Been watching quite a few movies lately...Saw "Troy" and was thoroughly impressed with Achilles, and the character he potrayed. Although honestly, I felt Helen could have been more prettier, perhaps...but then that's wishful thinking on my part. Hard to believe we are in March already. Seems like the year is slowly whizzing past. Ever travelled on a train across India? You await a particular station and then you don't realize it, but the station you had been waiting for, has already passed by. It becomes a past and then you look forward to your next destination. Just the kind of feeling you get when you go for a picnic,only to realize, when you seem to have begun enjoying, time whisks you by. Something similar with Life, isn't it? College, Love, School life, youth everything seems to be moving fast. And then we wish that the good old days were back, isn't it?
J is goin off for a couple of weeks. Now that is going to get me quite depressed for a while. Umm maybe not depressed, but I wud miss J for sure. Get too used to J sometimes, and take things for granted. But then, that's just me...
Had a fairly fierce argument on a friend's blog in the comments section so much so that the section now seems to be filling with arguments and counter arguments. Strange isn't it, how we consider even our friend's blog space as our own amphitheatre, to express our views. 'Intolerance has grown high due to the tolerant nature of our society', she claims. Well, what can I say? If one comes up with an argument like that, I better keep my silence.
Saw bits and pieces of the Indian hockey matches on TV. Seemed good, that there were a fairly large section of people interested in keeping track of Hockey's happenings. Im sure at least one in every two kids in the country would claim Cricket to be our national sport. Yet, Hockey is our national sport although, the present state of Indian hockey is pathetic to say the least. We should follow the australian model of sports. Selection only through merit. And above all, grooming at a very basic level. Unfortunately not many in our nation of over a billion people look up to Sports as a career choice. And honestly, i wouldn't blame them either. The present state of sports is in itself deplorable. Is privatisation the answer? Time will tell...
Indian Premier League is about to begin in a few days. Looking forward to the Indian version of the EPL (well almost...). Feels nice to see the crowds supporting home teams. Only hope that this doesn't take regionalistic tones..
Summer seems to be kickin in already and the days are getting hotter. Hoping for a decent summer this time around. I remember when we were kids, we used to pray for everything right from the Hot Summer to be mild, to praying for the Electricity to return when the fuse used to blow up. As of now, I guess we can restrict our prayers for a milder summer. Summer in the schooldays meant Holidaytime, Cricket in the hot outdoors, swimming in the deep blue seas ( they used to be blue back then), hunting in the jungles (for fruits and wild berries, did I mention?lol..) and above all Mangoes!!! Mangoes are apparently out in the market. God, when does the next one hit my taste buds. Im waiting...
The sea is at its best in summer. They say nothing beats the combination of the Sun, Sand and the Sea. Feeling the need of a nice outing, perhaps to the sea. When would that be? Hoping soon...
