The Departed.

I just love this movie, 'The Departed'. Has watched quite a lot of times, don't remember how many.Still, I can watch it again and not get bored. Me and my bro watched the movie in the theatre on Day 1 and Day 2. How 'bout that? :) Here is a dialogue snippet from the script:

UNCLE

You always question everything,don't you?

BILLY

Yeah, well, maybe it would have done you some good to have a

question from time to time. "Am I an asshole?" "Are my kids a mess?"

"Is my wife a money-grubbing whore?" Those are questions.

(the UNCLE starts to leave)

"Have I been good to my dying sister or am I just pretending to be?"

(he's stung THE UNCLE)

Too late now, right?

Expiry Date.

I was wondering if relationships too came with an Expiry Date. If the answer is 'No', well, then that's the end of discussion. But if the answer is 'Yes', then we do have these two possibilities here :

1. Are they like the Expiry Dates on those medicine bottles, where even if its past the date you can still use the medicine, but the result might not be really soothing.
2. Or are they like those softwares which you can download from the net for free, those '30-day free trials'. Once the 30 day period is over, you will not be able to use the stuff.

I am not really of any help here for anyone, isn't it?

Isn't it amazing?

58th Republic Day isn't it? And what do we have here? Well let me see, O yeah, we successfully attacked some ladies in a pub and showed the world how noble and great we are. Should really be proud of the fact isn't it? And now there exists only one problem, we have two organisations vying for the credit. Well this requires serious investigation, 'coz we don't want the wrong people taking the credit for this, do we?

Shall I toss it now?

An unbiased coin is one which, if tossed, the chances of a head coming up is same as that of the tails coming up. Or in other words the probability of getting a head or a tail is equal to half. So should I toss a coin and decide now? But then how will I know if it is an unbiased coin or not. Theory says if we toss an unbiased coin a very large number of times, the number of heads should become equal to the number of tails. Well let me find an unbiased coin first, then I will toss it. Fair enough. And then all the decisions in my life will be so damn easy.

Priority?

I always used to believe, and advise those who are stupid enough to take my advice to prioritise everything first and then act upon them. But now I need to do a reality check for myself I believe. I need to rearrange my priority list and add one more line to it: Me.

P.S.: I got the idea from Vijay's blog.:)

Tagore - Mind Without Fear.

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; 

Where knowledge is free; 

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; 

Where words come out from the depth of truth; 

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; 

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; 

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. 

Where am I?

I think we all have come to this place at some point of time. Or mebbe its just the snobby me thinking the way I am is the way it is. All will be following it, if not they are in the wrong course. Whatever, I am wondering where am I? Heard this U2 song, The City of Blinding Lights? There is a line which goes like this: "What happened to the beauty I had, inside of me?" Fuck all isn't it? At some point of time you retrospect and try to backtrack and many a times you have turned many corners. Now its like going through a one way street in an unknown city and you have traversed from Point A to Point B and now you want to go back to Point A and you can't go back the way you came. You need turn round and round and round.

P.S.: Maybe I should create a tag called B.S.; 'cause thats where most of my recent blogs should be put.
