Holiday !

I was in LA

on a holiday

amidst a welcoming company

time quite just slipped away.

reliving the good ole history

the years gone bye seem only yesterday...

a tryst with the city

without much of a mystery

a walk around Hollywood

and the day was all good...

gazing at the stars on the ground

and up in the sky- at the observatory

basking in sunshine on the beach

made me realize with a stride each

how much missed the openness was

that was until just over a year

so commonplace

the plush streets at Beverly

mouth watering clearly

PCH at its scenic beauty

downtown la for its staggering majesty

theres a word of caution

of oppression in the street

each one on the guard

keeping friendly greetings at bay...

quite foreign for a small towner each day

soaking in the year-end

amongst a sea of revelers

Universal merriment

laughter and screams

after what seems like ages

and to top it all

'home' made delicacies

and jolly company

concluded my tryst

with the city of angels?

StarShucks !

As i just sit by

using the free Wi-Fi

i happen to stumble

on a random rumble ( :P)

Starbucks

is bringing a high to billion lucks

The aroma of dark brewed beans

surely a connoisseur knows what this means

a whiff of chocolate in the air

here there every where

as coffee's largest chain

cozy and comfy thro hail, snow and rain

a nook in every US city

its a pity

i dont get royalty

for such publicity

but whom am i to complain?

it let me survive on exquisite coffee

and free net in bargain !

Saw 'tomorrow' for a tuesday, on a tuesday !!

In the midst of 'a' Extremly hectic and 'rushy' week i went to see "A Wednesday", and i am very happy that i did. (Im marvelling at how all my posts come when i watch somethin...)

Though its almost a month since the release of this film, it still has around 2-3 shows daily at many screens here. And this speaks volumes about the succes and/or the connect the story has with the Mumbaikars, especially considering the days of the "global crisis" and the "finiancial meltdown", "burning huge holes in the pockes of" not only the national treasuries but also the 'stupid common man' (Oh! what 'cliched jargon'......oh gosh another cliche......OHNO whats

happening?) ..................listening to and reading such news every day; these words have become "embedded" (OOPS another cliche for Electronics Engineers !!) in our day to day phrases, and flow out almost instantaneously; subconsiously. 

Loosing track of what i initially started out with, i once more return to a wednesday. With strong performances by 1 and all (yes... even the news reporter, reminded me some what of the Grand Stand host... :P), the marvelous twist in the tail, this provides a very practical, a bit radical, approach to crush terrorism. The stupid common man, taking time out of his daily routines, has suggested stopping terrorism arising from attempts rescuing former terrorists by "thoko"fying them once caught....... not at all a new solution, but yes A wednesday made it compelling.....

My bro...(yes he was with me again !) said that THIS film should have been named 'HELLO' and not some other one, simply because the entire plot revolves around a telephone conversation....

Hmmm.......different people different ideas........different here even goes to the extent that there might be people taking inspiration from the 'phoney connections' plan  to try and hack the telecom networks......

(im now remembring my pct topic of movies as a "2-WAY mirror of society")...................

.................................and if i continue any further ill be entangling so many social issues in a single post itself that......................................................................

.........ill be violating a very famous B-concept : K.I.S.S. (Keep It Short, Stupid!!)...........AAH.....

this is like the famous G.M. (Green Machine) concept in the famous  M.S.D. class in college.......

BYE !!!
