Movie Marathon! I love it!

It's like there has been some adjustment to the machinery in me- I'm stuck to my laptop like never before. I have been cramming in on any movie I could think of on my HP G62 (most derided laptops of all), thanks to IMDB, the extratorrent site and windows media player. Just in a matter of 3 days, I have downloaded and watched six of the latest flicks and streamed some online as well. Nine down and still counting. My gray cells have been overloaded with information and I might be well rustling up some plot without even me realising.. Gosh! wish I were such a genious.

To read out in order:

1) Fast and the Furious 5
2) Insidious
3) The Source Code
4) Dhobi Ghat
5) The Lincoln Lawyer
6) Limitless
7) Shor in the City
8) The Adjustment Bureau
9) Another movie which I cannot even name (lol ;))

and the tenth one is 'Thor' which I'm yet to lay my eyes on. It's quite a feat achieved for a person who in the recent 6 months has barely watched 8 movies. All of this along with 8 hours of office, take off the sleeping and eating time. This demonstrates that I still have it in me :) All in all it has been quite entertaining!

To uncover the truth, this is the best I could do to subdue my agony of a bad appraisal at work and make my life worth living. Need some tips too???

The Beltane Fire Festival '11 and I

Celebrating the age old pagan Beltane festival replete with fire and lashings of body paint, Calton hills in the Scottish capital Edinburgh, cutlassed the winter shiver to welcome the warmth of summers ! It was one of the most spectacular events that I have witnessed in this sleepy little city (not that sleepy as one gets to know it ;))

Benefitting from my short height, I did happen to make it in the front row and could catch the frolic from close quarters. Got to catch a glimpse of the very majestic May Queen and the men painted in red, it was a totally outlandish feeling! I also joined the semi clad men and women dancing around the bonfire swaying to their transcendental chants.
As an Indian we have a plethora of festivals, some of which are a wee bizarre, but great fun! We gleefully douse each other in coloured water and get painted to incognizance! We also have the festival of lights where we burn crackers, the sky is adorned with colourful fireworks and the aura gets pleasantly deafening.Yes I'm talking about Holi and Deepawali. This Fire Festival to me was a handshake of the two Indian festivals -people with painted bodies worshipping fire :) I was completely at ease!

Have fun watching the snaps sneaking out of my camera lenses :)
