The Dead man's Chest

I have been itching to write about this since last Sunday , thats the time I watched this movie.
If I give my opinion, I just loved the movie inside-out. I had gone with a lot of perceptions in my mind ,as to what will be the sequel of such a good predecessor to it The Black Pearl will be like?

But to my mind's creative satisfaction , I found the successor to be equally good and better involving than even its predecessor. I just loved the special effects Disney has gone all out to potray in the movie. Davy Jones is simply awesome nad its a movie not to be watched on the television , but on the big screen , if you really wanna enjoy the beauty of the creativity flowing abundantly in the movie.
Though I got the third row from the front ,but still I can say , I enjoyed watching the movie better then many which I have watched in the 3rd row from the back :) . Captain Jack fully lived upto his expectations and he is still the favorite with that RUM bottle never parting from him and Keira is looking very beautifuk (though this time she does not have much of a role to play).
The sea monster , I would say , could not have been better. The tentacles so life like and the aura so frightening. Davy Jone's sailors have had the best makeup artists in Hollywood , maybe. But. in one word , the make up work was applaudable. The movie has had some of the best Film sets lately.

The ending of the movie was equally mysterious and has me already waiting for the sequel. I heard though ,that both this one and its sequel were shot parallely and that the new movie will be out by winter. Its a good news if its true. This time Captain Borbossa has to show his magic moves and one of the biggest questions is , after the Black pearl gone , what will take them to the other end of the earth , they have to tread to find Captain Jack.
I would just say that if you have not seen the movie yet , "Go watch it !!!"

The eye of the beholder

Did a lot of shopping over the weekend , ohh!! the power of money; its so difficult to resist the lure of buying something that pleases the eye of the beholder (which is me in this case).

A very good channel called Travel and Living (courtsey Discovery Channel), showcases some of the most beautiful houses , vacation homes , vacation destinations and a lot of eating places across the world. I just love to watch the channel , the columbus in me pushing and urging me to do something which will enable me to start a new journey of discovery across the beautiful world. I wish I could be so lucky to be able to depart on such a journey.

I have become the Unix doctor here, cometh any problem in the lab I am called upon to be an angel in disguise and solve the glitch. Am just installing a solaris remotely, watching the monotonous progress of the task bar which is moving at a slow rate of 1% /30sec perhaps. The stomach is growling , hungry for a byte or rather a full dinner.

Will write more!!!

Why am I confused?

The legions of confusion are ruling my head these days.. I don't know what direction should I shoot the arrow in to hit the Eye of the target or rather What my target is ?
Sometimes I wish life was simple enough to make some sense of it , but the truth is that it gets complicated as the days pass and the years get added up.

There are invisible responsibilities , expectations and some not called for duties which you have to perform sometimes by wish and sometimes by will , though the former is a seldom affair. And now, what the heaven , I am confused as to what should I write on. Ahh!!! Here is the answer , write anything.

A week ago Honda Civic was launched in India , I really am in love with the car , but when I shuffle my pockets only some coins fall out , when I compare my money to the cost that car is. But man!! It sure is dammn sexy, sometimes I think "Hey!!! When will you drive this car?" with the state of the art Honda fly by wire system , shifting the gears from the steering wheel itself. Ahh!!! What a beautiful dream... someday it might come true is all that crosses my mind after the cat of though crosses my mind.

I am still on the lookout for something that makes me love what I am doing , I wish I find that something soon enough and that day , I would say that life has a meaning.The thin lines between individuality and crowd has started vanishing somewhere for me, it was a visible one earlier. I am perhaps successfully bitten by the fangs of procrastination... I am finding the anti-venom , the cure , I wish it was that easy with the poison now adoring every single blood cell in my body.
Lets see how things work out , I will surely be able to kill this monster eventually. "HAHAHA " the knight in shining armor inside my head laughs, he says "Dont worry , we will together defeat this beast" ...and I give sigh of relief and continue with the ongoing , prolonged and seemingly never ending battle with my worse enemy ..."My Mind" ..let the battle continue and be waged till the mind is conquered by its master.

I think I am back

I have been away from my blog for a long time now... My writing instincts , I thought, had started failing me. But then I thought ,thought and thought and came to a conclusion that I should resume writing.There were perhaps a lot of varied reasons or I could say excuses for not writing this long, but now I think I should and would be continuous in writing to this blog.

A lot of things have changed since the time , I wrote the last entry on this blog (though I had been visiting the blog time and again). I got my laptop is the most obvious change I notice , as the keyboard is the primary instrument to fill all this space over here. ;)

The world for me is on the roll and things are going on at a pace , perhaps not according to my liking. The weekends go fine with some rest and movies at times. Though its been long since I have seen some good movie. I am waiting for the Pirates of the Caribbean to be captivating now. Superman was a disappointment , its been made too longish to be an action movie. Instead Spiderman was better, in the sense that it was short and interesting as a mini skirt ..hehe.

A lot of new things happening in the Indian automotive front too. A lot of new cars too , but the bad news is that I am not buying one anytime soon. I wish I was in the USA , at least I would have been driving a car of my own ...lol...

I think my mind has become full of junk and lots of scrap now , it really has refused to budge from the rustic roads it has wandered onto from quite some time now. I don't understand what happen to all my good things ...hehe... Sometimes I think people don't like me too, maybe its all an illusion or whatever, but it sure is one of the manifestations of a brain like mine , which has been stopped from being used voluntarily by me. I have to start doing something to oil to beast back to life , the rust is of the proportions of may be the Titanic lying on the ocean bed now since 1912.

Jokes apart , lets see what do I figure out to smoothen the ropes of the anchor , so that I can pull it back up and get the ship rolling with the sails on the full high and the mast clean and shining. Hoisting the flag would be some time away though, I hope and I know someday I will hoist a nice one though.(and not the pirate one though :) )

Like they say "I wish I could..."
