Happy New Year all! Have been away for a while and was busy with other things. I have not been reading your posts so give me some time to catch up.
Some random questions that I have been thinking about
- Why do kids fall sick one after another no matter how many precautions one takes?
- Why are some people so rude in their manner for no reason? What is the best way to deal with such people, snap back or handle them calmly or show them their place. I would personally love the third one :).
I did watch a few movies in the past days: Bol (Pakistani movie) — a sad tragic tale but very moving, Allah kay Banday (a crime thriller about kids who turn criminals) — engrossing, 3 Idiots (again for the umpteenth time) — I never tire of this one. I read a couple of books too and am midway through “The Litigators” by John Grisham. Just a question — have you ever felt satisfied reading an Indian author? I read one recently and the word that came to my mind is popcorn fiction. They can be bestsellers, but they make for very pedestrian reading. What could be the reason for that? I hated Arundhati Roy’s Booker winner — she just rambles on and on. Aravind Adiga’s book was very dark and depressing — I guess a formula to win a Booker is to make the jury sleep before they can finish reading. Aatish Taseer really writes in a confusing manner. I just read half of “Noon” and gave it back to the library. Chetan Bhagat — only liked his first one, resolved not to waste time on reading him anymore after “Two States.”
And no I didn’t do anything on New Year’s Eve or rather did what I do every year, slept off before 12 :). I just don’t have it in me to party till late night. I actually hate noisy parties and hate traveling after midnight on roads filled with drunks. I’d rather have a cozy get together with a few friends or just be at home watching TV or a movie.
We had left Coco (our dog) at a dog boarder’s and what do you know — he has got so many ticks :(. I have to do tick treatment on him now. It is so painful. Every time we are away, Coco has to be boarded and carries some disease or the other. But, it is great to have him back :), my sunny boy!
New Year Resolutions — Never make any is my policy :). What I have to do or need to do, I will do anyway.
So, back home and back to work! Hopefully, this year will be better than the last!
