Life is a cruel thing I tell you...

It offers you everything when you have given up on everything. Like a bad flush.

Death

2007-07-20T03:30:00.000-04:00

Unbearable heaviness....
Smell of burnt plastic
How long is it before
I wake from this fucking nightmare...

Life or the lack of it..

2007-07-04T02:24:00.000-04:00

Frankincense, myrrh and softlights
Blood and gore all over
And smooth music plays
Incessant laughs
And I breathe...and live...

Hey There Delilah....

Think you Complain too much???

2006-11-27T10:11:00.000-05:00

Why is there never a comfortable position to study?
Why do the interesting movies come only during exams?
Why do I get junk electronics that I will never use in my human life?
Why does my neighbor watch through the peephole when I bring a guest?
Why are mobile phones batteries never enough?
Why are ringtones so irritating?
Why cant you find a tissue paper when you need to sneeze??
Old people are fed with tranquilizers so that they wont complain..
Nice shirts lose color fast but ugly ones never do?
and love doesnt last forever..
I know I complain...But how about laughing it off?..Is it that hard to do?
Here is a helsinki choir that does exactly that

At first I thought she was pretty rude . I know that I am a guy and I understand unless it happens to us we dont know.But did she overreact? Cant answer the question. But from time to time guys like these have to be made an example of. That women can fight back and guys should know their limits.

U2 and football

Why?

2006-07-09T18:55:00.000-04:00

The most wonderful thing that happened to French football...The guy who garnered Coach Domenechs respect...the man who sunk Brazils hopes,laid the foundation for the finals..not to mention that he championed the victory of Les Bleus in '98...

Zizou..

Everything sank in a moment.....a moment of frustration,anger..Words just fail me..

Why?

Viva Les Bleus!!

A jeune chasseur, il faut vieux chien.
With a young hunter there should be an old dog....

France was written off, earlier on...they lacked support from their own team...
People chided me as they were all rooting for the mighty Germans....(Agreed it was unfortunate that Germans had to see an unpleasant ending..but the Italians were too good)....

But since round 16, the french have mighty well proved that they were not in by chance and they deserved to win....Like they say the end justifies the means....You cannot obviously dismiss the defeat against Brazil as pure luck...A team which had towering figures like Ronaldinho and kaka not to mention Mr. No.9..

Todays match looked like a local match...Portugal was nowhere close to fighting the french..France's coach, Raymond Domenech trusted the old dogs...Zidaine,Makele and it worked well with the young gunners like Thierry Henry...

Cmon guys...Impossible n'est pas français!!!!

Jog in the park

2006-06-17T01:24:00.000-04:00

I ran 5 miles for about 3 days now...
Some funny observations:
- My legs can surprisingly handle 5 miles(still havent figured out what sideeffects going to be there), the cramps are down, upward slopes are fun too...looks like I am going somewhere with this..Provided lazy jack doesnt creep up here...

PS:
And some philosophy if you will:

If you stick it out, sometimes you get better or the system gets better whichever breaks first.I feel that I should have tried and lost than not having tried at all...

PPS:
I met the same cwc(cute white chick) in VaFo and the park and the gym....She looked a bit terrified( I am practicing I just killed your sister youre next expressions for the chick....I spent 10 minutes making stalker faces in the mirror.Looks decent...Can also do I spit on your food and I just watched a jitendar movie face )

Frustable

2006-06-13T23:05:00.000-04:00

I signed up for a gym and due to my terrible lifestyle and (no point in shying away here )pure laziness I was on and off at times...Anyhow... I went after a pretty long long time..As I picked a spot and parked I looked around...
All the people were looking for a parking spot closest to the gym?..

I thought People come to the gym to excercise ?I dont know if that is an example of a Frustable (like ..Why is there a butter in butterfly or why do penguins have knees)..Whyyyy

I ran 5 mi today in the park..absorbing 82 degrees...

James Blunt: Dreamy eyes, and lyrics like

You're beautiful, it's true.

New York -Freshlook

2006-03-26T02:33:00.000-05:00

Every desi wants to go to NYC
-Take a pic by the Liberty statue( and believe me, the position is fairly dead accurate-crap)
-Rave abt the traffic
-Go to time square, figure what the fuss is about
-Eat desi khana at 28th and Lex,and go atop Empire State and see new york from a terrace...

Well I did all of those things...again last weekend...had to play tour guide to my desi roommate-stood in long lines to have a dharshan of Liberty maata, ate khaana like the world would be flushed out next day. Next part of the ritual- Empire State Building.
We hit 34th and 6th , It was St Patricks day and the Empire state was lit in green, it was a cold crisp afternoon.. Me and my roommate walked around to see the big bad high rises. I gingerly walked around the building, the heights giving me a tizz. Then I saw a couple kissing passionately, it was long and intense, I was casually looking at them, not the “I am watching the show” look.Suddenly,the guy then bent on his one knee, took a small blue case from his pocket, looked into his lady’s eyes and proposed. I am pretty sure it was the wind or the winter. Tizzy,again. Millions of thoughts swam in my head. Real World. Fuck. This shit is amazing. I never believed in fairy tales, may be I want to now…

How to brighten a Friday evening!!!

2005-10-22T13:18:00.000-04:00

Ok, now that the Optics exam was over, I came in a little later, to home,bringing 3 movies the amistad , runaway jury and mozart.i started watching amistad,first up...

Amistad is definitely an underrated film. Anthony Hopkins should have won an award for the film, perhaps 'Best Supporting Actor.'

Djimon Hounsou (Cinque)did an amazing job…

GIVE US FREE GIVE US FREE

D.H. should have won something as well. But I'm quite certain the film industry would never allow this to happen.

And 'Best Film' or 'Best Director' award should have been awarded to this movie as well.

Basically, it should have one atleast SOMETHING. Either way though, the movie has gone down as a classic and it is and will always be remembered. And it is truly one of the most powerful films, one of the most touching, one of the most relevant, and it is about one of the most important times in history.

The slave journey across the Atlantic Ocean-- from Africa to America. NO ONE can imagine what the horrors of sailing across the middle passage was like for African slaves. No book, no movie, no text, no narrative description can begin to describe what that was like. It was truly waaaaay worse than anything Spielberg or anybody else could put on the big screen. But I feel as if he made a brilliant attempt and that it definitely got the point across. It is truly the best depiction anyone could do!

anthony hopskins as aJohn Quincy adams....absolutely spell binding!!!...Initially he surfaces as a weathered politician who is just irritated with the way things were happening...but during the intermediate advise to Mathew Mccoughnahey(who by the way was firebrand ) he was absolutely frigging amazing...Hopkins does some intersting symbolisms in the movie..The rose when Adams moves it to sunlight while talking to the lawyer, it means that "get to know him". Bringing into the light is a simple symbology for getting to learn who Cinque really is.
Also he tries to invoke cinque;s yearning for the motherland by presenting him the african lily...

There are some post notes at the ending of the film..but it real research tells us that Cinque later became a slave trader himself...the ironies of life...!!!

But overall a terrific must watch!!!

I watched Runaway Jury too...but now not too much enthu to write abt it..Avg fare...

Amadeus still remains...we shall see..

Embarrassing moment

2005-10-11T18:44:00.000-04:00

Today I did something that would be really ashamed of in the rest of my life....

I was walking down College Ave, trying to reminisce what was happening with the code, suddenly a hand popped giving me a flyer and like a reflex I said 'no'...It was the Red Cross Lady who was trying to seek help for Hurricane Katrina...Senti u might say...but what the heck...I got flyers from nobody;s....(I remember I even got flyers from peep show 'hosts'...I know ur chuckling...but honestly I didnt know it was one...)...But when it came to her,why the hell did I ignore...god alone knows...anyhow...leave that

In other news:

Lions have been going on strong...touch wood...hopefully things go well!!

2005-09-28T17:19:00.000-04:00

Yes, read the review for Ghajini….Hmm impressive

Surya is a business tycoon who is in love with Asin . He loses his girlfriend in a freak accident and he has a memory loss in the accident

He is saved by nayantara , a doctor and he is out to avenge his girlfriend’s death…

But hes got this huge memory loss you see…so he decides to TATTOO all of the info gets on his body…How intelligent…he could ve wrote it in a piece of paper…but no…he could ve written in his shirt…but hey he doesn’t have a shirt to put on!....

So am assuming hero wud ask the heroine to read stuff of his back …Erm, guess that’s the cumulative effect of all of the tam movies I saw..

truth abt my janitor and other stories

2005-08-05T01:08:00.000-04:00

My janitor was a jeweler working at JC Penney;s and has traveled thru Missouri,Kansas,california,All the way upto Illinois....so u get the picture....all of Route 66

Arizona has the best variation in its climate that u can ever see....right from the conifers to the cactuses...aint that coool...

I traveled some part onto the Route 66 which is like the historic route that ran through all of america....

Some Route 66 facts...
Route 66 is 2448 miles long. (about 4000 km)
Route 66 was commissioned in 1926, picking up as many as possible bits and pieces of existing road. Route 66 crosses 8 states and 3 time zones. Route 66 starts in Chicago, and ends in L.A. (Santa Monica).I was in the Santa Fe-Albuquerque route when I saw the signs for the historic route 66 ..then it was Flagstaff AZ close to the Canyons.....
It was cool being part of the oldest(!) road in the united states that had some history tied to it..

yeah,,,

My trip to the Wesht Coasht Part I

2005-08-01T17:30:00.000-04:00

Yes I did move to that part of the country where u see Indians....my sister lives in Albuquerque,New Mexico....so packed my bags and went with my parents (ooh,who by the way,were visiting,,anyhoo..)...First two days was absolute bliss eating my mom;s food...then we decided to do some site seeeing...
first stop was Sandia mountains.....located like 10,000 feet above sea level....and travels by winch(which by the way clicked all the time sending shivers thru meri pyaari ma....).The top of the mountain was 40F during summer ,so u'd better watch outt!!!..I was literally walking out in the clouds...with all mist pouring over...

Next day we visited Santa Fe....my sis;s colleague was a Flamenco artist.....For the uninitiated, flamenco is a Spanish art.It exists in three forms: Cante, the song, Baile, the dance, and Guitarra, guitar playing. This was tiny quaint old fashioned Inn, called the El Farol. They served fruit wine,which my mom thought tasted like draaksha arishtam!!LOL..The sound was thunderous..with dimunitive ladies making some swift movements....it was a treat to watch...

The Indians are divided into tribes...The Hopis,The navajos,the mojaves...are some names that I remember....all reduced to dust by the great white immigrants....The story goes that the Englishmen wiped out the Red Indian colonies by giving them small pox infested bed sheets during...those bastards....The Indians never celebrate Thanksgiving(Thanks for what?!!!)
OR columbus day(The day u stepped in this country was doomsday for us!!!)

However atleast they have some place to call their own.......

.....God bless America....!!
