For the first time in my life, after using close to half a dozen mobile phones, I bought one on my own. Here it is!
The good:Decent touch screen. Unlimited music download for a year.
The bad: Moderately expensive and hence a botheration (to take care of the device)
The ugly: Built in memory card. Hence no additional memory.

ഇല്ല, അതുമില്ല. വെറുതെ മോഹിച്ചു. ഇനി ഇപ്പൊ സസ്പെന്സും ഇല്ല, ആകാംക്ഷയും.
Days of suspense are over.

In Mangalore, half of the year you would wish it rained, and the other half you wish it stopped. Rains have started.
In the last seven days,
I played frisbee, I played cricket, I played shuttle and yes! I played guitar.
I bought a pair of new jeans(after planning for 6 months!) and I attended guitar classes.
I bought a guitar bag, I am planning to buy a new guitar and planning to buy much more.
And i got a hike.
And..I attended a vellamadi party.
Back at home

When you are happy, it shows, and it shows right on your face.
When you smile, you look better, in fact you look awesome.
When you are motivated by someone, you do your best.
And when you have that feeling that you are doing good, you feel that you are simply wonderful!
-recent discoveries.
Something big athand. Just cant afford to lose it. Badly want it. Days of suspense ahead.

You know its love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you are not part of their happiness.

From time to time, life has kept me teaching the same thing again and again-that one must be prepared to lose anything in life, no matter how valuable it is.
O ho hooo

Karthik Calling Karthik:
It seemed rubbish at times.
Highly impressive at other times.
Being a die hard fan of Farhan Akhtar, I would like it anyways!
Worth watching as its a fresh topic in the Hindi movies with a lot of suspense.
It's not a love story(Deepika was lovely..btw...)
Neither its a "Wake up Karthik" kind of movie-though it seemed to be one at some point of time.
It's totally different movie and you would never guess the story(unless you have seen A Beautiful Mind)
At times, you would not be able to guess what's going to happen next, full of suspense.
The movie was really impressive in connecting the dots...ie, providing logical explanation to whatever seemed to be a nonsense. Thank God, it didnt turn out to be a movie where a resident of that flat(a Farhan Akhtar look alike), who had been murdered there long ago,was calling Karthik on phone :P.
Music is really good. Heya. Also Karthik 2.0.
Loved the scene where Karthik after the first call walks (in suit) to meet his boss.
Also the sequence before the closing scene where the mysteries unravelled. It was presented well. But the closing was a let down, as it took away the excitement built up just a few scenes back. It was okay though.
Farhan Akhtar is superb- Actor, Director, Singer! His movies are a variety and well thought out!!
Didnt actually want to write this, but wanted to write something.
Incidently, this happens to be my
100th post.

So finally here's my updates:
I am going back to Mysore tomorrow,after a four day leave. Since I have test on the morning I arrive, and since I absented myself from the module, I am mentally preparing myself to fail for the first time, in the first module test of my extended training.
So now I made it clear that my extended training has started.It will last for 7 weeks.Going back to Infy wont be the same. What was apparent during the last three months is now a reality. I am alone. All the near ones have left for Chennai. I will never forget those nights we wandered in the campus, either till the security scolded us away or till it got late night. And that day we visited each and every shop in Mysore! Wish I had those photos to support my claim!
Regarding movies, here are a few movies from the past three months:
RNBDJ: I guess you know the expansion. Even if you don't, don't worry,it's not worth knowing.Of late, Shah Rukh Khan is treading the same path as Mammootty-making a fool of himself. The ending of the movie- the montage of photographs was much better than the movie itself.
Delhi 6: There are many people who said that the movie is a "different one".I would say this one wasn't a flop just because the director is assumed to be talented. Else it's nothing short of a flop.Second worst movie of the year.
13B: This movie, I would call was either comically tragic, or tragically comic.I don't know what the actual intention was.I couldn't help laughing at some of the logics presented in the movie. But on the whole it was okay, a good time pass.
Walkeurie: I dont know if the spelling is correct;this one was very good.Story from Hitler's Germany. It is about a failed assassination attempt of Hitler by Tom Cruise(Col. Stauffenberg) and his accomplices, and the price they pay for it.
Revolutionary Road: I had gone to watch 'Benjamin Button' and ended up watching this. Now this one's the worst movie of the year. No comments. It tested my patience.
Fashion:Wow! I really liked this one. The thing I liked the most was the unpredicatability of the story. I could never guess what was going to happen next. And the realistic portrayal of the life of models.
Rock On: Wanted to watch this for long, got a chance only two days back. Good movie.Not anything more.
I wouldn't have the company of any friends for watching movies hereafter.I will miss it-Teena,Lakshmipriya,Stallon and Neethu!
Music:My current favourite is 8*10 Tasveer-I love it!
I also downloaded Eternity by MLTR.I have just started listening, so too early to comment. As of now,not impressed.
And!! I started playing snooker!!(pool, to be precise).
I have no idea how my life's going to be like in the next two months. I have no idea.It will be lonely, especially when Lakshmipriya also leaves. I still can't understand why things happen to me like this; and only to me. :) .
No hopes, no expectations.Just living life as it comes. Happy with all those who are/were so nice to me-Thank you so much.

ചില നേരങ്ങളില് തോന്നും എന്ത് അപ്രതീക്ഷിതം ആണ് ജീവിതം എന്ന്.ഓരോന്ന് ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നു,പ്രതീക്ഷിക്കുന്നു,സ്വപ്നം കാണുന്നു.എന്നാല് സംഭവിക്കുന്നതോ സന്കല്പിക്കാന് പോലും പറ്റാത്തത്. ഈ അവധിക്കു publish ചെയ്യാന് എത്ര posts എഴുതി തയാറാക്കി വെച്ചിരുന്നു.എത്ര ഫോട്ടോസ്.ഫോടോസിനെ കുറിച്ചു എത്ര posts.photographyയെ കുറിച്ചു എത്ര എണ്ണം.ഞാന് friendsഇന്റെ കൂടെ ഫോട്ടോ എടുത്ത എത്രയോ രാത്രികളെ കുറിച്ചുള്ള post.
I was very excited about all those. But the reality is, this will be my only post.
I know that not many people read my blog. But if you happen to be the person who got my camera, please return me the memory card. You don't know the value of those photos. I wont get those moments back. Give me back at least those memories. I feel like crying.
There are some things money can't buy.
Back to you

Death.
How would you prefer it?
To know well in advance, when you are gonna die?
Or,
Encounter the reality just before you die!
******************************************************************
Things have changed so much in such a short span of time. In less than 48 hours, a lot of things happened; I knew things won't be that easy when time comes for me to rejoin, but I didn't know it can get so ugly. The shock on getting the mail from HR, the tension of ticket booking (which were nowhere to be found), the task of gathering (finding,to be exact) all my belongings from Mysore and repacking them (in fact now I have more luggage than when I went for the first time), the reluctance to come out of this holiday and actually start "working"... It was all great! I had a bit too much of holidaying. Wonder if it's going to do me any good.
This time I am serious: hereafter you can't find me in Trivandrum (atleast!).
The journey starts tomorrow.
******************************************************************
A strange fear lies in some corner of my heart. It surfaces at times. When it does, it disturbs me a lot. But what I don't know is what I fear?
Do I fear myself?
Murphy Again!

Yes am not going to Mysore. Parole has been extended.
If it can..., it will!

Murphy's Law: "if anything can go wrong, it will". This is one of my favourite laws governing day-to -day life..Now don't call me a pessimist. I love this law because it proves to be true on many occasions, almost every time.
My version of the law is: things never happen as you want it to be. If you want something, you never get it. If you have lost interest in something, it won't be too long before you have it.
Well, I am experiencing too much of "Murphy" nowadays, the latest being my return to my job. When I really wanted to get back to work, there was no way that I could. Now when I have slipped into a holiday mood, they want me back.
I am returning to that "self-sufficient" world, that place which never made me homesick. That kind of place in which you rarely get a chance to be in. I am getting back to work on December 1st. But things will be very different this time. This time it will be more challenging and tough, hope it's more creative and productive too.
Once again: hereafter you will fing me at-
GEC, Infosys, Mysore.
Music

There's a song. A song which I can identify in the first two seconds of its start. I have done it countless times. I marvel at the "identity" this song has. So distinct. Yuhi Chala chal rahi from Swades. Those beats. Just a couple of those beats can tell you that it's this song. So wonderful is it's creator. A. R. Rahman. I adore this man.
There is a man whom I equally hate. Himesh Reshamiya.He's a guys whose songs too I can identify in two seconds.But the difference is that in the third second I change the channel. National nuisance, that's what I fell about him.
