Chikadappo

I am in a strange mood since past few days, what i've named as Chikadappo mood. If you put feelings of i-am-bored, i-feel-aloof, donno-wat-donno-why-feeling, wanna-hv-fun-but-how, i-wanna-dance, but i-wanna-be-alone, perhaps-sick-of-my-job all together in a mixer, what you get is Chikadappo. Now I do get these feelings individually once in a while, but these past few days all of them have come all together making the life so boring....

So this post is going to be about unrelated random things, which go well with my current strange mood - equally unrelated and random....

> 31st Aug was a Blog Day! Really??!! Now just like me if you too were totally unaware of this, it's not your fault. The fact is that this year saw the very first Blog Day being celebrated. and If you are wondering why 31st August? then the answer lies in the fact that figure 3108 looks like the word Blog. There are several things that you are supposed to do as a blogger on a blog day, but since i've already missed the bus, i think i can skip them this time. A belated Happy Blog Day guys.... :o) and no i don't want to get into those 'do we really need a blog day?' type of *wise* discussions... I am not in a mood to argue..

> Indian Cricket is fastly loosing its charm, thanks to the performance (or the lack of it) of Men in Blue. This season I am not at all following India's cricket tours, and it's Ashes, which has made me bite my nails.

> Iqbal is a wonderful movie. By looking at his bowling action in movie, Shreyas Talpade, looks like a good bowler in real life as well. Hats off to Kukunoor Dude, it is the first bollywood movie on cricket which has done justice to its subject. (though, Lagaan also did a good job in showcasing cricket).

> PVR Saket, is the worst place in Delhi to watch movies. In an attempt to squeeze as many people in theatres, they've sacrificed on leg space, and your knees always rub against the seat in front of you. To make the matters worse, they were showing Iqbal in Audi 2, which by any standards does not qualify to be called an Audi or cinema Hall. At the very best you can call it a Big Room, and I was seated in the front most row of this big room while my stretched feet almost touched the screen. You can imagine, I could see the cricket ball as big as a football... and the worst part about the entire experience is that even if you are seated in the front row, hardly (so) few feet away from the screen, you end up paying the same 150 bucks that the person in last row pays... PVR Saket sucks!

> I am a new F1 fan since yesterday. I saw an entire F1 Grand Prix, for the first time in my life on starsports and oh boy! how much I loved it. Though it was Montoya who won the race, I was most impressed with Kimi Raikkonen, who finished fourth even after all the trouble with his engine and tyre. The guy was so aggressive. So all you F1 fans, here I am, and Raikkonen is my guy.
afa our desi chap Narain is concerned, it seems he likes to spend more time in the pit rather than on tracks.

> My younger sister has come to stay with me in Delhi, and its most definitely a good thing for her (career wise) and me (personally). However since she is all new to Delhi, and does not have her own friend circle as of now, I also have to see that she does not get bored here. Her coming to Delhi has forced me to be more disciplined (ha!) and responsible (hahaha!!!) in life.
Now though we go quiet well with each other, we are surely not best-friends kind. I have that *elder-brother* image in her mind, specially because in all the time when she grew up from a being a kid into a mature(?) girl, and which was perhaps the best time to be all pally with her, I was away from her, first studying and then working.. only visiting home during vacations. So there was hardly any time to be that much friendly with each other.
I so much want to move from that typical 'big bro-lil sis' relationship between us to the friendly-siblings types. Where we both can share it all between us, just like two good friends do. Lets see if I can be her Dada Cool...

> A blog meet happened in Delhi, and thanks to my Chikadappo mood and some other stuff at hand, I could not make to it. Next time.. may be...

hmm.. i stopped seeing movies in PVR saket *ages* back because of this reason only.. the only PVR which has decent seats is the Gurgaon one.. all the rest *suck*.. Try DT sometime..the leg space will make you vow never to go to PVR ever again.. also try Satyam, the stadium style, makes for comfy viewing..

Kimi Raikkonen - now I m least interested in F1, but since in Rome I should be at least paying attention to Romans, mebbe I shd get interested :)
