Stuff

So where was I? Yes. Back to blogspot. This following post was supposed to be posted a few days back ending my big exile from blogging, but due to obvious reasons, it’s getting posted today.
It’s said that time is like a flowing river and all what we have is the present moment and also that it doesn’t wait for anyone. Time is always constant. It’s not random. I don’t know what will happen to me in the next twenty minutes, but I know one thing for sure. The next twenty minutes will surely come and it will be lasting for twenty minutes (unless I travel at half the speed of light)! I may feel that the time is moving very slowly or very swiftly, but it’s not the time which is moving slowly, it’s your life.
All these days, I mean my no-blogging days, time played it’s trick on me too. I had days which went just like that, and of course there were days which never seemed to end. There were a lot of things I would’ve blogged about and here’s some of them.
- I couldn’t play for my college in this year’s zonals, and as usual our team flunked at the match. As usual we will play well in practice matches but lose in the match itself. Kinda like deccan chargers!
- I watched a movie called “10 items or less” starring Morgan Freeman and Paz Vega. I dunno why, but I liked it very much maybe because Morgan Freeman did a wonderful job which he does in almost every movie, or maybe because Paz Vega’s ‘Spanglishly’ accent was ‘cute’, or maybe because Paz Vega was cute :), or maybe because it’s the first movie to be released on theatres and online for free download at the same time or maybe because it’s just an one of a kind movie. It’s not the greatest movie, but it was nice! If you like Freeman then it’s a must watch!
- It’s a band called tool, suggested by shrey, on my playlist now. There are some good songs like ‘the pot’, ‘Ænema’, ‘stinkfist’, ‘prison …’, but they are simply not porcupine tree! Steven Wilson rules!
- Dark knight, Dark knight, Dark knight. Everywhere it’s Dark knight. The new Godfather, I would say. It has everything in it, from great screenplay to great dialogues, from great direction to great acting, from great stunts to great ‘jokes’, it has everything. It’s amazing that so much could be done with a ‘comic book movie’ and it’s even amazing that many people does not see it as a superhero movie. Though, the only face you remember when you come out of the theatre is the paint-covered face of Heath Ledger, the movie has a lot of memorable moments and memorable dialogues. Nobody would’ve done the job better than Bale and there is Freeman and Caine as usual with their excellent acting . Dark knight, proof that only action and amazing visual effects is not needed to create a superhero movie and proof that even ‘comic book movies’ can be a masterpiece rather than stupid movies like the ‘superman returns’ :|
- This year GCT hosted the 13th brainstrain, and unfortunately I couldn’t be a part of it :( and it was my very own school which came first!
- A committee from “National Board of Accreditation” visited our college for the renewal of accreditation status. Meh.
- Pixar proves that animation movie is not only meant for kids with it’s latest and undoubtedly it’s best so far, WALL-E. So much values and so much satires, not an unusual in Pixar movies.
- Prison break has become more predictable, or maybe they should stop it with this season.
- 5 semesters have passed by and I still don’t know why I am learning so much things, writing them in a piece of paper for three hours and calling myself an engineer!!
