Movies, sports and all that...

The fag end of my holiday is being spent doing all good things like watching movies and FIFA world cup with friends. There is so much of bonding when one does this in groups. I watched a cheesy, cheap and gross tamil movie called pudupettai. Actually it wasn't as bad as I expected. The sad part was the way they objectified women. They are the "play things". My blood boils everytime that happens. It's quite sad but hey it's also the reality. Dhanush looked quite sick but hey what can you do about a guy like that. The good thing is he does not act like a hero. And there are people making references to his stature throughout the movie. He is the butt of all the jokes. Sneha looked nice but the other lady Sonia Aggarwal looked plastic.

Yesterday I watched a visually pleasing film "fanaa". Kajol looks gorgeous. Aamir Khan does not. Manish Malhotra does really know how to make his women look hot. I did not see why the movie had such bad reviews. It was quite an okay film. I mean atleast compared to pudupettai. Finally the woman shoots her husband in the last scene. Good fun! I don't know why most guys are so unchivalrous nowadays. I mean I am a feminist but hey guys it won't hurt to act a little chivalrous. I've been so put off by the way guys behave. Or maybe I've noticing something that's always existed:). I mean for godsakes hold the door for the lady!!! Don't rush out to go before her and not even hold the door so that it hits her in the face. Yucky bad behaviour.

Last night we watched Germany vs Argentina. WHat fun! But I was quite disappointed about the way it ended. It's always unfair if the deciding factor is the penalties! Poor argentina. There was one guy odonkor who looked asian and was making his presence felt. I'm sure he's from kerala. Has to be a syrian christian. They are the ones who have unique names. A malu friend of mine once told me that if you can't figure out a person's state from their last name, he's probably a syrian christian:) He he...Odonkor's first name is David. Has to be a malu. I also really like frings. He looks like Bjorn Borg playing football!

Tennis- An ode to my love!

 Intra apartment Tennis Tournament After a gap of nearly 7 years I took part in a tennis tournament at my apartment community in Bangalore. Unlike the younger days when I used to participate in league matches, I was a bit rusty on the tournament front. The funny thing is I do not find many women playing in the community. Hence to have a separate women’s tournament at the community is impossible. Therefore I persuaded my tennis male buddies to allow me to participate in the tournament when the idea was first mooted. They did not need much persuasion as they know I am a certified tennis lover like all of them. This brings an important point, most minorities just want to be treated equally and get a seat at the table. Game,set and match I knew my shot of winning a tournament like this was a long one. There were several disadvantages like weight, an average serve, weak backhand and inability to have a good court coverage. The thing that was going for me was my enthusiasm with the game ...

Errr..Arghhh

School is finishing up and generally emotions are running high. There are a lot of things to do. ON top of all this I have been wondering about the human psyche. The words that come to my mind is the "power game". Some people want to always be at the higher end of the equation. Well it's not possible always. I mean the people who generally make the effort to always keep in touch also loose out sometimes. I mean they're also tired. How many times can they alone keep it going? How much of work all these things are! Is ego everything in life? Or is this some sort of message that others have to read. A really close friend of mine is going thru a rough patch now because she was at the lower end of the equation. I always told her it was fine and you do not have to go by book. She was fed up of the mind games and the moves she had to play. It was like constant game of chess. My sister often gets into these introspective moods and I used to blame her then for over analyzing. ...

Snow, Skis and pain

By -
I signed up for a SKI trip organized by graduate student wing at school because I felt I must do something different. I mean for a person from the tropics getting to do something in snow is bloody exciting. So we left in the morning at 6:45 AM for seven spring ski resort. Though it hasn't snowed for a week at pitt these people kind of preserve the snow with some chemicals and something else. So we entered seven springs and it was really cold. The person from the tropics was of course well equipped. Three layers of sweaters followed by the BIG FAT UGLY red jacket. But a girl's gotta do what she's gotta do when it's below freezing. So after the initial ski lesson we learnt the basics of sking. Then it was upto us to practics and try stuff. So I skied for about 6 hours yesterday and right now my feet feel like jelly fish and my hand and feet are swollen. The thing about sking is that one needs to learn from your mistake everytime you fall. But me being a slow learner, took...
