The 2 Idiots !!

I think we have been out of touch with the bolly movies, says the hubby to an almost sleeping wife. I nod placidly.

He continues his wisdom ,the only way to enjoy Bollywood movies , is to keep watching them.

I smile , meaning to say yes baby ,that is the only way one will remember to leave logic and brain in the closet before the movie starts.

I get his dilemma.He is trying to explain to himself ,why we didnt enjoy the movie , which by the way was highly recommended by friends and family.

He fears he is losing his Indianess.

I had read reviews, read about the author director fiasco over the story credits.

So I was better prepared than him to be disappointed.

Actors didnt look like their part , neither was the dialogues original ,most of the jokes were old and stale , and to top it all was the delivery scene.

Exhausted and brain dead , I dragged my sorry self to bed.

When the Mr. came up with his last and final straw , you know he says , we should look at bigger picture , the message, that is what is important

.I roll my eyes , didnt you get it ? he asks.I pretend not to care ,he continues ..it is all about following your heart.

I turn around to say ,what bullshit ,and hear his peaceful snore ,glad to have found a good enough reason to like the movie .

I believe that day there was no 3 idiots but 2 .The two of us ,sitting through the painful hours ,one trying to find a reason to like it and another all the while asking herself ,what did she do to deserve this.

Looking back

Last year started with a bang , on the new years eve ,we were out partying till the wee hours ,dropped dead on the bed and got up around afternoon of the new year.
This year we were at our new apartment , lying on the couch ,watching a movie.We welcomed the new year sipping Sparkling grape juice.What a difference a year can make , that made think about the past decade
The decade saw me entering the college, getting to know the world outside my home, earning a degree ,joy of finding close friends ,college romances, gossips ,night outs, goodbyes.
Stepping into the professional shoes ,pleasure of earning the first salary, having a bank account , emptying the whole account on shopping sprees.Joys of romancing ,dating .
Change of title from Miss to Mrs,pain of stepping into new role, enjoying the new life .
Deciding to travel half way across the globe, settling in a new country, a new culture , getting to see the four seasons.
Decade can transform a naive college girl , to a career lady , to a wife .
I wonder what is in store for the next decade.Maybe a facelift :)

It is a NEW year !!

So much to look forward in this year, I am so glad that 2010 is here.
Wishing everyone a very happy 2010.
