Movies, Books and More............


MOVIES

Of late I have been watching a lot of old classics.......although am not sure where and how I managed to pick up this habit. Someone I know personally, told me that I might be on the brink of falling in love which is why I am watching so many Audrey Hepburn movies. But somehow my perception is that, these movies are one in a million and completely original...I guess that's why they are termed as classics or timeless ones! And Hepburn movies are not the only ones i have seen. I have watched Casablanca, Come September, Hattari, Lawrence of Arabia, Mckinsey's gold to name a few. Mostly the movies i have been watching recently are all light in nature...... a far cry from what I usually see.

A good Hindi movie which i really liked in recent times would be Wake up Sid! The story line was kind of predictable but somehow i found it really sweet .This movie also happened to be my first one in Adlabs Sector 5.

BOOKS

The last book i read was 2 States by Chetan Bhagat. Although the book was not as good as the first one but certainly a lot better than the last 2 he had published. This book seemed to be a continuation of 5.someone in quite a few places.....but nonetheless a good one.......Though rumour has it that it might be his own personal story!


More...
Other things which has kept me busy during the last few weeks would be cooking. Recently tried out a Paneer preparation.In order to cook it, you have to both stir fry it in the frying pan and then have to bake it. Quite a good and easy recipe and it has helped me a lot as most of my friends are veggetarian and some of them don't even have onions on top of that!

Also did a dance show recently after a really long time. The show happened by chance but the practise sessions behind it really killed me. This sort of made me aware that how important it is to be fit.........usually i run away from any sort of exercise but since it was dance, it was fun doing it.

I have also become quite adept in managing the kitchen, even if I say so myself!
