How we want to travel.....

As long as i remember i loved to travel. My first travel being at age of 1 month (Courtesy - Mom). Each year we would go to Hyderabad or Rajahmundry in summer vacation and take 2 trips in other part of the year. These travels included historical places, religious temples.

Always aided with history lessons while travelling and eat all varieties of food. This was time when mom has some peaceful time and dad took over us. As time passed and we being 'independent' individuals would mostly argue on various topics - right to Harry Potter (god bless JK Rowling for making my dinner conversations full of magic and mystery).

Even Hrithik roshan's dance was topics of these discussions many a times.

As i grew i was sure i hated traffic and wanted to join a college where its walkable to me. Some major lessons learnt there :(. I ended up travelling in bus to home for 12 hrs with same horrible Telugu movie playing on and on. I still think I'm claustrophobic due to these bus rides.

and my vow to never travel in bus again. then came the train phase. Which was predominant in my childhood, travelling more then 20 hours at times and where people built mini houses in 2-tier coupes. But my latter train travels included, shorter trips - occasionally including Vada pav in morning with Tea.

favorite for course was Pune-Bombay rides where each time i should get on that train - tension prevails cause you need to catch train (bloody 4:30  in the morning), second ensure you do not miss oily omelet and bread while you doze of in front of strangers like a dog, before pune comes ensure fix your hair.

Cut 2, in quest to break free i land in my so called dream city in India - Bangalore and aaghhh!!!

I spend many of my lovely evenings in traffic with nothing but a book reader. At times these just make me thing is this way to travel????

so much so that i hate travelling. :(

I love to travel by plane not because its quick - its never quick - remember in the name of growth when airport is miles away. Its gives me a high - as if Ferris wheel is coming down. 

in spite of all these - it is always something new i get to learn from these travels. Either something new about either of parent. Some new amazing quality patidev has, what i want to do something differnet or can do. How bro dearest is always pain in A**.

Needless to say, travel we must not because it takes us places but enhances our experiences. And i long for my next one....

Bucket list.......

I have quite a few things in my bucket list which i have to achieve.....i have no where came near to thm. i'm yet to bungee jump or even go to coorg for the weekend....and i stay in Bangalore. Yet each year i add to that list. My latest was learn Spanish (after a dearie friend told me dear no one learns German people speak Spanish most in the world.....too much influence of Spanish football on him).

This is on day when i bunked office to contemplate why and what I'm doing in life. Pattidev laughs off and almost falls of bed (ROFL...if you please). He says I'm sure you will get nothing on contemplating. (Wait i need to check th spelling.....)...ah correct one i thy used.

so between bucket list (damn that movie for screwing our lives and making us miserable.) and contemplating my work and life....i decided to bunk office and drink tea all day and cam across very nice website for learning spanish. Lets see how it goes....

back to my bucket list.....something which almost top of was Kenya and hot air balloning with my sweetheart of life and drink bubbly....how ever pattidev as he is refuses to set foot on that continent unless he has a choice and make me wonder if i need to change my busket list.

I still want to go Kenya just to visit rift valley and masai mara and hot air ballooning....

as i grow old each year i revise my list and find i still have one single passion which never left me.

Dance

it never featured in any list and yet when I'm alone i just swirl around the house and smile in poise. Are our deepest things we hold close to our heart are too dear to discuss with anyone or just we hope for it. Bucket list when completed in life, there might be sense of completeness in doing so but it might not satisfy that deep desire when we keep lingering....this hope is what we live for....

Day 3 - Casablanca...

after a gap of one day. Well i kinda sprained my back with these late night movie marathons. Watched casablanca and frankly i do not know who are the actors...got to do wiki on them. the movie was made out of book and i want to read that one now.


well one thing i noticed the girl was beautiful. reminded me of days of sharmila thagore and waheeda rehman. beautiful ladies. Liked the movie, the apt songs but it is not something which pulled me. the love story aspect of the love story did not appeal to me. except the fact that a guy had to wait for girl waiting at a station in rain with eager and latter turned to sad face.


the song "as time goes by".....its awesome....

for me watch it for dialogues and cynical protagonist with sadness in his eyes.


"the world will always welcome love as time goes by".......bonne nuit.....kung fu Panda is in action....so the wisdom of old turtlr or master will come your way tomorrow.


for the starters.....a duck can have a panda son :P....GN :)

Day 2 - A Few Good Men

My favorite Tom Cruise movie. I hate it when Sagar (my bro) can repeat dialogue of Jack Nicholson with same intensity and does not miss a word. Even though it is not in IMDB’s list. The movie is worth a million watch and a day spend on.

Two great and powerful actors and cute Tom Cruise, but he steals the show. Even though I like “ you want me there , you need me there”…..”we use words like honor…..”…..these add the dynamism to the movie and Jack Nicholson takes it to another level.


I’m amazed by the intensity with which Tom Cruise acts. From a person who is all bothers about baseball and his team rose to defend something which is wrong. Sometimes we have things hidden deep down but we just refuse to realize it and bring it out. But surprisingly something major brings that thing out in us. In this process of transformation do we have forget our real self. No, stay connected to who we are.


I saw it first time cause I thought I loved Tom Cruise in it. I see it over and over because the planning , courtroom and baseball bat pulls me. After a bad and long day it was respite.

Tomorrow, Casablanca and Dead Poet's Society.....

Day 1 - Godfather n Inception

all  my movies ran out of my computer. needed new movie to go with my coffee. went out and rented few DVD's from local video shop. those two movies defined something i wanted to do. I have my bucket list but am i trying to complete it????

so here i sit to complete my IMDB top 250 movies.......im starting with Godfather (The Godfather)......read that book so many times.....n movie it sw defining....wat makes it click for me was when u read the book and see the movie u can relate to each charater as if they are born to play those roleas.Behind every fortune there is crime.....and behind this one Mario Puzo.

Inception : the new No 1, nothing can beat it...the movie does not make you sad or happy or you leave the movie without any emotion. It was logically built over a illogiical thing. i was amused by the way it was constructed and to Nolan who even thought about his dreams. Must watch.
