Books, Movies and the usual zany!

Boy o boy!

Haven't I been busy!?!
Or is the word negligent? :D

Without any delay, here I go:


* I'm back to reading books nowadays. I've taken membership in a library *Happy* :D

Read 'The Brethren' by John Grisham the last. I liked most parts of it; just that the ending was abrupt :OThis one was my first Grisham novel and I liked it till it reached the climax. It's almost the usual Archer stuff and I tell you Archer writes better. In here are three judges (The Brethren) in a prison who run a scam, a CIA chief who suddenly gets the info that Russia will attack USA and goes about turning around the presidential elections, too many homosexuals and the whole story is entagled in not so significant things. The suspense isn't very great. And it finally reaches a good point the author just rushes through the story!
All in all, it doesn't make a very productive reading. I wouldn't recommend reading it.


My 'Parker Pyne' was stolen!! :o :O :x


Now this is a decent one by Agatha Christie. Some good short stories and for a change, it isn't repititive. A happiness specialist Parker pyne goes about solving problems of people to grant them happiness; and he charges a very specific fee for that! :D
I had reached its middle when I made the mistake of taking it to college. *poof* It was gone! One should read it :)

The Three mistakes of my life by Chetan Bhagat. I threw it away after reading fifty pages of it. Need I say more?

* I'm nowadays learning how to play guitar *all smiles*
But mind you, it isn't easy at all. Your fingers start aching badly. You need to get the first and the third fingers at the correct places ( I know only this much as of now :-D) and also get the beats correct. Try doing that while reading the notes and there! You botch it up! :x
I hope I will get over it soon :D
I'm loving every moment of this though I get sweaty with nervousness and desparation while at it.

* I started working out again :D

* I discovered myself! :D
My calling, were I want to be and almost everything :-D
I'm convinced that I'm a technical dud. :D I'm convinced that I'll make a good manager :P


* I watched some movies:


Jaane tu ya jaane na


I didn't like it!! :O
All right. Stop staring now! :D Though the performances were very good and the characters were well etched, the story dragged on! Rest, it was good. But I didn't like it.



Singh is King:


My brother warned me against it. Still I made the brave decision and went for it after a real messed up day. So, I liked it. I roll along comedy. I was actually laughing during the movie. A forget all stress movie. But had I watched it some other day, I might have loathed it! But full points for getting me back in mood :D
My brother said, "tera taste jal gaya hai" I still laugh at it!! :D :D

Now the big one:

ROCK ON!!!


Man! This is a lesson for all directors. I loved the way the script was treated. Everything appeared so real and the acting was very natural. The actors appeared to belong to the characters and it was real fun. Some people might say that it was a very bad mix of Dil Chahta Hai and Jhankaar Beats but who cares. I loved every moment while i was watching it. And the concerts! Just mind blowing. You committed a cardinal sin if you didn't watch it in a theatre!
Go, watch it!!



Rest, the things I'm looking forward to do:

* Read 'The Prometheus Deception' by Robert Ludlum, 'Tuesdays with Morrie' by Mitch Abloom, 'The Kite Runner' by Khaled Hosseini and some by P.G. Wodehouse
* Go to IIT-Delhi for Rendezvous-08
* Learn how to play a guitar well! *chuckles*
*Study, for heaven's sake, for my semester exams!
* Go to my Native place. God! I'm so exctied about going there :-)


Things I'm not so enthusiastic about:

* My fourth sem results. How I wish a cow ate up our answer sheets!
* My fifth sem exams.
* An electronics project that I'm supposed to work on with some even dud guys.


Wish me luck people!
