Quite a wierd thing happened yday.Not wierd as in "yeew, gross" kinda wierd. More like "Oh my...this is stange". What was the wierd thing? Well...I started reading a book again.

To most normal human beings, this would be quite a letdown.Wierd ,he says, Bah Humbug. Yet for a guy whose reading appetite is quite like the mating habits of a infrequent one-night-stander.Very infrequent.However crazy that simile may sound I think it is a most suitable and apt description of my reading habits.

Most of the books I read when I realise I'm not reading enough. This notion comes and goes, and recently I had it once in the hostel and once yesterday.Thats all the books I ahve read this year.So you can understand how the very infrequently part fits.That book was 11 minutes by someone whose name I forget about a Brazilian girl who ends up in Switzerland as a nightclub;wait why am I doing this...Anyways this book is as crazy ,about some LOTR level storyline and a sorta mock of all fiction ever made.Makes interesting reading though not for long I guess.Usually takes me all of 2 days to finish a book.I havent been so loyal to this one though.

Thats about it.Tara came home today.Nothing new here.

Bis bald

Abracadabra

"Molly, do you believe in witches and wizards?", asked Ken, rather nonchalantly, as they sat down on a bench overlooking the placid Lake Trepton. "Witches? Wizards? What do you mean?", retorted Molly , as she turned towards him, with a quizzical look on her face. "Well, like those in the classic movies. The Lord of the Rings. Harry Potter. Chronicles of Narnia." "I suppose I don't believe them. I mean, I would like to believe..." Keb interrupted her, "Pity. Wouldn't it be rather cool if they true? The creatures, the mystical artifacts, all those stuff in the books..." "Books? I thought you were talking about some movies?" "Molly dear, all of them are books made into movies. Surely you have read the books?" "No, I havent. I have seen all the movies though. I really like the Lord of the Rings trilogy..." "That is quite sad. You haven't read the books? Those masterpieces of literature. Their a

Hey, I lost a week somewhere

So I was thinking about how wonderful it would be if life was but a Hollywood film and everyone had his heroine, all beautiful,smart, in a high-paying job, ready to risk everthing for the hero (who is you) and most importantly will end up with you whatever natural disaster, unnatural disaster, animal, monster, robot, Brad Pitt, through anything basically. Yes, that would be a good life. It would be... %Reality check% In the form of a somewhat recognisable voice from behind your chair, for all the above reflection was done in the privacy and the comfort of my chair , listening to the host of songs that the Considerate One, Goda charitably sent to the Unfortunate Ones (Thota and me) after much persuation... Mentor : Umm, can you write out a mail about what all you've done in the past two weeks. Me: oh. ok. (pause) Can I mention I was installing software? Mentor : (Slightly taken aback) Please dont. okay one line maybe. Me: hmm. ok. So then I realised, I have almost finished two wee

C'est la vie

I was sitting in my home listening to CDs of my father's college reunion music, so basically the 70s. I was amazed. For the songs weren't obscure esoteric songs long forgotten by time. Nay. They were in fact the very songs I have been listening to these 4 years at IIT. Come Together (Beatles), Have You Ever Seen The Rain (CCR), Smoke Over Water (Deep Purple), Imagine (John Lennon), Annie's Song (John Denver) and other such wonderous songs. Again, and again. Has music not transgressed the Rocking Seventies? Sure, there have been other bands (Read Cold Play) who have made their mark since three decades ago but nothing to the tune of the classics. I suppose, for me, ever since I was introduced to Simon & Garfunkel, ever so long ago, there was no looking back. Or maybe, this is more an endemic thing. To the insti. For once I was asked a question pertaining to my musical tastes. I was asked as well as B (Cummander B). Both of us had answers which revolved around bands atle
