Snippets

Rain it seems, is a thought provoker not because it comes from heaven but just because it gives a lot of idle time, when you just have an option to sit and think. This weekend was again a rainy weekend and so in breaks I had a lot of time to ponder over things.

Gandhi Jayanti seems to have no importance to people in jamshedpur, since this is one of the 5 holidays many of us get in the whole year. But I am sure the importance of it is lessening across nation too. What a pity.

I think we are witnessing the slow death of cricket. The attendance in recent champions trophy is one measure. I witnessed one of the die hard fans confessing his loss of interest in the game. Go football ( read as “GOD”). Btw no offence to cricket fans, I was also one, once upon a time.

Read a new Dan Brown book, well the ending should have been better. Though I found it better than “Da Vinci” on some points. One more book I read was “ P.S. I love you”. Really a bad book I must say. Disappointing.

Football on weekend was upset with my team drawing and the rivals winning.
Well the news of the fortnight has to be this. Jamshedpur has got a Dominos. I twice checked the spelling on the hoarding to make sure. Went and asked the junta around and then the reality dawned on me. Some reality. So this weekend it was beer, pizza and football.

CCD here has finally started playing good songs other than “ghunghat-ki-aad-se-dilbar-ka” types. But dominos is yet to catch up. It had “saat-samundar-paar-me-tere-piche-piche” types on first day.

Saw the movie “Gone with the wind”. Couldn’t believe that the movie was made in 1939. “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn”.

Ending on a sentimental note. Read this in a status message. “Some feelings sink so deep in heart that only loneliness can help you find them”. True, I must say. Sitting alone and watching rain dripping, I replayed some of the long forgotten good incidences and could still feel the warmth. No good thing ever dies.
