Frasier has left the building... sigh.

I bought almost all the seasons of Frasier three years back and over the past three years I've been going through them one by one. Yeah, I know... seems like a long time, but I like to watch my serials in peace, and with Frasier you definitely need quiet and peace to catch all the dialogues. I loved the show since the first time I saw it, it has got to be one of the most amazing sitcoms ever created. All the characters are lovable and extremely witty, the humour & the general pulse of the show was what set it apart from the other mediocre shows out there. Frasier had some classy creators and writers, and they imparted a certain standard to the show that remains unparalleled to this day.

I liked the way Frasier ended, it ended on a hopeful and inspiring note... but it was still sad to see all the people who've made you laugh so much bidding you good bye. I couldn't stop the tears from falling, I loved all the fun times I've had with them and, I know somehow they've changed me, subtly but surely. They've brightened the day when I needed a little more sunshine in my life, they've helped me calm my mind when a storm is raging through it... they've made my world better by the amount of laughter they've poured into it. I know it seems a bit too much, going all looney over a TV show, but because of them I will never be in need of a shrink.... ;o)

This is how Frasier bids us all goodbye from his radio station...

"It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And though we are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are—
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will;
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

I’ve been thinking about that poem a lot lately. And I think what it says is that, while it’s tempting to play it safe, the more we’re willing to risk, the more alive we are. In the end, what we regret most are the chances we never took. And I hope that explains, at least a little, this journey on which I am about to embark. I have loved every minute with my KACL family, and all of you. For eleven years you've heard me say, "I’m listening." Well, you were listening too. And for that I am eternally grateful. Goodnight, Seattle.

Goodnight guys, you were wonderful...

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....

6 pm come soooooooon!

So here I am sitting in office on a Saturday and wondering what to do…. I don’t mind sitting here though, everybody is so relaxed and nobody ever works, or maybe they do work, only it doesn’t seem like that. It’s actually quiet and peaceful; I guess everybody is pretending to work… like me. I have a huge list in my head about the things I want to do tomorrow, and going to the library tops that list. I just finished reading “Circle of Friends” by Maeve Binchy and I loved it. It’s a story about two girls who grow up together in a convent school and when its time to go to university in the big town of Dublin, they discover gradually that they can depend on each other and their convent school upbringing to see them through the trying times. It was beautifully written, and it struck so close to home. I picked up another M&B book along with this Binchy book and I am going to return it tomorrow without bothering to complete it. I read the first few pages and I wanted to find that author a...

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...
