Randomness!

What can a lot of free time do to you?

Well at some point of time it will drive all your interest from internet, read F.A.C.E.B.O.O.K., and then you began checking updates on T.W.I.T.T.E.R (fine, I get it, you need internet for tweeting), where you realize that the people you are following have a combined IQ of 10 year olds - not including those child prodigies. . .

An insult to injury is when you get into serious stuff like contemplation..
------- What have I done to my life??
------- Where am I heading??
worse.. Why MBA??
and all such remotely related serious things..scary huh??

And there are moments when all that void in your life wants to bite your 'you know what'..

In an attempt to run away from your haunting conscience, you begin to think of a hobby like - walking a marathon, painting the campus red, sewing, knitting a sweater for your imaginary doggie, and blah-blah-blah!
Though your best option at hand could as well be your assignment, project submission, and the kindred..

You go on a wild geese chase to find the pink running (read walking) shoes, the red - oh! you call that red?? it ain't that red - paint, a portable sewing machine which you can carry in your hand baggage en-route to Ladhakh, knitting needles and wool in a city which has not seen winter since god knows when..(well I am living in God's own country) - the closest these people got to experiencing winter was in their AC rooms, and blah-blah-more-random-blah!

phew!

Now that you have chased every corner of the city - voted one of the best cities to live in (with ZERO success); you return to those vacant spaces again, look at all the possible deadlines and stare at your ceiling...

You do the slow walk backwards - in those crazy streets that sold - lip glosses, footwear, accessories, clothes and more clothes and even more clothes..to the day you entered into that dark room and put your bags in place - looking at the walls you said - there you go buddy for the next one year we are best friends and did I hear someone laugh? (yea it was my inner self) the next one year was definitely too much of a commitment because the next thing you know I was on my flight back to my hometown and the timing of that 'for the next one year' - i rather not comment on it, I barely spent 5hours each day in that room, which includes my daily beauty sleep!

The irony is when you look back - yes!! CONTEMPLATION time it is again - you do not look at the good things that are in store for you - like my BFF getting married on my convocation, so we look back only to realize - I missed my parents 25th anniversary..their silver jubilee..!
Now this kind of puts you in a deadlockish situation - wherein you can neither look forward nor backward, for the aforementioned reasons...so you start over and come to a point in your life where you were slapped with - W.H.Y. M.B.A?? :O

PS. Yes this is it, as the title suggests - randomly it shall end..!

Dedicated to INVADER - happy birthday! :)

How I read for my quiz?

What can an announced quiz can do to a poor soul?

You want to surprise me, then give me a gift voucher for Rs. 5,ooo; whoever told the B-school admin that surprise quizzes are considered with the same warmth as my previous reference, well they lied to you - outright. So as boringly predictable as it can get, I curse when there are surprise quizzes and I curse more when they are announced in advance. #paradox

One day before the announced quiz..
Leonnard: I had a weird night..
Sheldon: mine was great, am gonna be a mommy... #theBigBangTheory_ah!! I want more..

I planned to clean my desk, so that I can concentrate on the syllabus than on the dead grasshopper lying there for almost a week now. I realize that some fairy godmother is definitely helping me clean things faster, because the whole plan of cleaning the table for an hour failed as I finish wiping the desk's edge in sheer disbelief for the third time in a record 10 minutes. #doesn'tHappenWhile@home

Now that I know there is some divine intervention; I decided to change the bedspreads - 'coz one of the guys found my sober brown bedspread too non-feminine - so pink be it... Cleared the side table, washed my electric kettle, and the numerous mugs that I bought so that I can have cornflakes for breakfast without having to wash a mug, one for each day. #newRecordTimeSet: 15minutes

Now that I was bent upon spending my time desperately; I opened my wardrobe and decided to clean it up - the first time after I unpacked my bags in the month of June, for registering into the new year at college. Now I so wish that I recorded all this and sent the videos to the Guinness book for the new record time : 25minutes. #pinchMyselfRealHard..Ouch!

With all my attempts failing miserably, I finally decide to read after a sad dinner...
Attempted calls to complain about food quality to papa, the dearest and caly, the dumbest did not work.. #advisedToRead..
Open textbook; reading Bretton Woods System.. #boredAlready

Ha..Yea..! Everything..!

Enter Roomie, my savior - Somebody took my bucket from the washing area, this is it, am posting this on the hostel page.. #Yay
Don't worry you'll have my full support, call me when u are done posting it..
and there starts my train of thoughts, BYOB!! (BringYourOwnBuckets...) #whomWasIKidding??

Raajneeti - Politics... and Beyond


UTV Motion Pictures and Walkwater media present Prakash Jha Productions

RAAJNEETI - Politics... and Beyond

Director/Producer: Prakash Jha
Screenplay: Prakash Jha, Anjmu Rajaballi
Starring: Ajay Devgan, Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Nana Patekar, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpai
Much awaited Raajneeti hits the theaters. I have spent two solid weeks to plan when and where I shall watch this movie, and when the day arrived it seemed more like "Will I even make it??" Finally I had to take the call - evening show it is - thank god I had company, else this would have been another movie I planned to watch post Christmas..

The movie is about the impending elections - who gets to catch the big fish??

One family gets torn between power and ego. The aftermath is what this movie offers to the audience. Though the movie starts on the rebellious note, it was just like an impulse - it didn't last too long. Maybe it had to get buried to show that all that fight was rational... As one watches the movie - the language would take you back to your Mahabharath days, why the Mahabharath of all epic stories on DD, well as the story unravels on screen you get slight hints off the saga..
The performances were not loud - the surprise package however was Mr. Rampal - he will definitely get another best supporting actor nomination for this film.

The screenplay/ the story seemed predictable - YES!! you all can blame me for that - otherwise I think this was a nice, decent attempt on Raajneeti.. I did feel that many scenes had to go under the knife for making the movie less lengthy, thus leaving you confused as to how that part even made into the movie..

Go watch it - I don't know if it will cool the summers but this will definitely not set that dreaded heat..
