Hundred Deaths

I will not say that I will die for you, but every day living a day seems like dying a hundred deaths.

Wake Up Sid

Coming back to blogging scene after a long time. I watched the movie yesterday. I won't say it was fantastic movie but being a Bombaitte I could relate to certain parts of the movie.

The best dialogue in movie was Mumbai shehar kabhi sota nahin hain. Got to see the Queen's necklace - marine drive after a long time made me feel a lil nostalgic.

The story of a young 20 year old boy freshly out of college falling for a older female didn't make much of a sense but I guess Konkona Sen is typecasting herself to say that she is best suitable for such movies.

Overall the movie was not the kind that would jiggle but since you can relate to certain movie parts like where Sid has a fight with his parents and then leaving home and then trying to adjust to new circumstance where in you need to clean up your own dirt etc etc...

The wake up call that Sid gets when suddenly thrown out into the rat race is something which will strike a bell with many Bombaittes...I guess Sid was lucky to have found a place to trash when he decided to move out which many of us do not. It also depicts that each one of us has a talent in us which just needs to be recognized - I liked this message.

To this I would like to add - If you are good at something never ever do it for free.

I know this review was quite rusty but bear with me I am starting to write after a long time now.

Will get better...

Ike Graham: [on the perfect proposal] Look, I guarantee there'll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you're the only one for me.

Can it get perfecterrrr that this; wonder when I would be saying something like that or have I already said something like that.

'09 New Year and Events

Its been a month and half and I am posting my first blog of the year now. Well you this new year has been quite eventful. FIrst event was that I got drunk to the extent that I couldn't stand on y feet and could barely keep my mouth closed (for the first time) when the clock struck 12 - not that I was talking a lot but because I was vomitting out a lot. But I held still ha ha ! thats drunkard's cliche.

The second event being went back to India for my sister's wedding ... had a nice time there but alas could find no good looking girls... yea wat a pity!!! But I did a lotta shopping and realised that my perspective towards shopping had changed a lot and enjoyed shopping. But also got a fad credit card bill of around 28k.

Yea. My sis wedding went through without any hassles. Only thing was that I had nothing much to do, everything seemed to be well planned and fell into place except for a few hiccups here and there. Irony of the whole India trip is that when I was in Denver I missed home and when I was at home I missed Denver.

I came back on 25th Jan and then back to work. The IBM rolloout didn't seem to happen as expected and with the economy being down this is no good news for us (ppl working for the next roll out). Already one of us has been asked to go back and everyone's apprehensive about whose going to get the ticket next.

Now I got to go for a party of ABhi's (one of my many bosses) son.

There is one more thing but will post about that when the time's right.

The Land Of Oppurtunities

I guess title of the blog gives away what I intend to write...

Yes! You guessed it right. I finally landed in US of A. I am in Denver. It a pretty cold place, sometimes when its sunny the weather becomes quite pleasant. Its one week gone by; so far so good. I just met one idiotic persong in office who is nick named as NETA, trully an arse - has given work to do over the weekend and that too during Diwali time.


The flight from Bangalore to Denverw (via London) was petty tiring. I had a huge jet lag and it took around 5 days to get over it. The service in British Airways was quite good, I will recommend BA if you are planning on a trip to US. On landing in the USA it took me some time to get the security clearance done mainly because colleague's family had accompanied me - they were with 2 kids and their clearance took time. Then at the final baggage checking the Security was asking whther I was carrying jeera (cummin seeds) I didn't understand this odd request till one of my friends elucidated that a drug looking similar to jeera gets smuggled into US regularly. After getting out of the airport - I hailed a cab and reached the destination. Tahin (the cabbie) loaned me his cell phone to call up Deepak for directions and finally I was there at Tamarac. I got cleaned, had my dinner


I cudn't find time to complete the blog not because I was busy but becoz I am lazy so I am just posting the incomplete blog.

Rockon

Well I would say another good movie. I did watch it late...rather very late I guess, 3 weeks after release. Well I guess this is too late for review. So I would just say one thing if you haven't watched the movie you ought to.

Planning to watch Drona or Kidnap this weekeend ...lets c whether I manage any tickets.
