In the passing

I was talking to a friend and he pointed out that I have not been writing much on my blog these days. "Is this a blogger's block?" I nodded along as if I really knew why I was not writing more often. I had taken to writing a blog when I was going through a rough patch and just wanted to vent it out in the form of my gibberish. Some of my friends appreciated it and I began enjoying the experience of typing out my thoughts from time to time.

The problems have not left me like they never leave anybody else and all I do is run as fast as I can to evade all the battles in my mind. In the last few weeks I have gone back home only when I need to sleep and all through the day and late at night I have either been at work or with friends. Strangely, time just flies and every night before I sleep I say to myself,"This day too has passed."

I have seen many movies and am back to reading again. Completed High Fidelity on a friend's recommendation and how glad I am to have done so. It is a simple story that has scripted many a bollywood and hollywood movies. Does the book lose its lustre? No. It still is better than all the movies. Infact the movie based on the book with John Cussak is also a great watch though I prefer the book. I told another friend about the book and he asked me what it was about. Well, this is about a guy who just had a break up and he wasn't so sure he would like to read it. Reason, I can't relate to it since I am married. I thought to myself, you are still a man aren't you?

The book I am currently reading is Fight Club. And the 50 pages have left me a bit numb. It is a very matter of fact kind of book but has an undercurrent of depression and sadness. I like the book so far and am beginning to get into its spell. For the ones who have seen the Brad Pitt starer, I have not seen the movie either so the experience is completely new. I am enjoying it thoroughly and hopefuly will be able to complete the book shortly.

Saw Ratatoulie. I was expecting the movie to be a wee bit funnier but it is still a good movie. So, if oyu have plans to wantch it just go ahead and book the tickets.

Tired of writing so signing off.

The first rule of Fight club is you don't talk about Fight Club:

You were told categorically not to mention Fight Club to anyone (that means online as well) now if someone ruins your ending don't let me say 'I told you so'
