Blog abhi baki hai mere dost...

This almost sounds like alien territory to me; revisiting it after a gorge that is around 8 months apart.
I had practically given up on blogging for the better part of 2008, and it is certain checkpoints like your birthday, that remind you that there is a life beyond the role of bread earning that needs to be exercised.
Reading is another of those long lost passions that I need to reignite in 2009. I'm already planning a dash to the Mountain View Public Library this weekend, to catch up on all the reading that has eluded my eyes since time immemorial. The last thing I remember devouring upon was the 'Godfather', which I enjoyed thoroughly. And then I took to reading the 'Last Don', but lost initiative along the way...
Celebrating birthdays in a place different from your home country has its own ramifications, and I wonder at technical aspects like when should I celebrate it? Should it be as per my current time zone or should I align it with India? Still haven't figured out the answer. I got around it, though, by making myself believe that its on both days, thus having a 36 hour window to rejoice...
We had planned to watch CC2C at the movies a while ago, when we last caught its enticing trailer while watching Singh is King. We were eagerly waiting thru mid January and were tuned to the theatres around that screen Bollywood films; lo behold, when the reviews came out, I was quite disappointed to see that it was a bomber at the BO. Well, that didn't mean we were going to give it a miss, especially in the era of streaming video delights, which friendly desis are eager to help their fellow Indians with. What a spirit of fraternity this movie sharing business is; doesn't it deserve some gallantry award, since the guyz have the cheek to brave the (C) word, in the land where 'sue' is a mighty weapon !!
So ultimately, CC2C or what I abbreviate as C22C or 2C2C or 22C was watched in the cosy confines of our apartment home, and we patted ourselves for being judicious and waiting for some public reviews. Its February and its raining here again; just waiting for President's day to catch up more sleep on the long weekend..ehhhh
