vaguely wasted

i am glad i changed off the name. tripping away was not right
just too pink floyd and all
but that is ok just did not feel it should be the name
today is valentine's day and sudipto said all the men in office cut cake
how sad can that be -- all men cutting cake and celebrating valentines day
wonder which st valentine we are celebrating
and i am sure there must be some gruesome way in which he died if he was martyred
that is how it always is
look at st sebastian
what a horrid way to go
tied to a tree and then stoned or did people shoot arrows and all
watched a bit of munich but then could not keep awake
daniel craig has these different wierd personas
some kind of grungy, dirty blond kind of look
then there was something about kurt kobain and courtney love's daughter
wasn't there something about nirvana in about a boy
i thought hugh grant was too good in the movie
almost as if the book was written with grant in mind
i have to meet kg george who can only remind me of the many movies we saw in training command theatre
that is manoranjan
where we went after so many years in jan to see that movie with mammooty and srinivasan
quite nice it was
at least different from the slick, shallow new movies that are coming out now
i liked sarnath's comment about bengalis in delhi being narrow minded and shallow which makes them nallow!
how nice is that
oh next week is mother tongue day
so have to ask neeti to come up with something
then we did a round of interviews
recruit mela and all
the ones that are half way good want some gazillion monies
i really wonder what people can do with money
more money
got offer to bring out time out bangalore which sounds very sad
not time out
but that is hardly what i want to do
what a bore
i want an offer that would blow my little mind
give me a chance to move from the city and everything it entails
even city express sounds scary
i want out
not more and more inside things
that is like a horrid trap
book three of ramayana is over and then also anjum hassan's lunatic in my head
which is all floyd and shillong and analog time of cassettes and rock music journal
i guess the moment you call something a journal it immediately garners respectablity
it is a year since anna nicole smith died
these people all sound like so many simones
created by the media out of so many pixels
that movie had the capactiy to go to strange surreal places
just did not go

its lent and valentine's day

ha ha ha
what a joke only that is
everyone cribbing about our morals going for a toss thanks to western invasion and what not
so why not some abstinence and prayer to keep lent
why not only?
oh i loved streetcar named desire
brando totally rocks
and how important is writing
really really
and what a difference those little little cuts made right?
sholay again one more time
what frames
how could the train and the lovers be in the same frame
and the water tank and amitabh?
there was the long train journey to chandigarh via dilli and hyd and strange surreal moments in the winter sun
but now i guess i need to go back to pages and editing stupid copy
