There will be blood...

A movie that we decided to see on a Tuesday evening. After a lot of argument & looking up a website called rottentomatoes.com (my husband's favourite movie rating site) we decided to see "there will be blood"

The promos were exciting and the tomato meter rated it 91%. Good huh!!!

STORY

It is about this guy who dug up oil wells... he got greedy after a while and the greed got the better of him & he started losing himself. By the end of it he has a big mansion and loads of money but has lost everything else... his son leaves him!

The movie started out well and was gripping for the first half but after that it just went on & on for no reason... a movie that should have ideally been over in 1 and half hours took 2 and half hours... (ONE EXTRA HOUR!)

In the end a priest also dies I am not sure why... I think its a good nominee for Oscar as you don't really understand the end... as one of my friend says 'the Hollywood ending!'

My suggestion... don't see it at least not on big screen... see it on a DVD when you can fast forward the slower parts. It becomes a documentary after a while and it stretched way too much!

Budday!!!!!!!!!!

"Hum bhi agar bachche hote,
Naam hamara hota babloo dabloo
Aur khane ko milta ladoo
Aur duniya kehti HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!"

Familiar lines???

what has changed from then to now... i'll tell you... we dont have time to organise a party & tab toh parents karte the... and most people are diet conscious... ladoo kaise kha sakte hai????

Hai na???

Anyway... I had few people telling me that everyday should be celebration & you shouldn't restrict it to one day or few days... and some people are of the opinion that birthdays are a day to be sad as you are growing older!

I need to ask these people something... You can be upset with you ageing if you had a bad health or people around are making your life hell... then you might be like why am I even here. But with good health, family & friends, job / business (covering health, wealth & happiness) I don't really get the reason to get upset.

Besides, you are aware that you are growing old everyday... its an universal truth! Well, unless you get a magic youth portion! Hence after knowing the universal truth & having a good life why shouldn't you celebrate!

For the people who talk about celebrating everyday... people... if you celebrate everyday then celebration becomes normal & normal becomes boring! You can't possibly celebrate everyday... I even asked my husband if he will get me a gift everyday & he said no... so if you have some celebration once in a while you get gifts ya... & not out of the blue on a specific date so that people know when to get you the gifts (lol!)

Jokes apart, we appreciate happiness & comfort when we've been through a patch of sadness & discomfort. Isn't it?

And therefore, ban jaao ek din babloo dabloo aur khaalo thode se ladoo... aur zore se bolo "Jai Mata Di!"

hehehhehe!!!

Jab We Met!

Sydney, Australia

It is said that every stranger is a friend you havent met!

We recently met a set of people who gave us a helping hand to pull us out of a pit...

My husband & I have found a new hobby... House Hunting... we are planning to get a house & every weekend we set out to find a house of our choice... Like always we set out for our hobby on a rainy saturday... since it was raining we couldnt make it to the open house time so we requested the agent to show us the place again. He agreed to our request & said he would be there in about 20 mins...

While we waited for him inside the car the rain god decided to empty his bucket all at one time... we were quite comfortable inside the car with the a/c & radio on & the hazard lights on for others to spot our car in the rain. Suddenly the radio stopped playing & we did not know what was happening. My huband tried starting the car & it wouldnt start... there began the panic attack... we were almost 25 kms aways from where we currently stay & we hardly know anyone in around...

For some reason I found the situation very funny... or probably it was just my way of letting out my fears... but I kept laughing for a while... then we called our relative & told them what happened... the 1st question put forth by them was if our headlights were on & they hit the target... it was on... they said that out battery would have drained & we should try & find a jumper lead to start out battery again... we also do not have a the NRMA (insurance) which would have helped... but aww well... who anticipated this would happen!

By this time the agent arrived... we saw the house with the worry that we might not reach home & asked the agent if he could help... unfortunately he did not have the equipment we needed but he let us use the house compound as a shelter from the rain for a while...

Suddenly, my husband noticed few people in the opposite block & they looked like Indians. He suggested that I should try making conversation with the lady outside... I waved out to her & she came out with an umbrella... The situation was explained & she called out her husband to help out.

While the men took care of the car, I was invited into their house... We got talking & she narrated het 10 year expeirnce living in that area... from what she said I guessed she loves the place... the station is close, school & shopping village is close by and a good & quiet locality (impressive!)

During our conversations I got to know that they are from Pakistan. It was very heart-warming to see her hospitality. They invited us for a cup of tea but we were almost out of fuel & we really wanted to go home so we requested to leave... When we were back in our car my huband was all praises about the husband who helped with the car... when I told him that they were from Pakistan he was pleasently surprised!

(BTW as soon as the car was fixed the rain stopped... Murphy's Law!!!)

When such instances happen you really wonder if the Indo - Pak story that is in the open is more a brain-child of the so called leaders.

Anyway... this is my Indo-Pak story...
