Aaaa-chooooo!!... *sniff sniff*

Wasn't it better when you were a kid.? Don't you miss your childhood days after you have grown up? I do too.
To be specific, I miss the times when I was a kid and used to catch a Cold. The maximum consequence would be a running nose. Which can be taken care of by blowing your nose into a kerchief and which is excusable for kids. After all noone can expect you to be all that mannered.
But once you grow up, its not you that matures ( half the human specie is an exception to this) but the Cold matures with you too and knows better how to pull you down. Yes, Ab Sardi ke sath, Khasi, Bukhar, Sar dard, Badan dard, Chakkar sab MUFT! And I haven't even mentioned the "lal-pili" tablets the Doctor gives you. What do you know, sometimes they do work, at least partly.
Besides you know what Abhay Deol and old grandmas say in Hindi "Jo hota hai, achhe ke liye hota hai", or in Bengali, in my case,"Ja kichhu hoy, shob bhalor jonnay hi hoy." Yeah Grandma, I'll give it to you for being right this time. I have a Secret Seminar to attend at the CA Institute and having such a terrible Cold was like the perfect excuse for not having to go to work. Also if your boyfriend or girlfriend, as the case maybe, dumps you at this time and you feel like crying but don't want the whole world to know what a sissy or loser you are, you could cry and still save your ass by telling people the running nose is just because of the cold and the tears, well... because of the headache or the other free benefits of having a Cold as mentioned above.
By the way that Secret Seminar is still a secret, so shhhh.... Don't tell anyone LADIES!!

Telepopmusik - Breathe lyrics

Artist: Telepopmusik, Album: Genetic World, Song Title: Breathe

I brought you something close to me,
Left for something you see though your here.
You haunt my dreams
There's nothing to do but believe,
Just Believe.
Just Breathe.

Another day, just believe,
Another day, just breathe
Another day, just believe,
Another day. Just breathe.

I'm used to it by now.
Another day, just believe.
Just breathe. Just believe.
Just breathe.
Lying in my bed,
Another day, staring at the ceiling.

Just breathe. Another day.
Another day, just believe.
Another day.
I'm used to it by now.
I'm used to it by now.
Just breathe. Just believe.
Just breathe. Just believe.
Just believe. Just breathe.
Just believe.
Another day, just believe.
Another day.
Another day, just believe,
Another day, just breathe,
Another day (I do believe).
Another day(so hard to breathe)
Another day(not so hard to believe)
Another day. Another day.

Disturbia

I have a lot of friends who do not like to watch English movies, (villagers!), and if you are one of those friends then this post doesn't concern you... Come to think of it I guess my entire blog doesn't concern you 'cause after all its all in English! And for the rest of my readers, please don't mind my hyper exaggeration at times. I DON'T hang out all the time with villagers... Anyways what I began to say was that this week I managed to take out time to watch a movie which I failed to download and watch 5 months before its release in India. I'm talking about Disturbia.





I know you may have heard that its not a good movie but, pleeease, tell me you're smart enough than to believe everything you hear... Anyways I gotta say it was quite a good movie. This one is a suspense/thriller/murder mystery. The lead actor, Shia LeBeouf ( remember the teenager in Transformers ), loses his father in a car crash and for some reason blames himself for it. Being provoked by his teacher he punches the old man in the face ( which looked awesome... will make you wish you had the guts or no brains to do so ) and gets sentenced to 3 months of house arrest. Yeah its hard for a 17 yr old to be stuck inside his house all day and yet be productive. So our little hero takes up the time pass of spying on his neighbors from his house. By the end of a week or so he knew which of his neighbors was sleeping with whom and who was the prettiest babe on the block and also, which one of them was a potential psycho killer. Our story moves on as the spying picks up pace and the one under constant vigil finds out who's been stalking him. One hell of a creepy fellow he is! Anyways the best part is the shocking climax which will keep you at the edge of your seat.

My rating: ***1/2 stars.

Go watch this one on the big screen instead of whiling away your time in from of your PC, or worse, the stupid TV.

Poky Umbrellas

I know a very tiny portion of the 6,60,22,24,175 World Population is going to empathize with me here... Alright maybe not the World Population but at least 90% of India's Population is going to detest me now... Like I care.. Hmf! You gotta be at least 5 feet 8 inches tall to understand what I am talking about i.e. how dangerous umbrellas are. Imagine yourself walking down the road on a drizzling morning, pretty much, enjoying the weather, the feel of those tiny droplets of water kissing your cheeks... and suddenly you get poked in your eye and you find yourself going blind in one eye and oh, did i forget to mention how painful it is?... By the time you recover from the pain in your eye you realize it was because some 5 feet 3 inches short Female (or man) cannot see someone taller and bigger than themselves walking by, its either already too late to go after the person who hurt you and pound them into the ground and even if you manage to catch hold of the Chintu or Chinti they are not even Sorry because its raining and its not their fault that they are less blessed by God... And the inventor of The Umbrella lies peacefully in his grave. That would be a certain William C. Carter. $@!^**% !!!
I wish I were the President or something of this country. I would have passed some law to ensure that such less-blessed people are not allowed to carry Umbrellas. Probably levy high taxes on the umbrellas so that prices go high and people cannot afford it and the rich who can afford it, anyways, travel in cars. So they wont hurt you, don't worry. This is where studying Income tax and being a to be CA pays off... Alas! I am not the President nor the Finance Minister. So for the time being all you short pests can relax. Just keep your @$^%*#$ umbrellas out of my way or i will KILL you if i have to and all you nice innocent 5 feet 8 inchers take care of your eyes and your head and stay at least a meter away from anything that is apparently floating at your eye-level, no matter how pretty it looks. After all looks can be deceptive.

The Blunder of a Boss

Oh! what I meant to say is that his being a Boss is a big blunder in itself by the one who made him the so-called "Boss". So have you ever felt like you were working for a stupid little man? Well I go through this wonderful feeling everyday. And amongst all other things, what happened today, has to be one of his classics. The man sends me a Laptop to carry all the way home and back tomorrow to his most important client's ( Thomas Cook's ) office but guess what? guess what? guess what? ...My laptop wont work tomorrow BECAUSE HE DIDN'T SEND THE POWER CORD. Genius, isn't he? Thats what makes me wonder how on earth could he be made MY Boss and now you wonder why I am still sticking with the job? Because there's no real workload for me UNLIKE my Boss thinks.
Moral of the story: Never show your brilliance to your Boss if you wanna have a Stress-free Life.

The Borivli wali in a Virar Local...
Have you ever been in that situation? Ever caught a Virar Fast at peak hours when u wanted to go to Borivali or caught a Virar Fast Local bound to Churchgate from Borivali at peak hours? Neither have I but I see others doing this everyday. I don't know about the Gents compartments but definitely in the Ladies Compartment Borivali walas are treated like criminals. Its like one of those classic cat fights that I hear everyday and thank Sony Ericsson for W Series... Honestly if it were up to me then I would excuse you (the Borivali wali/wala) for accidentally taking the train but you should never in your right mind do such a "crime" (according to the other ladies). I do get their point because you have Borivali Locals every 3 minutes but they have Virar Locals every 15 minutes. Why would you want to crowd an already crowded train further? You may not know but sometimes while you get into the train there are others who wanted to go to Virar but couldn't find place to get in and were too afraid to travel hanging outside the train. It just doesn't make sense, does it? I mean come on what difference does the extra 10 minutes between Andheri and Borivali make to you? You couldn't die if you spend an extra 10 minutes in the Borivali train but you could die if you try to save those 10 minutes.
So next time try to be smart and don't let it slip out that you want to get off at Borivali coz they will take pleasure in harassing you. Hope they wont throw you out of the running train. Good luck!
