Yes! I am happy, that my schedule has kept me busy. But still I don’t long for a holiday, not as of now! I still love spending my time attending practical session, boring lectures, interesting lectures, important lectures, spending time in the canteen, reading hall- here am I supposed to use studying, instead of spending time?, does it make a difference :P.

In the last few weeks I had a nice time, at least worth writing. I am an ardent fan of Johnny Depp and have always tried my best to watch most of his movies, and how can I lose a chance of watching CHOCOLAT which was aired on WORLD MOVIES. It’s a beautiful movie, something what women would love. Here the protagonist being a woman, it revolves around how she starts with a very unconventional shop, a shop of chocolates. She’s considered as a satan’s helper. The priest in the church forces people to stay away from chocolate, from her and from Johnny Depp the ranger. It’s about how they come together finally convincing people of their town. It’s quite a normal story but brilliant performances by both, Juliette Binoche and of course Johnny Depp. Though, the best part of the movie was the last statement, I don’t remember it exactly, but all it meant was to gain goodwill, instead of looking at things which u can avoid, people you can stop being with, look at the things good for you, and people you include.

No significant movie after that, till Kung-fu Panda. Animated movies can never be boring! This is a wonderful movie pointing at the fact that we should never underestimate anyone, never lose hope, and trust ourselves. It shows a panda accidentally becoming the dragon warrior and how he’s entrusted upon a difficult task, and how the flabby, chubby, cute little panda becomes actually fights the baddie. The voice-over done by Black Jack does justice to the role. Emotions drawn on their faces are amazing, voice over of all the characters is good, but I found the movie very small, I would’ve loved to have a laugh for some more time. But all in all it was a good movie! Absolutely amazing!

Apart from movies, I am reading a novel to give my mind a break. I am reading The Scarlet Rider by Lucy Susex. It’s a book which absorbs you totally; I’m almost coming to its end. Will surely write a review! Now that I am talking about it all I want to do is to go and finish it! :D. Till the next time, have a nice time folks and the two movies are not worth missing, do watch them!

HORRIBLE HOLIDAYS!!

I was walking along the road, to the rickshaw stand I called up Shraddha to inform I was not going to attend the first lecture, since I was a bit late, and on top of that there was an auto-rickshaw strike. In that case where was I going? Well, I was so tired of sitting home all these days, since after a long weekend; we had another holiday, due to the Parsi New Year, and all our trekking plans [we made two, second, after the failure of the first] were cancelled. :( I was determined to go to college, even though I would have to walk up to the station. I wish I was so determined as far my studies were concerned.

So as on the way, I decided to call Shraddha, I called her up, in a sleepy tone she answered and broke the bad news on me, that lectures are cancelled :( I was really sad when I heard this, whatever the strike was for; I hope the teachers got whatever they’d been demanding for, because I don’t want the holiday to go waste. Anyways, as I said Shraddha broke the news to me, and still determined not to go home and do nothing, I kept on walking, calling people, asking, expecting that someone would tell me that lectures are not cancelled, then I tried to call some old friends [old i.e. friends from my school. And Jr. College], but in vain, all had their lectures, college, lucky chaps!

I just don’t want any more of holidays, not in the coming 4 weeks for sure. Maybe a hectic week, early morning practical will just do the thing for maybe, and maybe I’ll long for a long holiday then! Maybe!

But for now, I would like to call them THE HORRIBLE HOLIDAYS!!!

YEH JO DES HAI MERA....SWADES HAI MERA...

I hope every Indian had a very happy INDEPENDENCE DAY!

It’s been 61 years since we got freedom. The whole of the year we don’t think about it much, but when it is the day, we pray, we celebrate. Some people call it a show off, but I don’t, I believe in these busy routines, people might not show their love for their nation everyday, but they do love their country. And when they get a holiday, a reason, they show their love for the country.

This year apart from just this day, the whole week was brightened and its due credit goes to non other than Mr. Abhinav “the humble” Bindra, the man who created history. He won a gold medal in 10m rifle shooting, the first individual gold medal India ever got in Olympics, after a wait of around 108 years. Kudos to you! He has given many Indians, sportsperson a ray of hope! He hasn’t just done it; instead, he has given a beginning! I wish we win some more gold medals in the passing time.

Apart from a ceremonious week, personally I’d a light-hearted week. With our college dept. shifting its location, lectures off! Practical sessions off! What else could this lazy brain ask for! And then a 3 days weekend! Did this week ever exist?
