That Post...

Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. I am from Pluto. But, Pluto is no longer a planet. Which is pretty sad. It does not 'fit' in anymore. So, it has broken away from the Sun's orbit and wandered off in the wilderness to explore the Universe. And though, its favourite galaxy is Andromeda, it has to begin with the closest stop - Milky Way. And though it always wanted to slide on Saturn's rings, another planet at a little further distance, is making a lot of noise - 'Earth'.So Pluto explores the Earth (*sigh*).

Wait. Don't sigh yet.There's good stuff here.

That Sport:

It's FIFA World Cup this year! So the entire world is gonna go craazzy soon :D. Except the USA (They already are :|). Also, India is busy bickering over Dhoni's captainship. It's time for him to go? Poor guy. Actually not.That's a part of your job description as the captain of the Indian cricket team. Lots of adulation. God-like worshiping. White hair by the time you touch thirty. And finally.One kick in the ass.

That Elections:

Oh, the 'Great Indian Tamasha' is round the corner. Exciting as never before. Congress, BJP , AAP. Who is it gonna be? Vote.Vote.Please vote. Here's how the kids roll down:

Congress: Old kid.We don't want them. Had too many chances.

BJP: Old kid. With a new leader on the block. A visonary. Modi. But, does one man alone run the government? No. Plenty of corrupt officials.

AAP: New kid. Plenty of promises. No past records to prove anything. I say give a chance to the new kid. Especially, when this a a battle of choosing the lesser of two evils. 


That Food:

Recently, Barbeque Nation had hosted a Persian Food Festival. It was nice.The restaurant was decorated as per the theme and the waiters were dressed up like people from Persia.When they come to serve you, they greet you with "Khushamadeed !"(Welcome) and you know the mood is set. A surprise dance performance by the staff and amazing food only added to the experience. Too bad the festival is over, else I would've said, 'Do Visit.'

That Sitcom:

So, there are so many 'situation comedies' on the block. People watch a variety of stuff as per whatever suits their taste. After having watched the latest season of The Big Bang Theory, I have decided that it is the best sitcom ever, for me. The show has not stagnated one bit unlike its counterparts and has something new to offer every time. Also, it is the most naturally progressed show where all characters have slowly evolved from season 1 to 7. This makes it very believable. While Raj can finally talk to women by season 7, Howard has grown from being a gawky loner, to finding Bernadette and eventually getting married to her. Amy has gelled in well,while Leonard and Penny are delightful as ever. Sheldon is a star as always. Season 7 is damn funny and it's still on. So, those of you who want a good laugh,can watch it.
It is much much better than shows like HIMYM where the show goes on and on, characters keep sleeping with one another (for seasons and seasons: what a drag!) and nobody really knows what's going on.

That over-rated stuff:

1. Selfies: I know they the 'in' thing now. But they are stupid. People know that right?
2. Oreos: Oh they really are.
3. Happiness pages: Aren't people bored of them already? Or that of the 'incessant' Happiness updates? Happiness is ..."etc etc". *yawn*

P.S: Ok, don't hate me now.

That comic:




That song:

And finally, a voice that lingers with you even after you've heard it :)This is Lata at her best and an amazing musical composition. What I really like about the song is how it begins slowly from a distance and takes over you later. Such a classic. The movie 'Mera Saaya' was pretty nice too. It was a suspense story with a supernatural angle to it. Funny, how Bollywood back then, would make movies ahead of its time. And now we can't make a single decent one.

Moonlight Dance..

The two kids floated in the air. Spinning around the moon. Tiny figures bobbing, to a playful tune. She said she'd make a dress, from the fine threads of the moonlight. All he wanted to do, was swing on it. In circles, they bickered. Holding their stance. And spent all night, in a moonlight dance. -Merci

Thy Majesty - The Mountains

Recently, I struck an important point off my bucket list. I visited the mystical lands of Leh-Ladakh which encompasses the north-most part of India. Off late this place has become a hot tourist destination. So much, that probably it is very fashionable to visit Ladakh these days. Or maybe, not. I would like to share my experience with everyone so that they know what to expect and most importantly, what not to expect out of this place. We had an 8 day trip to Leh. We met many people on our way, forged new friendships and enjoyed our time there.We visited Leh in the end of May which is probably the beginning of summer( in other words: start of the peak season) in that place. Having said this, the weather was not very warm over there. Temperatures stayed low and you required your thermals, jackets et all. The sun rays beat down on us during the day. The open skies and elevated heights did not help much either. We witnessed a contrasting play of nature at work as the cold ...

Destiny

Michael Schumacher, one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time, recently met with a freak accident while skiing in the French Alps. A tragic incident for the seven-time world champion who is now battling for his life at the Grenoble University Hospital, France. This news came as a shock for many. Even for those who do not watch Formula One. Plausibly because Schumacher is a much loved figure all across the world. People have atleast heard of his achievements and know what that man stands for. I remember when I first read this news, it deeply saddened me. Formula One is one of the many sports I follow and am undeniably in complete awe of.I have always admired the F1 drivers zooming past on the circuit at the speed of almost 350 km/hr , lying in uncomfortable sleeping positions and taking as many as about 50 laps on an average.I believe their focus, stamina and control is extremely commendable and worthy of several praises.I personally think, this sport is a spectacular display ...
