insights out of boredom

i know its been a long time since i last wrote something here and you have been dying to read the next post. so before it gets too late and you decide to bother your neighbourhood chemist for an extra large strip of sleeping pills let me scribble something.

the last few months have been eventful. would love to write about that. but that will have to wait. for the moment let's move on to more pressing matters.

of late life has become too idyllic. its not your regular mini break from a hectic schedule. its the quintessence of laziness. the kind when you sleep, watch a movie, sleep some more and then watch another movie. when you masturbate even if your girlfriend lives next door. just because the phone is out the reach of your outstreched hand.

lying on your bed the whole day can be really boring. so i decided do something to make the laziness interesting and productive. following that flash of inspiration i attempted a few experiments, read a few books and watched a few movies. here are a few random observations/impirical results born out of this novel experience.

- an atrocious haircut is the safest way to get universal attention.

- it is possible to survive for at least 4 days on just fruit juice without feelin hunger
pangs.

- it is risky to consume more than 4 pegs of vodka with an empty stomach.

- people have remarkably varying degrees of patience.

- vikram chandra's 'sacred games' is a boring read. cliched themes and amateurish writing disastrously consumate to produce an autistic child of a book which impresses only with its huge cast.

- 'as good as it gets' is a movie you can watch over and over again. its like a fresh cup of tea in the morning. never ceasing to be refreshing. the romance is subtle and understated. like the pinch of sugar in that cup of tea. adding to the taste without offending your taste buds.

- 'charlie wilson's war' is one clever satire. entertains you. doesn't preach. yet gets the message through. potently at that. on top of that the shapely (to put it mildly) women in the movie add to the 'uplifting' experience.

- 'juno' is a cute movie, but a clear misfit in the oscar nominees list. the background score is cool though.

- the lastest season of 'lost' is a ludicrous attempt at stretching an already overstrecthed concept. 'prison break' continues to impress though.

so much for now. cheers. have a nice day.
