I started this post with a purpose - which is lost now. So, I am just going to ramble on. The song playing in my head is Rabbi Shergill's Tere Bin, thanks to a Punjabi friend who translated it for me. I've copied the lyrics from someone's blog and you can find them at the end of this post.
I've had a busy time at work the last few weeks, though it is alright. I am not complaining because I like busy times better than those when I sit twiddling my thumbs, pretending to work. At home, my family has been having a difficult time coping with a lot of things. At times like these, I feel like leaving everything behind and going home. I'm planning a short vacation soon...
I'm supposed to be Elizabeth Bennet - character of Jane Austen - according to a Facebook quiz. Since I like her too, I am happy :D "You are a spunky, vivacious person with wit to spare... and a bit of a temper." A-ha! :) According to Orkut, my fortune reads: You are going to have a very comfortable old age... Well, that's a relief!
I realised something yesterday - It is NOT a good idea to listen to REM's Everybody Hurts when you are feeling a teensy-weensy bit down.
I saw Subhash Ghai's new film called Black and White. It is an honest attempt, but I wonder why Indian cinema tends to blow things out of proportion in order to make them believable. It doesn't work that way with me. I saw Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain, too. Nice movie! I should watch it again, so that I concentrate on the French and not on the English subtitles. :P
That's all for today, I guess. I'll log off now.
