Books...best friends?

Not sure about being best friends but they do give you a sense of something that you want to sense :) Also, they are the best known way to rekindle your imagination. Same line could be interpreted in as many ways as your brain's interpreter’s versions vary. Some leave you wondering, some make you think, some just force you to shut your brains and sit back and enjoy the way you would enjoy a totally senseless hindi masala movie!

But, all the same, make you realize there can be another world. A world created by author, a world visualised by both the author and the reader...

Books that read in last 2-3 months alone -

1. The Secret - Must read for the philosophy lovers and even if you are not.
2. Twilight - Finally I learnt not to twitch at the mention of vampires. I was not very fond of them before reading this book. Beautiful stroy.
3. P.S. I love You - Needless to say, it’s for the romantic at the heart.
4. I too had a Love Story - Read this one bcoz it was written by a fellow Infoscion. Average read - total movie stuff.
5. A Walk to Remember - This one is worth remembering! Go read and see if you have a heart.
6. Eleven Minutes - Paulo Coelho didn't disappoint in his style of writing. But definitely not my cup of tea. Could never understand the protagonist's ideologies.
7. Angels and Demons - one Dan Brown book that was easier to follow. Only other Dan Brown read was the Da Vinci Code.
8. Re-reading Harry Potter - Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban and now Goblet of Fire - what could one say for J.K. Rowling? Must read for the child in you who believes in magic!

Need to update more. Some other time I guess.

Honk...Honk..Honk.. I sat up straight. Fear, anger and irritation, all running through my head at the same time. I was on my way to my sister's PG from Bangalore airport. I looked ahead, the streets were empty but the bus driver honked. I guess, that was out of habit :) Well that was my first reaction as I was arriving home. No, don't get me wrong. Don't count me among those Indians who cannot wait to crib about how everything is wrong in this country, but that was how I honestly felt. One year in the States can bring a few changes but more than anything your horizon of observations just widens! One thing that was more than welcome was the presence of fellow beings :) I guess one can barely feel lonely here. The noise, the peak hour traffic, the roadside quarrels, the loud laughs; I loved it all. By the way, I loved the year I spent in Milwaukee. It is a beautiful city and with a home in the downtown, it just adds to the pleasure :) Shopping got a whole new meaning there vi...

Movies...movies!

I have never been an avid movie watcher. But lately, I have begun enjoying watching good movies. Not sure how this happened...maybe the fact that I have been finding more time for myself in the weekends...Loads of friends around, but most of us end up doing something or other different and it’s nice to be on your own...make new friends and hey, watch movies!! I sure take looong to get to the point! Anyways, last weekend, I happened to see “Luck By Chance”. Farhan Akhtar and Konkana Sen Sharma duo was an attractive factor for me. I liked the way the script moved forward. An ambitious guy makes his way to the stardom with his talent and charm. I had an argument with a friend that there is nothing wrong in being ambitious and it just so happened that he could use people (read friends) and move still further. Others could not keep up with his pace! He said “Being ambitious does not mean cheating…period.” A good statement actually and well intentioned. Another movie for which there were no ...

Focus!

Focus..Focus..Focus So simple to say or hear, but really difficult to follow if you dont focus :) Time has proven to me that genious is nothing but prolonged focus on one simple thing by one simple fella. There are people with brilliant ideas and there are people who simply stick around and focus on completing a task. Very often, these are the people who go a long way in their career or life. WYSIWYG. I say WYFOIWYG. Yeah that is what is you focus on is what you get. You want to excel at work. Focus. You want to have a good and loving relationship, focus. You want to solve a problem, focus. But for heaven's sake not on problem but on solution. WYFOIWYG. Hope that's a nice thought for the day :)
