I'm ecstatic

Just plain ecstatic. For no specific reason, though. Hmm, guess I got up at the right side of my bed today. Though I didn’t have all that a great sleep with all those gigantic slices of pizzas trotting about in my interiors. Well, not just pizzas, there are a lot of thoughts streaming about within me too

Sometimes I wonder why I think so much before doing something. Think about something, bury myself in it, cudgel my brain and when I finally wish to put the thought to action it would be too late. And then I end up thinking why I’ve thought so much when I could have actually done something about it. This very attribute of mine have landed me in deep shit many a times. And now it makes me feel that the less you ponder over something, the better. Sometimes we just have to go by our instincts. If you think, you keep thinking for the rest of your lives.

Talking about thinking brings back to my mind this joke I had read in Tinkle when I was in third grade. It’s a conversation between Anwar and his dad. Um, I think it was Anwar. Anyway, let’s call him Anwar, whatsoever.

Dad: How was the exam, Anwar?
Anwar: It was okay Dad. But I didn’t know one answer
Dad: Which one?
Anwar: I didn’t know the past tense of ‘think’. I thought and thought and in the end I wrote ‘thunk’.

*grin*

I used to crack this one to almost everyone I had acquainted during that period.

The other day we went to Oasis Center. It was my first time there, ever since the mall got rebuilt recently after it got burnt way back in 2004. It’s a lot huger now and many more brands have opened their outlets there. Well being the shopping freaks we are, mom and I didn’t spare a single one. I’m sort of into sports attires nowadays. I got myself a sports frock and a sports skirt, like the one these tennis players wear. Oh and there was this totally fab black knee length skirt, which I was so in love with, so I ended up taking that as well. And many more Tees until the basket was overflowing. And so the shopping spree went on…

Yesterday we went to watch NY. I felt it was pretty good. Well, I’ve heard people saying it’s a lot similar to the movie Khuda Ke Liye. I’ve not seen that one, but then movies made with a common theme are bound to seem alike and they might convey the same message but the tone of rendering the message is entirely different. This was a very realistic movie. I think movies, particularly Indian movies lack originality nowadays. It’s funny how illogical movies like Welcome and Singh is Kinng manage to become runaway hits, while many other meaningful movies don’t get their due recognition.

Hey, and I forgot to tell you guys. Dad bought me an ipod touch yesterday and woohoo, it so rocks. It totally resembles an iphone. Both look wise and feature wise. The only difference is that the ipod doesn’t serve the basic purpose of a phone, which is yes, voice communication. Otherwise, I think it’s more or less the same. This is my 3rd ipod actually. The first one was a Nano, which I had given my cousin just about three months after its purchase, and the second one was a 30GB classic one whose music files got corrupted. I reformatted the ipod. But it still seemed to have issues with me. It kept freezing every now and then, especially while playing the movies and then one fine day, it refused to even start up. I tried restarting and doing everything possible with it, but nothing worked. And finally when we gave it at Apple, they were like, the warranty period is over and they couldn’t so anything about it. Great. So I walked ipod-less for about 4 months and now finally my baby’s back in my arms. And the touch is incredible. It’s the perfect type for watching the movies, coz the screen’s pretty wide yeah?

Well, so life in Dubai is moving on marvelously. I’m making the most of my time here, coz I know once second year starts there’s no looking back. I seriously want to do something this year. As in, academically. Yeah, I know I say that at the start of every year. But I just hope I don’t make a mess of my second year as much as I had of my first. Okay, we’ll keep that topic on pending. Let’s not talk about it now. But just sit back and savor on the long day stretching out ahead of us. Meanwhile, lemme go ahead and hit the publish button and get this post done with, coz I guess I’ve spent quite a while in the den. So, Ciao peeps!
