Movies in Pheonix....

So I have been laid back for the the past few days...

I was at a friend's in Phoenix, Arizona. It's a nice place. In the middle of the dessert...:p (i wish...)

Anyway, so having nothing much to do than to wander around a bit, we decided to watch some movies...

I manage to watch like 10+ movies in 3 days...

For those interested....

1)Dil Chahta Hai....once again...I had watched like 4 times in 2 days the last time I was in US...:p

2)Kya Cool Hain Hum.... not that cool...

3)Hazaron Khwahishen Aisi.... really brilliant movie...

4)Meenaxi...great music...but not for the non-Lit ppl here....

5)American Born Confused Desi..... there are some really confused ppl here

6)American Chai....OK I guess...But I am not a big fan of tea...

7)Flavours.... Really great ABCD movie...

8)Mein, Meri Bewi, or Woh... Another nice movie... very subtle but makes a lot of impact...

9)Bollywood Hollywood... kinda melodramatic... Not as funny as expected...

10)... Dun remember the rest...


So now.. back to LA....and then to LV...:P:P:P

Merry Christmas.....

Merry Christmas..... To all of you!!!

No time 2 blog now.... Updates coming soon...

Of Looong flights and laid back holidays.....

OK. So after a reallly long and boring flight I am finally here.
The movies were crappy, the screen resolution absolutely sucked.
They took out most of the cool games from the games selection.
The food was OK, but 3 meals in 16hrs is too much, esp. if all you do is to sit and/or sleep.

I remember I had once(when I was like 5-6) wowed vowed that I would never travel to US, unless there was a faster way to go there. Sigh....I should keep more promises.....

Anyway, so at LA, I had like a 7hrs wait for the next flight. That was long, boring and at the end the flight was delayed...&*^@#%^&

I was sleep, bored, hungry and desperatly trying to keep awake. So I decided to indulge in a large cup of pure all-American capitalism....:P:P

I live off Caffine...

OK. So I was really bored.

The nice thing though was when I saw this.



Tech to the rescue

The wonders of technology. Not that its anything new, but I felt the power of technology when I realised that I was in touch with anyone and everyone I knew through this peice of tech... Amazing isn't it? Just bring it there and it works!! Seems pretty simple at first, but then when u think of all the mechanisms that have to work for this to happen, it just great.

Long live technology....

More updates from a very laid back trip to Pheonix soon.....

Holidays......Boon or Bane????

I never figure out whether I like holidays or hate them!!

I mean its all nice to be free and stuff, but its soooo boring. I mean you do all the standard holiday activities for like a week or two...and then what??? Holidays are boring....

Whats worst is this holidays that I am havings. It's not boring but it is driving me crazy. For once, I have planned a trip to go overseas during the holidays with my family. Now, this will drive some people crazy with jealousy, but I am not feeling anything closed to satisfaction or content or for that matter happiness.

On the other hand I am feeling very conscious of the fact that I am leaving my undone FYP behind to 'waste time'. There is a lot of work to be done and there are important deadlines in January. Sigh....

But I can't cancel the trip because its gonna be wonderful(I get to meet many cousins, aunts and uncles and old friends) and also cos I have already paid for it....

Now, I wish that the holidays ceased to exit and we could work all year round...

OK. Blast me all you want, but this is how I feel......

Piya tora kaisa abhimaan

Piya tora kaisa abhimaan,

Sagan saawan laayi, kadam bahaar,
Mathura se doli laaye, chaaron kahaar

Nahi aaaye, Nahi aaaye
Kesariyaa balamaa hamaar
Angana badaa sun saan

Piya tora kaisa abhimaan

Apne nayan se, neer bahaaye
Apnee jamuna khud, aap hi banaave
Laakh baar usme hi nahaye
Poora na hoyi asnaan
Sookhe kes, rookhe bhes
Manwaa bejaan

Piya tora kaisa abhimaan

Bol sakhi kaahe kari saajo singaar
Na pahinaba ab sanaa kaanchana haar
Khali chandan lagaao angmaa hamaar
Chandan garala samaan....

-Rituparno Ghosh, 'Raincoat'
