Boring Start & Happy Ending

Yesterday was one fine day where in i was clueless on what to do. My sleeping hours have come down and got up by 10 AM. Since it was too hot outside i had no choice. So i was;

  • I did self Oil Massage to bring down body heat…
  • Then Learned how to do Pedicure from my sister…
  • Finally was watching some Tamil dubbed english movie…

Then it was 3 PM and got a call from Kavi and he asked me to pick him. With no thinking i started and picked him from his office. As usual we had no clue on what to do. I started driving through ECR and after getting the toll we decided to goto Mahabalipuram have Dinner at Moon Rackers and then watch a movie at Mayajaal and return back.

In-between we had some delicious Tadgola to cool our body during a hot day.

While driving we came across a Banner Off Road ECR before Mahabalipuram. It is here we waited for an hour to get a chance to ride this Bike which lasted for 2 min. Then while returning my car got struck on the mud and we had to get the assistance from the people working on there to rescue us.

By this time we were drenched with sweat and we drove to Mahabs and we had good dinner at Moon Rackers and returned. We didn’t have any new movies to watch at Mayajaal and we came to city and gave a try at PVR cinemas and again no luck.

Then we went to Freeze Zone to have some Kulfis. The place was too crowded and it took us 20 min to get a Kulfi. We entered the place by 10.30 PM and came out by 11.15PM…

Then i dropped Kavi at his office and returned. Finally i ended the day with a Happy note.

Yet another speech from Chetan Bhagat

I’m really carried away by this Chetan Bhagat speech and also it makes sense.

Don’t just have career or academic goals. set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. i use the word balanced before successful. balanced means ensuring your health, relationship, mental peace are all in good order. there is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. there is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tension.

Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. if the marble falls, there is no point coming first. same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. your striving is only worth if it there is harmony in your life. else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being exciting and alive, will start to die.

One thing about nurturing the spark – don’t take life seriously. life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. we are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. if we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. and 50 years just 2500 weekends. do we really need to get so worked up?

It’s ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, Enjoy with your friends, fall in love, little fights with your loved ones. We are people, not programmed decided.

Don’t be serious, be sincere.

Invictus Motivates But Drags

Just reached home after watching Invictus for second time. Though the movie has couple of motivational for Freeman it looses sheen when it comes to Rugby & for Matt Damon. Infact movies like Lagaan & Chack De India were much better and entertaining than this one.

Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon & Client Eastwood has raised the expectation and this being a real story the movie could have been taken much better. But one good part is the movie is not boring either.

I’ll watch the movie once again to collect & document all the famous quotes from Freeman.

Why this GAP?

Itz been a while since I blogged consistently. Finally I started getting enquries from readers. So, I think it is my responsibility to make things straight. Let me list some reasons;

- Struck by loads of work at a time. Unable to prioritize tasks effectively.
- Too many personal things good & bad which can’t be made public.
- Over a point blogging became a responsibility than hobby. I don’t know how this happened.
- Too much of blogging & work led to fatigue.
- Fatigue stopped my brain working. So, was unable to grab an opportunity to blog.
- Again fatigue made me loose interest on movies, photography, drive, travel which use to be my topics.

So, I wanted a healthy break to come back strong. I thank you all for your wonderful support.
