Khatta Meetha (2010)

Named after the Haldiram snack, this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Priyadarshini has a fan following. This truly disappointed. The script was botched up, I can't imagine laughing after seeing a bus full of people dying because of poor construction. It was all in bad taste I felt.

I don't think anyone liked it in the hall.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS.

Fallen (lyrics) by Sarah McLachlan

Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.

Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Knight and Day (2010)

A slightly older, but very fit Tom Cruise, with a slightly older, but equally fit Cameron Diaz, in a sweet but packed with action film about a rogue secret agent and an unprepared side kick.
I liked the film. It had gotten good reviews in all the newspapers and what every one was saying was that it was funny, full of action and had something for everyone.
Hence, I decided to go and watch it, along with my husband and our grandmom.
Our grandmom hadn't been for an evening show in 15 years, so she was quite excited about it. I was looking forward to the popcorn and candy.
We all agreed that the film was good.
It's not easy to pick a good movie these days. Film tickets are getting expensive and it costs around Rs 1000 per evening if you go out to watch a film and there are three of you. So you have to be particular about what you're watching. Now that is only ofcourse $25. But then, we don't earn in US $!!
Now my husband and I had a mini fight yesterday. Sometimes he is so silly I cannot even imagine why he does what he does and when he does it why he doesn't realise it ain't a good idea. Sheesh, it's a good thing that he has people to watch over him. I hate to say it, but it reinforces my ideas about men. They really do need to be guided by us women - though they won't admit it.
They're lost without us.

Dexter Season 4

Now last weekend I was sitting and painting and watching the special they had on Dexter - Season 2 all day long. See I was painting but the house felt empty, so I decided to switch on the television and presto - on was Dexter Season 2 all day long.
That's when I got hooked. So I decided to watch Season 4 which airs everyday after work.
It is good. Dexter Morgan is played by Michael C Hall, who is actually a joy to watch. The last episode in this season is very sad though, and very creepy. I just can't believe that it happened!! I don't want to give anything away, so I won't say anything.
But it was sad. And so unnecessary. John Lithgow was good as the psychotic killer. I just wish Dexter had gotten him earlier.

Painting

I have started a painting for my Anniversary. It is our first - One year anniversary coming up. I've painted us with a peacock. It's coming out quite nicely.

I love Madhubani style of painting. It's so pretty and calming. The border really emphasises the figures and there is a certain poignancy to the style. I hope my husband likes it.

I hope to complete it by tomorrow, cuz my new job is starting and I don't know if I'll be able to finish once Monday starts.

I'm looking forward to my new assignment. It'll be challenging and I hope I get some good cases and pointers for my orders.

When I'm painting I keep the television on - so I'm watching stuff like CSI, Sleepercell, Dexter at the same time.

I've started lagging behind on my exercise regime which is not good. I should get back on track. A weight of around 49-50 is optimal for my height. I'm right now above that which is not good. I should be walking more than I am at present.
