Random Stuff...

I caught J.K.Rowling on TV talking about her seventh Harry Potter book and she was saying that two important characters are going to die. I do hope it's Harry... maybe she will kill him by making him accidently trip over his wand or by falling off his chair. That's how she killed all the other important characters anyway... Sirius Black, falls through some freaking curtains, and that's it, he's dead. That is how she killed him and I liked Sirius!!! And Dumbledore, she makes him gobble up some poison to remove the 'locket' at the end of the bowl. The locket wasn't even a horcrux!!! It was some fake dumb ornament!!! Dumbledore dies for nothing!!! She kills off all these great people, like how you would swat a fly. So hoping the next person to die is Harry, he is irritating. But knowing her, she just might kill off Ron and Hermione... that is gonna suck. Hope it doesn't happen, ginny can go, so can ron's father ... I really don't want it to be Fred or George either.

Read something interesting in my Linguistics book. Linguistic research has shown that, the speech of men and women differ. Women tend to use the more proper form of the language, the standard form. Women also tend to ask more questions and they find it easier to muster the ability to identify with other people's feelings which gives their speech an emphatic quality. Men, on the other hand, interrupt more, dispute what has been said, introduce new topics and make more declarations of facts or opinions. Now isn't that something...

Caught just two matches of the World Cup, what with the exams and stuff. In the semi finals between France and Portugal, Zidane and Figo exchanged their sweat soaked jerseys and Zidane even put Figo's jersey on. The gesture was beautiful in a yucky way... exchange of sweat and dirt. The finals, between France and Italy, now that was something! I was like "What did he (zidane) just do!!!" Zidane walked away, then Materrazi said something, and he snapped, turned and charged straight into Materrazi! In a sense can't blame Zidane for losing his cool, it was his family he was defending, nothing else mattered at that moment, t'was a typical guy thing to do, using physical force. Materrazi too was being a typical guy doing what all guys do best, resorting to profanity under stress. If only Zidane had kept his cool and dealt with him after the match ... It was sad to see Zidane being sent out, what was still worse is he did not even come out to receive the medals!

Nice Ad....

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

I hope the world doesn't end in 2012, I have a whole lot of books to read...

I heard bout Flipkart.com from Anju and that site has changed my life. All the books that I have been searching for since centuries, are now sitting prettily on my book shelf. Landmark is a thing of the past now... in fact Landmark is not what it used to be anymore, they do not seem to have stock on most of the good books. So I am deliriously thankful to the creators of flipkart, I seriously love you guys... continue with your fabulous work. Talking of books, here are a few people who have enriched my life with their recommendations of the written word... My brother Manoj for buying the ' The Partner ' by John Grisham . Now I hadn't heard of Grisham before so the book was just lying there at home. One day I got bored and picked it up, that was the start of my love affair with Grisham and legal thrillers in general. This was the first John Grisham book I read and it was in a word mindblowing. I couldn't set the book down, my heart was racing away with Patrick Laniga...

My school teachers...

So I got to thinking bout my school days recently and it saddened me that I was starting to forget a few teachers who had shaped my life, I have already forgotten nearly half the classmates... though its not my fault. Some people just don't want to join facebook, then how can you find them in this big world. Even if I do find them, there is not much to talk beyond the 'where are you & what are you doing' phrases. But the teachers are another matter, they deserve to be remembered for moulding us. I gotta hand it to the convent school I studied in, they really knew how to select their educators... all the teachers I had shared a genuine passion for teaching and above that they had strong moral values and faith which invariably shaped our lives. To them being a good person was what mattered the most and they made sure we grasped this knowledge, it also helped that I had staunch catholic parents who cemented this view. Anyway, I just wanted to jot down stuff bout my teacher...
