Running down friends and ducking responsibility is exercise for some people.

Mom-Dad's Srinagar trip turned sour yesterday, a massive bomb-blast took place near their hotel, that broke window glasses of their room. So we asked them to come back; they went there on tuesday noon and came back by wednesday evening.
BTW, on the way to airport mom managed to do some shopping :-) , some ladies suits and bedsheets, yes bedsheets :-))

Lately I've started to feel very very restless, and also have seem to stretch my depressin phases for longer time unlike lately when I used to have extreme mood swings..hitting rock bottom one moment and reaching the sky next moment.
Something is happening to me, dunno right or wrong. I feel out of place all the time.

Mann Yeh bhavraa (of HKA)...has some sort resemblance with Kahoon Kaise Sakhi(of Yahaan).....dunno wat!!!

hmmm....life was sooo simple and uncomplicated in those days.
And TV was a beautiful medium of entertainment,and serials actually had some-story.
..and now some Ekta Kapoor has destroyed everything.

Happy Monday!

Had some real good time yesterday after sooooooo long;
well, right from Sunday night weather was too good, and on reaching office Monday found that my dear boss will come to work in second half, so suddenly an absolutely brilliant idea struck in my mind, and I left office at 2 ;-)
Reached home early, watched Paheli 5:25 ka show, enjoyed the movie. (Paheli is good movie, absolute visual treat, only SRK can do justice to such movies, can't imagine anyone else portraying his characters. Rani is predictable but a must watch for SRK fans. I must say it was a difficult film to make, difficult emotions to portray but still Amol Palekar n team managed well, Aditi Gowatrikar was absolute smashing in her short very short appearance. )

After movie headed straight to Bercos (though my head is not good terms with Chinese stuff specially shrimps), had absolute delicious food. Then purchased two VCDs, Hazaraaon Khwaahishey Aisi and Cast Away.
Reached home at 10, then watched HKA, HKA is a restless and also a good movie, it is set in political mayhem of late 60s and 70s, I won't say that it is a classic, this movie caters to a very very slim segment of audience , I'm afraid I do not belong to that.

In short, had a fabulous Monday :-)

*****************

It rained almost through out night and also raining with varying pace since morning, and in my 42 km drive from home to work, I witnessed 3 accidents, and in each case two-wheeler rider suffered :-( , my opinion Govt MUST start a unit for making good quality helmets and makes a law that one has to wear Govt-made helmets and one has to buy two Govt-made helmets at the time of purchasing a two-wheeler.
And there should be a complete ban on poor quality helmets.

Drive cautiously!!

"Kajra rey kajra rey..tere kaare kaare naina......",every now n then this song is aired on FMs......and I'm sure in coming time this song will become a rage among ......50-50's. ;-)

My wife says .....

I don't listen to her or something like that.....

Weekend TV

Federer almost toyed with Roddick, though I knew Federer will win but I'm disappointed by Roddick's attitude on the court, I think he lost the match in his head long before he stepped on the court.

Still, Federer is the best, if not the greatest.
I loved the semis more specially Roddick-Thomas Johansson one, and I favoured Tommy, for becoming first Swede since (my all time favourite) Edberg to reach Wimbledon semis, and also coz' he uses exactly same racket as mine.
Ladies final, the longest in The Championships' history, was much more gripping and was played with visible intensity, though world no#1 Davenport lost but I still feel she is the best player around, her down-the-line shots are unmatched. She is full of determination n grit under her dreamy/detached demeanor.

And also our own Bhupathi along with a-very-fit Mary Pierce won the mixed doubles with ease, it always feels great to see any of these Lee or Hesh winning, even if not together.

England deserved to win the Natwest trophy no matter what, even when 35 were required off 29 balls and Gough-Giles in middle, I was pretty confident abt a famous English win, Gough-Giles played perfectly to the script before McGrath spoiled the party, anyways with this 'tied' match, now one thing is confirmed, Aussies are no longer the undisputed champs.

And full marks to Geraint Jones, he totally justified his selection over Chris Read. In all this tournament belonged to Symonds and Collingwood, these two guys are just brilliant in all aspects of game, and India needs exactly someone like them.

Well, this weekend my blog turned 1.
I never thought I'll be able to post 'posts' for full one year....and now after 105 posts I'm far from being bored from blogging; I started with daily diary type entries and dunno when they become interactive :-)
In other words, I completed one of year of blog hopping and enjoyed each and every minute spent in blogsville.

It was my dad's 60th b'day on sunday, no we guys don't celebrate as such, nor we did anything special, infact I don't talk too much with dad or with anyone else (wifey included) and most of the time when we talk either of us end up irritated, and now sometimes I answer him back, I hateeeeee myself for that. I promise, won't do that again, will keep my mouth SHUT no matter what. I feel guilty for lot many things/ for not doing lot many things, unlike my brothers and sister I'm yet to do anything 'special' to make him proud of me, and trouble is that I know what will make him happy and proud, and that makes my relationship with him bit more complicated, and I end up more frustrated with myself......bas bahut ho gaya...I’m not supposed to be emotional here :-)
