One fine afternoon while i was having lunch in the yuktahar, which btw has become the savior of students in the summer, it hit me.
Its a wonderful life! I can not recall when was the last time i felt so content with my life. I feel sated, for the first time in my life i am actually doing something i love, which might as well be being preoccupied with nothing, although i am working on what exactly it is. Maybe there were things before that charmed me ( physics? ) but never was the realization so ostensible. I have no immediate aspiration, no one to mordantly question me, no one to tell me what to do. For the first time in years, i am reading a book. Text that could hold me onto it or when i think about it, maybe because i want to read something after all these years is why i am finding it so good.
So basically here’s what is actually my life these days. I have started going to lab, a habit long forgotten after first year. I have a fine workspace where i keep my stuff and do “research”. When i come back i read LOTR. My younger brother is also here for the summer break. Saw him after an year. My room feels like heaven even in this scorching summer given that its on ground floor and i have a big cooler with good mats. Occasionally, i watch some movies which has become pretty infrequent nowadays because of the abundance of the tv shows that are much more entertaining than most of the movies.
Oh on this note, Big Nothing is a freaking awesome movie. It lay on my desktop for about two weeks before i watched it. Originally i did not expect much from it, actually i thought it would serve as a good stimulant for sleep. But it turned to be a wonderful surprise. Simon Pegg is hilarious and so is David Schwimmer. I wonder why we don’t see much of Schwimmer despite being a consummate actor.
A remarkable movie that i would sometime like to dedicate a post on: Closer (and so it is.., the song that mesmerizes me each and every frigging time i hear it). Actually i will post a comment that i wanted to post on a blog which talked about surreal ways to meet your life partner. Didn’t because of connection loss and since forgotten and … just found in a file while thinking on it now
Or you can’t stop looking at her as she is walking towards you on the sidewalk across the road. Your eyes cannot spot anything besides her in a swarm of people.
- The song “I can’t take my eyes off you” running in your hind-brain -Suddenly she’s hit by a car, falls down as she’s a few yards away from you. You rush upto her, take her head in your lap and check if she’s alright. And maybe its your affection that she wakes up, opens her eyes, gives a smile and says, “Hello, Stranger.” And you walk off with her.

Just to clarify, its not the “You’re too good to be true, can’t take my eyes off you” song. Its an even better song “Blower’s Daughter” by Damien Rice. I you want it, i have it on dc.
Btw LOTR has started to dawn on me with all the dreams and mindset. I guess i can’t do anything about it, its the ring that does everything!
Oh and..
Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein !
