Jun. 11th, 2005 @ 11:48 am Parineeta - A movie, a nice watchable movie
Current Mood: pleased
Current Music: Suraj Hua Maddham - KKKG
I suddenly was in the mood to watch this movie. So I made up my mind and pulled in a cupla friends of A and me and A's colleagues. I raved to them about the movie and how good the reviews of the movie were and blah blah :-)
I was hoping that it would really be worth a watch...

The word Parineeta means 'the married woman'. The movie might have the same plot, about a girl and a boy who love each other immensely...but the way the couple realises that they are in love has been dealt very well. Saif has done a great job. The newcomer Vidya sizzles on screen...I found her breathtakingly beautiful....All her little gestures add up to make her performance the best!!
The song 'Piyu Bole' is very pleasant and the only good hummable song in the movie.
The end is a lil funny, we couldnt stop ourselves from laughing :-D

In short, I feel its a well made movie. Am glad that most of them ended up liking it :-)

The Point System

In the world of romance, one single rule applies to the men: Make the
woman happy. Do something she likes, and you get points. Do something
she dislikes, and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for
doing something she expects. Sorry, that's the way the game is played.

Here is a guide to the point system

==============================

SIMPLE DUTIES:

You make the bed. (+1)

You make the bed, but forget the decorative pillow. (0)

You throw the bedspread over rumpled sheets. (-1)

You go out to buy her what she wants. (+5)
In the rain. (+10)
But return with beer. (-15)

You check out a suspicious noise at night. (0)

You check out a suspicious noise and it is nothing. (0)

You check out a suspicious noise and it is something. (+5)

You pummel it with an iron rod. (+10)
It's her pet. (-25)

==============================

SOCIAL ENGAGEMENTS:

You stay by her side for a while, then leave to chat with a college
buddy. (-2)
Named Tina. (-4)

Tina is a dancer. (-10)
Tina has breast implants. (-80)
Really big breast implants. (-200)

==============================

HER BIRTHDAY:

You take her out to dinner. (0)

You take her out to dinner and it's not a sports bar. (+1)
Okay, it is a sports bar. (-2)
And it's all-you-can-eat night. (-3)

It's a sports bar, it's all-you-can-eat night, and your face is painted
the colours of your favourite team. (-10)

==============================

A NIGHT OUT:

You take her to a movie. (+2)

You take her to a movie she likes. (+4)

You take her to a movie you hate. (+6)

You take her to a movie you like. (-2)
And it's called "DeathCop". (-3)

You lied and said it was a foreign film about orphans that was featured
on "Oprah". (-15)

==============================

YOUR PHYSIQUE:

You develop a noticeable potbelly. (-15)

You develop a noticeable potbelly and exercise to get rid of it. (+10)

You develop a noticeable potbelly and resort to baggy jeans and baggy
Hawaiian shirts. (-30)

You say, "It doesn't matter, you have one too." (-10,000)

==============================

ENJOY THE 'BIG' QUESTION:

She asks, "Do I look fat?" (-5)
[Yes, you LOSE points no matter WHAT you say.]

You hesitate in responding. (-10)

You reply, "Where?" (-35)

Any other response. (-20)

==============================

COMMUNICATION:

When she wants to talk about a problem, you listen, displaying what
looks like a concerned _expression. (0)

You listen for over 30 minutes. (+50)

You listen for more than 30 minutes without looking at the TV. (+500)

She realizes this is because you have fallen asleep. (-5,000)

Pottery is great fun !! I've been wanting to do something like this frm such a loooong time and now am enjoying every bit of it...
We start off with handbuilding.....so made some heart shaped coasters, fish shaped bowls, a tray and a vase and some such things :-)

The wheel technique is difficult....I couldnt get it the first two times and was disheartened :-(
But I was thrilled when I made my first bowl on the wheel..... :-) Am planning to color it blue.....

Its still not colored and is sitting at the pottery studio....Will post some pictures when its home..

Current Mood: pleased
Some of the overhead is gone with the cargo thing done. Things until yesterday were hectic in terms of accumulating all stuff to be shipped at one place.
The packers and movers came yesterday and were done with things in about 2 hrs !! I was totally impressed. Should say that they were totally professional. I would appreciate them better if all things wud be delivered intact at our apartment in Sunnyvale.

Today was a lil hectic. Went to a thread-ceremony called Upanayanam in the morning. Came home after lunch and slept for an hour which wasnt enough :-(
Attended a reception in the evening.

A had called in the morning and we spoke for such a looooooooong time and I really feel happy about it :-) A call from him really does wonders to how my day goes :-)
Am waiting for him to come online for a chat now......

Jan. 27th, 2005 @ 10:34 am Ups and Downs
Life has so much to offer and it also takes away things from us.

I remember I was hurt at one point of time that things went terribly wrong. Then things went on so smooth (touch wood) that I started to get scared as to when the good things in life would come to an end. Coz I remember someone telling me that life is a sine wave.

Speaking on a positive note -
A few things I cherish - The love of my life, my family and friends, my job
A few things I miss having in my life - My gramma and uncle, the carefree life of a child, a few good old friends

And the other side of the coin -
What life has given to me - Tensions, worries, hopes
What life has taken away from me - Peace, Time

Such an irony that life can make life go from bad to worse and make a few see rays of hope.Phew !

3 months - Long or short - Its very relative. But its definitely not short for someone who is waiting to join her husband. For someone who is living each day completely, all alone, with all kinds of tensions in the head.

I agree solitude is important for every person. U tend to reflect ur thought, feelings and emotions. Work and other things occupy my time completely, but still I can feel that his presence is totally lacking and I can go mad with it !

Its not easy not to get worried and to take things as they come, especially when life demands so much from you!

All kinds of thoughts come into my head. Does he miss me? Or is he getting used to living without me? What will I do when I go to the US? What if I do not find a job? Will I lose my identity if I dont work? and more and more.....

I dont know why I feel so unsure and loaded with questions now. I remember one point of time where I was like this, overcame that, was confident about everything under the sun. And I see myself back at the same place where I started. Surely not a good sign or is this the way life is?
