Sway

I close my eyes & wait,

To watch that sexy gait.

As you walk to me & say,

"Hold my hand & sway"

And sway I do with you,

For life, this I must do!

I fear if I didn't sway,

I'll live not another day!

Sad Day

Ahh it is a sad day today. I woke up feeling good, especially since Whiskey seemed to be in an extremely good mood. He even ran outside and played for a little while, something he never does during the daylight hours as he's really shy around other humans.

While playing with him, he happened to jump on my phone and when I picked it up to check if it was ok, I noticed a text message from my friend and ex-housemate. Her labrador "Bubbley" passed away today :-(

She will be loved and missed for sure. May the little darling's soul rest in peace.

Judgement Day - May 21st 2011 (What a laugh)

How many times have we heard about the end of the world? Year 2k was meant to be the end of the world and yet here we are, predicting another end of the world.

*Fair warning to all sinners: Repent as you will be judged next weekend!!*

People seem to have a lot of time on hand from the looks of it. And boy are they shameless. They are proven wrong and still they will give you that sheepish smile, think up some lame-ass excuse for the world still rotating like it did the day before and then go back into their tower of thought and cook up another theory, twist around a few more verses from the "Holy" Bible and announce a new date for "Armageddon"

Abortions - Is it always a bad thing?

Image via Wikipedia

As humans we are quite a judgmental lot. We like to form opinions about people, add our sense of morality to other people's decisions and lifestyles. And when we are questioned about it, we say that its all a part of us being  social animals.

Recently, a friend had to make a decision. She had to decide whether the baby she'd conceived was one she could keep. After considering where she stood at the present moment in her life, she decided that it was not right to get a baby into the world. Her decision to abort the child was however opposed by people who believe she's committing a heinous crime.

Its sad really the sorrow and grief and self-doubt that our so called "society" can put us through. I've spent quite some time counselling my friend and helping her understand that the decision to keep or not keep that child was her's and her's alone.

There are various reasons why a lady might consider abortion. Lets look at a few:

1. Teenage pregnancy 
2. Bad financial conditions
3. Single and alone and smart enough to know that she cannot provide sufficiently for the kid
4. Victim of rape
5. Not being prepared to shoulder the responsibility.

Now consider this, if a teenager carried a child full term and had the child, people will then look at her and call her a slut, but if she chose abortion she'd be called a sinner. In either case she's been judged. Likewise in any other scenario. 

We as individuals, living together in a society need to stop judging and dictating other people's life. Its just wrong on so many levels.

Movie Review: Thor - Starring Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins & Natalie Portman

Yup, this weekend was movie weekend. I worked hard in the kitchen (got a few cuts while working with the knife to prove it) and I watched movies. Well 2 movies. "Limitless" that I wrote about yesterday and "Thor", is what I watched today.

Did I like the movie: Hell yeah!!!! Like I said earlier on in some post or the other, I love anything thats not real!! Movies based on Marvel Comics.....even better. I loved Iron Man, Iron Man 2 not so much, but I still liked it. Thor.....mmmm was great fun. The movie is well made, starts of fantastically with Thor landing on earth immediately followed up with a flashback of how he ended up being on earth powerless etc. Story moves on at a remarkably good pace. 

Movie Review: Limitless - Starring Bradley Cooper & Robert De Niro

Its my two-pence opinion, so if you haven't watched the movie and watch to keep an open mind about it etc etc, stop reading right here (like hell yeah....you never gonna be able to do that)

So after reading about this movie from a friends blog post and another friends FB update, I decided I would give it a shot. Both said the exact opposite things, so I wanted to see for myself. Anyways, got the movie and watched it. Now if you don't know anything else about me, you should know this, anything that is not real fascinates me. My mind doesn't like the mundane everyday stories of loved and lost or hardships and trials and crap of that sort. I mean yes, they might make a good watch, but life is crappy enough without movies making your heart sink with every twist in the plot.

Chef's Corner

Image by MarxFoods.com via FlickrI couldn't sleep. I said my usual good night's and even fell asleep for about 30 mins, when Whiskey my love decided it was time to jump on my tummy. So I'm awake, like wide awake. I get on my puter, as is the case, no sleep means its puter time. I login in to Second Life and cruise the clubs. Finally hung out with some friends blah blah blah....

Later I got some prawns (shrimps) and I already had some dried prawns (shrimps) laying around at home. So I decided to cook it all up. Here's there results....infact let me do one up on that. I'll give you the recipe's ;)

Book Review: A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth

So after being told time and again about how great this book is, I bought and read the book. I'll have to admit to being quite disappointed.

I found that the story dragged, certain places it almost put me to sleep. There is a certain sense of humor at some places that I enjoyed.

Osama Bin Laden Dead?!?

*facepalms* I'm so behind the news half the time.

So apparently Bin Laden was found and shot in the head in Pakistan. After the first shot, he was shot once more to ensure that he was dead. Following this, he body was flown to Afghanistan and identified by his oh-so-large family. Apparently DNA tests were done as well to ensure it was indeed Obama Bin Laden that was finally shot. Finally, after following the Muslim final rites, his body was dumped into the Arabian sea so as to avoid making his grave a shrine for terrorists (this is quite fair). 

Is our telecom companies taking us for a ride?

Image by sofianeb via FlickrTo be honest that question can be asked about our electricity board, our government itself even. But my recent hook up has been with my mobile network provider.

Until about 2 months back, Indian mobile companies were still not able to provide their customers with the option to take their number to a new network. So if you are unhappy with a network provider, go ahead and change networks, but you will end up with a whole new number, which mean you'll spend a while updating your friends and colleagues and whoever else with your new number.
