Diwali came... and went..

I know its Diwali...and its the season of festivities and theres happiness and cheer around...but it doesn't mean we disturb people sleeping peacefully ...not atleast at 5 or 6 in the morning...i think thats the best time for one's sleep.. One is in the deepest sleep at those hours....

I was a bit restless ...god knows what time was it..as i could hear the firecrackers all around me..i looked at the alarm clock...it was 5 in the morning!! I ignored..tried sleeping again..

The bell rang twice....i thought someone would open the door...as i was busy with something...i was dreaming...and in reality it was the milkman ringing the doorbell like a madman...at 5:30 in the morning!! God I hate this..Anyway...i tried going back to sleep again..and just half an hour after that..the doorbell rang again!! It was my cook! At 6! Very politely i wished her happy diwali, and shooed her away! Tried going back to sleep again....and there rings the phone!!

I understand that its Diwali...and we're supposed to get up early...have a bath, do the pooja, and burst fire crackers....but i would say...its for people who really want to do this...what about people who want to take it easy on a holiday...as they anyway have a rush everyday! I say...why can't one celebrate a festival at his/her own convenience? Just because your neighbours started bursting crackers at 5 in the morning...doesn't mean you too do the same?

Oh god!!
Can I go back to sleep again....

When? Where? How? who? What? Why?
I don't know...
I think i don't want to know...

Or maybe I do...
Lets see...hmmm

No no...i don't want to know...
I keep saying....doesn't make a difference...hmmm is that so?

I think it does make a difference...
Am I running away from anything?
Nope...i don't think so.....so why don't i want to know?

Because i really don't want to know...as if it made any difference to me ...
No! but it does make a difference...

Maybe i should know..
No no...i don't want to know...

I think i need a break !!

For the first time ever, working at some other place than rediff...feels weird, out of place..
Been so used to logging on to messenger the first thing when i get to work...and checking all emails!! They don't allow that here! Its all blocked! Somehow its a part of their policies...but i feel they don't trust their employees..and block all of that to play safe!

It somehow makes me feel i am not online! Anyway...spoke to a couple of friends, they all said..thats how it is ....u know..in most of the organisations! They don't allow all this faltu stuff :) People actually work all the time... I tried logging on to Rediff Blogs..but couldn't :(...

Today for the first time ever in the last 7 years, I had lunch alone at my workplace..but i guess its just my first day here..so..once i make friends i am sure i won't eat alone.

But I truely missed Uma Iyer's loud laugh, Swapnap's gyan, Sameer's comments, Rohan's dubba and definitely my hubby :(

Hopefully...i'll get used to it. U know...not being online :)


Lakshya.
Do I have one? No. Not yet. I like the scene in LAKSHYA when Hrithik, has no words to describe his lakshya... which is to drive away the enemy.

Had been to Leh-Ladakh last week. I had never seen India like this before. I mean I have seen alot of hill stations but this one is the most different one. Its a cold desert.

I went to a village called Alchi, about 100 kms away from Kargil. 1000 years old monastry, harsh sun, Chilly breeze, mountains all over, no vegetation and the very beautiful Indus river.

A normal human being takes about 24 hrs to get aclimatised. Its very difficult to breathe there. One has to get used to the weather there. Now I wondor..

I have seen LOC-KARGIL, saw LAKSHYA yesterday. I only know about Kargil whats been shown in these movies...must have been more worse. I mean..I couldn't walk 100 mtrs without being breathless, i wondor how these brave soldiers climed the hills! Its amazing!

I got GMAAAAAAAAAILLLL!! YipEEE!!
BHOOOOOOOOOOT!!

Today is Kersasp's Birthday and its been exactly ONE year since I saw Bhoot starring Urmila, Ajay and Fardeen Khan. I remember, I, Kersasp, Carie, Anand, Rishi, Ritesh and Bhavna had gone to watch the movie. And this is what happened to some of us. (There were some who just didn't get affected by the movie)

Me - I didn't get sleep for 2 months! Everytime I would try to sleep, I would imagine Manjeet (The ghost in 'Bhoot') watching me from the bedroom door. I avoided looking into the mirror at night for almost a month. I do it sometimes even now :(!! The feeling of someone watching you..or someone being around was with me for a very long time. I used to wake up in the middle of the night because of the nightmares I had of that same ghost.

After a year, that feeling is still there....sometimes, when I am alone. I hate being alone and that too at night!

Anand - Apparantly he stayed very close to the building where Bhoot was shot! And he lived all alone in a 2 bedroom house. He kept the lights on at night for almost a month. He dismantled his keyboard thinking someone would start playing it at night. He didn't get off his bed at night thinking there would be someone below it.

He thought he got spam mails from Manjeet (the ghost in the movie).

Rishi- He had seen the movie with his eyes closed! Don't know still how he was as scared as I was! He slept with his parents that day!
Be Yourself

Too much of a good thing
Has really burnt me out
I'm sick of satisfaction
And living in a drought

Just be yourself
Anyway that you want to
Just be yourself
Anyway that you can
Just be yourself
Anyway that you want to, baby
Just be yourself
Anyway that you can

The center of attention
Is living on the edge
The thirty of second floor
I'm standing on a ledge

Got to get this straight
Cos we're running too late

Just be yourself
Anyway that you want to, baby
Just be yourself
Anyway that you can
Just be yourself
Anyway that you want to baby
Just be yourself
Anyway that you can

Just be yourself
Anyway that you want to, baby
Just be yourself
Anyway that you can
Just be yourself
Anyway that you want to, baby
Just be yourself
Anyway that you can
Just be yourself
Anyway that you want to
Just be yourself
Anyway that you can
Just be yourself
Anyway that you want to, baby
Just be yourself
Anyway that you can
Just be yourself
Anyway, baby
Just be yourself
Anyway that you can
Plan for the weekend: WATCH 'YUVA'
Finally! I saw Main Hoon Na :) Pretty decent movie..I thought.

What I liked: The BACKGROUND score (I think its fantastic!), Sushmita Sen and the Action sequences.

What I disliked: The songs (they are pretty badly shot), The editing (Its so unfinished & shabby)

The Worst: Suniel Shetty's character!
Haven't seen a bollywood flick in 2 weeks! The last I saw was Masti. I'll try and watch MHN this weekend. I have heard its quiet a SOB. Khichdi of all the recent bollywood hits & the hot toppic of Indo-Pak relationship.

I've also heard the only saving grace in the movie is Sushmita Sen. Heard she looks ravishing in MHN.

The songs of MHN are strictly OK. Anu Malik has done an average job. The last time he worked hard was Asoka..i think. Asoka had some great songs!

The last SRK flick i saw was KHNH. Ammm.. yet another addition to my favourites list. Not because of SRK but the songs & the picturization.

I think nobody has ever shot NYC like this before...
