चित्त विश्राम्यतां - Resting my mind !

Work has been busy, there is a critical case in progress, yet not so busy, since the issue does not happen very easily and there is not enough data to debug.

My mind still continues to be busy, lot of thoughts cris-crossing, mostly focused , on what I am going to do soon in life and some random. And I am blogging now means, there are random thoughts flying by.

I have been keeping myself busy, even during my free time these days. It is important that I am doing that, since my friends I catch up with during these free times are no longer around. Even if they are, they are all busy too ! I am still catching up with one of them, since I have started to hit the gym. I have had enough of feeling unhealthy and seeing nine in the tens place on the weighing scale. Seeing Srinath occasionally is all the more inspiring. Two weeks of gymming has bought eight in the tens place, but I still see nine in the units place :(

Looking forward to friends coming down from Mumbai during Diwali. There will probably be a trip and I want to do a really well planned one this time. When I mean well planned
, I want to foresee most importantly the dry days :)

Auxiliary fun in life is thoroughly enjoyable only if the main line is settled, calm and collected. Lot of work ahead, especially to feel the contentment I want to experience starting August , 2010.

Climbing up hill, but I have company.

एकोहम

I came into office, fresh. The climate was gloomy, but my mind was still fresh ! I was coming back after a long weekend. I had a gala time, all by myself. Did not meet a single soul, just me and my parents at home. It might sound depressing, but I loved it.

Well coming back, I came to my cube. I was early as usual and there was nobody else. Everybody around me was taking off further, on the occasion of another long weekend coming up. i thought it will be a miserable day at work. But I liked it as well.

I probably have to realize what the picture says some day. May be not solo, but just with a
n elite few alter ego's.

Hope this happens some day and I am as invisibly happy as this person in this picture is.

ThanDe - MagaLu

I finally saw the movie Abhiyum Naanum ( Tamil ) / Aakaashamanta ( telugu ) during the Dussera festive season. Yes, I saw both versions. I don't know why, but I simply loved the movie. It was fun, it was real and very well made. Most characters in the movie, including Prakash Raj, play villain roles. I must say, the entire team did a wonderful job in their respective roles.

Prakash Raj, needless to say is a wonderful actor, but he did an excellent job with such a soft role. Trisha, did a great job as well. I especially liked the scene where she confronts Prakash Raj and tells him that she is disappointed with him, the reason being his behavior after she reveals that she is in love with a Punjabi.

More than the movie, I loved the essence. It had a unique flavor and it had a unique interpretation. Father's and daughters are always very attached. There is something unique there, but what it brought along was a philosophy of the ephemeral things in life. There is this element of possessiveness in every relationship that people simply fail to recognize it. We generally find it very hard to let go, gracefully, things that are very dear to us, whether it is a substance without life or a person.
