Christmas weekend

The weekend started on friday itself. Showers from early morning brought down the temperature quite good.Office greeted me with scarce junta all busy chalking out the plans for the long weekend.I had no work whatsoever so was timepassing on laptop and doing my side of r&d of places to see in the long weekend. We( me being the only TCSer,other from other company but thankfully desis) had finally , after a weeklong debate on where to go , decided to go to our originally intended desination Sugar Moutain.Alright that sounds really cheesy but Amreekans do make cheesy names.eeew.
Anyways Friday i had decided to join the people who were going to other city to watch hindi/telugu movie.It would be the first indian movie (and theatre movie) in USof A. We started off at around 4 with conditions still overcast but pleasant.Since i was at the backseat, i managed to catch a gud nap while ignoring the telugu conversation(which i could not understand slightest other than few english words).A couple of hours later we were in the balaji temple. My first visit to a temple since god knows when. :D
After temple it was time to barge into the indian grocerie store. I shopped like crazy fellow picking out any recognizable stuff. each and every masala powder i could lay my hands on. Ended up buying a whole lots of stuff. It may last for couple of year maybe ..heheheh... paid the bills and stormed into the attached pakistani (indian) restaurant which greeted us with special EID buffet. I pleased my starved apetite with nice mutton and chicken and biryani while the tv played annoying pakistani comedy aarggghhhh ... we hurried our full (overstuffed ) bellys to the theatre..
by this time i was literally shivering from the chilly wind ... and the theare was warm with DESIs eveywhere around... although being just a minute from the show to start we managed to get the backseat .. and then saw Taare Zameen Par... A very nice movie indeed ... quite emotional .. i must admit... by this it was 1 am .. and we cruised back to our city ... 5 min into the highway and i was dozing ...
A veeer to the right shook me off from the slumber and found that my friend Kishore who was driving the car had taken an exit for gas.. and then decided not to take gas at that time ... now trying to find the way back we somehow took a wrong turn...and then we went into a rural patch with narrow road and crawling speed .. finally Kishore decided to swithch on the GPS .. and after 10 miles more we were back into the highway .. about 3.30 i reached home.
Saturday i slept most of the time intermittenly watching movies and SCRUBS :D ... and downloading more movies .. ( about 10 GB ) ... Ranjit ( my senior here) invited me for the dinner .. had rice with shrimp curry .. amazing ... Deepesh (Satyam guy) and i took pics ( at 11 pm chilling nite) infront of a decorated apartment and then headed for a short slumber before waking up at 5........to be continued in the next ... gotta have pulao !! :D

More on scrubs

Last week i saw about 30 episodes of Scrubs.
Reason being i had nothing else on my worklist. experiencing the camaraderie and conjunction of the character in that fictional world . The use of single camera make feel like i am roaming in that hospital. The comedy is implicit and not forced on to the audience ( with laughter tracks ... sucks) ...

More about JD
He is a intelligent intern who has a single-and-ready-to-mingle-but-not-open-to-committments attitude with his life. Loves to dig with his closest people and doesnt have a disregard to anyone. (No Malice at all) . Pure feeling which flows to him .. straight forward ...

Turk
He is a brilliant surgeon who has a clear vision to life and childish.

Major thing noticeable is that ... life is so full of things and events ... it doesnt needs to be made complex to understand it... just take them as they come .... as curt said "Come as you are ..... " .......

Songs Again

I was browsing facebook when i hit upon this song. (About a month back and i am still hooked on to this song)

What an amazing song which shows the fallability of a person and its dependency on others ( friends and family). Each word makes a sense and helps identify the weakness in oneself and the bonds that we share with people who are close to you.

We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easier to identify.Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness;We'll make a pact to never speak that word again
Yes you are my friend.

We all have something that digs at us,
At least we dig each other
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday

If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.


We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how hard we try.
We all have someone that digs at us,
At least we dig each other
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine.

If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.

Oh each other....
When everythingElse is gone

Songs

Songs ... its a food for thought .. :)

u just need to tune the songs to match the exact mood. And its rather subconscious which picks up the song according to the mood ( moods which are incredibly hard to bring to words ).

these days listening to vintage song while working has become a habit.

i am the son and the hier
of the shyness thats criminally vulgar
i am son and hier
of nothing in particular

....


i am human and i need to be loved
just like everyone else..

Damm good lyrics.... with super guitar riffs which fill the emptyness of the brain. It slowly creeps in echoing through the corridors of the skull ... and yeah it doesnt rock you even for a moment... Silent killler .. so much of anger/passion ...


The other songs thats ringing is

Baby we were making straight As
But we were stuck in dumb days
Dont much to memorise ur lines ....

And if you want to be the teacher'spet
you better forget....
rock got no reason .. rock got no rhym
you better get schoool in time ...

......


the U2+AC/DC kindish song is to go beyond normal .. be a maverick ......going beyond words .. rock it !!

These are very common songs and thats why havent put names of these songs...

Scrubs - Time Pass

These days my after office days are spent in watching scrubs online. I picked this show when i cam here last time and had a tv in the hotel room. The story goes with the perspective of a person who has a set of close friends.

funny thing that he day dreams things around him which are seriously goddam funny to the extreme.

His thoughts ( comments made by himselves on his/other's actions,possiblity) are in term very practical but does exactly the opposite। That is pretty close to what i do other way around. Action first and then muster on that action.

And there are so many things which i enjoy watching scrubs.
1.The camaraderie of JD and turk. ( reminds me of few of my best buds ..wouldnt name them but guys u know who are u ) . They behave like as if they dont give a damm to what other think of them. They are professional and dont take office home.They have blast anytime anymoment. They make fun of each other anytime. And the best thing ... They know each other which keeps them best buddies.

2.JD and Dr Cox : Mentor and the disciple. Couldnt get better.

3. ...cant think of more at this moment .. but u gotta watch it and u will get into the setup.
