Antartica in Dubai

AA has left the company and now a new one called moon-moon has joined in his place. AA has however pledged to return as AA part 2 , like bat man returns this could be titled as AA returns and a tag line attached to it that says ‘ with more laughter!’ . Well, we surely then will have a laser show to indicate his return.

I received a book as his parting gift with a tea set for the manager as the goodbye gift. ‘So that she thinks of me every time she drinks tea in it’, grinned AA.
‘ And laugh while having it?’ , I thought on my mind looking at him.

The day has started and am feeling under the weather. I wonder what the day has in store for me today. I promise myself to reduce the intake of coffee everyday however the moment I step into the office and with the air conditioner turned up to make us feel we are living in Antartica , I find myself moving towards the coffee shop or the coffee machine automatically. I remember seeing it once on a website, I guess it was the emirates website, where people who were travelling to the UAE were advised on carrying sweaters to keep themselves warm inside buildings as the air conditioners in them are in good working condition.

Lisey's Story

I guess I have made another bad purchase on a book! Stepehn Kings 'Liseys Story'. I just cant seem to bring myself to turn the pages or get myself interested in that book! Looks boring!For some reason I was under the impression that the story is somewhat related to the likes of movies like ' Gothika' and 'What lies under', but when I started reading, I felt that this was something else and 'click', my interest in it just switched off.Just like that, like a 'click'.Now it lies on the table, unwanted with its red cover and a outline of a spade on it. Now that explains it. I saw the spade and read the summary of the book on its back and thought that the story is so and so... my mistake!

Maybe the book is indeed nice but I guess that I will have to wait for one of those days now when reading anything will suffice to pick up this book again.

Movies...

Am back to blog again and I have the music of Akki bhai’s ‘Singh is King’ on the background.

I and my friend were looking forward to the release of ‘Dostana’ and unfortunately the same is only releasing on November 14th. For some reason, I was under the impression that the release date was somewhere last week and so was disappointed when I came to realize that its only next week. Looks like my activities have currently and for the time being zeroed down to ‘watching movies’!! What a disaster however I enjoy watching movies and make sure that I enjoy it to the max – which is the reason I don’t like any sort of disturbance while watching it at the movies. I have to have my nachos, popcorn, coke, chocolate whatever and I should be there even before they show the promos of other movies. From the beginning to the end, I want to watch it all PLUS no sort of disturbance please which includes wailing kids and untimely ringing of mobile phones!!

I went to watch ‘Fashion’ last week and enjoyed it however there was this kid with a couple seated back of me which was wailing and beating and making noises occasionally . Now, even though I love kids, at that particular moment, I wished I could throw the kid out!! I was irritated and amused at the same moment; amused at a couple of guys sitting in the same row as I and laughing at parts in the movie which wasn’t funny at all and one of them was falling on to the lap of the other guy and guffawing. Some people are really weird…
