Weekend!

Vishal Bharadwaj's much awaited 'Omkara' has been released and I want to watch it on big screen only. The songs sound good, especially the two on Bipasha, probably because they have that Hindustani flavour. My best chances of watching it will be in Mangalore this weekend I guess. I want to check out that new Multiplex and also try it with the kid for the first time. I think we'll all have fun!

This week has been one of the most boring of my life, mostly listening to all sorts of stories. Surprising why they think women are the ones who gossip. I've been only the listener all this week. Actually, I've been so all my life I suppose. The worst of this kind was a senior of mine in college who took me to a coffee-shop and told me that he was smitten by a classmate of mine and didn't know what to do. I had no idea how people went about in such cases and could only mumble some understanding words. Uh, quite awkward!

The kid has become quite naughty and I can't decide whether my parents have more fun or trouble with it. Every day he learns something new and I'm missing it all. I can always hear him humming something or the other whenever I call up. I'm surely going to have an eventful weekend this time!

Lazy...

Haven't been doing anything properly for a long time. They haven't allocated me to a project yet and all I do is chatting with my batchmates and once in a while when I feel very guilty, reading some book. Not even a comp! I wish there was some place near the office where we could go trekking or something.
About this business of Prince, the 5-year old who was rescued from the well - I can only say I'm thoroughly disgusted. I mean, why give him cash rewards? First of all, it's the duty of the parents to take care of him. Alright, he fell into that well by chance and people brought him out. Wasn't that enough? Why give him money on top of that? We somehow find useless ways to spend good money.
It hasn't been raining here at all.
I got my harmonium finally and am quite obsessed with it in spite of P's mock protests. I know he wants to have a go at it too but wouldn't admit it!

Busy....

I've joined the job, finally. The same old place but mostly new faces. I seem to know more Security personnel than the employees. Except for P and a couple more, all my batchmates have quit. I have a new set of batchmates this time, most of them younger than me, and I feel like an old lady showing them around. Want the real work to start soon.
Two more classes of Hindustani music are over and I really love it. I can identify the notes with some amount of difficulty and I feel great. But my teacher says it will take me at least five years to sing really well! Oh, I hope I'll be able to sustain this thing for that long. I do want to be able to sing well.
