Just random thoughts….

For people who are in relationships ..(I mean ‘real’ ones!!??!!)… I’m guilty of thinking this as well ..especially in my cynical later years.. Well I’ve noticed that everyone thinks that the relationships they are/were in are somewhat pure or more genuine than everyone else’s… and most people don’t hesitate from voicing their opinion regarding the same…. DUH!!!! Boyfriends/girlfriends, friends ,lovers, wives,husbands… world over are the same …there are no levels….but still people cast aspersions on anyone and everyone who isn’t them…

I’m starting to realize that in pretty much everyone’s lives there is a point where someone we look up to the most lets us down… it’s not easy to deal with … but in crunch situations I think most people crumble…. It’s interesting to see how folks deal with such situations…

I didn’t realize so many people thought about parallel universes …:..would’ve posted earlier on parallel universes .. ..but you know, wasn’t too sure about what would’ve happened in my best parallel universe , maybe the decisions I’ve made would be different, but I’m quite happy with the ones I’ve made up to this point so…maybe if the decisions/actions of others would be different ,things would be better ???!!??..I for one wouldn’t mind being in a universe where everything was “great” ..but you know I feel that like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz and Jimmy Stewart’s character in “It’s a wonderful life” ..in the end , inspite of everything I’d probably want to come back to where I am now (“There’s no place like home types”)..Though heaven knows why…

I watched Love Actually… I’ve been wanting to see it forever and saw portions of it last labour day and watched it last week completely ?(coincidence…yea life is full of coincidences!!) any how..it was a good movie ..in the league of Four Weddings and the Bridget Jones movies….no over the top, inspiring ..’make you wanna go out and act your own love story type’ scenes ( Serendipity, When Harry met Sally , Pretty Woman are more in that league)..But it did make me somewhat nostalgic for any country that wasn’t the US!!!!

Update: Been listening to some really old Hindi songs lately , I’m a bit of a retro freak.. but these songs if my parents knew I liked them they’d be a bit surprised.. because these are from when my parents were my around my age or close. My mom tells me to listen to Jagjit Singh.. but I cant seem to get beyond his cover versions of old Indian film songs.. anyhow.. i think the reason I like the old hindi songs is because they are something that my parents listened to while I was growing up… I guess those kannada Raj Kumar songs my dad played once in a while might fit into all this nostalgia…umm maybe not.. I’m not too sure my folks would find “if you come today’ as hilarious as I did!! …Back to Hindi I’m listening to Tujhse Naraaz from Masoom, I used to watch this movie umpteen times as a pre teen ,it released in 1984..(dont think it was a kid’s movie though… Mr. India was more a kiddie movie.. though I felt sad when the girl died towards the end…) also downloaded Kahin Door Jab from Anand.. seriously mom and dad are going to give me strange looks when they hear this it’s like on some level we’re on the same plane.. while for them it’s nostalgia ..with me it’s nostalgia for nostalgia.. getit??!!
