slight change of fortune over the last few days. after almost 2 months, i feel totally like myself and for a change my doc agreed with me. dont have to see him again (-:
was on the floor reeling and laughing and wanting to puke all at the same time. ever heard about weasel coffee? trust me, you dont want to. as the name suggests...its coffee associated with a weasel and according to me coffee at its perfidious best. this coffee is actually made from beans that have been "regurgigated" (in layman's terms..pooed) by weasels in vietnam. its supposed to be a connoiseurs delight. i wonder what the hell they were smoking when they invented this. or maybe some american soldiers denied their daily caffeine during the war... (-:
either way...vietnam is apparently causing a coffee glut and bringing prices down. so dont be surprised to find vietnam coffee and weasel coffee added to the starbucks menu soon.
another thing that made me cry and laugh at the same time: fahrenheit 9/11. people leave the showing hall worried crazy that they are ruled by crazy ass loons and laughing about the whole thing. i guess most cant do much about it. there are times when i am happy that i dont have a vote here...i cannot be held responsible in any way for the mess created.

master of my domain
ever lived alone? i mean alone alone? i am right now the master of well...a 2 bedroom apartment and without a room mate. have to get through summer this way. first few days, the empty room seemed to tease me. so i threw all my junk in there (robin ...if u are reading...ur rooms trash now..!!!)
then suddenly i realised...i am master of my domain. i cant recollect where the hell i got this catchy phrase from. (someone help). i think i heard this on some show or maybe one of george carlin's gems. either way...i am right now realising the fact that i partially control the destiny of a few square feet of real estate. its another matter that i pay through my nose to do it...but i wont realise it till ...maybe the end of the month, when the nose part comes into play. am making a list of things to do when i am alone: cook in the buff, maybe actually clean this damn dump, redecorate (haha..am losing my mind), invite strangers over, have a party and trash the place,....
heard the audio from the 9/11 commission. brought a chill to the spine. not that i am a very sensitive kind, but hearing a killer talking to his victims when he alone knows the crime to be brought upon them is ...well, fiendish. the first thing i remembered when i heard this tape was strangely thane in india. more specifically a sad bus stop that no longer exists. thats where i was when i heard the news.
wrote this blog over a few hours. kept the window open and typed in it on and off. might do this, much better than trying to cram in a day's memories in a few minutes.
btw...what do u get when you throw a grand piano on a) a army base b) mine
a) flat major b)a flat miner

one month one day
thats the time since i last blogged. sorry to say this...but it hasnt been an easy ride. i will get back with details soon. in short....i havent been the luckiest guy. fell ill, took some time to recover. not ill enough to be bedridden, but ill enough to suspend activities like blogging.
i am not too sure my lucks gotten better, so wont comment on it right now. will wait till i tide over things and then write an account.
Read lot many books over the last one month. the ones that struck me as being superb:
1. Fahrenheit 451: superb, awesome...if you haven't read this, i take the pleasure of being the one who introduced you to a good book. This one makes a lot of sense today. I feel the message is not against censorship by the government, but rather self-censorship by people in order to be politically correct and so that everyone is happy. share your thoughts.
2. galapagos: pretty good read. liked the satire.
3. life of pi: brilliant...but some parts of it were kind of stretched out. but yann martel does a good job of keeping us glued to the book.
saw quite a few decent movies too: one was catch-22. not as great as the book, but i loved the effect of the opening scene. something that the book couldnt do. another was "y tu mama tambien". HOT. saw the rated version, cant imagine what the unrated one is like. but i liked the presentation. so different from hollywood. an easy narrative style of presenting. liked it.
