Promises to keep…

Why should keeping a promise be so difficult?! I guess, anything that goes by the name “Promise, duty or responsibility” becomes a real tough task for me! I made a lot of promises to myself this week, and they turn out to be a headache for me!

Some of my “resolutions” for this week…

• To study sincerely for my practical exams! It goes without saying, how hard it is for me to stay with the book!
• Not to tweet until the exams get over… Hmmm this one, I’m able to do it, but seriously with some great efforts to refrain from tweeting!
• Not to watch any movie till Sunday! This one has been quite easy as no movie released last weekend and I’ve watched all the movies that are “worth” watching up-to-date. This “worth” watching list is really compact, you know!
• Not to sleep beyond 8 a.m! Aah this one is the toughest! I’m wondering why! Even if I sleep early, I get up late! I find it really difficult to fall asleep at night, and waking up in the morning is even more difficult! I am an epitome of laziness, isn’t it?!
• Not to skip any meal. I never like to skip my breakfast! But I LOVEEEEEE to skip dinner and on working days I am made to skip lunch. But now I’m not able to have any meal! It’s like I hate eating at all!

Unable to sleep, unable to eat… Hmmmm…. NO! I’m NOT in love! Definitely not! If you are unaware, FYI, in this era, nobody is going to have sleepless nights and empty stomach when in love! And I don’t think I’m going to fall in love when 99% of the guys around me are AGMARK dumb idiots!

Hey skip it!

Okay, coming to my problem, (is it even a problem?!) the differential diagnosis could be “ASE” syndrome! Anorexia and Somnolence due to (or during) Exams syndrome! Seems I am one person who is not going to have insomnia during exams!

Promises…. Noooo…. They suck!!! I shouldn’t have even made them in the first place! I doubt if I will ever even think about the spelling of praamise! Or is it promis?! Oh I don't know! I'll not make any promise anymore, I promise! (Obviously, anything that is a "Promise, rule, resolution or glass"... is meant to be broken!)

For Robert Frost, it was

“But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.”

 

For me, it is going to be

“It is very difficult to wake up from sleep

And miles to go for the promises I have to keep

Just so that after exam results, I don’t have to weep!”

Our National Game…

With the Hockey World Cup matches on, I was just wondering how come our National game suffered such a downfall in our country. It is really heart-breaking to know that a Cricketer is needed for promoting the event on TV! It’s time we woke up!

5 reasons for why hockey should be our National game:

1. Because hockey is a very interesting game.
2. Because only as long as hockey is our national game, it would get enough attention.
3. Because we have a national association for hockey.
4. Because the hockey ground is very big. So when people run across the ground, they lose weight  and become fit and don’t have to go on diet.
5. Because since childhood, we were taught that hockey is our National game.

And there are about a thousand reasons for why hockey should not be our National game!

Some of the reasons that I could come up with, right now:

• There are more interesting games in the world!
• People do not mind much about Indian hockey.
• The BCCI is richer than Indian Hockey Federation.
• The Indian hockey players are not even paid properly by the IHF.
• People like a lot of other games more than hockey.

I guess may be the games on Playstations or Cricket should be made our national game. Cricket has more aspirants for it in our country than any other game and it generates an enormous revenue! Needless to talk about the stardom and glamour enjoyed by a Cricketer!

 

And there’s another game that we all really enjoy… That’s Dumb charades… I’m almost sure it would make a worthy competition with hockey in the contest for our National game!

Brain damaged review!

I watched four movies last week. They were My Name Is Khan, Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya, 50 First Dates and Karthik Calling Karthik.

MNIK and KCK were good... worth watching once. 50 First dates... I loved the movie. A simple story with a sweet presentation. It was Awesome!
Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya... The movie was tolerable till Mannipaaya song. After that I just couldn't stand any nonsense from Jessie! Apparently, Gautam Menon has deliberately characterized her so. But the hero and heroine have really given their best for this movie and they look their best too!

Of the four movies I watched, the lead roles of three movies had some kind of brain damage.

Rizwan Khan in My Name Is Khan suffered from Asperger's syndrome, Lucy Whitmore in 50 First Dates suffered from Short term memory loss, Karthik in Karthik Calling Karthik suffered from Schizophrenia.

And Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya?! Well, the director was brain damaged! And yeah, finally when we walk out of the cinema, we would have definitely suffered some damage!
