Mixed Reactions

Yesterday(Thursday) was an incredible day. Not in a good way or in a bad way. Just incredible. So many things happened and I just did not have sufficient time to react. By the end of every hour, I was unsure if I am supposed to be elated or sad. Now that's a real sorry state.. not knowing what expression you must have.. But that is exactly how I was yesterday. Till I slept.

What happened yesterday:

1. I come to office and boom!! .. there is a scary looking e-mail. By the looks of it, I was almost sure I will be fired. Pondered over it for the rest of the day. (Peeing in pants)


2. A colleague behaves weirdly so weird that its hard to not notice. Not that I didnt have my part to play in the sitaution. But, it was hitting me.. at some level. (Irritated)


3. Incidentally, other colleagues of mine seem uncannily friendly. (Confused)


4. My brother who was not talking to me for a while, suddenly popped an email. (Surprised)


5. A minute later he calls. (Happy :-))


6. My TL confesses that noone else got an e-mail like what I got. (Pee'd more in pants)


7. Brother again sends me an e-mail. (Happy :-))


8. Had a very nice chat with another colleague of mine. (Surprised)


9. My boss finally tells me that the e-mail is a good thing.. and not a bad thing. (Fucking relieved!) yay! I was not getting fired!


10. Went home happy only to see that 'someone' was not talking properly. (Pissed)

Finally when I got home, I was too damn tired to decide what expression I was supposed to have. So zzzzzzzz......

P.s - Weekend is here.. time for television wars (brother and dad) ! Let me grab my popcorn :P

Simple movies.. that manage to leave a mark

I barely get to watch tv. Thanks to my dad and brother. In the mornings I barely have time to watch and in the evening, it is already taken by my dad. Weekends are the best. I get to watch territorial wars between my brother and my dad to get control of the precious remote. Since my dad is out of town, the TV is all mine. All mine I tell you. Mine! Mine! Mine!!! Muhahahha... Well that's only till tonight though. Sigh.

Anyways, getting back to the point. Yesterday I was watching Notting Hill starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. Its such a simple and beautiful movie. Its a cliched story. But what really hit a home run was the highly well thought-off dialogues. Its so full of sarcasm, funny metaphors and well basically its my kind of subtle humor. Throughout the movie, the dialogues are so apt. None out of place.. All managing to convey the meaning perfectly. It helps you get back in touch with the romantic side in you.

Also, I like Hugh Grant's outfits.. simple pink and blue shirts that suit him sooooooo well *Drool*.

I just liked the movie so much and enjoyed it bcoz there was no 'I wanna watch the National Geographic Channel' or 'Put Sun Music' or 'Maanada Mayilada' or some unnecessary requests of that sort. The TV was all MINE :-). I was at peace.

A 1 and a 2 and 3 4 5

Everytime I watch a movie particularly English ones, I admire the perfectly toned bodies that the heroines have. Its fantastic. No flab anywhere. Perfectly toned legs, curves with no extra flesh hanging anywhere (except where it counts that is ;-)). They can carry off any kinda outfit. I remember when I was watching transformers, the heroine was in a mini skirt and the hero ogles at her as she fixes his car. I dont care if they have gone under the knife or anything, its not impossible to get that kind of body.. Is it???

Irrespective of the mockery and the impossibility of all this happening, I have decided. I am joining Aerobics classes! There.. Maybe i wont become transformer's heroine :P But atleast little little shapely will suffice.

The weekend and then on..

Random Updates:

• Another friend of mine saw Delhi-6 and expressed a strong urge to throw shoes at the screen to show her disgust.


• Went to besant nagar beach yday.. not that I dont know that its dirty, but yday was incredibly dirty. It was like they were celebrating dirty sunday. Eew!


• The power was off on saturday at work. So we were declared half day off! :)


• Its getting too bloody hot during the day. I need a sun resistant armor to protect whatever complexion I have. Meager as it already is.


• I am gonna drive the car every night to practise.. so I can take it to work. Enough of the share autos and crowded buses. And yes I am gonna start adding my quota to global warming. Sorry about that.


• Things are getting too complicated at home. Moral of the story - Humans are irritating.


• My tailor slightly screwed up my clothes. I look like Saroja Devi when I wear the kurtas. Maybe I will instigate a new trend in fashion. :-)


• I finally remember how to say sit down (respectfully) in Marwadi. Berawjo sa .. Yay! Awesomeness is came! :P


• Suddenly I am considering buying a car. With 2000 rupees in my bank account. I am an optimist. I know.

Thats all.. You all can go now :-)

Delhi - 6

After watching a terrible movie like Vaaranam Aayiram (VA) from a fantastic director, I guess I thought things could not get worse. But it did! The movie that I dared to watch after VA was Delhi - 6 and damn I couldnt have made a worse choice. Vijay's movie would've been 10 times better. Now maybe that was a bit too harsh.. I take it back.. We all know nothing can be as bad as Vijay's movies :-)

The movie starts off with disconnects in the scenes which we assume will fall into place during the course of the movie which unfortunately doesnt happen even till the end credits start rolling. I felt the essence of the movie was very similar to that of Swades. But compares nothing to the original. Swades was a brilliant movie with brilliant screenplay and fantastic acting. The characters were strong and had distinct identities. Delhi - 6 has none of this.

Cons:

• Bad screenplay


• Terrible dialogues.. failed to create any impact whatsoever


• Subtle humor was intended.. turned out to be too subtle.


• Loose characters


• No coherence


• The love scenes had no depth


• Kaala bandhar was bloody overdone


• No sensible reasoning behind any of Abhishek's decisions
• I thought 'rehna tu' was a romantic song.. but it was playing even when Abhishek was talking to Rishi Kapoor or any body on the road for that matter. Am I mistaken or is this really a con??


• Whatever happened to Sonam Kapoor's dream of becoming the Indian Idol?

Pros:

• Sonam Kapoor's fresh face.

To sum it up.. the movie SUCKS! Just cannot believe its from the guy who made a movie as intense as Rang De Basanti.

The dark cloud

Have you seen those looney tunes cartoons, especially the Daffy Duck ones where sometimes the sun is shining everywhere but a dark cloud accompanied by lightning follows him around? And however hard he tries, the cloud just doesn't go away.. Well I am Daffy Duck since yesterday. Yay me!

My Clothes and Me!

I shop a lot. Not that like thats news for anyone who knows me - but just setting up the scene here. Thats me up there in the picture by the way :-).

So i buy these clothes and develop incredibly strong sentiments for/against them.

Scenario #1 - I hate it

I buy something that I completely love and it sleeps in my cupboard for eternity. Everytime I look at it, I despise it and just cannot get myself to wear it. Finally its goes towards charity. A fresh new piece of clothing.. just like that.

Scenario #2 - I love it too much

I wear it continuously till a black kurta becomes a shade of gray after frequent washing.

Scenario #3 - Its not good for me

I had a terrible day on Nov 12th, I have not worn those clothes after that. I am infact almost scared to touch it. It was one of my lucky outfits. Some luck that turned out to be.

Scenario #4- I think its good for me

I wear these outfits for every interview, every damn place where I need luck.

Scenario #5 - Someone hates it

If someone hates an outfit that I own, I end up liking it all the more and I feel like wearing it everytime I am going to meet that person :P (Thats jus the mean person in me)

So.. Is it just me ?? or is everyone like this?
