The list

I took a mini vacation recently - mostly due to official reasons but that never stops me from taking advantage of an All India holiday to stop by for a little longer and spend some good old quality time with great friends.

And that's what I did!! We had a brilliant time!! I went and did a bit of girlie shopping - bought New Moon, the second in the instalment of Bella-Edward's romance; bought a cool lipstick (Brandy shade - suits me don't you think - you may comment on this if you so wish) and ate gol gappas - always a treat (wasn't even sick later). Later on that evening we traded gossip stories and I ofcourse got high on the conversation (what else does one get high on!!).

Then the next day my friend cooked the most amazing uttapams for me and then I went out to a really cool restaurant, again with my friends and we ate like pigs .... then I sat and watched Karz (the remake version). My two friends could not believe the changes from the original and I (who didn't know the definition of Karz till I watched this film) actually cannot wait to see the original version now!!

Ok, but enough about the great time I had. What I wanted to talk about was the next film I saw. Now my friends, who I was staying with, told me that since one had to go to the gym and the other had her rounds at the hospital, I would be free for a couple of hours and should watch this excellent film called Dasvidaniya.

If you haven't seen it - do!! It is simply awesome.

It's about a chap who has always played by the rules. Every morning he gets up and writes a list of things to do. He's pushed around by everyone at work; and doesn't have much of a life.

Then some sad circumstances make him want to rethink his whole existence. And that's when the real story begins.

He makes up a list of things to do - and really genuine heartfelt things - like finally proposing to his lifelong sweetheart, buying a brilliant sportscar, taking a trip abroad and meeting up with a childhood buddy, showing up his boss and even finding love.

All very cute, very emotional - it'll make you cry... and I haven't done that in a long time thankfully!! :)
