Its a Wonderful Life :)

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 !

Kaanta!

Yes, right its kaanta (thorn, for the unitiated). Before proceeding further, let me present it to you.

This bloody thing resided in my right slipper for about an year and a half. But as many people know that i do not like “jhanjhat wale kaam”, i never tried to take it out because it only registered its presence when i stepped on a stone at a particular angle. Actually the fact that i could only “feel” it and never see it even on checking my slipper through every angle god has ever made, added to this decision. But by god every time i did “feel” it, someone screamed at the top of her voice …inside my head, “Kaanta Lagaaaaaaa !!” and i used to get super angry like the ghayal dude here.

Well, it got into my foot again about 4 days back. And this time somehow i felt that this relationship should be ended. Since i’m not deft at such things, i asked batra to help me out and he obliged. So he and I set on the task with all our might.

Now since a tweezer is not an easy find in OBH, we decided to go after it with a safety pin and a nail cutter. After about 15 minutes of meticulous abrading, scraping and groping on the slipper for the thorn, we finally caught glimpse of it and then as i help the slipper tight, batra managed to get the thorn out with the nail cutter.

This pic will help you in face of a similar situtaion.

Although, i felt jubilant for a while, i felt kinda sad at the prospect of not having to watch out for that angle. Like, some weird kind of bondage will not be there anymore.

PS: Used macro mode for the first time for the thorn.

PS1: One more exam to finish off the eighth semester.

PS2: Is there anyway to not moderate the comments ?

Turning Point !

There had been so many events in the past two years that i wanted to blog about, but just didn’t because i did not feel like getting a blog after a previous blosxom attempt on students which btw was done as a part of learning perl !

But today is the moment i cannot resist sharing my happiness with you people. I don’t care if you know me or not, just be happy for me . So cutting short,

” After 21 and a half years of my life, finally, I can whistle !! “

Wanna hear a sample? come to my room! OBH-145.

This is really a big relief. All these years of not whisting.. man! Ever since i first watched “Dil To Pagal Hai” , i just wanted to whistle that famous SRK whistle. Re-watching it was like, “what the hell is wrong with me?” Just a day before yesterday, we’re having dinner in mess and Dinkar whistles it and my inside went berserk. I thought, “man! i’m going to kill myself if i don’t learn it soon”.

This happened in my school once ,

Two Beautiful Girls: Bharat, you don’t whistle at girls..

ME: yeah.. i’m a good guy .. Its cheap to do that..

ME (now): How about this.. –whistle– haan? haan? …

How it happened

In my room, thinking about it. Found this. Trying it, tiring my tongue. Then all of a sudden, I heard it ! And i recalled that scene from Amadeus, where Salieri says “Gracias Signore” ..

PS: Well, making this blog will also allow me comment with a url and not getting moderated..

PPS: Now that i have made it, i’ll probably blurt out all those things which i earlier didn’t .. So keep checking..

Adios..
