Hi guys. I have been trying to write a poem
for the last half hour and have ended up deleting innumerable drafts already.
That side of my brain hasn’t really been put to work in a good while and let’s
give it some time to catch up.
So what are you all up to?
What
Is the up
I am currently interning at a Tax law firm
and I have to admit I am struggling with all the technicalities. But I believe
learning is a long arduous and painful process and one day like the karate kid
or Akshay Kumar from Chandni Chowk to China , I’ll be all ready and pro to face
the world… or at least get a job.
Ponderings
I am back in Chennai for this month and I
have to admit that it is very weird to be back in a place with only the
skeletons of my past remaining… the souls have moved on to their respective
futures and careers of course. Ah the other side of the brain is finally
starting to flow guys!
It is so scary to think of the future and
where I’ll be in a year. Out of college and with a job hopefully but where?
Here where it all begun once and waiting to begin again? Or there? Or someplace
which my brain hasn’t even processed yet?
It doesn’t help that the helpful elders
keep throwing in innuendos about marriage! Like that is even in the horizon. I
know that the voices will only keep getting louder and my poor grandmom is in
for a rude shock when she finds out that it is not even in the outside of the
picture haha.
Latest
Read
So I have been reading Patriot Games the
book ( yes which became a movie with Harrison Ford in it) The book takes it own
sweet time to come to the point and spells out too many procedures to be any
fun. Worst is the casual sexism and racism which is just impossible to digest
in today’s context. It was quite amusing and ironical to read about an America
which didn’t fear terrorism and the philosophies which shaped the pre 9/11 era.
Latest
movie
I watched the Hell and the High water
yesterday and was really impressed by it. Jeff Bridges , Chris Pine and Ben
foster star in the movie and the screenplay really does a good job of fleshing
out their characters. So much so that even though you don’t agree with their
actions you can still understand their motivations for the same. The move deals
with Armed Robbery in a refreshingly honest way. Also , I think Chris Pine wins
the Chris war with this one.
Latest
Show
I watch like zillion shows at the same
time. Still I would recommend the Aussie show ‘800 words’ , It is a perfect
replacement for Packed to the Rafters. It is about George Turner a recent
widower who uproots his two teenage kids from Sydney to a small town in New
Zealand called Weld. Doesn’t sound like much but the show has created a
beautiful fictious land called Weld with a wide battery of characters who are
all authentic. Each episode manages to be fresh and strongly thematic and I
insist that you give it a watch.
So what is the up with you people? C’mon
you have to warrant this earnest personal post with a comment atleast! Let’s
build a tiny community J
