Calvin - Again

Monday makes me feel absolutely like calvin


That's the difference between me and the rest of the world! Happiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria!

... Reality continues to ruin my life.

Ganging-up for gangster

Tell someone a movie is good (when it is pathetic) , so that they suffer the same trauma that you did.

I have done this so many times in the past and have no intention of stopping. But a phenomenon which I saw for gangster, when the entire world ganged up against me - and I ended up watching Gangster !

The culprits are :

• Good reviews in papers - the same ones that gives kabhi kushi kabhi gham 5 stars, and yet I listen to them - what a sucker :o)
• Good reviews on websites (read rediff) - am not going trust the website for anything related to a "view" - facts are ok, but views - noooooooooooooooooooooooooo. (do not read reviews on indiatimes as well)
  
• Almost everyone I met and spoke to them about how the movie is. They said they have not seen the movie but "heard" it is good - am going to follow advice of all thriller movies "trust noone"

Saving grace in the movie

• Nice songs
• While you are in theatre, the 'audience' - read US

My Advice ? (remember trust noone)

• Mahesh Bhatt - bad ( i really like some of his old movies , hum hain rahi pyaar ke ! but as they say, people change. This one has changed for good - turned bad)
  
• Emran hashmi - pathetic (this was the first movie of his I could muster the courage to watch. Yes i did not go to see murder)
  
• Together - Help , mars attacks ! god save the world
  

Trivia - Internationalization

why is Internationalization referred to as i18n in short ?

There are 18 letters between the first and last letter ( i and n) of the word internationalization - talk about mnemonic lovers in computer science !

Im the darkness in the light
Im the leftness in the right
Im the rightness in the wrong
Im the shortness in the long
Im the goodness in the bad
Im the saneness in the mad
Im the sadness in the joy
Im the gin in the gin-soaked boy

Im the ghost in the machine
Im the genius in the gene
Im the beauty in the beast
Im the sunset in the east
Im the ruby in the dust
Im the trust in the mistrust
Im the trojan horse in troy
Im the gin in the gin-soaked boy

Im the tigers empty cage
Im the mysterys final page
Im the strangers lonely glance
Im the heros only chance
Im the undiscovered land
Im the single grain of sand
Im the christmas morning toy
Im the gin in the gin-soaked boy

Im the world youll never see
Im the slave youll never free
Im the truth youll never know
Im the place youll never go
Im the sound youll never hear
Im the course youll never steer
Im the will youll not destroy
Im the gin in the gin-soaked boy

Im the half-truth in the lie
Im the why not in the why
Im the last roll of the die
Im the old school in the tie
Im the spirit in the sky
Im the catcher in the rye
Im the twinkle in her eye
Im the jeff goldblum in the fly

Who am i?

My Interpretation: I am quintessential !

More-on Life

How does it feel to suddenly reduce your quota of sleep by 3 hours (specially in the world where people are hell bent on increasing quota.)

I feel good - another reason why we should reduce quota!

Sick of having a dreadful and lazy lifestlye, I have started playing badminton again - In a club called city-nest close to my plance.

Hard it might be, to believe (even myself) that I can get up at 5 am in the morning !

you talkin' to me ?

"You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here."

Robert De Niro - Taxi Driver

Michael Schumacher

you either love him or you hate him - one thing you have to hand out to him - his desire to win. I would imagine after having 86 wins under his belt, he would take it easy, but just to look at him celebrate each one of his victories makes you think otherwise.
They say it's not whether you won or lost , its how you played the game. Well, I think otherwise and If you need a role model for that, watch the next formula-1 race.
