Coz reality sucks

I'm flying over a brilliant foreign landscape,water which is actually blue and not that weird looking green encompasses a small area of land on which a beautiful mansion stands. I'm speeding away on the meandering highway,following someone who has taken Bond's girlfriend.Bond is pissed,but then he gets into deeper shit so his mood isn't given any thought. I am inside the movie. Clap ,Clap ,Clap! I come out and look up to see the sour face of the cook telling me to go have lunch. I reluctantly get up,at the price of missing a good scene of the movie and come running back with the food. Cook is shaking her head and I don't bother telling her that she acts the same way when her film is on. So we get sucked into this anorexic LED screen.It takes our full attention. Well its like the title says,reality sucks! Okay maybe it's not as much that as the fact that celluloid/t.v is more interesting. I have a theory.For myself,because I do not like generalizing.This theory m...

Newspaper Dissection(Review of a newspaper experience)

The financial section is all "hmm...ya...thats a load of crap." The headlines is all "Didn't we have the same thing yesterday?" The sports section is like "Dayumn, He's good looking!Wowza!" The films section ".........................." (well the filmi section is not news.Its gossip.)  The classified section...I don't even glance at it,except to look at the matrimonial ad's and laugh  "Wanted:Bride,fair with matriculate qualification,must be super hot and filled with cash.Must know how to cook." And the number of advertisements...sheesh...we do not care about your products!Newspaper is for news! What are they thinking!  I like reading other peoples thoughts on world happenings,because that's the only section that makes any sense to me. They explain what is happening in kindergarten terms,my standards. That and the comic section.I love the comic section.Garfield,Peanuts,Archies,Beau Beep,B.c...they neve...

The ice-truck killer,The philosopher and Java

Season finale(season one) of Dexter tonight at 10  ! I am aware of the fact that the season one had ended long back(probably years back) but I came to know of the series in febuary February. Creepy and intriguing with way too much blood involved.Watched the episodes on and off whenever I could catch them but watched enough to understand the story and to know that I like it. American Television is the best,just brilliant. Meanwhile I have been reading The Zahir by Paulo Coelho-done with 170 pages. He should get his hair colored violet. I haven't read many books. The only reason I read his books are because they are famous.It's not something I would randomly pick. Some pages I can relate to,though I don't want to.Some pages I feel it's a pointless read.Some pages he makes more sense than I want him to. I feel like he's written everything that was going on in his mind.One extremely long blog entry! Got a week to go for  my exam. Have got to finish Java t...

From the heart

Image
This is one of A.R Rahman's best compositions thus far. Its called Dil Se(literal translation being 'From the Heart'). Here are my favorite lines and their rough description: Dil to akhir dil hai na,meethi si mushkil hain na .... ----The heart is just a heart,A sweet difficulty. Dil hain to phir dard hoga, Dard hain toh dil bhi hoga, Mausam guzarte rehte hain... ----If you have a hear,you will have the pain If you have the pain,then you will have the heart too The seasons just pass by

Ten lines or less

Its not a tear Just some dust in my eye Just some dust in my heart Can't be real pain Who is to blame? That is not a cry It's a cold Like the rest of me Who is to blame? Me.     ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We think, We over think We plan, Life makes its own plans We hope, We are crushed We never learn We look back too often We look ahead too often Watch where you go It will be enough --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Funny how hearts are squished Funny how we want to fall Funny how we get disappointed When all along we knew that was all -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- They are in my heart but you are in my soul If i lose them I will cry if I lose you i won't How can I? You are me    ------------------------------------...

Procrastination is a bad word.

Final Exams are a pain if you have studied but not learnt and if you want marks you don't deserve. My finals started on 3rd of this month and end on 30th of this month.And I just have 5 subjects. Yeah,C.B.S.E is a mad bitch. So now I have like 10 days left for my next(and last) exam. Whoooo will feel like studying you tell me? So I spend my time designing and updating this blog and checking other blogs. And i recently rekindled my love for hindi songs.After like two years of ignoring it and listening to the best of english--The Beatles,Snow Patrol,Bryan Adams,Enrique,Colbie Calat,Coldplay etc., I am back to the world of the hindi where in the end,no matter what,everything will become alright through a teary eyed reunion followed by a six minute song.They over do it a bit don't they. Hindi movies always make me smile that broad haaaappy smile.They are so colorful! Figuratively. Actually literally also. The bonds are traditional in the movies and the comedy slapstick.The music ...

The Gift by Cecelia Ahren

Image
I am biased when it comes to work by Cecelia Ahren because she makes it to my prestigious list of favorite brilliant writers.Her style is simplistic,modern and human. I got the paper-back version of this book from a street vendor at Rs.70 when the price of the original was Rs.250.It's the same words,just a cheaper looking cover and the shame of piracy.Ah but I'm sure Cec is a bindaas girl who would understand how much it pinches the pocket to have such luxurious(yes,luxurious) preferences.She'd be happy that I read. This is one of my favorite parts in the book: "I'm Gabriel,but everyone who knows me calls me Gabe."     "I'm Lou,but everyone who knows me calls me a prick." The Review: The Gift is a Christmas story that talks of the importance of time and how less of it we actually have.It entwines the life of Lou,a competitive office guy who is too busy to be with family, and Gabe,a beggar who used to sit outside Lou's office building. Lou pi...

My Work.....

Like 95% of the blogger world,I am a little bit of a poet myself. Most of them are no good but some I'm really proud of. So here I go. When I say my billionth goodbye, It shall be the same as it was yesterday, You will leave me with a smile, The fabric will be torn away, It will hurt that you won't feel, the meaning of last finally revealed, the noises will continue without me, Fewer souls required to breathe, If I could have made a speech before, I'd say I'm glad you spared the time, and let me be when I called you mine, And my heart will stop because I left you .

If you watch "Make it or Break it" on Zee Cafe,you'll understand the title. So here in India the only two English soap channels available seem to be Star World(which is AWESOME-except for the time when they air snooze inducing shows like bachelorette,bachelor,bold and beautiful ,VIP) and Zee Cafe(which has its moments of note). However,due to pressure from inter-galactic forces our cable guy suddenly decides that he doesn't want us to watch Star World and takes it off,just like that,with a click of his fingers. It is scary to recount how angry I was.Those were the darkest days of my life. Its only a few weeks later that I realised what a noble thing this man has done, persuading me to watch Zee Cafe.I am now a Make It or Break It Fan/Junkie. For those of you who don't spend a good one hour watching the lives of fictional characters crumble and reassemble day after day,well you are cursed with spending your days having a life.Bah! as if tha...

Under Construction

How many times do you have to try before you finally accept that you suck at it? My Dear Readers,if there are any-otherwise this is just a reminder of my failure to myself,this is my third attempt at blogging.I have to say it is a little tiresome and very spirit dampening when no one seems to be reading what you write.How other bloggers,my arch nemesises(plural of nemesis,I think)  have the patience to click-ty click the keyboard keys and write down their whole life story along with pictures and attached videos is beyond me. However,I am willing to give it another try--yay! I thought I should use this space to write something I like,something that interests me,delve deep into my heart. All I could think of was T.V,Movies,Books,Music and Human Behaviour. Just normal youth stuff. So I thought to myself,  "hey,why not share my useless and trivial knowledge with the rest of the world and the multiverse?" Hence.I will be utilizing this blog to share my revie...
