Hyderabad Trip - Day 1 - 27th October 2006

Day 1: 27th October 2006

We were all ready to go. At college, I met Cindy in the morning at about 9. Not many people had arrived, even though we were scheduled to leave at 10am sharp. We went to the food court and got some snacks to have along the way. At around 10, everyone was in the bus, excluding one girl. We waiting for this woman to come till 11:30! The whole schedule was screwed up.
Time: 1:45 pm
We're on the Goa-Karnataka border in bus, and everyone's panicking. The engine is releasing a lot of smoke and Tracy is really scared. She wants to get out. The volunteers have told us to calm down and sit in one place till the engines fixed.
We reached Belgaum at 2:30pm, and had a great Lunch at this Hotel they booked for us. From there, we caught a train at about 3. It was a lot of fun hauling the luggage onto the train and finally getting on the move. It was quite a blast!
In the train, we had Biryani for Lunch (I HATE Biryani, but I'm not picky, so I had a little). The food portions were enough to fill elephants! I swear! No exaggeration! Later at night (still in the train of-course), Ishan, Teli, me, Trace, Venessa, Genevieve, Cindy, Ian, Ohin, Leane and Karl played dumbsheeraz. It was too much fun!!! Phir Ian played the guitar for u, and we sang. There was no time to read my book! We were playing till 10 pm, and then everyone was forced to get back to their compartments and go back to sleep. I went right to the top bunk to sleep! I slept really well! Cindy was talking in her sleep though! Hehe!

Journalling!

I've heard that journalling is a nice way to keep a record of one's experiences so that we can later recall, learn and introspect, and that's it's also a form of meditation where we can clear our minds before heading to bed. I have a horrible habit of starting things and never finishing them; the list of these things is so long that I don't even know where to begin. Journalling is one of them. It's a habit I want to cultivate for myself and see if it provides enrichment to my life in any way. I also have a horrible memory, so this way I can always refer back to the thoughts and ideas floating in my brain and dump them out here to make it the world's problem :P Since I don't have a lot of followers I welcome you all to unfollow if I get too boring. Making this public is an easy way for me to stick to it and be consistent. So let me start off by talking about how my day/week has been. Since the beginning of the lockdown in India because of Covid19, my ro...

Girlfriend: And are you sure you love me and no one else? Boyfriend: Dead Sure! I checked the whole list again yesterday Waiter: Would you like your coffee black? Customer: What other colors do you have? Manager: Sorry, but i can't give you a job. I don't need much help. Job Applicant: That's all right. In fact I'm just the right person in this case. You will see, I won't be of much help anyway!! Dad: Son, what do you want for your birthday? Son: Not much dad, Just a radio with a sports car around it. Diner: I can't eat such a rotten chicken. Call the manager! Waiter: It's no use. He won't eat it either. Diner: You'll drive me to my grave! Waiter: Well, you don't expect to walk there, do you?

If no one claims it within three days, you can keep it. Father: Your...

The Circle Review

27th July 2017 When I saw the trailer for Circle something like a year ago, it seemed pretty interesting, something similar on the lines of Black Mirror. As the film progressed I only noticed how bad the writing, direction and acting was (despite the renowned cast). There was an obvious, in your face message of the dangers of a world surrounded by surveillance and a lack of ‘privacy’ in a futuristic digital world. The main character Mae’s decisions are so contradictory to her established personality, she feels very superficial and unrelatable. Her actions seem to be without motive or any prior driving force.   The very apparent difference between a series like Black Mirror and a film like Circle, is that the former allows room for question of ethics and basic human rights. It provokes deep thought and discussion. I guess they intended to present a larger-than-life social commentary on the ‘dangers of technology’ but instead leave you absolutely disappointed with...
