Thunderstorm

Wow… My weariness, my anger, my frustration… It’s all disappearing right now at this very minute. It will come back if there is no rain. But the lightning, the atmosphere, the drop in temperature, the smell of wet grounds. It’s feeling great.

I am sitting outside in gallery of my room, sipping iced tea and listening to Batatyachi Chawl by P. L. Deshpande… Easily the best moment in whole month. The lightning is romantic, energetic and it feels soothing at the same time (It was 43 degree Celsius in the afternoon). I just put on some music. Kenny G… Signing off in anticipation of rain…

Update1.0: It IS raining. Too bad I can’t go running on the road singin’ in the rain. It’s 3am and people are sleeping. Not that I care. Anyway, I am off. [Read more →]

Coffee

This is what happens when you have too much time on your hands. I was so bored by (not) studying for a LONG time, that I actually found the old coffee percolator, the ground coffee and brewed a cup for me at 0222 hours, that too with a slight touch of cinnamon.

I actually was not sure whether I should put cinnamon in the coffee. Turns out, I am not a very big fan of cinnamon. It’s tasting okayish but not for me… I must get a coffee grinder and a coffee brewer soon. Reason? Cause I have nothing better to do. That and I love coffee of course.

Next, I am going to try making one of those ice blended coffees. One thing is pretty clear though, no matter how much I mess that up, it will taste good to me in this hell of a summer. 44 degrees!!! It’s too much to handle really. [Read more →]

Spartacus: Blood and Sand

Last month was a bit boring for me, mainly because most of the serials I watch were on break and it was becoming a matter of national security more and more irritating not having anything to pass time with. I ventured on tv.com trying to find some good new serials to watch. It was then when I stumbled across Spartacus. Reviews looked mostly good, produced by Sam Raimi was another positive, the theme of the serial looked good as well – gladiators, blood, war and a bit of roman style sizzle icon razz Spartacus: Blood and Sand

So, I decided to watch Spartacus. I downloaded rented all the episodes of Spartacus and gave it a go. After watching all the episodes broadcast to date, I now have a totally different perspective on this serial than what I had initially. First I had thought of the serial as something which converts the movie Gladiator into a long series with more attention to details. [Read more →]
