I am not doing anything even remotely close to it at this time. What I am doing is, watching a lot of movies and serials. I started with Californication, I then tried catching up with True Blood. I also watched Push, Blind Side, the International and the Condemned. I thought Condemned deserves to go first, mainly because I want to get back into the rhythm and this movie can be reviewed without the rhythm – it simply sucks.
The Condemned is a movie about savages. Some crackpot jackass millionaire (maybe multi) thinks it’s cool and justice to drop 10 criminals on death sentence on a deserted island, unknown to all the governments and intelligence agencies, and make them compete for 30 hours against each other in a match till death where the sole survivor gets to live, beating the death sentence.

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 →]

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 →]
