I ate the Lotos

One of those days when you have to drag yourself out of bed, the boss calls you when you are a minute away from office,and work just seems to keep piling up. But all you can think of is being elsewhere.

Orkut

I signed up on Orkut after hearing a lot of good things about it and all I got were messages from weird people wanting to date women. So I took my picture out, my email id off, and stopped checking my scrap book. Till I got a scrap from a former colleague a few days back, and another. I was surprised, to say the least. Orkut has its uses after all.

Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is by far the best Harry Potter film adaptation of the Potter series. Kudos to the scriptwriter for distilling the essence of the book into a really thrilling, tight paced movie. Its been lovely to watch Harry, Ron and Hermione grow up. Neville, Fred and George have shaped up pretty well too. Viktor Krum was great eye candy. Missed seeing Sirius, though. Can't wait to see it again!

Monday Morning

How presumptuous would it be for someone to call himself an alpha male? Does pointing out that the opposite side has faults negate yours? Or mine? Why don't things matter the way they used to? Why is Kurt Cobain still such a good friend?

Song in my head

What are you running from?
Taking pills to get along
Creating walls to call your own
So no one catches you drifting off and
Doing all the things that we all do

Let them wash away
All those yesterdays
All those yesterdays
All those paper plates

You've got time, you've got time to escape
There's still time, it's no crime to escape
It's no crime to escape, it's no crime to escape
There's still time, so escape
It's no crime, crime..

- All those yesterdays, Pearl Jam

Anger

Over the years, the number of weird guys (i.e. guys you'd never even heard of before. Stalkers?!) who sent emails and smses, called to see if I'd be interested had dwindled down to zero,and I was quite pleased that growing older did have a few perks. But now, it has started again and its so frustrating. I mean, what do these guys think? I'd just jump at the offer because I am 26 and single. And the worst part is that they pretend to be these really decent guys - I am sorry if I caused you mental agony - what crap! And they have the freaking nerve to get my number from wherever they do and call me up! Aaargh! I feel like slapping them around and handing them over to some torturers. Freaks!

Change

Imagine 2 kids, cousins, more like brother and sister. Born a couple of years and a couple of days apart. A lot like each other. Fast forward a few years - one has become a rigid conservative, while the other has stopped a few yards short of being a free spirit. And can't find a common spot to meet on.
