Fortnight update - I

IPL fever is back once again.I dont know if it holds the same hype as it did last year.I havent watched one match this season so I am guessing I can do without it.Last time I watched most of the matches,had a few silly bets,went to the Koramangala indoor stadium to watch the finals on the big screen.This time,I dont feel the same.I dont favour any particular team but I really hope Kolkata knight riders give some good comeback.After all the effort and pain SRK has put/gone thru it would be nice to see them reach finals for his sake alone.I am okay with anything.I can imagine the scene back in the bms hostel.Throughout the match there will be betting and beers! Thats all that happens throughout the ipl season,the nearby bars make money and individual pockets turn inside out! I am glad I am not part of the hostel madness anymore.Phew!

I havent had a relief in my daily schedule but yet I make time now to check on my small fish tank and make sure I watch Travel and Living with a Superstar - Shahrukh Khan every friday at 9pm.Thats the only time I watch tv in a week.I never go near the tv otherwise and I am very sure that after 7 weeks once the series is over I will not go back to watching tv again.It doesnt interest me these days especially when I can watch movies on the laptop.

8th semester project is still a pain in the ass.Whoever told me 8th sem is easy, seriously what were you thinking?! That you have just 4 subjects instead of 8 or that you have to attend classes only thrice a week?! Which part of the last semester is good?! The only thing I can think of right now is the proposed Goa trip happening with classmates.Nothing else is interesting and the much awaited BMS fest too wont be worth the wait.I think we had a set of great seniors who took the Utsav fest seriously.For now, let Utsav happen in bangalore and I will go back to re-live Goa.

Last time I returned from Goa, I always had the thought that it must happen again.There is something about that place that keeps playing in your head.It maybe the calm beaches,the narrow roads that lead to the beaches,the crowd,the shacks,etc.Few years later I want to get up one morning,pick up a handful of friends and say 'We are going to Goa' , total Dil Chahtha hai style.Damn but I dont have a Mercedes convertible,like the one Aamir khan drove! I'll manage with some car then.

If I had more than 24 hours a day, I would really appreciate that at this point of time.I wanted to re-start my habit of reading but I still havent made time for that.I pick up a newspaper in the morning and then manage to read it throughout the day in the canteen/class/bus journeys.I find the Economic times and the Financial Chronicle more interesting to read than the Times of India.Few classmates thought that part was a little weird.Maybe I am too tired going thru pages of Bangalore times page 3 parties that I totally gave up on reading the main newspaper as well.I have this book by title 'Chicken Soup',its a set of short stories.I am yet to start on that,right now I'll just finish the Mens health magazine I picked up last week.

I watched this tamil movie at home.
Vinaythaandi Varuvaya,sweet movie! Something toally different,the climax I thought was great.Not the usual predicted ending,it was a great watch.
I was told that is was way better than Varaanam Ayiram.I dont think so but yeah I would rate this movie a decent 4/5.AR Rahman music definitely adds to the credit!

I'll post maybe after I am done with my internals and prior to Goa trip.
Till then , sayonara!
