Just can't see them as individuals..in fact even when i see anyone from the cast acting in films, their names from friends is what always comes to mind....Miss u lots ....I am and will always be the MadFan of Friends.

Counterstrike - The Unbeatable Legacy

2011-07-31T12:21:00.003+05:30

I still remember the hype that Counterstrike created amongst out friends and how the neighbourhood soon started filling up with internet cafes that were dedicated to ‘counterstike sessions’. I was definitely apprehensive at first but soon turned out to be an addict.

The exhilarating action and the active involvement required for the game made me spend hours together on it. It was like a secret worship that we were all doing. Though game sto day have far better graphics and a whole lot of different gameplay options, I somehow still feel they just don’t quite make it like they used to. The legacy of Counterstrike still rules.

Eminem - The White Rapper With A Black Soul

2011-07-31T08:27:00.001+05:30

The White rapper with a black soul – that’s the best suited description for Eminem. He has always been known for not “sugar-coating” his words.

Though smothered with a lot of provocative and obscene lyrics, his songs always seem to have a different perspective and feel to it. The masterpieces like ‘lose yourself’, ‘I’m not afraid’, ‘Without me’, ‘My name is’ are all songs that revolutionised my playlist and laid the guidelines to how I approached a song.

My appreciation for Rap and the understanding of raw music definitely has it’s roots in the Shady Records. I personally don’t support the numerous feuds he has had with fellow music artists, but hey it’s a jungle out there and ‘survival of the fittest ‘ is the thumb rule. Hate him or love him, but you just can’t live without him. I’m an Eminem MadFan.

Jackie Chan - The Smiling Tough Guy

2011-07-30T21:52:00.001+05:30

One of Asia’s most well-known actors, and the one who softened kung-fu with his cheerful nature and gave it a wide audience. I’v been a Jackie Chan fan from when I was a lil kid. My favourite Chan films are ‘Karate Kid’ , ‘Rush Hour Trilogy’, ‘Shanghai Noon’. Only Jackie could have executed those roles with such perfection and ease.

Jackie Chan always manages to bring a certain pleasant aura to the screen. He established the 'do your own stunts' phase in films. He always manages to amaze and thrill the audience through spectacular uses of everyday items.

He is definitely much more than just an actor , and is more of a cultural icon. Though famous for his action, Jackie is also a producer, director, singer, screenwriter and much more. I am a MadFan of Jackie Chan and will always be.

Sachin Tendulkar - The God Of Cricket

2011-07-30T16:11:00.001+05:30

I wouldn't have ever been a cricket fan if it wasn't for Sachin. The master blaster has been a source of inspiration for many a cricketer and is one of the single most influential factors for the huge popularity of cricket in my country (India). The guts and confidence that he showed at the tender age of 16, exemplifies his stature as a prodigy and not just a cricketer.

There are only few records that he hasn't equaled or broken in his iconic career. The 2011 World Cup showed the respect and admiration that the whole nation has for him.

I am yet to recover from the announcement of his retirement plans.I just can't imagine seeing cricket without Tendulkar playing

But, whether active on the field or not, Tendulkar will always be known as the God Of Cricket, and i am proud to say that i am not just a fan of Sachin, i am a MadFan of Sachiun Tendulkar.

Justin Bieber Fever

2011-07-30T13:37:00.001+05:30

Baby baby baby ooohhh....The teen sensation -Justin Bieber won over the hearts of millions within a few years. Probably one of the most successful artists in his age group. Just can't deny how he brought pop back to life.

And he is sooo cute :-). A hearthrob of millions of girls like me who suffer from Bieber fever. The enchanting voice and smooth dance steps make him an all-in-one teen idol.

As he grows i hope he tries his hand at more styles of music and acting. Never say never is one of my all-time favorites and the J.B-Jaden (Justin Bieber, Jaden Smith) duo is truly awesome. Hope the collaboration comes out with more hit songs. I am deffff a MadFan of Justin Bieber...

The Super Supercar - Audi R8

2011-07-30T09:23:00.001+05:30

The Audi R8 according to me is the measuring scale for all supercars. It's the car that every other car strives to be. The sleek design and the tremendously powerful engine is a lethal combination.

You just won't be able to take your eyes of it if you really appreciate beauty. A perfect symbol of engineering at it's best. A dream on 4 wheels, an embodiment of automotive excellence...i could just go on and on and still not be able to capture the essence of this supercar.

I had the good fortune of stepping inside an Audi R8 during an exhibition, and it was like heaven to me. The sheer feel of the car, along with the pride attached to the Audi brand gave me goosebumps all over. I am truly a Mad Mad MadFan of Audi R8.

Been a soccer fan all my life, but seeing Messi play took it to the next level. Such control and expertise at such a young age is remarkable.The fame and money have definitely not done anything to curb the explosive talent of soccer's golden boy.

The outstanding Champions League performances and Crucial roles in Argentina games have shown how he leaves his mark in every game that he plays. Always keeping the team more important than an individual is a trait that i really admire in him.

Being a soccer player myself, i often realize that people like Messi are born and can't be made. No hours of practice can create such magnificence. It just has to be there in you. The only reason i ever watch a Barcelona match is definitely to see Messi play. The way he is able to manipulate the field and finish in grand style has definitely mad me a MadFan of Messi.

Fresh Prince Forever - Will Smith

2011-07-29T22:12:00.001+05:30

The greatest entertainer to set foot in Hollywood. Will smith is not just my favorite actor but also one of my favorite singers. He is probably the most clean rap artist ever. When it comes to talent, he definitely is one of the finest of modern times. You just can't get such a perfect mix of music, acting, comedy and good looks.

Ever since he starred as 'The Fresh Prince', Will Smith has been my icon. I literally grew up taking lessons from his shows and movies. I'v been amazed at how he changed from being an irresponsible kid in 'the Fresh Prince', to a legendary actor in 'Ali'. The transition has been phenomenal. And who can forget the 'uber cool' attitude he always has, like in the MIBs.

One of the very few celebs who never had to resort to any cheap gimmick to get noticed. Always standing tall and handsome above the rest of the crowd. And a great father. Absolutely delighted to see the legacy of Will Smith nurtured and continued in his children, Jaden n Willow.

Just wanna let you know Will, that i definitely am your Most Acutely Desiring Fan....

Your passions exhibit your personality...they decide your priorities....they show how different, enthusiastic and lively you are...they define you as a person.....and thats exactly what being a fan is all about....its about making a statement - that you are not just one amongst the crowd

So why not let the world know about it ?..
