Yesterday watched ''When Harry met Sally''.......was an amazing film....just kept laughing thro the film.....I anyways luv Meg Ryan....though she looks ghastly here...I like the Meg Ryan with teh messed up hair....here she is all prim and proper.....but the dialogues were soooo good.......the orgasm scene was so funnny.....

Have bought so many DVDs now.......HMV shd be sued for coming out with a sale and that too a sale which lasts for so many weeks...that I am forved to buy the DVDs when they sell them so cheap.......

will put up a list here soon.......I myself cannot remember all the ones that I have now......
Had been to Heathrow to pickup Kaushik on Saturday......this was the first time I was at the airport picking up someone in the evening (cos' all the BA flights arrive in the morning)....and it was teh first time I was at Terminal 3......it was fun standing at Arrivals and watching people...I anwyyas like doing that......just move in to a crowded place...like a shopping mall...pick a nice cosy corner from where u are inconspicuous .....buy a cup of coffee and then watch people....its a nice passtime...:-)).....and there are times when I have bursted in to peals of laughter looking at people's antics.....and what better place to indulge in this idiosyncracy than the airport.....

Most of the East Asian flights arrive in the evenings....so it was funny watching hordes of Japanese, Koreans, Chinese etc etc.......thronging the arrival area.....U can recognise the Japanese bcos of the amount of 'back bending' they do....they keep bowing...and Did U know that the angle of the japanese bend is directly proportional to the respect you want to give to the other person.Lower the bend.....more is the respect.....interesting ain't it?
Now I can identify among these nationalities...atleast I feel I can.....and the Japanese are the prettiest....of the lot....

The amazing thing about the asian community and I am talking abt East Asians...is the skin and hair......they are all like dolls......fragile dolls...with exquisite skin and hair....

Myself and Kaushik decided to visit Leicester Square on Saturday night.....it was an experience....was like the whole of London was at Leicester square.....One of these days I plan to go there on a Sat night and spend the night there......hv to find sumone who will accompany me ...:-)) ...will be boring alone....loitering about in the night....

Smell.......
The human brain is such an amazing organ.....have u ever noticed how we can relate certain smells with certain people...or places....its like when u smell a new smell...it gets captured as small molecules somewhere in your nasal passage......and years later....when u smell the same smell.......it all comes flooding back...amazing aint it......now my machine is being transported to a diff site......so will stop now....

While commuting to work today.....just had this thought cross my mind....'' Every moment is so unilque. Once it passes off it never comes back....U can never have the same moment with the same emotions ever again.....every moment in our lives is so precious.....all u have is a memory.....so I must cherish each moment like it will never come back ever again''......I know its a cliched thought....but till now.....till this time when I saw the landscape whiz past me.....I have never realised the importance of time.....Is there any point in being unhappy or sad....its sucha  waste of the moment.....so I just wanna be as happy as possible and wanna enjoy my life as much as possible....cos' I am never gonna have a second chance.......
 
Philosophy.......but this is what I wanna do.......
Am feeling so much better today.......yesterday was a case of a reallllly bad Monday......I try to smile to everyone on Monday.....to make Mondays a bit better...but everyone's in the foulest of moods on Monday......Jackie especially(she is one of the managers here)...I keep telling her to smile.....and she just refuses to....and yesterday she comes down and screams looking at my haircut...she tells me that hopefully I hadn't paid teh barber for that haircut...hahahahahahaha...she says with that haircut...I better go off to Pune....and I am no longer her 'boy'....hahahhahahahahaha....so she says that even Tony(my boss) is better than me.....hahhahahahahahahahah........
 
Well.....poor old me.......all I wanted was a haircut.......and the barber just shorn me off all my hair...now i am looking like a shorn sheep.....anyways......whats done is done...now ill have to wait till it grows back.....aaah the travails of getting a decent haircut.....
I seriously have not written for so long now......now what may be the reason for this..I wonder..well...yeah.....Have been working...cannot believe that myself....I actually ahve been so busy that I have not had time to update my blog.....:-))) which is sucha  nice thing to think....:-)))
 
well......now let me try to capture all the happenings over the last few days....I know I will not be able to capture everything....so let me just put down the highlights....:-)
 
Lat Friday on the Tube...was on my way home.....from Blackfriars...just visualise the scene..ok.....I enter teh platform....the train chugs in(its electric...so I guess it glides in).....I push a  button...the doors open......I enter the compartment as the lone passenger...since it was pretty late by British standards (9 PM.....had a party that night.....so was late)....and settled down on my seat....the train moved on to London Bridge station....which atleast had a  fair no of passengers .......the commuters settled down....and the train moves on....suddenly a guy asks another guy abt the book that he was reading( OH....btw.....ina  British train...everyone reads.....books.....ok....noone looks at anyone...they all enter the train....and immediately get out books like mafia pulling out their guns....)......the book turns out to be ''The DaVinci code''....and suddenly believe it or not...there are 3 -4 guys all talking at the same time......regarding this book....this book has become  a craze here in teh UK....and Dan Brown (i guess thats the author) is reallly famous.......reading his books is the ''In'' thing...
it was nice just listening to the conversations .....so many ppl discussing the same book at the same time.....so I decided I must get this book and read it....
 
The funny thing was that ina  British train...ppl were actually talking......else.....u only hear rustles of newspapers.....thats all.....noone talks.......all prim and proper...:-)))
 
Had a French market at teh Whitgift centre this weekend.......all French stuff.....didnt buy anything though......since I had gone berserk at teh HMV sale......I bought loads of DVDs.....will put in teh list tomorrow...as I cannot remember all the ones I have......
 
Saw Sound of Music again on sunday........can never tire of that movie.......saw it an sang the songs.......:-)))).....was fun....
