Contemplations and Ruminations

There was a Hugo and a Rosie... but no Fred. Oh well, it's over... that is more than enough. So finally the Harry Potter series has come to an end. And I did read all the books... but somehwere between the third and the fourth book, all the success went to her (Rowling's) head and she started churning out lousy sequels. I mean the first book was really nice, stuck to important stuff... and did not ramble on unnecessarily. I liked the third book the best, cause of Sirius... I thought he was the most amazing character, he was portrayed as this handsome reckless and brave guy, rugged looking but great looking, kinda like Aragon in the movie, "Lord of the rings" or Oded Fehr in "The Mummy Series". So it was only natural that I stopped watching the Harry potter movies, after I saw who they had cast to play the role of Sirius Black, some demented looking guy. Just look at the pictures!!! Anyway, this last book was just too much... there was too much of everyt...

Well, finally done with the exams... its been a few fun weeks with Jacques Derrida, Edmund Husserl, Wordsworth, Mathew Arnold, and the rest of the guys.  Came to know about  phonemes, allophones, consonant clusters and what not. Anyway, went to school the past fewdays to hangout with the kids... and when I am there, there's no where else I'd rather be.                                                                            Other than spending time in school, been spending some time in the kitchen too, tryin out a few dishes. Made Stuffed Roast Chicken ...

Here are a few pictures taken in school, when the guys and me dropped by one fine beautiful monday.   I showed them the school chapel, and this is what they did there... At a roadside 'cafe', where we stopped on the way back to drink sarbath.

Too busy with exams to contemplate anythin else.... Just enjoy the few videos below.... Manoj was playing this song, and I was wondering who had this kind of deep, amazing voice... Saw this video on Nameeta's orkut page... she's good, Danielle I mean and not nam. Nice chorus: 'Cause when push comes to shove You taste what you are made of You might bend 'til you break 'Cause it's all you can take On your knees you look up Decide you've had enough You get mad, you get strong Wipe you hands, shake it off Then you stand, then you stand Especially like Taylor's hair in the video... and her long flowing dress too...
