Can't fall asleep

Its 3:41 AM as I start writing this post and it is no time to stay awake. Especially if you are sitting in front of the computer at home, alone. The fact of the matter is that i am ill and i have been sleeping all day. I can't sleep any more, i am sick of it.

So what does one do late in the night when he can't fall asleep, i saw a movie it was good waste of my time, that was fun. Then i was looking for stuff on EBAY, things i am not going to buy and i cannot afford any time soon.

Then i thought of what i want to do with my life. I spent 10 whole minutes to this.

Then i wanted to find out what Denzel Washington's age was, so i went to Wikipedia and then i stumbled upon the movie Glory then to the Civil War and then to Apartheid and then to...well you get the picture....i spent over an hour on Wikipedia and now i have forgotten what Denzel Washington's age is.

Having worked up my appetite i spent the next 15 minutes searching for a fix in the kitchen, i found curds. Thats what i ate...curds....definitely not worth the 15 minute search.

Having made my way back to my seat i decided that i would do something more productive, i chose to bug people on Facebook. Going through their pictures and activities...commenting on them, some encouraging, some discouraging, some stupid and some plain wrong.

Stumbled upon an old crushe's photo album, recieved guilty pleasure in the voyeuristic activity, then was utterly remorseful.

Decided to write this blog....before that i switched on ADSENSE on my blog. Guess i am going to make a steady income from here on end....SHUT UP its possible.

Now i am out of things to write...no intelligent thought....no revelation...no sad epiphany...no angry emotion or opinion....just a silence....a silence.

I think i will go off to sleep now....BAH

Requisition for a Partner

Working in the media fraternity makes you more sensitive to all kinds of media, at the same time making it tasteless and merely a tool in your tool box. Over a period of time you lose the taste for news, shows, articles or any other vehicle of communication. Now i merely scan the paper without a hint of emotion, i don't look at a piece with interest, i am bothered about who wrote it, what page it appears on and who might have manipulated the journalist to do the article. Do not get me wrong, this has an advantage, you can get through about 5 - 6 papers in about 20 minutes this way. But on a casual Sunday such as this one i ease through the paper, this is when i realize that i have to make an effort to enjoy the paper. Absorb the goodness, this is more than a small challenge as i have little regard for the editorial knowing what i know.

But today i spent about an hour with the Times of India this morning. I was reading the matrimonial section, i wasn't browsing, i was literally reading every single one of the ads. This is a veritable market for brides and grooms. The sheer desperation of some of the ads were not sad not surprising though. On the other hand there were some surprisingly young people looking for partners in the classifieds. It got me thinking on what goes on in the mind of the souls who at the loss of all hope take the decision to tell the world that they are single and looking.

This is certainly quite the scary thought, that one of these days i will have my own ad in that paper. No i think i will use a marriage website.....

The Three Idiots

With over six months of publicity, gossip, word of mouth, twitter updates, scandals, facebook applications, college debates and disappearing acts later finally Three Idiots released in theaters on the 25th of December 2009. Obviously, the first thought that comes to mind is, will the movie be up to snuff with the expectations it has created? Will i be happy with the comedy or is it going to be the few lines shown in the premiere? Is the movie going to be a typical Hindi film or something more?

If i may?,i would like to stick my neck out and say that the movie was good. In that it satisfied my senses for the three hours that i was in the theater. As my friend put it, there was never a moment that our attention veered away from the screen. We never felt disconnected from the plot, never uninterested.

The direction was beautiful, it was as if some brilliant student from college wanted to try something new and had brought in that fresh outlook. Also it was like a college graduate, as there was hardly an extra scene, the songs also told a tale and meant something.

Cinematography, rarely do you see movies paying so much attention to detail. The lighting, the angles and the backdrop shots were great. I especially like the Pandong Lake scene, the tourism department could do with using shots like that and getting people to go to Ladakh. I am going in 2010.

The acting in the movie was very free flowing, it didn't seem like there were any plastics in any of the scenes which is very refreshing. Boman Irani seemed a little repetitive with the whole Dr. Asthana acting in the movie but he kicked ass as an emotional dad. Kareena, Madhavan, Sharmaan were good in their supporting roles. Personally loved that Madhavan was the narrator.

Aamir Khan - Genius

The real hero in this movie is the well thought out plot and dialogue. The plot is going somewhere, has a direction and up to the last 20 minutes you do not really know where that is. Highlighting the current education system was worthwhile. Unfortunately the last 20 were a lot like a typical Hindi film, which is not always such a bad thing.

All said and done, is this movie going to be viewed and appreciated by future generations? I hope so

Wrath

Oh! the fools, oh such mortal men,
reduced to silly putty, all of a sudden when?
vexed with thoughts of attract women,
fall into traps laid carefully by wiser men

The state of affairs is very sad,
scouring this desert for company is driving them mad,
masculine men, turned into boyish lads,
with the promise of a fair maidens hand

The evil beings are taking advantage,
gullible people are caught in a rampage,
of incessant mailers and friend requests,
while stupidity takes over and reason ends

This is a symptom of a larger disease,
when we give them the world, if they would just say please,
the aching of our hearts are misunderstood,
we would lash out and hurt, if we nearly could

These cowards know not, what their transgressions do,
their machinations and wicked plans one day they will rue,
I believe for all that's done, God will make ammends,
Light of the world, my true partner one day He will send


PS - Attached below is the e - mail that sparked this poem off

Maria...oh Maria

The very mention of this fantastic song makes me think of all the hot Latin American women in the world, and all the Catholic women in India. The Mocha skin, the curves, the sultry look in their eyes.

The women who is a fantastic lady in social company, and a wild whore in bed.

She loves to get down to her passion and is not at all ashamed to let every one know about it.

Magnifico!

Babe Overlord

For me this is the epitome of the'player's song. Sure for a lot of people any Hip - Hop song is all about sexual innuendo and hot women dancing and posing, but MVP and Rock Your Body was one of those corner stone songs which comes to mind before any of the other songs.

There are so many honey's in this video, you have to watch it at least 50 times to appreciate each and everyone of these women. And if you pay attention each and every one of them is hot. Great Casting - Five Stars

The girl who sings, that is the Hottest swimsuit i have seen till date. The girls look really seductive and nice.

Did i mention that the song on its own also is really good....ahh well that can escape the attention.

Where would i be?

Where would i be without the sweet melodies and rhymes?,
that took me through the joys and tough times,
most of all through monotony, when i had nothing to do

What would i rush to? for inspiration,
for reason and meaning in this bleeding confusion,
How else would i have kept real and sane?
Become at one with the world, forgotten my name

Would i have drifted the way i do into the ocean of sound?
without the harmony to go around

Love, peace and joy to all!

Habits

Something about me. I work at a Public Relations consultancy firm, and as any consultancy firm goes it is very noisy. Everybody is talking, pitching uhm..strategizing, gossiping and even faffing. The product of this is a steady and consistent cacophony. At first anyone would think that working in a place like this would be absolutely impossible. And yet, the noise becomes such a part of your life that when you can start hearing yourself think, it gets kinda eerie.

I have been sitting in office since 8:15 AM this morning and trying to get some work done. Normally the mob gets in by about 9:30 - 9:45 AM.

Here it is 10:00 AM and it is eerily silent......its weirding me out.

And to think that we are always searching for some peace and quiet, really????

Brown man caught in the woods

THIS JUST IN

A brown man - 6 feet something in height, athletic build and lovely smile, has been just caught cheating on his wife with another woman.

*I don't care what does it matter another brown man cheated on his wife

MORE INFORMATION ON THE STORY WE ARE FOLLOWING

Reports are just coming in that the unfaithful brown man is Tiger Woods. Yes Tiger Woods the professional golfer has been caught cheating on his wife.

*Oh, its Tiger Woods, i have to watch this now, i have to know every detail about this case. After all, this is not just another brown man, this is THE BROWN MAN

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The media coverage that an unfaithful husband is getting is voyeuristic and shameful. Tiger had a domestic quarrel, this is a personal matter. Tiger is a private citizen, so is Linda neither are answerable to the public at large. Yet, Tiger was forced to comment on his personal life, give a statement which of course sparked off other problems for the poor man.

I do not care who Tiger Woods fucked, let alone the fact that he fucked five different women over the course of the last 8 years. Good for him, in fact for the person he is, i am surprised that he has not fucked 500 women. This is a moot point, Tiger is his own man, a 34 year old who can handle his personal life.

Bottom line - Tiger is a fantastic athlete (YES TIGER MAKES GOLF SEEM ATHLETIC) and he has done much for the sport. Personal 'transgressions' are no concern of ours and out of respect for the player we should stay away.

Men Cheat? HAWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

Are you serious? You are telling me that a red blooded male, looks at other women in a lustful manner eventhough he is in a loving and committed relationship? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NEWSFLASH] - MEN CHEAT

It is a natural order of things. Men have been put on this earth to do one thing and one thing only - Procreate, Sexual Congress, Ball, Boink, Bone, Lay, Mount, Hump FUCK. That is because any animal's job is to multiply in number.

This as i put it is the Natural order of things - but so is squatting on the ground, wearing animal hide and using stones to scribble on the wall (Wait we do those things). Since we have absorbed the other forms of civilized behaviour i guess being faithful cannot be an exception. But here is the thing, men will still cheat.

So, sure punish the guy for going outside for some pie, but do consider the fact that you haven't worn your oven mits in a while.
