Once upon a time, civilization fucked mankind, just a victim.

My Favs

Movies
Shawshank Redemption-good movie..watch without expectations(contemplate afterwards and google(used as a verb here))..whatever happens..DO NOT GOOGLE BEFORE WATCHING THE MOVIE.
The Silence of The Lambs-I am totally in love with(read am intrigued by) the breakout character(it is based on a book) or , as I like to call him, the protagonist.
Matrix-we take so many things for granted and everything that happens around us can have so
many different explanations also Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind for the same reason (MATRIX provides a good model).
Goodwill Hunting-Matt Demon(deliberate) is god (deliberate)
Forrest Gump-Wondering why this features in my favs? Well..BAZINGA (google it)..It infact, does not..It is highly Overrated.
Notting hill-good dialogues, and don't you just love the way, they(the britishers) speak ?
If Only-saw just a few scenes..liked because of the above mentioned reason.

Current fav song-Fireflies.
Favourite Sitcoms-The Big Bang Theory,Two and a half men.
SitCom is Situation comedy and not situational comedy.

Amen.

p.s. All the choices mentioned above aren’t mine. I haven’t seen any of them, although my hypo critic self could state these , but I’m on yet another mission, mission honesty! These are my dear friend’s views. At gunpoint she made me write that misplaced ‘amen’ :

Science

To begin with, I'm a science undergraduate, back in school, when i wasn't keeping well and scoring bad*, the entire world told me to quit the idea of pursuing sciences, the idea of studying it.Every other significant,insignificant person in my life contributed to this debate,all with the same suggestion; Quit Science.How could I ? "Why not",they asked, I couldn't say "because i watch discovery, i like science" or prolly "because i need to know how stuff around me works,I want to study science" because this legitimate argument was inacceptable in all forms (for obvious reasons) I couldn't tell anyone that I loved every bit of it, i want to understand the world i live in, its might, the nature, its fury, and the fact that whatever happens has a reason, unlike something like existence of god (Sorry, couldn't help it).Btw this is one of the things on my mind these days , i need to get rid of this habit of talking about god under any inappropriate topic.Coming back, I wanted to learn. Every other detail about nature universe everything especially in that phase when i realized humans cannot know everything about anything. And my curiosity grew.I sucked academically* but that has nothing to do with my learnings (the world laughed,quitting it seemed a saner option,to them) I didn't regret.Then, my brother gifted me this book "Surely you're joking mr. Feynman" and i loved it again. It looked like a whole new world had emerged out of those odd 300 pages,Discovery internet books natgeo history every little thing contributed to my love and respect for science.It takes me off this world beyond the worldy webs, I stand in awe, feeling so small, like an atom.

p.s. - prolly is a slang for probably ( Didn't feel like changing the word altogether)
- I don't have a record who wrote the quote (hence, no credits here)
- Just reali'z'ed , it doesn't take 's' for the word "realized".

To SG

So, here I am writing my first blog, wanting to do this since 48 weeks and 65 hours (Ok,that was random) Who inspired me ? This guy SG , all he told me is "start blogging" and after reading his blogs for 4.34 hours (not exaggerated) I'm quite influenced by his overall personality,he dares to dare.Dares to dream(which although rendered him jobless) and started up his own company (which doesn't earn :|) but the vision he has, his clarity of thought , and THAT clarity in his words.I couldn't figure out yet what was that,that kept me going, that one thing which made me read it all.Perhaps, the honesty? This guy is one helluva difficult person ( as I perceive, which may not be true for others), intimidating,blatantly honest (Yes, i'm still praising).
I chose to write blogs for certain reasons :
1. I can write.
2. As a measure to instill positivity in me, lets see.
3. To interact with masses.
4. To enhance my vocab (3 minutes back, I could not spell this word 'perceive' , horrifying ! )
5. To get rid of the SMS lingos , and thereby disrespecting literature (I like exaggeration :D)
6. And Yes, i can write :)
