No sign of chocolates or flowers or stuffed toys or pink or anything remotely close to reminding me about what today is supposed to be famous for. It was just another ordinary Sunday. No gifts to be bought, no lunch dates to attend, no women to please, just a bunch of single guys hanging out together. All in all, not that bad a day. (Kritz did ask me to be her valentine, which I gratefully accepted, but she was caught up in homework and midterms so I guess she didn't mind me not taking her out (I'll make it upto you darling, I promise). Technically, it counts as not being single :P)
Saw "My name is Khan" today and for the life of me can't fathom the reason, apart from big money, for people giving it such exceptionally high ratings. The first half was nothing short of torture to me. Karan Johar tries to make a grown-up flick but can't resist doing what he does best in the first half - corny, cheesy and mushy to the point of making me want to scream inside a packed cinema hall. The acting was good, I know the autism thing is a sensitive topic, but seriously it felt like SRK was a bit over the top in places. Nothing unusual about that now, is there. It picked up in the second half and thankfully did not dip throughout. I couldn't find anything to cry about though, I'd heard people have cried a lot (I do occasionally shed a tear or two while watching really good movies). My favorite part is when he goes to the mosque and stops the evil doctor from brainwashing innocent young minds. That was brilliant, how such a big misconception can be resolved by even the simplest of minds. In conclusion, it was the Bollywood version of Forrest Gump, could've been better though. And thank you KJo for not putting in any song and dance routines, must have been tough to control the urge with both SRK and Kajol in the same frame (can forgive you for the wedding one, force of habit we know). For the record, "My name is Sid, and I did not like MNIK that much".
Was supposed to post this last night but fell asleep. Just got off a bus to the office after my daily dose of (physio)therapy. 15 minute walk to my cabin in the scorching heat, soaked in sweat, tired and sleepy already. It's going to be a long day.
It was a long day. Didn't do much either. I think the medicine I'm taking is sleep inducing or it could just be the boring slides I was supposed to study or just the usual post-lunch drowsiness. On my way home now, in a bus which feels like it'll break into two halves on the next speedbreaker. It was rattling like a bird-cage and shaking so much that I couldn't even type.
Back home now, just as I was about to log on, guess what? Have to wait another hour or so now to just publish this! Hmph!
High: Dinner. Proper roadside van style noodles in the food court. Reminded me of home.
Low: The rest of the day, except for a 30 second phone conversation.
Points: XOXOX points to Kritz. Miss you!
