80 hrs..

Its 5 weeks now that i have made any posts into my blog
and when i look back to see what caught me up this whole time it i F.R.I.E.N.D.S...:)
i don't know why but I'm so happy to say that i have finished the entire 10 seasons of this lovely show.. i just loved it so much that i kept watching it. Not just the show,but the bloopers too... and the only thing that i can say is i kept laughing and laughing and laughing....
and in the end when i have calculated that i have spent (10seasons*24shows*20min each=80hrs/3+ days on the whole) i couldn't stop but still keep laughing at the whole thing..

this very idea began when i have seen my friends enjoying like hell with this show.. then i didn't know that it was this fun. a great show put up by David and Martha. i love all the 6 lovely characters and the best was the "How ya doing!!!" guy :)

the beginning was too good. i can still not forget a couple of episodes which made me laugh my guts out. and the shows music, hats off to it too. but the whole thing went a lil boring to the end.. may be the 9th season or so.. not that catchy but on the whole a lovely show... a must watch i say!!!

and in the mean time before i get addicted to another sitcom i would go love blogging :)

my US states knowledge

its been almost 2years that i have been in US and just wanted to test my awareness with the US states.. and to my surprise.. i havent even cleared the 3rd grade in that. Terrible it was!!!! That made me look for some flash games to brush my knowledge in that area. Found some good stuff...

this could help some one learn some Geography now.... :)

The other end of the line

a good movie after a long day leaves us with such good a feeling...
i guess "the other end of the line" can serve that purpose.
another movie based on outsourcing, talking about our Mumbai :)
Jesse Metcalfe looked pretty handsome in the movie and shiya was good too in a couple of her costumes. Over all a one time watch movie

Folkes interested in the movie can get the link below.

FRIENDS

Nothing can beat the happiness of meeting old buddies after a longtime. So Rejuvenating. In this alien country catching up with my old buddies was like meeting my family again. Felt at home for some time. You don’t have to worry what someone is gona think about what you say or what you do. U get the chance of being completely yourself. I don’t know if i have put my words clear enough here, i don’t mean that i am not myself the rest of the time. It just means that whatever it is.. i dont have the fear of losing my best buddies. And that makes it a whole lot of different. They are the people you have not grown up with, you just caught up with them some time back because there were some similarities in the way you think and you have become friends even before you realize. They are the people with whom you can just be yourself, tell them the most silliest things, you don’t mind they laughing at you, those suggestions which you don’t mind taking even if it looks like cribbing, friends with whom you can share everything and you know they will keep your secrets. Friends with whom you fight, and know everything will be fine very soon and you could have a blast again. Those with whom you cannot be angry for a long time no matter how hard you try. Whatever this is, this bond is amazing. You don’t expect anything more than that friendship to continue.

recession

Every morning I try to frame a new positive quote for the day, so that I can stay strong and be bold to take whatever comes my way. But I guess all the positive quotes are coming to an end now. I am tired of being strong. The US economy is going down-n- down every day. Had hope about the status before but now everything seems so bleak. Every morning I here that loads of people have been fired, so many are out of jobs. And I consider myself so lucky that I am not in that bad a position, as the others are. At least I have someone back home who can still take care of me as lovingly as they ever. There are so many well experienced people who have a family, who they have to support at the end of the day, and they are all jobless now. It’s all so bad!!! It’s not a problem forum kind of stuff that I want to open here. But I just want to think if all this pain is worth taking?

Do I have to give so much of mental strain every minute that I do not even have a nice sleep at the end of the day? Is it all right giving so much of pain to my parents who are so far away from me, thinking every minute about what I would be facing in this alien place? Is this United States worth all this??? We Indians have been working so much, giving our best to this country. What would have been the status of this US if not the huge Asian population? Can these guys work as hard as an Asian does? No ways!!! I now think if all we Indian would have worked this hard for our mother land, not expecting the great benefits this country offers, it would have been a brighter more vibrant India by now.

At least I do not have to worry about being thrown out of the country there. And more importantly I can survive happily even with a 100 bucks in my pocket. I will not have to worry about my credit card payments all the while. I will not have to worry about the Overdraft fee or the heavy APR that I would be paying at the end of the day. It’s true that I will have no more of Aeropostale, Abercrombie & Fitch, and No more Hollister, Coach Bags, Prada glasses and Burberry perfumes. But if I want, I can freak out with my friend without the thought that I would be given a ticket, I will not have to worry about my credit history and rather relax at the pani poori bandi near my house. It’s said that “The grass is always greener on the other side” I don’t know if I want to imply to that or say that I have discovered my real longingness to go back home now. For good or bad, recession has taught me new things. I am done thinking about my status, thinking about my bank loan, thinking about all the questions that I will have to face of being jobless.
