Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives. ~William Dement
Rule 1: I was dog tired and got home to be greeted by my sleepy mom. She had fallen asleep watching the TV soaps ,psst re-runs. After eating dinner at midnight , I started reading The Dangerous Edge, before falling asleep to Himmi’s music in the background.
At around 3am, I had this weird feeling that some one or some thing ( it’s so demeaning to call animals a ” thing”) was walking over my chest . It was a black cat with weird yellow eyes and one of its paws was on my heart and I froze. It turned and looked at me, I could neither scream nor breathe. My hands did not respond to the brain waves which were passing through the nerves. It just took a stroll over my body.
That’s when I bolted and turned off the Radio.
Rule 2: ( censored)take a break go sip some water and wink at your colleague go go.
Rule 3. I got up early, was ready in a jiffy and honked at the security guard to open the gate. He didn’t even flinch, I had to park my bike and open the gates. He really acted surprised, as if he had never seen a tenant open the gates of the apartment. Grrrr. For once the traffic was thin and I managed to reach my bus-stop on time. I parked my bike at the usual stop and ran off to get some Melody chockis..and surprise surprise the bus was on time and I had to run to catch it.Uff that was close. I was in my favourite seat and for the next few stops, people looked at me and gave a sigh. I was worried was it the tulsi beads ? I tried hiding it. I was the last to get down from the bus and I waved bye to my driver who just looked blankly in my direction. WHAT WAS HAPPENING ? I swiped my access card and GRRR it was not responding !! I had to wait for a few minutes until the Ladies swiped their cards and I mingled with them. Somehow my cubicle had changed, the Ganesha idol was missing and so were my favorite mementos and that cute card.Grrr who has been stealing stuff ? I took my water bottle and went to the cafeteria to fill it up, I was worried that my colleagues were playing a trick on me. I was busy filling up the bottle when I realized that the aunties where talking about me, in my presence ?? I turned my back to them and wanted to get out of the room, when something made me stop. Aunty 1 : It should not have happened he was so young .Aunty 2: "It seems that after the accident when they took him to the hospital, he had a smile on his face". That’s when it hit me, no wonder when I tried to comb my hair, I couldn’t see myself in the mirror .No wonder the dogs were howling.No wonder.

Tumko paya hai to jaise khoya hoon Kehna chahoon bhi to tumse kya kahon?
I had the rare opportunity of watching a film on the first day and first show ;) lallalaaaaaaala alalla Ofcourse it was NOT sawwarrrrrrrrrrrrriya but Ommi Shaanthi and Ohm.The film was supposed to start at 6pm but got delayed by 20 minutes, no-one seemed to mind.We bought tickets in black for Rs 150 and it was for the first class ;) also known as Gandhi Class.The first half is alright with sum great dialogues and 3 of the best songs in the film. The second half is all masti and some great effects and Oh !!some action in the theatre too. Some loos dude had this great idea of bursting a Cracker inside the Theatre...yappppa and they caught him and gave him nice paatttaaaaaars.The film has a song in which there are 30 so called stars of Bollywood attending a naach gaana party thrown by the hero Shahrukh Khan. People were shouting and whistling for every "star" and I thought Kajol got the highest ear splattering hoots until Salman and Munna Bhai made an appearance. People were standing and applauding..Loos Loos and pssst they even hooted for "Jeetu and his son" Yappppppppppppa.
Well i did hoot at Aish aunty..it was a trailor from the yet to be released film Jodha Akbar. 6 fingered Hrithik looks good in this film but WOWWWW you should check Aish aunty's gold mine...woowwwwww.
But i guess i was deaf for 30 seconds when Deepika made a second appearance when she says " I have come from Bangalore for the audition." The audience just went mad when they heard the magic word Bangalore.."uff"
There are a couple of loos scenes in the film for which ppl were rolling on the floor and all i did was raise my eyebrows..eh? eh ?The songs are very good and might stay on the top of the charts for sometime. I loved this song..
Chhan se jo toote koi sapna When a dream shatters in a flash Jag soona soona laage, jag soona soona laage The world seems an empty place Koi rahe na jab apna When there's no loved one left Jag soona soona laage, jag soona soona hai toh The world seems an empty place Yeh kyun hota hai Why does this happen? Jab yeh dil rota hai When the heart weeps Roye sisak sisak ke hawein, jag soona laage The winds sob along, the world feels empty Chan se jo toote koi sapna Jag soona soona laage, jag soona soona laage Koi rahe na jab apna Jag soona soona laage, jag soona soona laage re Soona laage re
Overall ...ummm....if you liked King Kong ( the new version) you'll love OMS and oh by the way the best scene of the film is when Deepika has tears in her eyes and yet manages to smile.......haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Gotchaaa
Chintoo: Where is pinky ? I should show her my new pink floaters and and my new pink Picaaachooo shoesssssssssss.
He ceased; but still their trembling ears retained the deep vibrations of his witching song.
I'm a huge fan of Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and some of his songs are
Mann ki Lagan
Jiya Dhadhak Dhadhak Jaye
Main Jahaan Rahoon
Naina from Omkara
Jag Soona Soona Laage from Om Shanthi Om
I like his voice, its got a kind of honesty intermingled with Qawwali and a haunting background music. Off to download all his song..lalaaaaaaaaaalaaaaaaaaaaaa
