So, how are things?


Yeah, things are okay...moving towards fine...and one day, things will be great. I am not just waiting for that day but have started trying my best to work for it. After a long time, I managed to finish all the jobs I had planned to do in a day (tick marks on my planner say so).
  • Work is happening, but not at a great speed. It will move on gradually.
  • I have still not finished (actually not started) writing the draft of my research paper.
  • I am still avoiding my guide as I have not made the elaborate experiment plan for a period of a month.
  • Morning walks are also not happening. I have to get back to the normal schedule.
  • Room cleaning and decluttering still keeps me happy. Remember this?
  • Reading Amitabha Bagchi's 'Above Average' these days.
  • Have not touched the guitar since i dont know when. The latest excuse is that one of the strings broke.
  • The last of my fishes (and the most lovable one) is dead. I got four new ones today. I have become used to seeing some movement in that corner of my room.
  • Have started cooking more often these days.
  • Have started recieving at least 75% of the phone calls instead of rejecting/ignoring same number of phone calls.
  • Have not screamed at anybody of late (apart from a middle aged eve-teaser i encountered in the train 2 days back).
  • Have not seen a movie for almost 3 weeks now. Blood-movie level is falling. Will definitely go this weekend. But I will remember this quote whenever I am doing anything apart from working. (Mind you, blogging does not come under working or playing)

By working hard, you get to play hard guilt-free.

Even though many things stated in the above list are in the 'not happening' category, I am hopeful that they will start happening very soon. The biggest change I am observing in myself is that I am at peace with myself after a long time. There is no turbulence anywhere. I am gaining myself back. I want to stay this way, at least for a while... I deserve it.

A 'co-operative relationship' is at the centre of some of the positive changes I am seeing in myself. I would like to call it by this name for the time being, till something else happens... It takes a lot of time for it to happen at this age. At least that is what i can say about myself.

So, I have a 'positive' answer to this most frequently asked question?

A poem from childhood...

"Long legged Italy, kicked poor Sicily In the middle of Mediterranean Sea. Austria was Hungary Took a bit of Turkey Fried it in Japan Dipped it in Greece...." I remember only this much. This poem was my first attempt at learning the names of these countries and locating them on the map of the world. And I thought Austria and Australia were same. :-) It's time to confirm that I was wrong at that point of time, some twenty years back...

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

I went for this movie with zero-expectation just to watch SRK after a long interval of more than a year and I didn't get disappointed. Seriously, it is a very ordinary movie which takes up an age-old idea (of arranged marriage) and adds all kinds of 'spices' and SRK to it just to cater to a very specific kind of audience, which includes SRK fans and YRF loyals or time-pass movie goers. Surinder Sahni cannot be 'one' single man. There are many contradictions within this character. The man leads a dull, boring, monotonous life with his yellow suitcase, yellow tiffin, yellow car and a yellow bed sheet... (i might have missed other yellow objects around him). And he accepts the fact that he is indeed a boring person. Now, he decides to change his personality just to surprise his young, vibrant, newly-wedded wife. He turns himself into the "movie-hero" who makes his Taani ji smile. The surprising part is that he looks extremely comfortable in this new transfo

Drama on Lauh-pad-gamini

For those who don't know what is 'Lauh-pad-gamini' , it means 'train' (I learnt that from Chupke Chupke ). And let me re-emphasize the fact that I love train journeys. One of them is over and the other is round the corner. The reason for the upcoming journey deserves another post and I will write about it later. If life is a journey, I would like it to be a train journey. That's what the new look of my blog says too. The other day I was talking to a friend and this question came up "How do you think life has changed you?" There are so many things but the first thing which came in my head was: I have learnt to extract joy from 'little' things in life and even the otherwise 'major' things can't keep my spirits down for long. Yes, things do affect me but I have learnt to move on. But this post is not about lessons of life. It is about 'trains' and 'movies', which occupy a special position in my life. :) There are so ma
