  • Laree Choote

    Nice song – From Ek Chalis Ki Last Local (which has some pretty interesting scenes as I found out last night at Ojas’).

    जो होता है अच्छे के लिए होता है
    ग़लत केहते है …
    किस्मत का खेल है सारा
    फिरता था में आवारा
    ये क्या से क्या हो गया
    चार दिन की ज़िंदगानी
    हैर पल एक नई कहानी
    क्या था में क्या बन गया
    क्या हुआ जो लारी छूटी
    जीवन की गाड़ी लूटी
    ख्वाब है तो मुझको ना जगा
    ज़िंदगी एक पल में साली
    यूँ पलट गई हुमारी
    झूठ है तो मुझको ना बता
    मुंबई ..सुना था यहाँ आदमी
    पूरी ज़िंदगी अपनी किस्मत स्लोव ट्रक्क से फ़ास्ट ट्रक्क लाने में निकल देता है
    पेर ढाई घंटे में मेरी किस्मत
    ऐसे स्लोव ट्रक्क से फ़ास्ट ट्रक्क पर
    आ जाएगी ये मैने कभी सोचा नही था
    सज़ा मज़ा बन जाएगी
    ये भी कभी सोचा नही था
    लास्ट लोकल क्या छूटी
    साला किस्मत पटरी पर आगाई
    कर लो जो भी करना है
    होता है जो होना है
    गुज़रा तो पल ये फिर ना आएगा
    क्या बुरा है क्या भला है
    वक़्त ही शायद खुदा है
    हो जाने दो फिर देखा जाएगा
    क्या हुआ जो लारी छूती
    जीवन की गाड़ी लूटी
    ख्वाब है तो मुझको ना जगा
    ज़िंदगी एक पल में साली
    यूँ पलट गई हुमारी
    झूठ है तो मुझको ना बता
    वो केहते हैं ना
    जो होता है अच्छे के लिए होता है
    सही केहते हैं

  • Things on my desk

    We have shifted from our original location to a newer and uninhabited island of a place. Anyways, wanted to write down what is on my desk at the moment.

    2. Clocks – Coldplay
    3. Calvin & Hobbes
    4. Snap of STAR-PLUS at Indijoes (a lovely restaurant on Airport Road) in Bangalore just before the Rehman concert (which is another amazing story)
    5. Something there is that doesn’t love a wall – Akanksha
    6. Hugh Macleod
    7. If – Rudyard Kipling
    8. Daffodils – William Wordsworth
    9. Mending Wall – Robert Frost
    10. Sabka Katega – bodhiTree

    Other than these I have a laminated copy of a Charles Swindoll saying and some work related stuff.

  • Gen post

    Sometimes I think that humans are born for doing one thing – crib. We are never satisfied. And I am a shining example.

    When I have work, which has been the case for the past one and a half months, I crib. In fact, the last month or two have been crazy, but extremely pleasing also. We have immense amount of work and a very very narrow deadline to meet. But then, there is the satisfaction of seeing our group at the top again. Right where it belongs. The entire team (minus me) has been working very very hard and I am so grateful that they are on the project, which makes my work so damn easy. Though I have not complimented them on their faces, I think (hope at least!!) they know that I appreciate their work a lot and that they have been great. Thanks guys, would not have been possible without your help and hard work!

    When I don’t have work, like the last couple of days (due to shifting of places), I crib. I was almost bored to death today. Kuch nahi kiya din bhar and I was reminded of how horrible life would be without work. I mean weekends are fun because the week is hectic. So here I am writing a post to describe the extreme state of vettiness I am in, which might drastically change within a couple of days depending on a pending approval from one of the clients.

    Anyways, I have also been doing a lot of other things. Watching Heroes, Studio 60,  Southpark, and a lot of movies.

    Heroes is a series about normal guys with superpowers and their mission to save the world. However, it is only reccomended if you are a comic book fan. It is extremely well made and very engrossing. I watched close to 12, 40 mins, episodes over a span of two days. And now I need to download newer episodes 🙂 Oh, by the way, Ali Larter is so damn sexy!!!

    Studio 60, is a nice comedy series, starring Matt (Matthew Perry) and Jordan (Amanda Peet). Other major characters are Danny (Bradley Whitford) , Harriet (Sarah Paulson) and Simon Stiles (DL Hughley). Now Perry is at his sarcastic best and romance is brewing (once again) between him and Harriet. Meanwhile Jordan is the head of a broadcasting network and is a very nice person and Danny is in love with her. Man, you should check out the scene where he proposes to her (I saw it last night), very chic!!

    Southpark is a totally kick ass comedy cartoon series, making fun of the American pop culture. Must watch!!

    Coming to movies. I have finally seen Apocalypto – short review, nothing great. I have also seen The Last King of Scotland – awesome. Also, I saw this wierd movie called A Scanner Darkly, nice but wierd, and the rotoscoping is awesome.

    All the movies and TV series courtesy Akshat, an awesome bloke in my group.

  • I think I need counselling!!

    I thought that the regular counselling sessions I heard of after any incident in the West to cope with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder was slightly an overhype, but gave them a benefit of the doubt. Maybe they weren’t used to any sort of trauma in life.

    But this one takes the cake. Oh come on!!
