Aaaaarrrrghhhhh...

The last week of my life has been such a useless waste of time. Doing the same routine sec after sec is such a tiring activity. Let me list it down for the unlucky souls who may be reading it

  • Get up at 7
  • Wake up and wonder why it gets dawn by that time.
  • Brush the teeth long enough to make it the winning entry in any contest at any point of time and curse that the hair is soo curly after sleeping.
  • Try to off load some stake in the physical equity which is very tough doing so in the place of disinvestment that is very new.
  • Take a bath that would put a bird to shame.
  • Dress up like a Barbie doll.
  • Eat dosas.
  • Start leaving for work with the ever efficient hari on his bike till RS Puram.
  • Take the silly 7 route which believes in going around the world in 30mins to go till race course that is 10mins away.
  • Open the only computer in which the interesting network is available.
  • Log on to google, personalized home (Sic.), check the horoscope and hope that the present and future at least is good on the net.
  • Go to gmail and check all the new irrelevant mails that monster throws out as search.
  • Open the official mail id and know beforehand that boss will surely not taken any decision on the mail that you sent him 4 days back.
  • Open orkut and scrap all the half lings that are on your friend list.
  • Open icicidirect and see how your scrips are doing.
  • Then open all the bank accounts and hope that some billionaire ship tycoon in Greece who has no children found out that you are genetically related to him and deposits about 300billion dollars.
  • Then wait for the pitiful co workers to turn up who jus don’t seem to like to talk in any other language than Bengali.
  • Eat the most wonderful tea, courtesy the client.
  • Look at every woman who passes by and think of a statement that suits her.
  • Close yourself from the rest of the world, Start listening to music.
  • Read all the silly documents that you have managed to seek and save all your life.
  • Go to annapuarana and eat at 1.30 sharp
  • Have the next wonderful cup of coffee, courtesy again the client.(some best coffees and teas come down south)
  • Then do the google till bank account part again.
  • Start to think of leaving at 4 sharp.
  • Start packing the bags by 5.30 sharp.
  • Do the google to icici part by 6.30.
  • Take the 7 service again and go till RS Puram to meet hari.
  • You know he’s gonna be late so try and hog some ice creams in bon bon.
  • Meet up with the guys by around 8.30 ish and start the debate on where and what to eat.
  • Eat and go home by 11.

Whoever said time is precious should try and take some time from me for free. Every passing day seems to be like floating in outer space in search of a galaxy that was lost some 1000 light years ago. End of this sojourn im mostly gonna end up as philosophical and irrititable like Aristotle or Socrates. Worse I guess this routines gonna continue for a loooonnnggg time.

The Covenant

I did go to the movie expecting it to be in an interesting thriller/horror genre, what it finally turned out to be was a bunch of good looking teens in the shortest of clothes in ill edited action scenes, no screenplay and the worst possible emotional dialogues(sic.).

I always believe that the first impression is the best impression. The first scene did start of as expected, amazingly choreographed sequence with an interesting background score called “More human than human” by White Zombie. I have always been a fan of heavy metal music and I have this new found fascination for something called punk rock. This is that sort of a song that hits you hard and makes your skin stand at its end. Add the sequence to it; this is not a scene to be missed.

The rest of the movie is not even worth talking about.

Well, the story goes like this. In the 1600’s few families from Ipswich run away for their lives from England and settle down in America, guess for what? They are witches dumbo. So they have this treaty or covenant or whatever in which they decide that they shut their mouth and not use their powers. So there is this black sheep family that breaches this code of conduct and the present descendant decides to show off his powers and become the strongest of them all by taking all of the hero’s powers (you jus need to say “I give all my powers to…..”’, just like you sign a will, simple). The good witches don’t like it; the hero fights the villain, kills him, and takes the girl, end of story.

These seven lines take 1.3hrs to be represented in the movie.ywaaannnn….

I sometimes admire the story telling capabilities of these directors. I recommend that they include a separate category in the Oscars every year for such movies. Suggestions for the names are most welcome.
