Just Another Blog

I am back home for the mid semester break these days and enjoying every bit of it by indulging in what i describe as “Zilch”, except sleeping and sleeping and yes bit of both!!

A week back home , nothing eventful about it, but yes full of incidents worth mentioning from my perspective-

Big things come first. My first journey by “AEROPLANE”, from Delhi to Lucknow. It was just an hour flight of which I slept for almost half an hour, 15 minutes on eating those ninety rupees Veg-Sandwiches, which I only bought to celebrate my first air journey, 10 minutes in looking at the people around, air hostess especially, a tall fair young lady, hair tied in a bun and wearing a blue saree, magazines, seat-belts and last five minutes expressing my gratitude to Wright Brothers for such a magnificent invention.

My sister described me as one of the most hapless souls after I failed to get even a single buzz from some very peculiar type of female species existing on rediff bol, even after trying out umpteen ishhtylish nick-names from my dictionary.

I repeated a mistake which I committed long ago when I read Paulo Coelho’s By The River Piedra I Sat Down & Wept. I read another book of his, Eleven Minutes, knowing that I don’t belong to that esoteric group who understand this genre and yet again I slept for 2 hrs after reading it. My head felt so heavy as if Paulo Coelho himself hit me with a sledgehammer as a comeuppance for committing the crime of not only picking up his book but also reading it. Though I did not understand much of it but there is one thing that I understood “We can either be a victim of a situation or We can be an adventurer in search of a treasure that is unknown”. I think after reading this book I became a victim in search of a treasure that I later realized belongs to Master Coelho and his disciples only.

Queen Pankumari rules our house when it comes to Entertainment and TV. Women Empowerment and Emancipation is the motto everyday and NDTV Imagine, Colors, Sony, Star Plus are the tools to implement it.

“Slumdog Millionare’s” actress Frida Pinto in contention for the role of the next “Bond Girl” in the upcoming 007 movie, courtesy India TV. India TV further says “It would be a proud moment for India if Frida Pinto plays the role of the Bond Girl as none of the Indian actress’s in the past have been lucky enough to darn this coveted role”. INDIA TV ROCKS!!

Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal enter the quarterfinals in the Champions League, following them are Barcelona, Porto, Villarreal and Bayern Munich. Awaiting for some serious football action. FUDGE IS ON!!

Lastly, I got this new epithet of being diplomatic in my words. Circumlocutions are what I have been indicted with and Politics is what I have been suggested to seriously consider. To this I would say that I prefer being called a diplomat than to be called “Extremely Emotional”.

Leaving for R-land on 15^th. Cognizance from 20^th March. Some great FIFA action in store for the hallowed Ganga Gamers. ALL THE BEST!! (of course to myself only!)
