Normalcy is also good

Ciao, Salut, Vanakkam, Namaskaar, Namashkaar and hello to everyone. A week has flown by. It hasn’t exactly been interesting or dull. I guess you get these days interspersed with good and bad days. Oh boy. I suck at introductions. Please bear with me!

Ethnic day at office
Today ethnic day was celebrated at my workplace. I didn’t participate or anything. My reason was quite obvious. So I just observed others enjoy themselves. People had made a lot of effort for today. Lots of people came in kurtas, pajamas, sarees, ghagra cholis and more. One guy turned out quite shrewd. He brought his attire in his bag, hoping to judge the scene. On seeing that there was company for him, he wore kurta pajamas. Nice move, man. Onto the ladies now, where adjectives might become insufficient. Mind you I am very picky about my adjectives and I really mean them. One lady who came in a saree was looking absolutely gorgeous. When I saw her, I was stunned. This doesn’t happen to me much, running out of adjectives at an instant. Happened today though. Great. Another woman in saree I thought looked bellissimo. I wanted to praise her beauty by saying something good (I had it in my mind, but I can’t remember it now :P ) Instead I mumbled,”Oho, kya baat h! Traditionals!” Damn! That was bad. One more woman in Ghagra Choli looked amazing. Keep it up, ladies. (If it wasn’t clear already, I am not judging any person based on their looks. I’m merely making an observation.)

Wazir
I watched Wazir on Sunday. If you haven’t watched the movie, and plan to watch it, skip this paragraph. Massive spoilers ahead! Wazir was good. No doubt about it. The amount of attention paid to the little details was very impressive. The suspense was built quite well. But I was disappointed due to its similarity with Kahaani (one of the best movies I have seen.) A point comes where you feel, “I know the story ahead.” So that kinda spoiled the fun for me. I think it was the first time I had watched a movie and my roommates hadn’t. Overall a good movie, but if you have seen Kahaani, consider revising your plan.

Cooking
I like to cook. I tried cooking roti sabji on Sunday. I planned just for myself though. The curry I had in my mind was moong. I steamed moong along with potatoes. Then I fried the two with masala and salt to taste. But it didn’t come off as I had hoped. There is definitely room for improvement.


The usual updates
This time surprisingly I have stagnated at all three of my pastimes. I’m stuck at a place in keyboard, not really getting enough time for Italian and French, and haven’t finished the novel yet. I will have progress next week though.


It is very cold here today. Brrr.That is it, folks. Enjoy your day. I hope you got something out of my tiny yet hard-thought blog post. Until next time! Bye, shabbakhair,nantar bhetu, varein, au revoir and ciao!.

Movie review: English Vinglish

I might be 6 years late, but here is my review of this Bollywood movie, starring Sridevi. Directed by Gauri Shinde, this film tackles some This film is freakin' awesome! I can't believe I hadn't watched this movie before. And if you haven't watched it, I suggest you clear out your calendar for tomorrow and grab some popcorn. This is mostly a serious movie, but the lighter moments are well placed, and make great viewing. The plot, the dialogues, the screenplay, everything is perfect. This movie is worth paying big bucks to watch on the big screen, unlike me, who watched it 6 years late on a 14 inch touchscreen. Sridevi is absolutely mesmerizing. Her acting in this movie is one of the best acting performances I have ever seen. When you watch her, her struggles become yours. You feel her happiness and sadness. You want her to do well. You want her to show the world, how much she can accomplish. Anything more I say here will be spoilers for the few people w...

Going home, Pune trip and more

                Hola! Long time since I wrote anything, and here I am writing two posts. With so much happening, I have barely had time to breathe, least of all write a blog. Even today I just found time, because I am in a train, bound towards Kalyan, taking me away from Hyderabad for a deserved break from the mundane.                 I had to make an extremely difficult choice, one that I did not want to nor that agrees with my nature. But facing the truth is better than being under a delusion, only to be disappointed at the end. I cannot give keyboard exam this time. L (Sobbing inside) I am just too underprepared, and frankly, I have heavier things on my plate. The teacher thought 3 months would be enough, even I felt so. But it wasn’t meant to be. The exam comes too early for me, and I, despite wanting to, cannot practice and perfect the syllabus on time to p...

Robin Hood Army

18th October 2018 10:30 pm: I get a call saying there is food for more than 50 people left over at a function organized in a residential complex. I am tired after a long day but I decide to go anyway. I call a guy who has reached there, and he says he needs more people. I reach the complex and see the amount of food left over, and it is for more than 150 people! Thankfully we were 5 people, and we were able to get an auto to the place where we knew there would be a lot of people to donate the food to. We went 12km to the place, at 12 in the night, and served the food among the slum dwellers, auto-wallahs, and others. We took more time to wake people up from sleep and let them know that there is food than distributing the food itself. That day we would have served around 150 people, people who otherwise would have gone to sleep on an empty stomach. Distributing food at midnight Who are we? We are Robin Hood Army, a volunteer organization which focuses on donating excess...
