Dr. Watson from Sherlock's point of view

I just completed the Second Volume of "Sherlock Homes". In the story "The Blanched Soldier", he describes Dr. Watson in a perfect way - A confederate who foresees your conclusions and course of action is always dangerous, but one to whom each development comes as a perpetual surprise, and to whom the future is always a closed book, is indeed an ideal helpmate.

Line to Remember

Few lines by my friends which will never be forgotten from our memories - सुनील - माझी इच्छा आहे रे यायची पण जमतच नाही. आदित्य - I am nothing without them / माझ्यासाठी तुम्ही कधीच adjust करत नाहीत. विराज - (He talks about a girl, usually negative and then) ती तशी बोलायला चांगली आहे. विक्रम - आणि असा म्हटल्यावर आम्ही सगळे हसलो... रीशिकेश - अरे आपण काय professional आहोत का? And now thanks to my dear friends Viraj and Aditya, a line will be added to my name too.. सिद्धेश - मी विचारला नाही रे तुला. मला वाटलं की तू नाही म्हणशील.

Alaipayuthey

I had not heard of this movie earlier. Sathiya had the same music track as Alaipayuthey . This is the "Chup Ke Se" equivalent of the original.

Whoa!!!

Boman Irani's son's wedding took place yesterday. Why do I blog about it? Here is my "log" of yesterday night. I was going for my regular walk after dinner, I was surprised to see a Mercedes near our building's gate. (WTH! They have lights to their side mirrors?) Next I saw a BMW (I love the BMWs more than any other cars), Then I saw two guys standing outside the car in black suits. One of them was familiar. (He looks familiar... This is the guy who appears on MTV or Channel V... Some Cyrus) Oh yea its Cyrus Sahukar! But what was he doing there? Oh yea, there was some Parsi wedding going on at that completely weird place which surrounded by trees all around. I never thought somebody would host a wedding at such place. As kids we used to call it Bhoot Bangla considering the fact that I never saw anyone going in or coming out of the place and there used to be hardly any light there. As we went ahead to the main road, I saw a line of cars parked. There were BMWs, A

LOTR Magic

I still can not believe that I had not watched this great trilogy until last week. Well, yes, I had seen it  in bits in pieces but never in a way to make head or tail of what was happening. And you cannot if you don't watch the series from beginning. This is because there are many characters introduced in the movie in each parts of the movie. I never understood the story, the characters. So when I started watching the trilogy from Tuesday, I was really amazed. Of course, not having subtitles does create some problems, but that was nothing when I think of the way the whole plot was executed. The special effects were superb. I really couldn't think anything bad with any of the movie except that all were long and I couldn't watch them in one sitting. In case, you have also missed these great movies, get hold of a LOTR DVD or torrent, watch them. It's worth it!

Article

Just came across this article - http://www.bspcn.com/2011/11/17/4-myths-about-doing-what-you-love-for-work/ One point which I certainly agree about the article is the Maslow's Need Hierarchy plays a role in passion. I did realize this when Steve Jobs' famous speech was being shared across internet. Well, following one's passion can be extremely difficult proposition for people whose income is barely able to take care of family's basic needs. As the income level grows, one has the liberty of going out of "regular" ways, to try and follow his passion. Of course, all this is easier said than done!

WTF!

Which one of this is true? Is it that dollar price increases whenever I desire to buy iPod Touch from US or is it that I desire to buy iPod Touch when the dollar price increases? Whatever it is, I again have to wait :(
