rumblings over the weekend

Well....some time since i actually wrote something....the passport outing did go out miserably.....some wise head in the passport office decided that a bank statement with the last entry from 22-Feb is not current enough and so needs updation.....leaving me with a couple of choices...take another appointment and get back with the documents updated, or race against time- get a entry made in the passbook within an hour....so there i was, thanks to some wonderful friends that i have, doing a round trip to Karol bagh...well over 11 km, in an auto, withdraw cash from bank, get passbook updated, and go back in time before the office closes....whew...the bad part- i was traveling in an auto after ages, and they travel like at a snail's pace, and the good part- I MANAGED TO BE BACK IN 60 minutes....despite a little help(??) from my friends.....someone named Paritosh aka PK da could throw more light on it.... OK, the weekend was like real cool....was in office on Saturday, went to Om sweets twice- somehow the masala dosa was better than the signature matar kulcha and cholle bhature , and then watched multiple movies back to back...was to get some cash deposited to my PPF account for the current financial year, but had to drop the idea, so there's more work already lined up for next year...getting my PPF account normalised. Well, here's my take on the movies for the weekend.. 1. Gulaal - Great movie, amazing songs and most amazing lyrics...the movie somehow looked similar to Omkara....both movies were about deceiptful women, and good women, deceitful men, student and larger politics, and semi urban backgrounds...loads of undercurrents and khadi boli.....i kinda liked the girl who played Kiran in the movie, not sure who was the actress.....she was good as the cool seductress, real devilish eye manouvres, all in all a good and intense watch, a good film from Anurag Kashyap after a not so good Dev-D 2. Aloo Chaat - Again a decently light watchable movie, only a one time movie, too many loose ends, but a feel good sort of movie 3. Finding Nemo - Well, watched it for the zillionth time, somehow the movie always makes me feel good, and makes me nostalgic about a big ocean and friends who help you cross it when it matters the most....the forgetful dorry and then nostalgia led me to finding songs, there's this album from Vangelis called Conquest of paradise(well its and OST for the movie by the same name), and it is just amazing...the title track somehow makes me feel all charged up, and there's this piece, entering twin falls by Nicholas Gunn.....no matter how low you may be feeling, these songs could life your spirits....entering twin falls again comes from a dear friend who (rightly) pointed out the mood swings within the song.....would request everyone who comes to this blog to try and listen to these tracks... the week ahead promises to be hectic, and i m not used to working hard anymore.....so not sure when i come back to the blog

Dinner, Marriage and the way time flies

was out with friends a while back for dinner, and somehow there was a small remark about marriage- nothing serious, but it made me think - why is it that marriage is so much a part of our culture, that it has to appear anywhere are everywhere in discussions and chit chat, ok, it was not being discussed today, but was just a part of leg pulling, but still.... as i look at it, marriage is about a lot of companionship, a lot of being together, and a part of the being together in bed(well i have tried to be use axioms for the bed part, we all know what it is)....and so companionship is the key...you should be able to connect to the person, and that is where the indian society stands on its head, how can you be sure that you connect, and if you guys are not sure, how do you take the plunge? and what if the plunge drowns you and never let u resurface??? ok, i know this is a rather pessimistic view of the entire thing, after all almost all the people we know, or most of them have got hooked up this way. shady hai bhai!!! ok, back to dinner.....went to bercos' - good starters, not so good main course, and followed by an amazing coffee at CCD....wrote on tissues, and cards and bills after like ages.....f@#$ yaar its like more than a decade out of school and would soon be a decade outta college....., someone mentioned that arts faculty has not changed for some time, as long as i could remember arts faculty was like going thru permanent renovation, and so was all the main campus.....seems like yesterday.... ok, i still have nt decided or thought over if the blog is gonna have a cenntral theme, besides of course ME, but maybe i would just ramble for sometime till i get the hang or regular blogging.....any ideas , any one..??
