Just do it.....Nevertheless.

For so long, as I've lived an almost miserable to a happy life, I've constantly had one dinstinctive unwanted feature within me......a fear of not wanting to do things and enjoy things around me.

Everytime I thought of doing something, or I passed something I liked, I would suddenly recoil and walk away as fast as possible in the fear of gaining something and then regretting it.I would always come up with a lame excuse for myself, and I would suddenly find myself telling me, "oh dont bother, there's enough time to do that", and then the moment would slip by and long forgotten onto the long lost chapters of my youth. Now the time has come to change it, and it starts now.

From now, everything about me will act opposite to what I used to do. If I pass by a shop seeing a delightful chocolate flavoured Ice cream, out jump my hands into the depths of my pockets for the money, doesnt matter if I wanted to save for something else. From now, if I walk by a block where some really hot chicks are practising dance, I'll remind myself to sit and admire the beauty and the bargain - the dance. From now, I will do the exact opposite of what I think. Maybe I'l enjoy my youth anyway.

Let's just chill for 5 minutes folks. It wont kill us. god forbid.

Congrats Hamas

Yesterday the Palestine elections threw up an unexpected and chilling leader, victoriously winning the elections, Hamas. This is the same organisation that have created an aura of fear into the hearts of Israelis, and them winning the election has thrown up a huge question mark on the future of Palestine. What happens next? Does Hamas use it's power and carry on more killings on Israeli soil? Already governments of different nations have expressed caution to Hamas, without reply so far.

Let's hope for the best for peace in the middle east.

Rang De Basanti

I have been itching forever for a look at this movie the day it would release down here in Leicester and yesterday my prayers were answered! I finally got to watch the long coveted Aamir back in action after the disasterous "Mangal Pandey - The Rising".

Never have I seen a movie stay loyal to youth and freedom at the same time. I wasn't expecting much out of this movie except for the fact that it might have shades of Dil Chahta Hai, another popular youth flick. But this one blew my mind right from the beginning to the end, although the story got a little too ficitonal towards a pulsating climax.

This is the story of friends, a story of freedom fight of India in the 1940s India, a story of a young English journalist wanting to make a documentary on the diary left behind by her grandfather who served in the British Legion during the freedom movement of India, a story of love, a story of patriotism, story of coruptness within politicians. This is a movie that needs to be watched to be believed.

What I loved the most was the first part of the movie right to the interval. It potrayed true friendship between a group of lovable friends who stick with each other through thick and thin, and seem to have the time of their lives. Aamir as usual played a good role, but is ably supported with all the character including Mahadaven. But my favourite character has got to be Karan(Siddarth) in the movie, mostly because he represented me so much in the movie. Quiet, open minded, secluded, looks etc. Felt like as if I was right in there on the screen.

All I can say is if you watch hindi movies, even with english subtitles, it's worth the watch. Go ahead and chill for 2:30min. It wont kill you. My rating? 3/5. The second half killed it for me...

Love is just bullshit.

Amazing how love can change people, yet find time to destroy their lives.
Amazing how love can be a sunshine at one point, and total darkness at the other.
Amazing how people easily fall in love, yet find hard to get out of it.
Amazing how love conquers all, yet defeats all will.
Amazing how love is beautiful, yet crazy.
Amazing how people can fall in love at first sight, yet it blinds them.
Amazing how love is everything, yet it's nothing.
Amazing how love is considered tasty, yet turns sour.

Have you got my point yet? If not......DONT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF FALLING IN LOVE.

Marriage - Revisited.

One of the most controversial and taboo subject for me. Sometimes I just look at all the married couples and then silently wonder, how can two people stand each other for the rest of their lives. Although I know someday I will have to get married and leave my legacy behind, it's going to be a very very difficult decision for me, not because I wont be able to live with the same person for the rest of my life but because I just dont believe in the theory of marriage. Ok agreed it's a sacred thing and that having a partner by your side is one of those greatest feelings one can have, but then thats me. There's always something niggling in my head and I just keep wondering every now and then.

Another problem which I somehow can't seem to agree with is the the theory of arranged marriage! I mean, what the hell? You choose someone for your child and what if you child doesnt like his/her match, but only marries because you asked your child to do so. How will the poor child live for the rest of his/her life? It is very difficult this arranged marriage stuff. I prefer having a love marriage because you already love your opposite and it's only a matter of tying the knot.

One other problem is wives can be such a big headache. Im not talking from experience, but rather what I feel. Everynow and then they will ask you to go out, shopping, fun etc. I mean it's all coolbut there's a limit!But whatever the case, all wives are mothers too and for that FULL RESPECT!

Abs.

When friends are lost.

This has more to do with me at the moment than anyone else around I guess. Friends. What should I say? Ok here I start the rant....

Sometimes I just feel that I have friends who "act" like they're friends rather than actually being one. Yesterday during Eid, I called up a few (rather two) of my so called "friends" who never bothered keeping in touch all these days like as if I didnt exist. Well as expected, they didnt bother picking up the phone. I realised one thing there and there. F*** them. And if they call me or message me back, f*** them twice, thrice, whatever it takes. Coz I aint gonna bother about them no more. Yup you'all history.

End of rant.....

I guess this is stupid writing it here, but I needed one ear to listen to me, and blog was the best i felt. Sheesh.

A blownup story.

Its about my Laptop. And the adapter is gone, and after countless rings to Toshiba, I get a poor customer service and finally find out that they do not have another adapter in stock, which made me look on ebay and other worldwide websites that could sell adapters. And guess what? Same bloody story. Out of stock, or either too expensive (60 quids!).

So i decided to try out this small shop next to my house. And voila, I get it for 50 quid, although still expensive, but atleast didnt have to run around. So here I am back on my laptop, and back to blogging.

I must say, not being able to work on the laptop for almost a week, was a complete shocker! I didnt realise I would so much time to do other stuff. Plus I was able to go out more often. Although I haver to admit, I did miss my laptop a lot.
