I joined MS within a month of its launch (though i didn't knew it was a new site then). This must be my third or fourth return to MS since then. Initially like most of you i was hooked to this site but as the original membes left i became disinterested as good photographs started getting more hits then good reviews (That's why i asked some of the old membes not to put up their photographs, i still stand by that). But i would write a review is some exeptional product came but slowly with time i thought the effort was not worth it as my studies got more demanding. With time i forgot MS and MS forgot me. My return this time is mainly due to my holidays and the sudden interest in my reviews of KSBKBT & 1984. I couldn't understand with dozens of reviews why mine? (Do enlighten me if you know). Any way about me then, I've just completed my graduation (I Hope) and trying to get into PG courses. I currently live in Allahabad and hope that is not for long. I am an optimistic to the core and thus don't go well with pessimistic persons. I always try to be realistic and hate Idealism. My motto of life Strive for Excellence not Perfection. I am a friendly person, but i believe that friends are not made, they just happen. May be that's why i don't have many friends but those I have are the best thing that has happened in my life so far. I am a bit garrulous and thus Shut up Mukul is what i often hear. This was one of the reasons for my id. the other being the name Mouthshut itself. As i've been member of MS for long I coudn't resist reccomending some of my fellow members who are a great asset to this community. Firstly there is Kishore not only for his brilliant style of writing but also for pointing out my mistakes time & again. Thanks buddy you're a real sport. Smartgirl & Tribal_chief for their excellent & in depth film reviews. I've started relying on them heavily. Thesmartest for his music reviews. VVikas & riks for making the best use of this forum. Though most of them have not written for long but if you come across their reviews don't miss them. I love watching Movies & listening to Music be it desi or phoren maal.I love watching Al Pachino & John Travolta Movies. Dustin Hoffman, Robert de Niro, Russel crowe, Bruce willis, Nicholas Cage are my other favorites actors and i think Liv Tyler is hottest female on this planet Meg Ryan, Jodie Foster, Neve Campbell, Renne zellweger, Sandra bullock,Julia Roberts are my fovorite actresses. LOTR has been the best movie i've seen of late. In desi front 'Big B', Shahrukh Khan, Ajay Devgan & Aishwarya are my ticket to theatres. In Music also there is no such genre of choice for me. Anything that gives me Aural pleasure is fine with me. Sting is god as far music is concerned. I love hearing Bon Jovi, Ronan,Robert Miles,Phil Collins,Leann Rimes,Savage Garden, MJ</
