Life has to move on...


The peephole and the purple door


As the final episode of FRIENDS ended, my mind flew to my old friends and my old home/room 311. I thought that I can watch all the ~200 episodes again and relive the life of Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey. But I will never find those 6 years of my life again. They will remain just in my memories, which I revisit often. I hate moving on...


The usual scene of my room (that was). The chair in view was a silent spectator of million hugs, laughters and some tears. Snacking. Reading news-paper. Random net-surfing. Not to forget the tv-viewing.



After the room was cleaned the last time and fresh bed-sheets were laid



Last bunch of flowers I got to 311


The table full of random things and the book-shelf


The table and the shelf, as they looked when I left them (with the lone rose)


The wall with several art-pieces and the bed-side shelf


The same



A few of my old possessions in the current new surrounding


Same old flowers in my new home

Hey Shazia , I would like to return your compliment.. I had fun reading your posts too ..you bet we think alike (I love F.R.I.E.N.D.S too)! I am not too surprised though ,what with both of us being Saggis and all :)

So sweet, Shazia. I did not think of the last episode of Friends like that when I saw it or even when you told me that you did. Life indeed must move on; that's the spirit to keep alive! The new home looks cute :) Muah.

@ Sujaan
Don't you miss the face-wash and other cosmetics out of that cupboard? :)

@ Mugdha
Thanks :). And yes the similarity in thought can be explained partly by both of us being Saggis.

@ Angika
After I saw the last episode I wanted to talk to somebody really badly, that's why I messaged you. You were the only FRIENDS lover who i guessed would be awake at that hour. :)
Will post more pics of here later.

@ Senthil
Tumhara plane to mere saath Bhubaneswar bhi aaya hai. Uski photo dekhni hai? :)

Well ya life has to move on... It was a very touchy episode, and amidst all sadness i did got a smile when Joey said "Has it always been purple?".

So moral of the story is, there is always something to cheer about no matter how sad the situation is... :)

@ CAT
It was a touching episode. I felt as if my friends are departing.
And you forgot what Chandler says in reply to Rachel's suggestion of having coffee before leaving... He said "Where?" :)

@ Myoori
Love you dear. :)

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...

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...
