Hari Kumbhaara.....

A: How is it going on with Hari Kumbhaara?



Me: Hallelujah .... finished it in the wee hours of morning ! It is good compared to the previous one. Sakkath witty stuff... !



It was an experience of a kind - going at around half-past-ten to find a long queue snaking through the road and then more around the corner, waiting till mid-night, moving quickly with the crowd (except for the chill in the air.....brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....., the queue did not matter much), wading through the shop decked up with promotional frills and fancies..... and finally the much awaited moment arrived - Hari Kumbhaara was esconed safely in my hands.



Still at a fog? ;-)


Hmmmmm.....these should help .... :-)!


..................................Serpentine queue......


.................................The magical orb :-)


..................................Check this out....


If not anything, this should be a dead-giveaway as to what I am alluding to... :-)

(After)Effects

Disclaimer: The authoress does not claim any responsibility of the effects of these effects which have been compiled by her. So, the warning’s pretty clear – read it at your own risk.

Boomerang Effect:
Origin: From the vagaries of life
Simply explained – as you sow, so you reap. Just make sure that you do not do anything disrespectful or shameful in the process because there’s simply no guarantee that you would not be on the receiving end yourself.


Chipku Effect:
Origin: Window-watching from bus
When I observe the absolute lack of space between couples (read a guy and a lady) traveling on a two-wheeler (so far). How the guy concentrates on his driving can be the answer to anyone’s imagination..... ;) !


Cinderella Effect:
Origin: Whenever CM’s mobile goes gung-ho after an hour
One of the few people who has been graced with my ‘intellectual’ talk! And after yugjactly an hour’s one-sided conversation (you see, I will be the one who will be talking as if there’s no tomorrow; CM, for all I know, could be comfy and snoozing on a pillow), dinchaak- line -disconnection. CM had some vague explanation about mobile’s timer and stuff. But then, I cannot really explain the Cinderella Effect with respect to my mobile as well when I was bugging Gadha. Weird na??


Butterfly Effect:
Origin: When I spent around an hour on a bench along a shady tree-lined path full of butterflies
When one is badly in need of an idea/solution, the mind is totally blank or full of turmoil. However, the best of ideas strikes you when you are in a totally relaxed mood. Similar to butterflies which approach, flit around you, or even settle down when you are at a standstill.

Moodmaker Effect:
Origin: From a little bit of musical inclination and (tee..hee) Radio City
I need to hear at least one good song in the morning to make my day. If not, I would have to at least remember one good song. There are times when I catch myself recalling some intricate melody as soon as I wake up and to my utter disgust, fail to recall later. It’s not as if as I eat, sleep and drink music. But ya, I cannot really exist without music-one necessity in any form, any melody. Food : hunger :: music : soul.


Pendulum effect:
Origin: From Gadha
Emotions vary in a manner similar to the pendulum:
Yuxtremely optimistic <-> optimistic <-> Balanced (realistic) <-> pessimistic <-> Yuxtremely pessimistic. The time needed to balance is what differentiates the emotional from the sane, and it is never the same all the time. It’s at this time when I feel the urge to actually talk to someone. Aauunnnddd the most likely targets are two of my corner-stones. Because, unlike most men, they actually listen without offering any solution :) !!


So.....any after-effects after wading through this post :) ?

Express yourself....

Managed to find one of my all-time favourite ads here. A near-perfect combination of music and emotions.....

Rate of download's a bit slow, but the end-result is worth the time.

Express yourself...... could not help feeling how difficult it is..... at times. And how frustrating if one's not understood.........

What's worse?
