Please do not read this post.

Pre script : When there is a post script why can't there be a pre script?
After going through all my other posts(though none would have done it so far), junta might think I only write serious stuff. So, I decided to write something funny. (what a funny title ha ha ha....)Ok..ok...I will tell the truth. Actually I found the idea of a pre script funny and wanted to add it some how into a blog. As, I didnt get any proper idea for a post, I am writing this junk to use it as a context for that(Please do not let this stop you from reading further. Infact, you must be proud of me being truthful).
Thanks for not stopping reading. I will not disappoint you. Infact I will make you happy by stopping here. Hope you found this post funny enough(atleast I didn't bore you with a 1000 words).
Post Script(a.k.a PS) : When there is a pre script or you wrote really less, there will be a post script.
PPS : please dont make this post stop you from following my blog.

1 idiot

I have recently watched a movie which I think atleast 15% India has watched(maybe, even more). Yes, I am referring to 3 Idiots. It so happened that this beautiful movie was "inspired" from a stupid book(dude, its my opinion) titled " Five point someone: What not to do in IIT". This created quite a controversy as the film-makers didn't acknowledge this 'truth' in the movie and the author got angry. He felt he didn't get what he deserved.

I agree that the story and the setting of the movie has a number of similarities to the book. But that is where the similarity ends. Infact, what I observed was the movie is the quite opposite of the book.

Both the book and movie are about 3 idiots. But, in the book they end up as losers where as in the movie they become successful.

If the 'hero' of the book doesn't like the education system, he became a loser in IIT and ended up with a five point something. But in the movie, the protaganist didn't go into a system hating mode and ended up a screwed-up dude. He kept his cool. He still stood first in the exams. He encouraged his friends to follow their heart.

The whole book goes in a negative mood. It is a story of losers where as the movie keeps on saying "All izz well". It is a tale of friendship. It is not about education system. It is the story of 3 friends one of whom completely changed the lives of other two for good.

The so called 'love-track' in the book is nothing but a couple of sex scenes and a couple of cry-baby scenes where as in the movie it is entirely different.

Even the death of lover's brother was a setting to get the girl cry always in the book, it was meant to bring a change in her father's attitude in the movie.

In the book, they stole the papers so that one of the idiots can put an A to impress his girl friend's father. In the movie it was to help his friend pass the exam so that he can get his job(though the friend doesn't agree to that).

In the book, not one of the three are happy with their lives in the cimax where as all the three got what they wanted and led a happy life in the movie.
Also the book's depiction of the now famous 'Silencer' is entirely different from the way the movie shows him.

You can see that the settings of all the above tracks are same in both the cases. But the way they were treated was the exact opposite.
I still wonder how the author demanded an acknowledgement given the differences in the two scripts.

P.S. : This is my opinion on the controversy and just to clarify, I am not Aamir Khan's fan. Infact, I like Shah Rukh Khan's as an actor. But, yes I hate the author called Chetan Bhagat.

P.P.S : You must have understood who the idiot the title refers to is.
