The Era of comebacks

Just finished watching Mama Mia! Yes, I believe everybody knows how I am a sucker for clit-lit and chick-flicks. And I have to tell you, the story was shite to say the least, but the brilliant use of Abba as the soundtrack, was well brilliant. Absolutely marvelous, so there I was sitting and watching the movie and I failed to remember when I last heard Abba's music. Weird isn't it, I mean you grow up listening to songs and then along the way you forget all about them and suddenly it all comes back. It's like the return of the shirt episode in How I met your mother. So downloading the greatest hits of Abba right about now, so that I can pop it into my ipod and find new meanings to the lyrics all over again.

It is something like life isn't it. I mean you go about doing things your entire life and then you change, you lose track of friends, forget about past relationships, and suddenly out of nowhere they pop back into your life like the rabbit from the magician's hat. And you are left wondering why in the earth did things change, and change so dramatically? Guess am just getting old. Think I may just be like Benjamin Button with a twist, growing really really old, super fucking fast and I look just the same from the outside.

I suggest you go watch Mama Mia! Not because of its OTT story line and the broadway style rendition of song a minute routine, but for the sheer joy of stumbling upon things which made you smile when you were a teenager, singing along to all the songs and surprising yourself on how you still manage to remember all the lyrics, I suggest you call/email/sms somebody from your past whom you just have not called and may have thought about from time to time. No, this is not the do something before doomsday arrives email forwarded shit, but trust me the feeling one gets after doing such a thing, ranges from weird to really good, really depends on whom you calling and how drunk you are. :P

Amul - A Short Story

Its morning again, I can hear the darned birds chirping outside, with my eyes still closed I can hear the ticking sound of the wall clock like the irritating sound of the water faucet dripping. The water faucet never drips in my house, because I don't like it dripping, like the way mom's head was dripping blood, and flooded the floor and spoiled the carpet. I like everything neat and clean. My name is Amul. I believe my father was especially fascinated by the utterly butterly delicious girl. Though I have a liking towards her myself I don't like to acknowledge that to anybody. Though not many people have actually found out about this connection. But am aware of this because my father during one of his happy drunken moods told me about this. And those are rare cases. I know for a fact that even if am genetically part of my father, I will never become like him. I study in the 7 th grade. And I like my school. My favorite subject is math. I don't understand why people...

A moment to Remember – They don’t make movies like these since 2004.

Can you recall the last movie which made you drop your defenses and your cynical view of the world and relationships? Can you recall the last movie which made you yearn for something which you knew was all reel but you hoped that it was real? Can you recall the last movie which made you invest so much in the lead characters that you forgot where you were and cried your soul out? Can you remember the last movie which made you reminiscence of a time when you truly and really believed in fairy tales? I do, well some of them anyway, couple of movies do pop in mind which might answer most of the questions I ask, ‘Jerry Maguire’, ‘Love Story’, ‘The Notebook’ and ‘50 First Dates’. But if you look at the release dates of each of these movies, Jerry Maguire – 1996, Love Story – 1970, The Notebook – 2004, 50 First Dates – 2004, it has been more than a decade since I have seen these movies.  2004, apparently seems to be the year, fairy tales for the new century were written and tra...

FAQs

I have no idea why, not that I am complaining but there is huge surge in the number of people who are now reading my blog. And this has been bought (or is it brought, will never really get the difference between the two) to my attention by the slew of comments, by different people, a majority of them complete strangers. And I always have the same old standard questions which keep cropping every single time whenever I see an anon comment. So just like every other great idea of mine, which seem to glow like those bulbs which I first saw in Archie comics (mostly around Dilton's head, guess that is his name, the nerdy guy, don't really remember it so well, read that when I was in 4 th grade or something, my favorite was Moose), and the idea stuck that why don't I get these questions out of my system, whether they get answered or not is totally different issue. Though I understand that the reason why people chose to be anonymous is either they are famous and want common mortals...
