The Ghajini Fever.

It has been over three months that the South Indian remake, Ghajini came onto the big screen. The film is based on short term memory loss, the character being portrayed by the Indian superstar Amir Khan. In the movie, the character was a well off businessman, who fell in love, but in the course of the incidence, she got murdered. Incidentally, the character was hit on his head that initiated the short term memory loss. On a tryst to achieve a revenge, the man used to inscribe his tasks on his body in form of tatooes. Feels quite fabulous, well Mr.Khan went a step ahead in ensuring that he made 8-pack Abs for the movie. His gruelling diet was in air for the new year with many making it a New Year resolution as a diet chart.
But the fever is somewhere else.
Yesterday, I was coming back home after seeing my friend off. I was seated inside the metro when two ladies came and took the place infront of mine. I would pick up some bits of their conversation, and the fever of Ghajini became prominent in a part of their discussion. Both were working ladies and were very tired, on their way home. They needed abrisk laugh, and Ghajini had in store for them.
Lady 1: "janis, kal ekta khabor pelam." (Do you know, I heard a news yesterday)
Lady 2: "ki ki?" (What is the news?)
Lady 1: "amar sathe kaaj kore je didi... ki jeno naam..." (The lady who is my colleague...well what is her name....)
Lady 2: "kone didi?" (Which lady?)
Lady 1: "arre oi j... dhur baba...ki obostha...naam tai bhule gelam...roz kaaj korchi... ekdin gari te chorte onar bari giye kachuri kheye elam...! Chih Chih! Amar ki dosha re!!" (That one..shit! I am in a very bad state..everyday I am working with her...went to her house for a delicacy, that too in a car...Shit! I am disgraceful!)
Lady 2: "Amir Khan holi naki re?" (Are you becoming Amir Khan?)
Lady 1: "Yes Ghajini... He He He!"
Lady 1 took out her mobile and broswed her contact register to get hold of the name... Shalini.

Before Ghajini many people took this simply...now they have a word to describe it...Ghajini...
In the terms of Madhur Bhandarkar's PAGE3, I can describe that, we all are becoming too filmy... just now I mentioned in context of a film... got the point!!! :-P
