So a couple of my colleagues (read 25 somethings...males) are getting married sometime this year. This gave two of my cosest friends in office (GR and SM, both married) the opportunity (again!!) to pounce on me with their "so whats ur plan?" "its time already" "what on earth are you waiting for??". Ok ok, so lets be fair to my friends.. I will be 26 next month, I am in a serious relationship for the past 2 years.., I am not looking out for any other options. So what is it that is stopping me from taking the final ('final' sounds rather scary..like a point of no return) plunge ('plunge' is no better!!). Well I began my attempt to explain my point of view (point of view being - I am happy as is, I do not see any fayda of getting married, I am not THAT old etc. etc) to SM and GR, and I strated hyperventilating..an all too familiar feeling in the pit of my stomach, which is how I react when people start discussing marriage with me.
Dont get me wrong, I am not opposed to the institution of marriage..come to think of it I am rather indifferent to it... but that does not really mean that I wish to be one of those rebellious sorts who do not feel the need to get married. I am sure one day I will feel the ned to get married, but I am afraid that day will be somewhere in my late 30s and since I know the feeling of 'need' will arise so late in life and that I cannot really wait to feel the 'need' I will have to tie the knot way earlier than that and that too for no good reason. And imagine the kind of responsibilities that will accompany that step.. I will have to make sure that my house is spick and span, the food cooked at my place is delicious, I may need to install a landline, I will have to have a proper pujaghar , I will no more be able to entertain people by organising a byob with plastic cups and plates. The list is endless. But I guess you lose some you gain some (I am still wondering though...what is it that one gains by marriage??)!!
cheerios!!

Of Hangovers, Rains and the Underworld
Last weekend I saw Hangover and I am totally hungover on it!! brilliant movie..will keep you in splits from beginning to the end. And Alan, as the the to-be-groom's brother in law, is hilarious with his "one man wolf pack" speech and mindblowing poker-face dialogue delivery
It was such a pleasant change after watching duds after duds that were being released in the past couple of months. In fact Hangover is the only really good movie that I have seen after Dev D.
I loved the soundtrack of the movie too, especially Danzig's "Thirteen" which is played around the beginning of the movie and Flo Rida's version of "Right Around" that is played at the end, so much so that I ensured that I have the OST of the movie amongst the many thousand songs on my palylist.
I went to watch the movie on Saturday and boy was it raining on Saturday!!! It seemed like a huge hole came open in the sky and water kept tumling out of it. I must have been in the out for a split second (making a dash from the taxi door to the pavement) and I got completely drenched and CC who was accompanying me to the movie was so soaked that we had to immediately shop for a new replacement wardrobe for him (right from footwear to shirt and shorts)!! But it was good fun.
We also bought Tombraider Underworld and that game is sooooooooooo tough, that I am still stuck in first level and exhausted with the constant exploration not resulting in anything. These days though I go through the walkthroughs available on the internet before getting on with the game, else I would keep getting lost and stuck. I would not think of it as "cheating" as I am simply taking assistance from someone (many many thankyous to the thoughtful walkthrough providers) who is more capable/better equipped of handling the demons/secrets of the Underworld than I (poor me...I am just your average girl-next-door) am.
right?? right!!
