New Post

Life is boring , generally , these days. I just sit at home and read these ebooks on the computer. Not that that is boring , but it tends to make my neck ache after a while , and by evening , even my eyes hurt a bit. So , I leave the ebook after a while , to do some other things .... this is where the boredom starts. Coz there is not much to do. It is still one week before the college opens.
Meanwhile , it has again become fucking hot in Delhi , along with loads of humidity , which just compounds the problem. So you can't even go out.
The ebook I am reading these days is from this series called the Dragonlance series . This series has hoards of books (130 , I read somewhere ... but they are defnitely more than 25-30). I just finished with the first trilogy , the chronicles (first generation) :
-Dragons of the autumn twilight
-Dragons of the winter night
-Dragons of the spring dawning
Now I am beginning with the second trilogy ... the legend series .. about the twins. One of them being a magi ... how I love reading abut this character. Frankly , I have become a fantasy nut. It all started with this book called Eragon , whose pirated copy I finally managed to find and read. As soon as I finished with that .... I needed more dragons ... and then I finally stumbled upon this dragonlance series. Though things are a lot different in the two books ... but I love this series anyways.
Then I saw this movie 'Snatch'. Awsesome movie. Don't miss it .... I really loved this movie.
Ummm... what else ? I guess , that is about it. That pretty much wraps what I have been doing this week.
I wanted to write something more about fantasy and magic , and the hope they generate ... the whole thing I that I was thinking the other day ... but I just forgot whatever I was thinking. So ... chuck it ...
That will be all for this post.

Where have I been ?

Its been some time since I last posted. I was not very busy , just that the thought of leaving blogging had come to my mind again. Why ? I dunno ...... like a friend said : "There's so much i have to do in life...if i ever do it,then there will be something to write about.right now i am saturated with it." But like always ... I talked myself into it again ...
So ... what do I write in this post ?

It has pretty much been a boring week. First there was this super crappy marrriage. Crappy by all standards. Lousy food , no chicken .. and no Daru. How useless can a marriage get ? And it was so fucking hot ... I was half drowned in sweat by the time I reached the AC hall inside. At last it ended .. and I came back to Delhi.

I saw this movie called 'Eyes wide shut'. Remember ? Stanley Kubriks last movie ? The one with loads of sex in it ... Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise ... , so I saw it ... and couldn't make heads or tails of it .... it ended so suddenly .. had I not seen the casting .. I would have never believed that the movie was complete. Well .. there are some things that are made for the really intelligent beings .. with everything having meanings in layers. I can't really bother to even think for their meaning ... the reason I used to really like Govinda type movies ... no brain required to see them ... and even if you start seeing them 1.5 hrs after the movie started ... you'll understand every bit of the movie ... and there is plenty of laughter.
I also saw Shawshank Redemption ... amazing movie.

I started with a Grisham (The Partner).

Umm... what else ..
Ya ... got drinking again yesterday. And while at the peak of the high ... I had the following conversation with one of my friend (three of us were there) :
N : "You remember I told you about this professor who became schizophrenic ?"
Me : "Ya"
N : "You know who he is ?"
Me : "No"
N : "He is my dad."
( And then he began to cry. And believe me ... I was stunned ... I didn't know what to say for some time. )
N : "You know ... everybody used to laugh at him. They used to make fun of him .. and laughed at me too. I got admission in the same university he taught .. and used to attend his each class ... I was the only one .. alone .. I sent my mother and siblings away. I used to keep awake with him for all those nights .. and used to talk to him. Only I know how I got through those two years. But I am not crying because I feel weak. It's just that when I remember those two years ..."
Me : (Knowing that its no use sympathising with him) "How is he now ?"
N : "He is ok now. You know why I came into engineering ? Somebody told my father that I would become no one .. a failiure. I decided that day ... and so I left that course mid-way. These tears only make me more determined." (Long Pause) "And people ask me why do I keep so alone .."

You know you had to be there to realize the magnitude of pain flowing through the surrounding space. Even I felt like crying ..

DOS is a really nice thing. It may be fucking old ... but at least it has the sense to leave you alone and not ask you many questions ... or be very intelligent like the windows and try to intervene in everything that a sane person wants to do on his computer. They made nice things back then.
Then Windows happened.

Just Another Post

I have come to a conclusion. Blogs .. like people, have a life. They live , they attain glory , and they die. Some live forever , some can barely make it past one post , but they all have a definite life span.
People who start with blogs have loads of ideas when they start. Then they start visiting other blogs .. and then the comments. They present their thoughts .. and sculpt another personality virtually. They begin enjoying it .. and then it seems really fine. But after sometime ... they go blank. Suddenly it becomes a burden to write anything else. Or their virtual Personality starts to look really virtual .. far away from reality. Some people then just leave their blogs , others take a long break ... and others kill their blogs.
And it is not about them only ... I have thought about this so many times myself. I have thought about killing my blog so many times ... but I have come to depend on it so much. Maybe .. one day I may be able to leave blogging ... I definitely have been blank for some time now.
Three people whose blog I used to read often , pulled the plug off their blog recently. Maybe they'd get back some day. Maybe they won't.
I don't know where I am heading with writing all of this .. but it is kinda sad you know .... like when a long time freind departs.
Anyways ... things move on ... always did.

Not bored anymore

I didn't get bored these past three days. Not even once.
Went to Ambala to meet some cousins , and then went off to Shimla from there. It was raining all the way .. and it was raining in Shimla too. We could only get one evening out on the mall road ... rest was spent in the hotel room. The rains just didn't stop. So we returned in a day. But it was nice. Boozed again. This cousin of mine got a Johnny Walker Red Label. The night was spent emptying the bottle. Finally we did.
There was this cousin who started crying after having lots of drink (how I hate people doing it). Then there was this other cousin from Delhi , who drank a trifle too much , and got embarassed when her head reeled under a bacardi. But it was real fun. We sat there talking about everything from what is wrong in India to bitching about people and all. Drunken talk mainly.
Hills become really beautiful in the rains. Loved it there. But it is good to be back in Delhi.
Couldn't check the blogs there .. those people used IE that stores all the adresses by default .. and I didn't want them to see this blog. Ofcourse I could have deleted that list .. but it was their comp .. and they used that list .. so I couldn't. Anyways ... now I am back.
Umm.. what else ? Had planned a big post this time ... but now I can't remember a thing I had intended to write.
Ya .. I read this book called Eragon. On Dragons and all. Awsome book ... just can't wait for the second part. Now I am reading a JHC (It is called : Do me a favour , Drop Dead). Picked this one because this one was the only one without a raunchy photograph on its cover.
Umm...
Nothing else to post about. Over and out.
