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 shades) in the object of my choice somehow makes me feel elated. (silly things excite me)




Thinking about 'blue' reminded me of the scene in 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna' when Rani Mukherjee calls out to Shahrukh Khan saying, "I like blue" which in that situation was supposed to mean "I love you". I liked that scene and the song which followed (Tumhi dekho na...). Actually there are many more things about KANK which I liked. I really regret removing that post from my blog in which I had written why I liked KANK. That post was one of the most 'popular' posts of my blog and million people who googled for "extra-marital affairs" landed on my blog through that post. And that post also had some very interesting comments from anonymous people (anonymous comments on my blog were allowed then). A guy (i think it was a guy) after knowing my views on KANK had commented "Are you interested in having an extra-marital affair?" :)




Oh no!!! This post was not supposed to be this long.... I will go back to work now.
P.S. Last two images are scenes from KANK (the song "Tumhi dekho na"...). Oh I love the songs from this movie, specially "Mitwa...".
And my sincere apology to all married guys, even though I like certain things about KANK, I am not interested in having an extra-marital affair. :)

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
