9.39 am Monday

Today is going to be a long day. Totally preventing myself from physically running off home.

Had a crazy weekend. Met the girls on Friday for dinner at Masalacraft. Then went to watch 'Prince of Persia' - load of rubbish. 300 bucks down the gutter.

Saturday evening went shopping and bought a ridiculously expensive red bag. Rest of the evening at TGIF with one of the coolest people I know.

Sunday afternoon went to meet pal. After 2 sky whis me and his roomates were soaring. Pal was fine.

Slept at 4am. Trying to keep myself awake today. Have come to this dreary place. Im taking a break from local ho for a month at least. Damn hungry but stomach's a mess. Total weekend damage 7k.

Can't get this song outta my head - "Move if you wanna if you wanna if you wanna .. Move move if you wanna if you wanna if you wanna". Need to go dancing soon.

Monday agony here I come.

amadeus

Few things make me want to blog in the middle of my do-nothing-at-all weekends. This one is definitely worth it. Whats surprising is that its not about travel. Anyway here goes..

Last night I saw one of the best movies ever made - Amadeus(1984). I was expecting some kind of serious docu-drama about Mozart, his work, life etc. This was so much more fun!

It is narrated in flashback by Antonio Salieri. The movie potrays Mozart as a genius, a spoiled prodigy, a buffoon and by the end of the movie you cant help but love him. Its about competition, about love, about music, about passion, about malice, about life and all this with a sprinkling of humour. The best 3 hours of my weekend. You need to watch this movie even if you aren't a fan of classical western music. This goes far beyond that. Don't take my word for it, the movie won 8 Oscars in its day including Best Picture.

In the end, there is a very obvious event that occurs and you feel your heart aching a little but you leave feeling happy that there was a Mozart and there will always be the Marriage of Figaro.

weekend diary

Weekend well spent even though my favourite pal was not around.

Met some friends over dinner. Managed to catch Iron Man 2 on Friday. Refreshing to see Hollywood hasn't lost its corny touch. Robert Downey Jr looked botoxed, Gwyneth looked old, Johanson looked amazing (yep I'll admit in a totally un-bi-ased way that she looked hot). Mickey Rourke was the best part as the somewhat taciturn villain and Sam Rockwell was good as always. The movie was expectedly crap. So in a way it lived up to its expectations.

Saturday night had some awesome Adai Dosa at Matunga. Got back to find wifi finally installed at home. What joy! Now I can sit on my bed, surf and watch tellie all at once! So thats precisely what I did for the rest of weekend.

Need to buy a new cell phone for the same reason everyone else does - boredom. The quest for selection of a new phone keeps me occupied for 2 hours every weekend. So until I find something else to do in those 2 hours I shall continue humoring myself.

Good bye. Have an agonising Monday.
