Seperate Ways...

Is the song I am listening to on repeat currently by Teddy Thomson, seems kind of apt at the moment given the situation that I have just washed my hands off a cool 80k. Easy come and easy go is what I say. You guys should must give this Teddy dude a try, the guitar and the vocals are a painful all puns intended (even the ones which I probably din’t think about). Anyway, so I figured before I immerse myself like a nerd on Prozac for the upcoming exams a movie marathon should do the trick to put me in the mood.
Q. What movies did I watch?
A. Hmm, let me see
1. Gulal – and about time too I should say, and I have to tell that I love Anurag’s stories and storytelling because they are and told in a manner which is similar to mine. The movie is heavy and needs to have a set mood before you watch it, try reading about it before you go watch it.
2. Watchmen – One of those movies which I thought would be pop-corn faring box office busting movies, well it is, but this is way better than I imagined it. If you have read the comics then don’t watch it cos you ll find the pace of the movie to be bit slack but if you haven’t then welcome to the world of watchmen where Superheroes have sex. Enough said.
3. Straight – Now this is a time pass movie, one of those which you watch because you really have nothing better to do (studying for exams does not count)
4. Nick and Norah’s infinite playlist – decent chick flick. Nice soundtrack as the name suggests but worse then straight. Watch this only when you have finished watching straight and you still don’t have anything to do, and I mean absolutely nothing not even having watching straight on your list.
5. Yes Man – yeah, it was a decent time pass movie, nothing to really rave and rant about. Bit on the lines of Bruce Almighty and Liar Liar.
6. My Best Friend’s Girl – This is another ok movie, something on the lines of hitch but awesome sound track for the movie though.
7. Valkyrie - something like Mangal pandey, just that you don’t feel that when Tom Cruise gets court marshaled he died for nothing like how Aamir Khan does in Mangal Pandey.
8. Chariots of Fire – Just wanted to watch something underdog-ish feel good movie.
9. Field of Dreams – Fuckall movie, I have no idea why it gets referenced in so many guy movies. I mean Rocky beats this sports movie hollow like one of those beef ribs Rocky punches the shit out of.

Apart from all the movies, I got myself one of those toy guns which shoots pellets and pretended to be 007 on her Majesty’s secret service whilst playing NoHoldem Texas Poker at the casino royale lobby (courtesy Facebook) trying to relive the magic of Casino Royale all over again. Oh did I mention that I also had the by far the most ugliest breakups ever in recent history. It was so ugly that my weight on the weighing machine looks like a pretty figure. Talking about weight and shit, I think I tore my rotor cuff muscle and it hurts like a bitch so squash is going to take a break for 2 weeks till I get past the 2 completely unknown subjects for which I need to writing exams for. The hand in the sling does make it look all cool and stuff, but typing with one finger really is a hard task.

The good news is that I would be going to Mumbai for a good 4-5 days at the end of the month. Oh and by the way just a reminder if the woman says that she will pop a pill the next day don believe her. Just trust me on that one. Replied to my dad’s mail, its kind of difficult for me to comprehend the fact that I manage to crack a smile when I find dad’s emails in my inbox. Maybe I hate to admit it but maybe just maybe I am little girl in ringlets waiting for her dad’s approval and shit. Fuck knows…

This is probably the worst preparation for exams I have done in a really long time. And I have no idea why, maybe because the subjects are a fucking drag. I think that the subjects are as appealing as getting blown by some grandmotherly woman without her false set of teeth. Yeah, I know I am rambling, you know what I really need is a good movie with an awesome character in it, just so that I can escape this drudgery for the next 2 weeks. I really am not looking forward to hitting those books trust me. But I have to, about time too… or maybe I just need to get laid. :P

You want a good movie with a strong character(s) in it ??

Infernal Affairs
(The original from which The departed was copied. It is bloody awesome. Trust me)

(You will fall at the feet of the lead actress in this one. )

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...

Happy reading... I suppose...

Hello! Been quite a while since I stared down at the blinking cursor. So here... Uploading ALL of the stories I started and left unfinished over the years (reckon some of this is from circa 2009). Not sure how long the download links will work for... So if you want to read something, reckon best to download them and then like most things in ones' refrigerator, junk them when mold begins to grow on it. NOTE: The work is not proof-read, so there will be errors, spelling mistakes, missing words among others. The Great Indian Mythology : Was supposed to be a re-telling of Mahabharat set in today's day and age in a tongue in cheek manner. But the more I read the actual original story, I realized I can't top the fuckedupness that already exists. But, I did enjoy writing few bits of it.  Will rate this 2/5. If you think what I have written is fucked up, wait till you read the actual story... Not the PG rated Amar Chitra Katha... Also points deducted because I didn'...
