Hmmmmmm

Was just reading the previous post, and realised the first para was pretty stupid. Oh well, I'm not complaining, that's probably the most inspired writing I've done since Obama became President! Not exactly inspired, flowy is more like it. By the way, the title of the last post was because of this app on Facebook where people put up quizzes about themselves and have their friends answer it. I had put up an absurd quiz just for fun and obviously people didn't do very well in that one. Then I put up the real quiz, and still they didn't do well. Some of them even did worse! I thought you read my blog, they were all right out of these pages. Whatever. Enough about that now.

Listening to Jagjit Singh ghazals. There's a certain serenity associated with them which just soothes me. I remember gifting my dad a best of collection for his birthday. He loved it, still does. There would be some quiet evenings, where none of us had anything to do (mostly weekends) after having lazed about the whole day, dad would put both the cassettes in the music player and it would just keep playing over and over in the background, and having nothing better to do, I listened to them. The lyrics are just beautiful, there's no other way of describing them, and his voice is oh my god! The use of language is just mind-blowing (pretty difficult to decipher in some cases, hardcore urdu, but beautiful nonetheless), especially the metaphors and the irony. You should really try them sometime. If you do decide to, I would recommend the compilation titled 'A Journey', has some of his best.

Have a subscription to this site which sends you comics everyday via email. Got a nice one today, it's called Rabbits Against Magic:

Two rabbits are sitting in a bar having a drink.

Loser Rabbit: "If you want to look on the positive side, you could say that disappointments are a way for making more room for hope."

Both of them take another swig of their drink.

Other Rabbit: "You might wanna consider renting out some of yours."

I want to watch Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! The last movie rocked despite the average literature they had to work with. This one wasn't much better, so I have my expectations. I stopped looking for the bookish elements in the movies a long time back, since it only leads to disappointment. I would rather enjoy the movie for what it is and cherish whatever is left of the legacy (just one more movie to go, what after that!! Please someone make a crappy TV series or something). It's got a pretty good rating on RT, so I have my fingers crossed.

Feel like posting an image but can't think of anything to search for. Couldn't find anything on Flickr under 'bored'. Here's what I think I'll do. I'm going to post a link to one of my older posts which I think is worth reading again, and in case you had missed it earlier, it's your lucky day.

This is a nice one: Till the end of food.., enjoy!

P.S. - I had always wanted to keep my blog strictly for proper writing. You know, complete sentences, no SMS lingo (which I still don't use), proper punctuations, oh hell it's the OCD OK! If you have noticed (of course you haven't), that I used to follow those rules till a while back. Then I said to myself that there's no point in doing all that. I got rid of the complete sentences thingy, and a few others too (can't list them), but just don't like untidy stuff. Yes, I know, OCD is a medical condition, thank you very much.

High: Didn't get drenched while coming back from the office. And the comic maybe.

**Update**: Don't know how I forgot about this. Just watched "Up", the latest animation flick from Pixar. Really nice, heartwarming and obviously funny. 4 stars.

Low: Ordered the wrong chicken (Kadai instead of Tikka Masala) for dinner.

Points: -100 to lazy roomie who didn't want to go out to this nice resto bar we heard about. It's been ages since I ate at properly (ahem) at a nice place.

+1 to Nandu to shut her up about the points. There, happy now? >:D
