Guess what I'm doing tomorrow?! I'm going to watch a teeny-age-vampire-werewolf romance! To top that,I'm going to be watching it at the ghostly hour on a Sunday morning! 10:00 A.M.!
I've been trashing everyone who loves the books and who's looking forward to watching the movie Twilight all this time and now I'm actually going to be watching New Moon myself!
10:00 A.M. is just not fair...On second thought it's all right,I'll be getting to watch some objectified males and not females.I might even pick up some good eye make-up tips from Robert Pattinson.
Update : Its 4:00 P.M. and I've finished the movie.It didn't disappoint me one bit.It was exactly what I thought it would be like.I think I annoyed quite a few people(females)in the audience including my room-mate by laughing hysterically at the most 'romantic moments' in the movie.Ok,I wasn't hysterical but the movie was a riot! The second half was really funny.Robert Pattinson's make-up was good.I've even bought myself an eye pencil sharpener.The part in Italy with the Volturi was really dramatic with the human trying to forfeit her life for her monster love with a lot cheesy dialogue involved.I do think that the movie was better than its predecessor and the book. If you like the idea of Vampire-Human-Werewolf love triangle then you can watch this though avoid being accompanied by sarcastic people.You can also go just for the sake of watching all those shirtless men.

Its all so far away
Seems lost forever
I won't feel it again
No more in my dreams
Sometimes when I close my eyes
On nights like this
I can hear everything anew
Savor that same aura afresh
What did I just touch?
It melted under my fingertips..
to reveal my own ghostly likeness
through a distant haze
I was smiling,looking absorbed
in that one instance.
Around me were bright faces
It was a merry moment,
When all you heard and cared to hear
Was ringing laughter
And the frenzy of fervid plans.
All those people..
What ever happened to them?
They are still here.
We all exist somewhere..
In the periphery of each other's lives
Never to meet again
I know that jolly moment is gone
But will I never master this silly longing?
To feel it again as a real whole
And no more as a shadow in my mind..
But no,the warmth is lost
It should be buried deep
I will cover it securely this time
It won't pursue me again
Nobody needs it anymore.

The best fork forward!
Today I attended a little session on dining etiquette :)
I have always been more comfortable with spoons and forks than eating with my hands so today's session was fun.I got to know a lot of things that I have been doing wrong all this while without realizing it.Think I'll put down some points here if I ever want to refer.Its fresh in my mind now.
1) Cutlery placed on either side of the plate should be used moving from outside working your way inward.
2) Solids to the left and liquids to the right.
3) Fork on the left and knife on the right.Both need to be held with the index finger pointing and placed down their back.
4) Napkins should either be folded diagonally or horizontally. When folding horizontally only about a third of the napkin should be double layered.
5) Soups should be stirred moving from the inside working outward. The spoon should be filled from the top of the bowl,tapped delicately on the rim and should be placed sideways to the mouth while sipping :)
6) Bread can be eaten using hands.( There was a collective sigh of relief from the group at this point.)
These were some of the many helpful tips we got today.After the lunch today I decided that I'll never order spaghetti or noodles while at a lunch meeting.Its so difficult to work it when it has too much sauce. No rice either due to some other considerations.
In a nutshell, At lunch meetings you meet and greet and not eat!
On the way back in the car,a colleague of mine sang some old hindi songs.He has a lovely voice.It was really nice listening to all my favorite songs after such a long time.I really enjoyed on my way back home with everybody cracking hilarious jokes.Everybody was full of plans for next year.Day-dreaming is so addictive and it doesn't help that I'm particularly good at it.
UPDATE : Looking around at my room I think I could also do with a session that goes something like this:
1) Coat in hanger,Clothes in cupboard,Shoes in rack,Books in the shelf etc.
2) See 1 above
3) Sigh.

I'm on a Coldact and Coffee diet today.Its like the coldact won't let me keep my eyes open and the coffee won't let me keep my eyes closed.Funny. That reminds of some hindi movie dialogue which I can't recall completely. I think it was something involving acid and something else...
Anyway I watched a movie today that a friend recommended. 'Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind' Heavy name huh? I wonder what I'd choose to erase from my memory if I had the chance.I enjoyed the movie though I still don't understand what the name means.
Tomorrow I've got to be at work at a very ungodly hour so its off to bed now!
Update: Thats the one! " Raabert..isko liquid oxygen mein daal do...liquid isse jeene nahi dega aur oxygen isse marne nahi dega."
Thanks D!

Night Owl
Tonight will go down in my life history as the night when I didn't get any sleep at all..for reasons unknown to me so far.I have never stayed up so late even on exam nights.
I don't like it one bit.
What do I do to kill what's remaining of the night? Wake up the rest of the house accidentally? ;p
Update: The owl's got an awful cold and a headache. Flap Flap

J'adore??
I am going to list down all the things I like in this post.
1)Water - A cool refreshing drink which tastes good with lime and without it too. It doesn't make you fat and is free.
2)Meeting Janis - Cute little gluttony doggie who welcomes me to her home like no one ever has or can.
3)Music - Aerosmith,Jackson,Metallica,Rihanna,Janis Joplin and Sinatra, drown everything out please! I don't want to hear anything else tonight.
4)Memory - All the letters ever written to me between the ages of 5 and 15.
7)Make-up - Gives confidence and can be gotten rid of at the end of the day.
8)Book - I read this line in my favourite bookshop "Gone to bed with men,women and children."
9)Stiletto - Things look best from a height.
10)Night - A good long blackout is what I really need!
Wow! I have all this and more! Life's good again!

My brain feels frozen this week. I've been thinking and thinking and thinking about tomorrow and I still don't have a plan!! My usually dramatic brain seems to have hibernated early this year.If I don't get a miraculous idea in my sleep tonight,I'm going to make an ass of myself in front of a zillion people..*shivers*
I came to see Janis and D in hope of some inspiration.I didn't get much inspiration but I did get some laughs and walnut cakes for my efforts.Janis has learnt quite a few new tricks since the last time I saw her.Now she's taken to beating her head against the door when she sees us leaving.She's becoming quite smart.She seems to realize that I'm a sucker for dogs pulling cute faces.Her activity levels seem to rise 200% when she sees me which I can't say is always good for all the adoring humans around her.
I ran into one of my college teachers at a shop today.She asked why I didn't come to the alumni meet.That was news to me!
The best thing I did all week was buying Ruskin Bond's Horror Omnibus! Yay!!I've heard some great reviews about it.. Well my review is coming soon too!!
Update: Horrendous day at work.I'm so tired and have a back ache added to the plot!
