Salaam Namaste is the story of two Indians in Australia. Ambar played by Preity Zinta comes to Australia to learn medicine and works part time as a radio jockey for the radio station Salaam Namaste. Nick (Saif Ali Khan) is an architect by profession and a chef by choice living his life with no commitments and as he chooses too.

Nick, being Nick, fails to turn up for a scheduled interview with Salaam Namaste jockey Ambar simply because he oversleeps. She rewards him with a lesson in punctuality and discipline.

They eventually meet and as with most Bollywood movies the fighting couple falls in love. Nick asks Ambar to move in with him to check their compatibility and she agrees.

What follows is a rather enjoyable movie, predictable but fun. There are many funny, few sad, some heart wrenching and several romantic moments in the film.

Had a splitting headache at work on Thursday which got really bad towards evening. I guess it was because of my contact lens and the bad lighting around my office PC.

Woke up on Friday morning with the headache even worse. After some deliberation I decided to stay home especially since I had to work Saturday.

Went back to sleep and woke up only around 11am.

Paid a visit to my doctor and then went to the Orange shop to pick up my Reebok voucher for the new number I booked for my mother, which she doesn’t use!

Got back home and slept the afternoon out.

Also ordered for my Dual Voltage 512MB MMC for my Nokia 6681. Finally I can load my cell with more music to keep me occupied for hours

Also loaded Symbian OggPlay since the inbuilt Music Player is rather feature limited.

Only need to figure out a good way to create ordered playlists on my phone.
