Weekend

Hi all..

I am here now to describe my weekend. Friday was an eventful day. Spent time knowing about myself from the perspective of others. I have a chat friend who tells me how much she detests me but by not verbalizing it too much.

Anyways one of my friend suggested me 2 movies to watch. Forbidden Kingdom and Speed racer. I had put both these for downloads. Speed racer next generation downloaded in one night. Friday morning the first thing that i did after waking up was sitting before the computer to watch the movie. It was just one hour 10 mins movie, animation. With no brains to be used fantasy movie. Not bad. Animation was decent the director seemed to have some story not a strong one. But most animation movies are only for animation part. The cars were nice though the logic for being fast cars and good ones not justified well enough.

Overall i think kids will love this movie. Next forbidden kingdom had 2 of my favorite stars. Jackie Chan and Jet Li. I did not look into the star cast before starting to watch the movie. But finally i like the star cast. The movie had some nice fights specially one which was between Jackie and Jet. Do not expect much of a story. This movie is also about fantasy. But much much better than what Myth was. Though this was missing on the Mallika Sherawat factor, but i would sugest u to watch Forbidden kingdom than Myth.

The dvd rip of forbidden kingdom was nice but i found it frustrating as some part of the movie was in Chinese without any subs. I am habituated to watching foreign movies but ones which have subtitles.

Anyways on saturday being alone utterly bored and not knowing what i wanted to do, i picked up on cleaning the house. Our maid rarely cleans our bedroom as most of the time we would be sleeping by the time she comes in the morning and in the afternoon there is no one in the house. So it has not been cleaned for a long time. Well anyways, i had decided to clean it up and so I did. I had also decided to wash bed sheets. Amazingly it turned out such that i was able to do all this stuff in like 3 hours. I thought washign bed sheets would be easy but that was tough too.

After finishing with the household chores, i had decided to go meet up with my college buddies with whom i have not met like 2 months. Just when i decided to go out, it started raining and i thought OHH not again. I mean i wanted to meet these guys but could not find time on any of the weekends and now jsut when i want to it starts raining again. Luckily i was in one of those moods where i wanted to go at any cost. Barely i moved some 100 mts and there was not trace of rain and people were staring at me (i was wearing a raincoat) like a strange object. It is summer and realy amusing when someone wears a raincoat in summer.

I avoid those unnecessary glances reach their place. These guys were swapping their rooms and i thought oh no, i do not want to do some more of the house hold work. Lucky for me they were almost done and did most of their work on their own. They stay in Indira nagar and power was cut off for most part of the day in that area as declared in newspaper earlier.

So I was at my friends place in summer where there was no electricity. They stay in the fifth floor and have a huge ventatilation in their balcony. There was good circulation of air and since we were on the fifth floor the view was also good. Though not having electricity was kinda bored, we got to sit in open air, (not caling it fresh as i do not how i can call the air fresh when i am staying in one of the most congested city and area which was closer to airport and one of the most non green, no plants around) and it was a cool breeze too.

My friend was practicing his guitar while i was just sitting with them thinking on what all i was upto the last weekend and catching up with them on what my various other illustrious people were doing. Since we were all kinda doing a decent job in our professional life and been in job for 2 years, it was common for me to hear about people getting bugged in their family to get married.

I was curious to know what these 2 guys had to say about when they were getting married and what was their future plans. One of them said he was ready for next year. While the other wanted to do a MBA and only then get married. Anyways i also go to know that another batchmate of mine from my college was already married. (He is the second one that i know of). Now that was some news for me. I did not know if sounded good or bad to my ears but i was feeling something.

Me and my guitar frnd went on a bike ride. I did not want to go again to the CCD on the mysore road once again, as i had been there twice already. We went for a good 70km ride without speeding overly. My max speed throughout was jsut around 80kmph. I would have loved to do 100kmph but could not quite bring myself to do that. It was night and the road we were on was not looking very good. My frnd bought a new bike and wanted to make most of the ride. Finally we came back and i spent the night in their apartment, leaving early in the morning on Sunday.
