Bad timing

There's bad timing
And there's sheer good luck

Guy@Work walks up to my desk with another colleague

G@W : "So Hows it?!"
Me (tears himself from comp monitor and says without thinking) : "Hows what?"
G@W (Stares meaningfully at me for a while and says) : "Life!"
Both start guffawing like an annoying oafs

See he dudn know that the chemicals inside my brain were mixing up to form a particularly nasty concoction and his words were the right catalyst to make a formula called raiiiiiiiiigeah!

Sheer good luck and the absence of a shovel has saved G@W from a rather misfigured piehole, you know what I'm sayin?

Extremes

At dinner I had the privilege of experiencing the best of tollywood!

One Chiranjeevi movie name unknown other language actors galore

That which caught my attention was the following sequence :

Villain is staunch villain bent upon avenging his father's death caused by our own heroh chiranjeevi baabu...But lo behold! Chiranjeevi had to go and save villain's small kid from a super big raging lorry! As usual the kid is dumb enuf to sit there crying or staring at the road and the lorry driver notices the lump on the road (the kid) only at the last minute...

No no thats not what i wanna comment on! After chiranj saves the kid and the villain learns about it, in order not to stay in chiranj's debt, the villain takes a sword and ends the stupid kid's life...Temporary grace of life from God expired...Raam naam satya hai!

On the other hand I am watching also, a series called Prison Break which shows the rather rough side of things in a typical State prison. In the US. I advice anybody who reads this blog and who likes thrillers/drama series to go watch it.

A fickle mind

Rain

So Tuesday you see, She had to be free!
- Tuesday's gone, Metallica

So I drove for 1 hour 45 minutes in relentless rain...eneega?!

If you have a jacket to completely cover your upper body and enjoy bigger vehicles bossing over you by splashing ur profile with muddy rain water ( :D ), you'd be ok with eet too i think...

And we have a rare selection of artisans who've mastered their trade in the field of music! Ranging from Pink Floyd to Velvet Revolver, we carry psychedelic rock, metal, hindi blues, rock and dancie wancie music too!! (ipod)

(The last wancie geencie crap kinda took the gloss off the prev statement...che at self)

If people wanna mistake slow driving with cautious driving, it is their inanity! I will "discover" (hee hee) new routes in congested traffic and get home quicker than them pa! :P

Some rain water has surely seeped into my brain, what?!

Tamizh songs!

Pudhu kalyaana chelaiyile (en) kanneera thodachikkittu poaravale... :(

Parking ticket

Was unaware of this practice being implemented here in Namma Bengalooru...

Alfredo James Pacino

Well well well...What a show!

The 35th AFI Lifetime Achievement Award show was quite special...It dealt with a rather iconic figure in Hollywood, one whom I've come to adore in all his roles...

What an honour to have such a versatile and varied bunch of ppl come on stage and applaud you! Some were forced, some felt it genuinely...But they all said things that were true and that which mattered...

From Robin Williams' brilliant humor to Sean Penn's heart-warming speech, we had it all. But I think that which made me go 'ahh!' was uttered in a clownish tribute by Jamie Foxx :

"When God made you, He took his time...After that, He took a 30 minute break...He then came back and said 'That's a good one!' "

Hooah!!!

Love Unravelled (The conclusion)

A small series this has become, about love, on my blog...And what better way to end it, but by quoting anthropologist Helen Fisher :

"I don't think honestly that we're an animal that was built to be happy...We're an animal that was built to reproduce...Whatever happiness we find, we make..."


Many thanks to Kiran for posting that link in the comments section of my previous post :)

Love (Contd)

Its a sin to love in this world...

Its a sin to dream of a future in this world... My uncertainty to generalize has now officially made way to a languish cynicism...

Its like an unseen, cruel entity is sitting somewhere as you suffer, holding your neck, rubbing ur nose in the dirt and saying "Eat mud" and laughing sadistically at you...While you suffer silently, under the power of that "entity", helpless, suffocated, with only the pride and the doubt, lingering ur head, of being right...Yes, the pride and doubt simultaneously...

Take this space to mourn all of 'em...My respect to you, cos you have shown great strength...Somehow find it in you to keep going on...Onto greener pastures maybe...

But you only want the ones, that you cant get.........

- Desperado, by The Eagles

Love

Love love love everywhere I see...Discussions at work, Couples in malls..
And Television and cinema...So in ur face! phew!

Here's a small, paradoxical poem dedicated to them...Sorry, only for those who understand and are willing to understand kannada...

premi avala kaanade iralu, preeti novu tande tahudu, prema roga bande bahudu
prema roga bidade baralu, premi edeya sudade iradu, suduva edege premave maddu!

Hallelujah

The first string of my guitar was broken as I took it out of my bag

There was something very sorrowful in that...Even though I knew that all I had to do was go get it restrung... It still responded beautifully with just its 5 strings, as I touched it and maneuvered it...

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah.....

Grrr

Mood : Disgusted

I hate the concept of a woman "coming in between" two men... My blood boils and I want to break something...Let me be clear that I mainly blame the party involved who strays (man or woman)

Between friends who are close, between blood related brothers too! Aah all my emotional power expressed as rage and loathing...I hate it with all my will

The movie "legends of the fall" delineated something like that...My mercury rose...The movie ahead might be good, but this sequence....

If I liked a woman and she liked my friend and my friend liked her too, I am man enough(yes I would consciously like to use the unjustified and cliched phrase here) and have the guts and the strength to bow out

Also not go and like another woman who is already taken...Against my code...Horrible act...

And painfully finally, SHUT THE FUCK UP if I eventually strongly like a woman who is not taken but doesn't like me...

Thanks to Girish for reminding me the unisexual nature of this topic... i,e. guy getting in between two women or guy straying from a relationship also :)

Of serendipity and pig tails!

Before :

Lotsa ppl wishin n hopin for a good outcome, including candid requests to the Maker like :

"may lord fill sense n purposefullness in u"
Probably hinting at a lack of either/both in me.... :chuckle

On the day, things to do:

"Just take ur admission ticket and passport"
"Don't worry"

As I read this, point 2 made me worry a bit....

After:

I received various interpretations of/responses to my efforts; efforts aided by serendipity.

One of them included this very nice phrase : "Stop sulking like a lil girl with pigtails!"

Hair not long enough yet I think

My wake up call

I was staring at the roof, lying on my bed...

As usual...Sleep eludes me...The more angles the hour hand covers, the farther i am from sleep...

11.30 pm already... Or it was so last when I checked...

Tomorrow is ....

Just numbers and words... How simple yet taxing and profound...

And then it happened ... my wake up call!

Some sadistic dillholes (to be read dumb ass) thought it pertinent to burst some annoyingly long(enuf) lasting crackers a coupla streets away... The pure silence of the night violated, their arcane cause vindicated (I heard some chanting after 3 well separated, well timed "dhat fata fit fat dhat dhat dhat ftuss fffat! dhat dhat ......... dhat dhat" s )

Ah Yes... on the subject of unwanted alarm services....
