Welcome back!

its nice to travel alone sometimes..observe different kind of people, their culture, manners..very interesting.
I usually dont prefer eating out alone. Out of sheer boredom and loneliness, i decided to treat myself to a nice hot indian dinner. Its difficult when you dont have anyone to talk to. so i decided to read during dinner as well. the indian restaurant was pretty and cozy..among the higher end hotels in wiesbaden i must say. the last time i went there, we were given some free 'papad' since we were indians. We also struck a very nice conversation with the indian man at the counter. well, this time i was treated with 'Hi' , 'please sit down' in deustch. Slightly disappointed, i sat on a table, fished out my book from my bag and began reading. To my right were two local women engaged in a very deep conversation about other girlfriends and relations. guess women conversations are the same all over the world :-). In front of me, sat an old couple enjoying champagne..probably their wedding anniversary! I got an occasional nod and 'hi', 'Guten appitite' from these people and also other local people in the restaurant. Sipping on a hot cup of tea with 'The Kite Runner' in my hand, i was at peace. i felt welcome again. Not lonely anymore. At that moment, i was sure to enjoy the rest of my trip. The only sad part was not being welcomed (is there a word like that?) by a fellow indian.

Magadheera

Though i am a big movie buff, i dont watch too many telugu movies especially the newer ones. But i have to shamelessly accept that i saw Magadheera thrice in theatre!! Gasp!!
So..i was wondering what is so good about this movie that i didnt even hesitate to watch it the third time and infact suggested that we go for this movie on a long tiring friday night. Honestly, I dont know...as of now, let me attribute it to my latest crush, Ram charan tej! :-)

Grrrrrrrrrr..

What do you do when you are in an extremely bad mood and feel like punching that "someone's" face if they come in front of you? I feel like it right now..i so want to vent my frustration out that i am unable to concentrate on anything else. steer clear of me today!

Iktara

what is it about this song that makes my heart race each time i listen to it..is it the uniquely melodious female voice or is it the male chorus singing like they really need somebody's attention;is it the beat or just the lyrics..probably the way the song is instilled into the movie or maybe its just ranbir kapoor..maybe the soulful music?
i love the way she sings ..
main tho kisi ke hoke
yeh bhi naa jaani...
simply beautiful...i am listening to it while writing this post...
Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do..iktara from wake up sid!

Mind Vs Heart

What do you do when your heart rules over your mind? In the sense, you want to do something which is morally not right or you might regret it later sort of thing. But still your heart longs for it and you are torn in between making a decision. You almost yield to temptation. I think most of us would have been in this situation. Well, to start with, taking a long breath definitely helps. Think rationally for a minute...when i say a minute, it might sound like a very small amount of time. Trust me, it takes a phenomenal effort to think rationally even for that minute. Just for that one minute, let your mind rule over your heart. Think only about the negative aspect of the "morally wrong" thought and how and why it might affect your life later. You can even conjure up some negative aspect to it just to convince yourself...i dont see anything wrong in that. just by building a negative energy around that whole thought can make you feel good at the end of that one minute because you would be happy that you are not going to do it..I have tried this many times and it has worked..
When you know how to control your mind, you get the ultimate power to let it control you.
I think this is the most abstract post of mine till date!!

Random thoughts

A cup of hot and strong coffee..long talk with a close friend on life, love, people..pleasant smell of wet earth from the first showers of rain...no electricity at home...a candle light flickering due to the gusty winds outside..wearing an old pyjama and tee...on a cozy bean bag..on a friday night...
This is the first picture that came to my mind when i thought about what i wanted to do right now..some of the small pleasures in life!!

The Reason

I'm not a perfect person,
As many things I wish I didn't do,
But I continue learning,
I never meant to do those things to you,
And so I have to say before I go,
That I just want you to know...

I've found a reason for me,
To change who I used to be,
A reason to start over new,
and the reason is you.

I'm sorry that I hurt you,
It's something I must live with everyday,
And all the pain I put you through,
I wish that I could take it all away,
And be the one who catches all your tears,
Thats why I need you to hear...

I've found a resaon for me,
To change who I used to be,
A reason to start over new,
and the reason is You...
