Just happy

Electronics goods (esp laptops and smart phones) are some things that make me happy...I mean i do not count myself amongst "geeks" but I am sure u understand when i speak of expierancing the happiness of running ur eyes over the sleek lines ..well placed buttons ...the glazed screen..bright smart applications ....ooohhh....!! U get the idea I guess.. Today I went to buy a "cheap" alternate phone and bought an expensive one(well..not that expensive) ..proving once again that love is blind. But I think its worth buying sumthing u like rather than burning in its desire (as long as u do not burn a king size hole) . I have regretted not buying what my heart desired as far as my lappy was concerned. I always feel maybe with 5 grands more..i would have been happier..!! but then there is a school of thought which says "you can never be satisfied with electronics"...be that as may..I feel there is a platue level of "electronic happiness".... I m right n...

Fever & imagination

I do not know if anyone has escaped a high fever but there is an expierance i would like to write about here before i forget it(something like a early dream)...! A few days i "caught" malaria falciparum ...Pretty sneaky fever and sneakier parasite. Apart from the severe chill and pain there was something else which i expieranced. I realised that when the fever was at the highest ..I got severely depressed. The world suddenly looked so dark and forbidding. Everything was really really negative. I was convinced that I would fail in whatever I was doing. My rents would be unpaid. My grades would come down...I would be handicapped. In short my deepest fears became magnified and projected themselves...To say i was suicidal would be an extreme but suddenly i lost interest in life. It was as if there was no point in living .... Its funny recalling all this now but then the feelings seemed so real . Maybe the whole atmosphere was more darkened by the fact that it was pretty overcast ...

Jaane tu- A review

Directors like Abbas tyrewala make me proud of the fact that i belong to a country which has bollywood ....! Jaane tu ..is a film which is nice ,wonderfully , "differently " written and directed by a person who can write the truth in all its myriad forms. He is not infalliable neither can he be always right. He will most likely make pretty rotten movies but not today. Today he made me proud that India has such wonderfull talent . The film is not too much on story as much as its on the little nuances that jump at you when you least expect it pull you hard and leave you breathless and refreshed at once . The freshness of the treatment spills into the interaction between the dead Naseeruddin shah and Ratna Pathak. Its brave , amazing and just the sense of humour which was missing till now in majority of the shit that goes around. Most of the scenes are so well crafted that I feel that its difficult to single out any but what hit me host were the the interaction between between t...
