Hail the Rain Lord!!!

Dear Rain Lord,

I know whenever I was in Bangalore and you made your presence felt galore, there were times when I cursed! What was I to do, when all my favourite chappals broke, had almost nothing to wear as most my clothes were wet, and suffered from allergies because the room went damp harboring fungal spores??!!!
But, then again, you must also remember, that it was the same me who also enjoyed dancing in the showers, jumped with glee in puddles and marveled at your lightning bolts. And I do admit that I had more fun with your presence felt than not.
Well, too much of anything is bad, as were the showers at times!!
Don't you miss me??? You know I love listening to rain patter on walls, windows, roofs and everywhere else; and I can spend hours just listening to it while staring into oblivion, letting my mind flow freely; or cuddle up in a corner with my favourite book, or if I am in an altruistic mood, maybe make some hot chai and goodies to eat for everyone around me :) then everyone will gather and amidst all the hullabaloo, keep repeating "Oh how wonderful is this weather!! How wonderful!!"
People have claimed that I am crazy to walk in the rain....but you and I know better.....don't you??
So, come visit me in Delhi soon....I am waiting!!! I promise not to complain and have lots of fun ;)
As a reminder, I am putting up this picture I had taken capturing your essence on a wonderful day...... do hurry :)

Waiting eagerly,
Pescy :)

Of Brilliant Actors, Directors and Story-tellers

Very recently I went and watched Shutter Island in theaters. It was a good movie. The setting, the background score, the acting, the effect on the audience...it was all there. All-in-all...a really good watch. And then I went home and watched Mystic River. Another riveting plot, acting and screenplay.

What's common between the two movies?

Well...firstly, both are based on novels written by Dennis Lehane. I am sure, the novels on their own would be awesome...this I can say based on the strength of the plot portrayed on screen. The emotional turmoil, scary in the former and distressing in the latter....it is there in both.
Secondly, both novels were picked by the "Awsomest" directors ;) Shutter Island boasts of Martin Scorsese and Mystic River of Clint Eastwood. They may not necessarily be the best works of each directors but then, they are nothing short of being really commendable.
Thirdly, the choice of actors has been great and they have respectively, done great justice to their roles.
I am no great critic or observer..... but both movies successfully evoke the right responses and feeling from audience at the appropriate places with the combined effect of music/acting/direction/camera/screenplay.

Highly recommended by me :)

PhD Blues

Well...the D-Day is almost here.
40 hrs to my Colloquium. Can't believe it is actually happening....on the other hand relieved too that the culmination of 5 yrs' worth work is taking place.
Am happy its happening, and nervous its happening, and tense for what is about to follow. But as always i guess......one step at a time....we'll take it as it comes.
Three cheers for 5-yrs of hard work and all the in-between masti :)

And yes....check this out :)

I Hate Luv Storys Music

The music is out........... :) and personally I really like 4 songs from this album.
Bahara is very good, the title track qualifies for the "good-bad song" category :P i.e. it has some funny rhyming lyrics but music that is good to hear, Jab mila tu and Bin tere are also quite nice.
Here are the youtube links:
