Last week...

Last week was near perfect. 2 movies. Dance class thrice in the week. Dinner at a friend's place. Visit from another dear friend. A new technique which seemed to have worked in my hands. And an improvement in my sleep-wake schedule.




Since the day I have returned from Pune, my whole routine is changed. I have started sleeping early and getting up early too. I am feeling good about it and hope to retain this habit. The only thing I am missing because of this is blogging. Mostly I used to write my posts late night or early morning while struggling to fall asleep. But now, sleep comes uninvited around 10:30-11:00 and I am dead by 12. Tonight is an exception, so i decided to write this post.




Saw two movies last week. Luck by chance and Slumdog Millionare. I didn't like the latter. Will write about it in the next post. As far as the former is concerned, I am in love with Farhan Akhtar. The movie is not great but I really like the guy. I have still not seen Rock On. Will do that when i get some time.




Another thing which made me happy last week was that after struggling 2-3 times I managed to make upma finally. I love upma and now I can make it myself. The picture below proves it. Just that it was a little too salty, so I have to adjust that from next time onwards.



Now the reason why I am still awake tonight. My throat has been paining on and off for the past one week and I tried my best to control it by gargling etc. Now it is out of control and looks like a full-fledged infection and I am down with fever and body ache. I hate it :(




All good things are followed by not so good ones and vice versa.

the only thing i din't like about slumdog was that i was watching the bad part of mumbai/India, which I know is true but is not the only part, but i guess as per movie's theme they couldn't afford to show the "colaba causeway"....

@ Aditya
I didn't find Slumdog impressive at all. Sach mein...And it has nothing to do with "projecting the unflattering face of India on the global front". Luck by Chance had Farhan Akhtar :).

@ Shilpy and Jeet

Tabiyat ka to chalta rehta hai yaar. Tum Dev D. dekhna aur batana kaisi lagi. Mujhe time aur motivation nahi mil raha Slumdog ke baare mein likhne ka. Aur Luck by Chance ke baare mein nahi likh rahe kyunki hum ko maloom hai ki hum sirf Farhan Akhtar ke baare mein hi blabber karenge. He is my latest crush :)

@ Sujaan
Dev D. jaake dekho. Bahot badhiya hai.

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...

Ghajini

Finally I am writing about the movie I waited for so long. It took so much time because I was searching for a decent photograph of my hero :). Of course that's not the case. First of all I managed to watch the movie on 25th itself. How that happened is a very big story which i am not going to write here but it was a big adventure in a strange city. Had i been in Bombay, I would have watched the preview on 24th. So, my record didn't break. Just that instead of first show, I saw the second show of the movie. The peak of joy was getting the tickets and then with every scene the joy diminished. :( If Aamir Khan accepts a movie, there is a certain kind of expectation from it. This one was completely disappointing. It is a complete 'masala-movie' for the regular brainless-movie-goer. Why did he do this? It is not that the Tamil version was so great that he got tempted to do the remake. No point talking about the story here. I think everybody knows this "revenge saga of a...

I like 'Blue'

After working on my thesis (and doing some time-pass) whole night, I happened to peep out of the window and look at the striking shade of blue in the sky. I immediately looked around for my camera. It took some 90 seconds before I could click this photo and in that span of time the coloour of the sky changed a bit. Nevertheless, it is still very near to (but not exactly) the 'blue' which I like. I am neither very fond of a particular colour (except mauve and lilac) or hate a particular colour. I remember that as a child I didn't like 'yellow' at all. As I grew up, in my mind I started associating colours with different things. E.g. I like 'yellow' when it is a flower which I am looking at (and not Tata Nano or any other car). I would never wear a bright-yellow dress, but that doesn't mean I don't like the colour. Similarly, I love certain shades of 'blue' which look best in a sky or in a water body. Looking at any of my favourite colours (or...
