Harry Potter

Was amazing....

I was surprised I would take those pains to watch a mere movie. Well it was different than most times, since I was going to see Mr. Potter and his friends and foes at the Dome Screen at IMAX ADLABS.

Had already booked tickets online for the 10:30 PM show. Was all set to go, and then it happened. The Lord of rain decided to play his best - it began raining cats and dogs. And obviously I did not want to ride my Enfield in the rainy night.

SO had to depend on local transportation services.
Left home at 9 PM.Managed to get there on time.
Saw the movie. 'Twas great!
Move got over at 12:45 AM.
It was still raining.

Fortunately, there was a cab that was "available" and I could hire. Asked the guy to drop me at Chembur station.
Went to the ticket counter at the station. It was 1: 15 AM. I asked for a ticket to Sanpada, and that S.O.B on the counter told me the last train has left, and next train (first train) is at 4 AM.

Why S.O.B?
Coz he lied.

A guy who was standing at the PCO just next to the counter told me that the last train is at 1:20 AM and that I should demand a ticket. When I did, the counter fellow had nothing to say! I got home at 1:45 AM

I got on the last train, thanks to the stranger at the PCO, else I would have had to go thru the inconvenience for seeking other alternatives.


So thats...Happy Potter finally :-)

Will Power....or is it wills power?

As happy as a lark, and as delighted as anyone could get....I have got gmail today! Thanks to a friend who sent me an invitation.

Looks like my lady-luck is smiling.
I really wish I should have asked for something else as well...maybe a car?
Vijay, if u are reading this, you know now what I want ;-)

Gmail??

Yeah heard about Gmail..the email from google offering a good 1 GB for storing emails. I want one too....boohoooooo

Stressed me out even more when I went to gmailswap. Could someone tell me if they can invite me for gmail?

For once in a life, I am feeling I am being left out...

Why?

I have been trying to sleep for a few hours
Suddenly I got up, booted the comp, and started typing this
Why?

I find myself staring at the ceiling in darkness of night
thinking whether I am making a mistake
Why?

Picked up a pack of cigarettes 5 hours ago
and what remains now is only the ash
Why?

As I type this, there are tears in my eyes
I am making a lot of spell errors
Why?

I am trying to do something I always wanted to
I am being blamed for being irresponsible
Why?

My bank balance is almost zero
and I don't seem to be concerned
Why?

My parents keep insisting that I take a job
They don't believe that I can be an entrepreneur
Why?

I right now feel I should punch this screen
and throw the keyboard away
I am controlling myself
and this I know why

My head hurts, my eyes pain
My heart cries out loud that I am a fool
Why?

Most of these are simple to answer
but none of them convince me
Why?

Thinking of what I have lost makes me cry
Thinking of what I have earned makes me proud
Why?

If money is everything, I'd loot a bank
But that will make my people hate me
Why?

This world does not allow an honest man
to do what he wants to do in life
Why?

I want to be liked and loved
but I am being condemned by lots
Why?

If I take a job now and earn money for the house
My dream will but remain a dream
and if I should take a job and let go my dreams, please tell me
Why?

Thousands are born every day and every day thousands die
Am I wrong if I want to be remembered even after I die?
Why?

Life and death...

Seems so weird. Just yesterday he met me accidentally. Shared a joke. Laughed. Had tea with me. It was all so normal. But today, he met with an accident, and is no more....He has left behind old parents who were depending on him, young wife who has to take care of herself and their little one.....

The thought shudders me..one moment you are alive and kicking, and the next moment it's all over. Not that I am scared of dying...everyone who come has to go. And once you go, you are not there. Period. What scares me is what you leave behind for your loved ones...dreams, sorrow, tears and hope.

What is this blog business?

Have been wondering about it for quite some time.
Checked Oxford Reference, was futile.
Funniest part, when I ran a spell check on this post,
this site itself does not recognize "blog" *lol*
Then thought, what the heck, best way to find out is create one :-)

So here I am. Trying out this blog site.

Don't know how I came here
Don't know how long I'd stay here
Don't know what I will do here
Dont' know when I will come here again
So much of uncertainty, so should I be doing this?
Of course, life itself is uncertain, but that does not mean we stop living do we?
