food and sleep

It is never good to begin the week on a sleepy note. But there are times when monday afternoon feels very sleepy. Well, blame it on the weekend then.
It is not very easy to follow some rules that I have set for myself.
Things like ordering maggi and sandwich in office, only once a week. This rule is to serve the dual purpose of saving money and not gaining weight. Mind you, I do eat enough and these items mentioned only give mental satisfaction as it is more of a psychological hunger. The other rule is to drink less aerated drinks. And drink fruit juice more frequently.

good.... good... no no... no more ...good.

I know the title does not make sense....but still it is a title...
It was nice to meet her after a week, uhhh.. I mean to meet at last is nice, not meeting is not nice.
But she has exams so, .....
Dust storms, thunder storms, etc have visited our city, but thankfully ferocity has been low, so no need to worry.
Arsenal nearly lost against Sunderland because of wrong formation and tactics. A 1-1 draw just hides the fact that we could have lost.
Movie of the week would be ...actually there are two...
Fantastic 4 and Silver Surfer == very good compared to first one
Holiday == a very good movie
Well, those were the movie's of the week, with no cash, it is hard for me to go and see movie's in multiplexes, so (HBO, star movies, Pix, Zee studio) are my best pals.
Got my PC monitor's sparks problem fixed for 900 rupees,,, hmm... doesn't sound cheap....
The last week saw me work late in office due to some critical work, and...well .. nothing else is springing to my mind right now..so I will just sign off...

A quickie...again

Arsenal FC wins a game, its not given much importance by media. It is only when they lose that, Arsenal are shown to be in serious trouble. Now they are saying the defense is lacking, but Arsenal is known for its attacking play, so why expect too much from a attack-minded defense. I am not defending Arsenal's poor performance against Hull, my problem is that the blame should lie on lack of goals. Just look at how Arsenal played when they were goal down and scored two goals, complete blitzkrieg kind of attack. Thats is how Arsenal should be playing, score goals more than your opposition and win matches.

Working on new project is really cool, because since last two years I have worked only on one big project, and now in third year I have worked on three different but small projects.

I completely forgot to write review of the hindi horror flick, 1920. Though this movie is not entirely original, whatever is shown is pretty engrossing. You will enjoy it if you like horror movies, even though the movie picks up speed only after the first half. Still it is not like Phoonk, it has all thrills and chills usually associated with horror movies.

Rise of the machines


These machines have the gargantum task of cleaning up mumbai city

Gone

So its gone, the long hair/french beard look is gone.
After chopping off my hair, even my face has seen a clean shave for the first time.
So from RockStar looks, now I sport a pop-boy-band look of short hair and clean shave.
OK, enough of vanity talk.
I am aching for a bike trip, don't know where, she suggested pune, but the plan has got bunked.
Still JP's plan of ride to Mahabaleshwar is still on, so I am optimistic.
My cellphone is a year old now, which is good,
and mahendra is planning to buy a new cellphone, and I am more excited than he is,
because then I have a chance to compare different phones, their reviews, etc, etc.
Sound of sparks have started to come out of the monitor of my Home PC which means no more playing football manager
and no more surfing the net from home.
Oh! Fridays! always eager for them to get over, so that the weekend can begin.
I was planning to wake up late this Saturday, but I have a stupid early morning medical test scheduled by an insurance company,
which requires 12 hours of fasting, HHHEEELLLLLL!!!

Back with motivation

She updates her blog regularly, so even I am inspired to update my blog.
But its hard to think of any worthwhile reading material to put here.
Still I can't hide my delight at Arsenal's young team winning in Carling Cup match against Sheffield Utd.
Makes you understand why Arsene Wenger didn't buy players during the transfer window opportunity.
A great job done by everyone at Arsenal.
And even my job is fine, by dabbling in technologies like joomla(php, mysql, and apache) my knowledge is going to swell
and my resume will look less empty.
The rains are playing hide and seek. Since last two days it hasn't rained and before that it had been raining inconsistently.
So inconsistent rains meant I was able to ride my bike to work, which is a great way to save time, and anyways I love riding bikes.
Two of my friends are planning to buy bikes, and both guy's buying plans include two cool Yamaha bikes, R-15 and FZ-16, now isn't

that cool?
Lots of trips have happened since last post. Here is a list of the trips, my laziness prohibited me from posting anything about these

trips.
August 1st week=Matheran(Birthday Week)
August 2nd week=Alibaug Beach
August 3rd week=Kolhapur, Amboli
September 2nd week=Ganpatipule
JP's brother has invited all of us on a bike ride to mahabaleshwar, lets see how this can be accomplished.
Yeah, I have shifted to a new house, where I have my own room, which is nice.

To cut a long story short

So many things have happened that I have no idea from where to begin.
As I scratch my head, trying to put some good content here.
It brings back memories of my long hair(shoulder length).
I bid farewell to my hair on 3rd September 2008, it was becoming painfully messy to manage long hair.
Not only did I have waste time in washing, brushing and all those things. I could not wear helmet easily.
And long hair when wet don't dry easily, which made me sneeze on a cold morning.
Still I persisted for more than 8 months, because I wanted to experience long hair once in my lifetime.
And I have done that. Even She agrees that short hair look better something my sister also agrees with.
So now I sport a very short cut. Its very good, now need to waste time in washing hair, just two flat minutes.
No more hair coming on my face, etc, etc.
Still once in a while miss the long hair!!

Movie Lover......but very lazy/busy

I love movies.
I love many movies....action to sci-fi...horror to thriller.....comedies to romantics....epics to spoofs...
I love english movies...enjoy most hindi/marathi movies(prefer oldies)
For me cinema is love...it has no boundaries..language is never used as a basis to judge cinema....be it hindi or english.....I love them all....because there have been bad hindi/marathi movies and bad english movies....


special mentions.....
no time for review of dark knight.....
its been a long time since I saw it....saw it 1st day 3rd show... he he he..after my MCA exam...
An amazingly brilliant movie....heath's dark portrayal is exquisite while bale's silent guardian act as batman was enthralling...and harvey two face was enigmatic....

“When I fell in love”

People say when they fell in love they felt this and that, I have no qualms with that, but is that the only love that can make somebody happy. Why is that many times, people say, there is no love in their life. When all that they are saying is that they don’t have a marriage culminating relationship. Why is the word “love” specialized, when it can be easily generalized? If love is generalized, you will be happier. If you include, everything into love, your outlook towards life would change for good. If I am walking in circles, I will let you know what exactly is on my mind. Let’s take my example. I am not much good at showing my love in spoken words. But I love my family. And this love bubbles up, when they are proud of my job which is two years old. And their love is shown by their sacrifices and putting up with my careless and stupid behavior. That is love, love which exists in spite of the fact that I don’t agree with most of their thoughts. Same goes for my super-sister, we argue with fire, but love and care shines through as we never remember the fights we had, we just put it behind. Then there are friends who too have to put up with my non-sense and still there is love. My absence means many plans get cancelled. Tell them to help me out and they do it without complaint. Such is the bond, that its strength is intact in presence of varied backgrounds/personalities and quirks which define us. We stick together by a common glue of love. Love is like pickle/wine, something which tastes better as it gets older. How can I forget my love for my job, loving the work I do everyday at office, the challenge, responsibilities and pressure I love it all. And running in close is my love for traveling/roaming/riding my bike. Love for cinema in general, and being a lover of music. But this doesn’t mean my life is a bed of roses, with no thorns in it. There are times when it’s hard to smile. There are times when the ability of my eyes to hold back tears is tested. In such times, there are lovely memories come by to dry up any trace of tears. And in such times, it is extremely criminal to think that there is no love in my life because of absence of marriage culminating relationship. But then if it does happen, I am all ready for a new chapter in my life. Well I don’t know if I was on target or I am still not making any sense. But the situation is that my pen is just gliding on this paper as my brain tries to concretize my thoughts. To sum up my motto of my life – Keep doing the job you are here to do. Look at the bright side of any bad/sad thing and cherish the sweet memories. And lastly the only thing that remains to be answered is does a love relationship be considered worthy of compromises/complications. A mystery indeed.
