Tere mere saath jo hota hai, baat samajh mein aati nahin

Roomie was quite moved by this and gave it almost full score: Hotel Rwanda‘s fantastic, do take out some time and give it a watch. Next, as suggested by Z, finally watched Requiem for a Dream - am blown away. The cinematography was absolutely brilliant, no doubts there. Great shots with a fantastic soundtrack to support. Must see.
Obviously and finally, to cater for the weak-hearted like myself, there had to be a balancing act and on the recommendation of F, Wedding Crashers was it.
(Did I mention it’s final exam week?)

Fingers that type too much forget how to write.

Does that qualify as a quote? God knows. If it does, remember the name. Anyway, seen it happen to dad and never really thought it was possible until I actually thought about the past quarter. Taking notes in class used to be fun. Fun? Ok, not exactly fun, but easy to say the least. Especially if you like to write and don’t really care about the legibility of what you’ve written.

The finger that types too much knows not how to write.

Bahh. Right now the finger that types knows no longer what to type.

Bang bang.
My baby shot me down.

How’s it going to be?

You really have to understand, we’re constantly going through it. I mean, HOW can it just be a temporary phase? It’s continually there, if not nagging in the back of your head, then so-obviously-slapped on your forehead.
Actually, in our case, it’s just always so obviously-slapped on our heads, so deal.

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Alex ask Marty (or vice versa) something along the lines of :
‘You’re not so good with the whole putting-the-words-together-and-them-coming-out-right thing are you?”
[Madagascar]

Ending this long long post with the following piece, which was inspired by a presentation, a highly recommended course and of course, the mystery that will eternally remain – our country:
Tum a’o gulshan – e- Lahaur se chaman bardosh
Hum a’en subh e Banaras ki raushni le kar
Himalayas ki havaon ki tazgi le kar
Phir uske baad yeh puchen ke kaun dushman hai
You come covered with flowers from the
Garden of Lahore
We bring to you the light and radiance of
the morning of Banaras,
the freshness of the winds of the Himalayas
And then we ask who the enemy is.
[Ali Sardar Jafri]

Double sigh.
What little we know of our past, our culture, our surroundings, our religion, our people…our reality is quite frightening.

With that level of mentality, it’s not surpising that our today is what it is right now. Moreover; that really says a lot about the kind of futures we’re getting ourselves into.
