Delhi Belly and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

This is yet another one of my small attempts to return to the blogging world after my engagement which was one 3rd July. Actually, unlike a few I am not online as I am writing this post. I am drafting this on my Dell Inspiron offline as my internet connection is wired to my desktop.

I dunno why I don’t feel like writing a post when I am online. I always browse a lot searching for some good stuff to read or watch. To me, writing is mainly a result of culmination of thoughts which have been going in my mind for some time or some incident which would have made me ponder a lot. The attempt to write a post is the result of me watching two movies in the last three weeks.

Delhi Belly: This movie had released on the Friday just after before my engagement. I did not expect this movie to do so well with the audiences, especially the Indian youth. To me, this movie helped a lot in knowing more about my fiancee and understanding her. I got mixed opinions about taking her along or not. Some said no as it was a bold adult comedy film with slang language and implicit and suggestive scenes. Some said its ok as today girls are very open minded. I was in a dilemma and as usual went wit my gut feeling and took her to the movie as I wanted to watch it badly after hearing its good reviews. Luckily, aal izz well as we both enjoyed the movie very much. The movie was a complete laugh riot due to its hilarious sit com scenes  and the goofy characters. The dialogues made us go back to our college days. It’s a movie about what can happen when everything seems to go wrong and yet you still end up laughing.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara: Saw this movie yesterday with my fiancee. This movie is about three friends who go on road trip through the beautiful landscapes of Spain as a part of the bachelor party for one of them who got recently engaged. The film shows their experiences as they go on which turn out which turn out to be life changing for them. I liked the dialogues which are filled with slapstick humour, the music and the songs which are beautifully penned down and meaningful. It speaks about seizing the moment and living to the fullest. The beautiful songs are what which have got me to try my hand at writing again. Hope this time it stays on.

Well, these posts were in my draft status in my Windows Live Writer until I connected the internet and posted them to my blog, thanks to my lazy bum and windows 7. Now, I can lazily write my posts when I m in the mood and later post them with back date…again thanks to windows 7. Till then, cheerio.

Inspired by Dell

It was when my father planned on going to Dubai, I had given him a wishlist of things to get from Dubai. Most important things were a Sony 36” LCD TV, Dell Laptop and 2 scotch whiskey bottles.

The poor guy got all of these stuff without any hassles and also got some chocolates, an Ipod touch (much to my surprise) and some dates, dry fruits,etc.

Let me tell you about my Dell Laptop which is an Inspiron 15 R. It has a Intel Core I5 processor with a speed of 2.67 Ghz, RAM of 4.00 GB (3.87 GB usable) and 500 GB Hard Disk Memory. It has twin SRS speakers which is fairly decent and a 15” display monitor for best viewing.

However, the best part is its OS which is Windows 7 Home premium with 64 bit processing speed. It has lot of features which you can use to personalise your computer to optimise your usability. I read about it a  lot on the Microsoft website and started experimenting with it. I downloaded and installed Windows Live essential kit which has a Writer, Messenger and Email client. Right now I am using Writer for drafting this post which would be posted on my blog soon.

The only difficulty I am facing while using this laptop is its keyboard which I am trying to get used to. Thankfully, it has got a num key pad along with normal number keys.

I have a lot to work on my laptop like installing Microsoft Office, download movies, music and start using it more than my desktop. To make it literally a laptop, I have to first get a wireless router to enable my modem internet connection and make it into a wireless one so that I can access the Net without having to stick to my desk.

Well, I think I have written much after a long break and hope to put some serious stuff on my blog soon.

Heartbreak Valentine

Never had I seen a girl like her,
Innocent Eyes, beautiful smile and curly hair,
My heart skipped a beat when she smiled at me first,
My emotions churned inside like never before,
I realised that this was the girl I was waiting for.

My heartbeat grew stronger for her,
I wanted to just see her and be with her,
Before I knew it, I was deeply in love with her.

One fine day she spoke about her boyfriend,
My heart broke so loud that you could hear the cracking,
The sky fell upon me, the room started spinning,
My life seemed to go nowhere, I had met a dead end.

What followed was pure heartache,
The pain was too much to take,
I felt like I had hit rockbottom,
I thought I would break down.

They say, we need to learn from the past,
cuz this is not the first time and not the last,
There is only one remedy for the pain,
You gotta just start it all over again.

Emotions of a Logical Mind

Sometimes it so happens that all life incidents happen at a time and so fast that your life all of a sudden seems so hectic like never before. Your mind is in constant overdrive and if you are not used to it, you tend to push the panic button sooner than expected.

Earlier than these times, life was so slow, dull & boring such that you wished for something kick-ass to happen in your life. You wish that you could be in the fast lane like others. You would have all the time to while away and sometimes also kill. But, never would you have imagined that you could have used it to the best. But, it was not meant to happen, but you had the option to change it.

Sometimes you feel that it was in your destiny to undergo through what you have been through. But seldom, destiny has and always presented us an opportunity to choose for ourselves. But more than often, we let go of such chances and let destiny take its own course only to find us later cursing it.

Then we keep asking ourselves why did this happen to me and so on? Well, this happened because we failed to choose and act. But why did we fail to choose and act? Another tricky and important question. Was it destiny again? No.

We failed because our mind is always under a certain set of presumptions and beliefs. We always wanted to see or hear what we like instead of accepting the hard facts as they are. We always crave for the Feel Good factor (which are being used very well by the marketing and advertising firms). So we do not accept anything which do not conform to our beliefs or are not as per our likes.

But dislike for anything does not take away its existence or reality. So its presence always upsets us and we feel unhappy thinking about it.

However hard we try, human emotions always take over logic, sooner or later. And our emotions are never constant and are greatly influenced by our environment. If we try to and be receptive about everything around us and acknowledge its presence, it would be much easier for us to reduce our worries and live life to its fullest.

Return of the Story Teller

Days of the Writer's Bloc are over,
Its the Return of the Story Teller.
My heart's not mine anymore,
My mind's not in place anymore.

I am going through changes,
They say its just the beginning,
There's lot more to come,
And it's more pain than anything.

I am trying to play it down,
It only comes back harder and stronger.
It seems there is little I can do about it,
But to let it happen and go through it.

But hey, life is always about choices
You can take it as just another heartache,
Or you can take it as the Best Thing
and just sit back and enjoy the Joy Ride.
