Drive..Drive..Drive the car..gently down the street

Finally, i have something more to write than the amount i drank and smoked and rendered myself silly!
Caught up with my driving lessons..! This times lesson was... 'Drive without any help'..! Had to gear myself up quite a bit for this one..! I am not the kind of person who likes 'speed' or 'cars' ( i mean if someone asks me which is my favorite car.... i stare and then blink..,thats how i am NOT fond of cars) so that evidently makes me a very passive learner when it comes to taking driving lessons. I learnt to drive a car because :

• currently, car is the only mode of conveyance available for me
• its safer driving a car in the nite in this city of wolfs
• u dont get wet if its raining.

Pretty basic, eh?

but then..Driving needs a lot of coordination ... and that just turns me off..! clutch, break, accelerator, and most of the time a combination and permutation of the three..! as if all this isnt enuff.. there are gears..4 or 5 of them ! and then there is a reverse-gear! what the 'flig'!!

My first journey alone in the car was not more than 4-5 kilometers but took the hell lot of courage! I cannot simply imagine how people can enjoy 'long drives'! Another thing to bog me down is letting go of all self-respect, especially if u of the 'woman' species.

Highlights of my first 'crusade':

• First of all.. i turn on the ignition.. press the accelerator..'screeeeeeeeech'.. 'hand break!'(f***!)
  
• Next, getting the car out of the apartment gate. Usually a gatekeeper/guard with a bored-cum-morose look opens one side of the gate to let out cars of all sizes.. but me being the unexperienced learner category, have to tell the gatekeeper to open both sides of gates..the first instance when u have to bear with the 'what-the-heck...fuck-off' look!
• I try changing gears at a turn and..the car stops with a jerk.. a big guy passing by in a bigger car stares... that 'who-the-fuck -gave-u-a-license' stare! and drives off with a swagger... am sure as much as men hate women driving on the roads.. they surely enjoy it more.. inflates their ego to the size of a watermelon!' assholes!!
• I stop at a red-light.. sweating.. more because i am worried sick whether i will really be able to push the car when the light turns green..?? ... the light turns green .... i fumble with the clutch/accelerator/break combination....I fail...and my car stops with a jerk..! (f***! f***! f***!) All the men species pass by with a smirk ('haah-lady-driver' look) on their faces..the women with a sympathetic i've-been-thru-this-sweetie' look! Meanwhile the light turns red again and so does my face!
• Finally, the worst part.. parking the car..! i somehow manage to complete the to-and-fro journey and its time to park the car back at its original place..i reverse and go forward and reverse and go forward..spend a good two-three minutes.. and just when i think its perfectly parked.. the gaurd/gatekeeper yells... 'abhi bhi line ke bahar hai'! Shamefaced.. I climb back into the car.. and take the gatekeepers help to guide me... seemingly irritated..he gives me vague directions.. and after 2 minutes.. gives up and says 'ab theek hai, rehne do' In other words.. 'chuck it u silly lady! balls to ur car! dont waste my time anymore!

I thank God for darkness and the fact that because of it ppl around cannot see my embarassed-flushed red face! I start walking back.. i realize i havent locked the car (f***! f***!f***!) So, i go back.. pretend to search something from the glove apartment and lock the car. I can see the guard smiling through the corner of my eye..! I somehow want to vanish into thin air!!

'hummm'

Went home this tuesday... MY home..! Or is it really my home anymore..dunno..!
After ages, all four of us sat for dinner.. and it was so nice.. mom-cooked food and everything! its so strange that things like having dinner with ur family can seem such a big deal. In fact everything that u take for granted ..once it ceases to happen. .. seems a 'big deal' and u crave and crave for it ..! Wish there was a 'preview' mode for everything that was going to happen in life...!

Before this post comes in the category of a 'psychic-retard' blog! lemme deviate...

Was at TC day again yesterday.. however was not the routine types... yesterday was basically a very fucked up day... i cud sense that when the day started with me setting out to make a nice 'half-fry' sunny-side-up kinda egg..and ended up maked tasteless scrambled eggs... i mean, it was a complete insult to the cook inside me..! So from 7 in the morning started the day in which nothing was supposed to happen the way it usually does.

So, initially had no plans to go to TC.. but then Neo and me cud not think beyond booze..! So me and neo decided that we shall go to TC! This time went with Ankur..(note...the first instance of digression from routine..!) he had to meet his friends there. went there in an auto (second instance..!) and fought for 'ciggies' on the way..(of all the things..mannnn.. how shallow have i become *sigh*..( i can picturize Neo nodding his head in agreement when he is reading this!)
We reach TC.. Neo stomps off to buy ciggies for me from a place thats far far away (i have managed to provoke Neo-the-high-voltage!). Meanwhile.. the bouncers check Ankur's and my bag..yes..MY bag too! ( third digression!!.. cannot be a coincidence for sure.. and that peturbs me !) me and Ankur (i call him bob..so ankur wil be referred to as bob from now on.!) so.. me and bob are welcomed by his frnds ( Roj and a firang 'keeith/kear??! am not sure abt his name so he will be reffered to as 'firang') bob is gud pals with both so.. after a formality for introduction.. bob and roj and the firang..chat up.. ( bob visibily uncomfortable.. trying not to neglect me!...although i was okay with being neglected!) i dont make any effort to chat up with the two new aquantainces.. and they also seem pretty okay with me being a silent observer... which is very relaxing.. wasnt in any mood for a small talk. All this while..Neo still hunting for my ciggarettes..( which definitely made me a lil uncomfortable.. am not used to throwing tantrums!) Neo walks in after almost half an hour.. visibily cursing me and not in a good mood..! He is even more 'not-in-a-mood-for-small-talk' mood!So although sitting at the same table.. me and neo start a conversation.. the other 2 are busy cracking their own jokes..! bob ...trying to divide his time between the 2 groups.. sorry bob.. my bad luck just rubs on to ppl arnd me! The music is kinda new to me.. and the electricity kept going off (nothing surprises me anymore!) Amongst all this i manage to get drunk.. this time only 3 pints swack me up! and just when i was beginning to 'get into the groove' neo shouts at me to leave...! we have to go by auto so we leave early at 11!!

Today is the day that follows.. phew...!hangover!! manage to drag myself out the bed at 6:30..cannot.. 6:45..cannot...7.. i tell myself.. 'get up u lazy fucker.. or go in this sickening heat in an auto..!'... the thought of the sun happily devouring my skin..makes me sit upright...

Am in the ofc..lethargic.. and a lil disoriented! Dont think am going to TC for another month or so..!

Euphorism

Top 5 highs:

• Watching a looong gud english movie in a not-so-crowded hall
• guava smoothie- barista
• Choco dessert
• boiled american corn
• chatting up with someone u have been wanting to chat up with since ages!

All of the above in one day = 'Euphoria'

Weekend - From Euphoric to Sad again!!

The TC Routine

The TC routine...
Wednesday evening was nice... went to gud'ol TC with gud'ol Neo..! (Recently Neo has been responsible for the good times i've had..!) Thanks dude!
This post is a dedicated to Neo-the-highvoltage.
So Neo.. here is my version of the TC visits we've had so faa...

Neo and me push off frm office eightish..reach arnd eight-somethingish! A couple of very 'unlike bouncers'looking bouncers welcome us ( stamp our wrists with an encircled T.C (the dot there does not make sense there..ATD .. analysts please note)..frisk neo's bag.. but cooly ignore my bag.. i am sure whatever he plans to secretly carry in his bag can be transferred to
mine..! basicaly a routine useless check!
Anyway, we enter... the pub is in the basement and the ground floor is for the elite 'firangs' who are already having their 'supper'!The pub is cool... not too big.. but nice. Me and Neo find a place to sit.. usually when we reach there is plenty of space so we have the priviledge to choose. In the background the DJ is playing slow rock numbers... he is also expecting the 'hard-rock'audience after 9:30. The waiters gets us a menu... we completely ignore it and place an order for beer pints! Then... we wait... neo for his friends ..and me.. generally..for something nice to happen! ppl start pouring in around 9 thirtish... this is the most interesting part.. Neo is all happy.. gets to see a more and more chicks.. wearing less and less clothes..! Please do not assume Neo to be a cheap -local..he is very sophiticated... he tries his best to be very discreet while checking out the chics..!but then as u know ..men are men.. ocassionally, his eyes do pop-out for a couple of seconds! thats all..( resh..chill)
Apparently, there seems to be a dress-code for babes in Tc.. can wear any garment.. but has to be revealing in either of the ways:

• lowwww neck.. cleavage showing..
• low waist- crack showing..
• transparent- u-know-what showing!!..
• makeup- prim and propaah... no wrinkles/blemishes showing!!

accessories:

• expensive smelling perfume
• expensive looking bag
• high heels- expensive looking again!
• a smoke dangling between the fingers (lights)

and when its all of the above.. our Neo cant helpbut let out a 'sigh'!!
Lemme tell u Delhi chics r very particular about dressing up! u might just find a girl 'all of the above' in a crowded but posh market place also.

And then there is me.. .. frayed jeans and kurta/tee- kohlapuri-chappals...dishevelled hair.. smudged kajal..! No where close to the dress-code babes!

Also... very intresting to note a dress code for most of the men too..well.. not men 'boys' u can say..

• low waist jeans..or rather.. 'below'-waist jeans..i guess, u must have got the idea!
• frayed tees-
• sling-bag-- across the shoulder- resting on the waist- or butt!
• floaters
  

accessories:

• sports watch
• soul patch
• a zombie-cum-disoriented look!
• a smoke dangling between the fingers! (not-so-lights)

Coming back to the routine thingy... me and Neo look quite bored with each other after talking about all there is to be talked abt.. which is not much when u work inthe same office... so we start to enjoy the music ( which, btw, is very Neo-types!) drinking and smoking..and jiving..( and coz it is still India..and however hard u try.. even in a pub.. i light a smoke and at once 10-20 pair of indian male-eyes look at me... then turn glassy with lust...( puke ..puke..puke!)
have learnt to ignoreit now ..first few couple of times, felt like poking the ciggarette right in those very lusty-glassy eyes!

The place fills up...! Showing gud pub ettiquttes Assy, Jai, and Bobby enter at a respectable time ( Jai and Bobby were missing for the first time, last wed. missed them!) Assy as usual...looking like dressed for an interview.. shirt-trousers ..formal shoes.. the worx!
we exchange hi's and sit down puposefully... but end up having conversation like these:

Jai/Assy- Hi.. wassup

me- ( leaning across.. trying to hear above all the din)- Whaaat?

Jai/Assy- i said.. how are u?

Me: oh... fine.. and u?

Jai/Assy- whaaat?

Me- i said..and u??

Jai/Assy- oh great ( thumbs up!) .. ( i thank god for the sign language!)

Jai/Assy- so.. there was this..............

i am not even trying to listen... involves too much of leaning and concentrating!! Still manage to exclamate and nod at the right time..!( but seriously... i wud definitely like to meet these ppl elsewhere if i want to know more abt them!)

The best part- me and neo- shout and sing with the music- neo sings more..coz he seems to know all the lyrics by heart.. he keeps on educating me abt the band and stuff..! thanks again! :)

Am 2 pints down..Jai/Assy offers another pint... i hesitantly say a muffled 'No'.. and Jai comes up with a very encouraging 'comeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn'..! and hands me another pint..! to avoid another 'whaat- huh-- oh' conversation .. i gulp some more beer..!

the place becomes to crowded to breathe.. air ..all thick with smoke... and DJ comes down to a level of playing 'that thing u do' just to make the crowd shout louder..!

endless vists to the loo and 4 pints down..I am quite swacked ... people are a blur.. Neo has to shout in my ear.. for a reply.. all he gets is a 'zonked look'.. its 12ish.. time to leave.. All this while...Neo manages to stay sober.. in fact..he IS sober..and how? beats me.. ! We say our good byes... i say good bye... holding on to Neo's sleeve...! Manage to walk(zig-zag) till Neo's bike.

Lemme tell u.. a ride on the bike while u are so zonked..only adds to the 'zonkenness'! In other words.. is enjoyable..! :)

Neo shouts every 5 minutes..'mar gayi kya?' ( btw, no translations as am not expecting any international audiences here!)...or ' u there??'..!!

Fianlly, am home... ! walking ((zig-zag) to my aptmnt.. hoping no one is home to welcome this 'dipsomaniac'!
Crux- a great weekly experience.. what is day like that follows the evening a separate long story..! someother time maybe!

till next time!

PS: please ignore the previous post.. was trying to sound philosophical... now when i read..sounds like a 'retard's - blog!

?

am i really going to accept it all? Have i really given up??

do only self immersed say "after all there is only one life" or is it really something to be considered?
how selfish does one need to get to do whatever one wants?
is that really being selfish or thats how one is supposed to live..??
can u actually live without hurting anyone...?
is it really difficult to get over someone? or is it that we dont want to get over a feeling of getting over?
can someone really enjoy punishing oneself?
can someone really enjoy after punishing someone innocent?

how long ..till it is finally all over??

Phew....!!

Weekend... aaah hummm..!
For a change weekend begins with friday evening...friday evening was gud.. thanks to Neo-the-high-voltage!I was in a mood to hog.. so i hogged like a pig..! had chiken momos, egg and chicken frankie, and finished it with a rum-kick- choco ice cream!! Slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!! ( rummmmmyyy!) treated my self after a long time..!all this while Neo was having a bite or 2! gud boy Neo!

Saturday- lazed around in my boxers and a rag of tee-shirt... looking like a rag-picker! Dint have a bath till the time i realized that ppl arnd might just faint of the stink!! reluctantly had a bath...! TV as usual was extremely boring..! So again reluctantly picked up Sidney Sheldon ( yes..! i admit.. i have been reading Sidney Sheldon..!) But Mr. Sheldon.. u are becoming very predictable.. or maybe i have become intelligent! But seriously, i prefer reading to watching TV, because of the following reasons:

• U can start and stop at ur own will.. no scheduled telecasts.. !
• Nothing to do with electricity/batteries etc...which can ditch u at the very last moment!
• U can choose your own actors for the characters if u are reading a novel.. i mean, i do that...i have to picturise someone playing the part of the character or i cannot read .. dad had actually written the cast on the back page if this novel is made into a movie...( gawd.. i am so much like my dad..just a smarter version of him!!... kidding dad..u are the bestest and coolest dad on earth!..the only dad who says.. 'relax...lemme make u a drink.how about a large Gin with lime cordial..and who actually does that and presents it with a lemon slice ..stirrer and the worx!! muaaaah!)

seems like a lot of digression! but what the heck..let it be..!

Sunday- sunday was a sleepy sleepy day (... am lazy ... dirty.. and i hog... am i actually turning into a pig?? )

woke up at noon.. slept for 2 hours for my afternoon nap...! oh man..!

Went to Karol Bagh for shopping some jewellry for vim's sis! God... how i hate delhi markets on a weekend.. it was crazy... a sea of people.. seemed like everybody chose to buy something from that very market on that very Sunday!!Crazy Delhiites! That place sucks to the power of 100!! Had dinner at a joint called 'Raffles'... Was full of people with really small annoying children who wailed and screamed for everything! Food was as pathetic..ate very little...still felt so stuffed! Came home only to be welcomed with no electricity..! the house is on the top floor and turns into an oven by evening with all that heat..( the temperatures are as crazy...!) so... no air con nothing.. so back to my boxers and rag-tee..! mosquitoes fucked it up further..! Was fully awake till 3 in the morning.. yes thats when we finally got the electicity! what a day..!

End result- with only 3 and a half hours of disturbed sleep...i have a headache close to migrane! Had a client call at 7:30 pm.. was a 20 minute fuckall call.. and i have to stay back till 10. Wasnt in a mood to work all day.. procrastination is my middle name.. so kept on thinking will do it in the evening.. but the evening is as gud as gone.. and my work is more or less at the same stage! way to go!!

A word abt my Project Manager and Delivery Manager.. in simpler words, my boss and my boss's boss . A couple of big time MORONS..!so they will be refered to as Moron 1 and Moron 2 respectively...!

Example..

Client was waiting at the con-call number on the landline.. Moron1 calls on the clients mobile..Moron 2 apologises profusely as if moron 1 has murdered client's wife!! Anyway.. after introducing the team.. call gets disconnected from the client's side ..Moron 2 still apologises..and as profusely!! God help!

Moron1 btw always has a tough time talking to the client .. he talks way too fast..! and somehow handling the 2 morons and maintaining some dignity is the analyst..she vents out all of this frustration on us .. the team.. thru her comments while reviewing.. poor lady needs a break.. so i have decided not to take her comments personally!!
now my head is nearing 'explosion' .. need to go!
till next time!
PS: concentration span decreased to a 2 and a half minutes and the list of things to do to break the monotony ..increases:

• check random blogs
• fill up my water bottle ( ie... drain the waterin the bottle first and fill fresh water)
• munch on something ( warning ! blink! warning! - dangerous!)
• search for lyrics of a random song
• wipe my specs ( need to see clearer first to think clearer!)
• doodle
• search for wallpapers...................................

'ILL'ustrated weak'ly!

Cant believe its friday again. last week was pretty lousy..fell ill and all that. In fact, falling ill can be interesting at sometimes. For me, following were the reasons:

• I was at home with mom and dad fussing over me :)
• Got cooked food ( very important!) and that too cooked by mom.. she is a perfect cook! No one can beat u Mom!
• Got to sleep all day without being shouted at.
• Got to play with my nephew on an off..! ( thats gud.. coz playing with him for more than 2 hours at a strech can drive u up the wall.. Sister.. hats off for handling that cute lil devil 24X7!)
• Got to watch a lot of movies..in fact, after ages watched 3 movies back to back.. and surprisingly my eyes dint hurt...! I guess all that sleep finally helped me get rest for my eyes.
• Dint go to the office and racked my brains over unnecessary things like 'monitoring networks' !! ( yoo hooo!)

Before and after all this was pretty much the same! Work is driving me crazy.. not because its too much .. but because...however hard I try, I just cannot concentrate! I gues, this has just worsened because of the illness ( btw, another reason i like falling ill.. u can blame just about everything on it!!) just to give u an idea about the concentration thingy.. current concentration span- 3 minutes or so...after 3 minutes i have to do either of the following:

• change the music
• increase/ decrease the volume
• look around
• day-dream
• have a sip of water ( rarely!)
• go to the loo
• open my chat window to chat irrelavant stuff with someone
• check my cell phone for any messages ( there are rarely any when u expect them)
• pretend to search something from the drawer.......................

and so on.. the list is pretty long!

well..its friday again .. no real excitement..! Plan to go to a pub this weekend to 'get a life'...hope it works out.. pubs are so crowded with ppl on the weekends .. looks like nobody has a life in this city! losers all of 'em!

Okay.. what else... hmmm..I forgot to mention in the excitement of my 'illness description and its after effects' that i also went shopping on saturday.. before i got the viral..had gone to pick up some roadside kind of stuff from Janpath... ended up buying a 'Benetton' tee!! ( thats me!!) basically.. i get confused with so much of nice and cheap stuff in one place! Benetton is easy.. either the designs are bad or the price.. so u have very less to choose from.. makes life easier, u see!

Thats all.. am waiting for my analyst to come and review the stuff i have written.. i can already picture my document full of her 'nasty' comments. What does she expect after a week of illness??


till monday!

'Crazy' is the word!

Why is it that exactly the date and time you decide to NOT do something EVER... circumstances force you to do it right then?? Some kind of murphy's law or something!!! beats me.. seriously!

And... once more... i have a client call! Life is getting nowhere with this project and its ever confusing technology! i mean, I dont really need so much of sophistication and technology in my life! Whosoever came up with the idea of monitoring the networks shud be shot down!! lets drop this morose topic!

Watched the movie '40 days and 40 nights' on a VCD ystrdy... fuckall print, i must say, but the movie was great! A lot of mush in places.. but i guess SEX kind of overpowered everything else! Now, that was NOT why i liked the movie.. just that the whole idea was great! This guy trying to abstain from sex for 40 days.. and nights! Men are sooooo about SEX.. that it can disgust u to the core!! now that we are talking abt it.. i must tell u a strange observation.. i think a lot of men in my country.. have this thing of getting kicks out of watching 'women' smoke!! their eyes get all glassy with lust..! makes u want to kick thier balls, i swear! men will be men!

And.. i also tried watching this Hindi movie called 'LUCKY- no time for love' ( whatever shit that translates to!!) was just making an attempt to bear the movie. This movie is shot in Russia.. about some school girl (with a very very school-girly voice!! (sic)) falling in love with this dude, who is nowhwere even near to a school boy age! was trying to watch it.. but then they showed this scene where the 2 ( the school chic and the dude) are lost somewhere in Russia and they find a....hold ur breath.. ...........' a hindi-speaking Russian thug'!! I just lost it at that point..!

The world is going crazier by the day!!

What else..? hope the weekend will be good..!
till monday!

aaarrrgh...!

Today sucked just as much as yesterday...And a lil bit more.. as mental anguish was accompanied with physical pain ! Maybe..That's God's way of saying 'touche'! Thank you God..( my dad says, we must thank God for everything!)

What else?? hmm... Actually nothing!Or maybe I am just not in a mood to blog!
(Thought i will write my blog to divert my mind from the pain.. but the mighty pain has managed to divert me from the blog! )
gr8!

till next time!

Sulk sulk..crib crib!

Day sucked.. coz i had to work..! And as per my standards if i have to think for more than 10 minutes in succession its 'slogging'..! I think i was born to be a bonded labour.. or maybe a factory worker..who work on the belt.. mindlessly and mechanically! But then, productivity would still have been an issue! i think i mentioned laziness being in my bones somewhere before! So lets drop it!
hmmm.. what else.. ok..tried out 2 new things...first, a new brand of cup-o-noodles called 2pm! I wud rather have named it fuck-o-noodles!! YUCK!! was all hungry when i reached home at 11..and instant snack is always a temptation for me, well ...for reasons mentioned above! But the whole damnthing after mixing three seasonings was still bland and YUC! 'Seasonings' my ass..!! spoilt my hunger and my mood )%@#%)@#%)@&#@#!$@!! Just had a glass of synthetic juice which says '100% natural'( oh yeah.. really!!??)
But then, the second thing... :)! ahemm...!

Long back one of my frnds, Sai, told me to try a smoke with a lil aftershave dabbed on it.. givs a kick! so with sleep no where near.. thought of tryng that..!! and it was ...AWESUM!!! too gud..! also .. ur fingers dont reek of tobbaco after u have smoked..! Aaah haa!! nice and great way to end the day! thank u god for aftershave and smokes!! and thank you Sai for the idea of trying 'em together!!
not much for today..!
till next time!

Tee hee

Okie.. the day started on a bad note.. was so bad.. that its better tucked in inside my small head!

Anyway.. Resh.. u kind of lifted my spirits.. thanks... (she thinks i am gud at writing reviews... babe.. put such nice things in the comments..for the world to see!!)

I must let you know there are times when i hate everything in this world ... ( thanks to PMS!)Work is boring and extremely unexciting! Okie... the highlight of the day...( resh.. u are going to freak out on this one!) As i mentioned in my first blog.. that i write stuff that i dont understand..so, we need people to make us understand that stuff, they are called Subject Matter Experts(SMEs) ..For the course i am writing i have this dude of a SME..( whos supposedly an NRI...all australian accent and stuff!) So.. this mr.Australia-returned-dude took out his pen drive to copy data from my machine..and me.. the big motor mouth.. said..'so, how big is ur .....thing??' ( and that was said looking almost there... coz he was holding his 'pen drive' somewhere 'there'!! ( tee hee hee!) I had to turn around 180 degrees to hide my RED face. Thank god the dude was dumb enuff to bypass that cheap sick slip of tongue! Infact, i think he had no choice !!
We again had another client call and i am suffering from the headache that follows ( refer first blog to know more!)
And at last something gud also happened... and its so gud that its better tucked right inside my 'heart'!! :) Me happy after a long time.. although i know things will be the same frm tommorow.. but whateva...thank u God for intervening in my gloomy world with small joys!
On that wise sounding note.. bye bye bloggy!

till next time

The Weekend

Hmmm.. weekend was wokay..! Not much of excitement..! The highlights were the 2 movies i wanted to see since a long time . First...Kill Bill - 1 ( yes... believe me...i had not seen it till saturday!!) and second, a bengali movie dubbed in Hindi ..'Choker Bali'. A word abt both the movies...( lemme see how gud a crtitic i am)
Kill Bill- Aah haan.... well... first things first.. i dint like the very concept of the movie ending without Bill being killed!!! Secondly.... too much of japanese ... it was so unfair! though..the concept of showing the flash back in the animation mode was quite unique and interesting. Another thing.. Mr. Quentin..what do u exactly think about violence?? coz u almost made it look like funny... with all the blood oozing out like a shower!! So when the audience was supposed to gasp in terror, i was in splits.. seeing the 'blood shower'! Was damn funny...! No clue what was the idea behind that!! Anyway, also "wiggle my big-toe" and voila..from paralysed to walking in just 13 hours..! Some physio-cum-mental- therapy!! This movie beats bollywood exagerration anyday..! But all said and done... Uma Thurman rocks!!

Choker Bali- well... just makes u puke in disgust with all the orthodox bull shit! This is my interpretation of the movie..( my dad says u can interpret non-commercial cinema any which way!!) so... this movie was mainly about the condition of widows in India ( mainly bengal) around the time of independence! And how drinking tea and eating fish were considered sin for widows! besides that... also about.. widows being deprived of 'sex' ! and so on and so forth.! ( am not in a mood to write more about it.. so make whatever u can out of these well-written critiques!! )! Indian art cinema also rocks! in the sense that....it can rock u to sleep!

ummm.. okie.. what besides.. movies.. ??? yep.. had beer and smokes...and watched Truman Show for the second time..! well made movie... i liked it! Jim Carrey rocks to the power of 10.

Also... beer and 'gudang garam' together rock to the power of 100! :)

Have meetings and trainings lined up for today! in other words.... life's going to suck more than it usually does!

till next time!
