Have a Break..(else skip this one,)

Have had a lot of fun this truncated weekend, and am actually feeling good about life. I don't know why, but I always have believed that things actually being good was a fact far more significant and meaningful than you felling them as good. Somehow it's the perception tat's impostant, the impact that's relevant. Anyway, I better spare myself some philosophy at the moment. It'a almost four in the night, and I have had a tiring day. If I don't sleep by four, which I won't if another of my philosophical debates-with-myself round starts off, then I'm sure to sleep off in the exam tomorrow. (That's one thing i hate as much as i'm likely to...if I find questions/boring/too easy/ strictly laborious, I either sleep off, or walk out of the hall without completing my paper. May sound untrue, but I've actually done this.)

All right, here's some of what I did...

Category: FAVORITES> MADNESS

Ate a lot of roadside junk food on Saturday. dunno why, but it's sooo tasty always. I know my doc would kill me if he gets to know, but I don't really care. The bottomline is that the unclean, ugly, roadside food is just sooo tasty, and cheap.

Actually saw a tonga race on Delhi roads. A proper official race, complete with people following on scooters, cheering etc. and here's the most surprising part, on South Delhi roads! Infact, on outer Rong road that runs outside IITD, atop the Panchsheel flyover, at around 5. I knew that such races are officially held, often with police permission and crowd support, in old Delhi around Jama Masjid area, on Sundays. But I was so amused and surprised to see it here , that I immediately stopped my car and waited to enjoy the event in full flow. Somehow, generations before us had so much leisure in their lives. Much more entertainment than today's gadget-enslaved lives.

Category: FUN ON THE BOX

Was home for sometime. Caught half an episode of KOFFEE WITH KARAN with an almost intolerable Kareena and a surprisingly dumb Rani Mukherjee( somehow I believed she was rather intelligent, until last night) as the guests. Ended up yet again that Karan Johar is too clever an interviewer. He managed some real 'sensationally controversial' statements out of the two ladies. And of crse, they did what women are infamous about- bitch behind the back about another woman. The funniest was when Fardeen Khan, on a special appearance , on being asked to rate the sex appeal of the two ladies, "Of crse Bebo, she has a cuter a**", followed by "Ya, rani's is good too, but Kareena is better." Huh?

Was travelling by the bus. As usual, a lot of intersting conversations are often overheard in public transport, but this one was hilarous...two women bitching abt their respective mothers-in-law, being interrupted and almost scolded by an elderly uncle, who asked them not to discuss these issues in public, for it was bad influence( he was pointing at me and the girl sitting next to me!!)

Category: FAVOURITES> GHAR KA KHANA

Now this one is pure bliss. Got one proper dinner at home, and a grand lunch at a relatives place. Jealous anyone?



There's some more, and some that's too personal, and plenty else that I want to write. Maybe tomorrow, after the exam ends(as if exams make much difference to me!)

Na, he's clever. He acts being dumb, and then extracts soundbytes from the guests to add spice to his show.
Of crse, what's irritating is the way he brings up KAL HO NA HO the movie in his discussion with EVERYONE he's ever got on the show.

@Nitin
Is 'working', as in the movies, really crucial?

Unfortunately there was no time to. I was driving when i saw this, and just pulled my car to one side and enjoyed the brief spectacle.
