My ill fate with 'The River'
I'm worse than the much cursed king 'Santanu' from 'Mahabharat' in handling Ganga.
This is the fourth time I went their to shoot sunset and come back with nothing. Last time it was the rain and this time some frigging 'michil' delayed me by one hour. By the time I reached Princep Ghat the sun was already down.
I came back with these two.
and finally my Wrath Quotient. I thought I'm much more revenge seeking person that this. Hmph.

| Your Wrath Quotient: 46% |
 Ouch! You've got a bit of a temper going on there, don't you? Just make sure to keep your revenge fantasies just that... fantasies only! |

Photoshooting Spree
Had an exciting day. My new baby is a wonder, wish it can do better at the night.
Loads of wastage of water and then the shot.
I call it 'Suspended Animation'
and then this 'Early morning rain and the 'togor' in my garden'

Railway Tracks and Marriage
"While I was in US I went to the train station the other day and learned that the distance between railway tracks is always 143.5 centimeters or 4 feet 8.5 inches. Why this absurd measurement ? I found out that when they built the first train carriages, they used the same tools as they had for building horse-drawn carriages. And why the distance between the wheels on carriages ?Because that was the width of the old roads along which the carriages had to travel. And who decided that roads should be that width ? Well, suddenly, we are plunged back into the distant past. It was the Romans, the first great road builders, who decided to make their roads that width. And why ? Because their war chariots were pulled by two horses, and when placed side by side, the horses they used at the time took up 143.5 centimeters.
So the distance between the tracks I saw, used by state-of-the-art high speed trains, was determined by the Romans. When people went to United States and started building railways there, it didn't occur to them to change the width and so it stayed as it was. This even affected the building of space shuttles. American engineers thought the fuel tanks should be wider, but the tanks were built in Utah and had to be transported by train to the space center in Florida, and the tunnels couldn't take anything wider. And so they had to accept the measurement that the Romans had decided were ideal. But what has all this to do with marriage ?
It has everything to do with marriage. At some point in history, someone turned up and said: when two people get married, they must stay frozen like that for rest of their lives. You will move along side by side like two tracks, keeping always that distance apart. Even if sometimes one of you needs to be a little further away or little closer, that is against the rules. The rules say : be sensible , think of the future, think of your children. You can't change, you must be like two railway tracks that remain the same distance apart all the way from their point of departure to their destination. The rules don't allow for love to change, or to grow at the start and diminish halfway through-it's too dangerous. And so, after the enthusiasm of the first few years, they maintain the same distance, the same solidity, the same functional nature. Your purpose is to allow the train bearing the survival of the species to head off into the future: your children will only be happy if you stay just as you were - 143.5 centimeters apart. If you're not happy with something that never changes, think of them, think of the children you bought into the world.
Think of the neighbours. Show them that you're happy, eat Chinese on Sundays, watch television, help during community pujas. Think of society: dress in such a way that everyone knows you're in perfect harmony. Never glance to the side, someone might be watching you and that could bring temptation, it could mean divorce, crisis, depression.
Smile in all the photos. Put the photos in the living room, so that everyone can see them. Go to gym, practice a sport, oh yes you must practice a sport in order to stay frozen in time. When sport isn't enough have plastic surgery. But never forget, these rules were established long ago and must be respected. Who established these rules ? That doesn't matter. Don't question them, because they will always apply, even if you don't agree with them."

Divine Day
What a day. Morning show for the first time in life. Two consecutive movies. Breakfast and lunch inside the movie hall. Sports bar-booze, pool, fussbal and my usual spilling drink all over. Sudden shopping spree. Getting along so well with her and feeling so comfortable. The laughter, the pervert talks, the competition during the games, felt so much at ease.
"My day was good, let night fall."
"My day was good, let night fall."

Forbidden Question
"Nobody should ever ask themselves that : why am I unhappy ? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy."

Six more reasons to shoot me
"Each player of this game starts with 6 weird things about him or herself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own as well as state the rule clearly. In the end, you need to tag 6 people as well and list their names. Remind them that they've been tagged!"
6 weird things about me:
1. I'm horribly fascinated by people who sings, paints and writes well. I always get swept over by people who can do what I always wanted to do in my life.
2. I am obsessively attracted towards people who have these dark shades in their character. People who are mystic, unpredictable, moody, impossible to know, hard to handle fascinates me. Its almost like a 'fatal attraction'.
3. I tend to enjoy being hurt by people I love. I guess I'm masochistic in nature.
4. I'm a gadget freak. I love collecting electronic gadgets, CDs, DVDs. Hi-end electronics is a huge turn-on.
5. I get freaked out by too much heat. I hate summer and humid weather.
6. I tend to fly off handles when I loose my temper. I can murder someone when I'm angry.
Few more
7. I'm sickeningly lazy. I feel horribly lethargic and laid-back all the time.
8. I do not forget and I never forgive. I tend to remember everything that was said to me, be it something good or bad. I still remember what a certain man told me when I was 10 and made me cry.
My 6 victims are: Sani, Bebo, Rika, Mandy and ...... :( errrm. I know too less a people.

Far Away
They will be leaving soon. Weekends will never be same again. Sunday SPE, Cassini's Division , SPE bar top will look for them. The lobby, the loo, biki-max icecreams will miss them. I'll miss them.
No more reason to finish up the TT match in a hurry and rush back home so that I can get ready soon. No more reason to buy more 'MORE'. No body to fight with, none to bug, no more competition for taking better pics, nobody to throw peanuts at.
Who will put peanuts in my drink ? Who will pull my cheeks ? Who will give me hugs for no reason at all ?
Don't you know I'm yet to learn how to make smoke rings, how to whistle.
Do you have to leave ?? Why everybody I love has to leave ??
*sigh*
Why do I cling onto people I love?
Let it go , life moves on.
I stand alone.
