Over the past 2 weeks, I think I've completely lost it...
I've had this feeling before, but never did it last this long
I'm so numb, I can hardly feel a thing
One disappointment, another yet again, there... one more to the count
Wow this seems to be a hell of a year end!
People around, say things that they say - I've stopped reacting
Words just don't reach my mouth - I've even stopped expressing
When things start to go downhill - I take my seat for the deep, steep ride
Now - twist it may, turn it might - its all one and the same to me!

News Vs. Entertainment
Just over the past 2 days I've come across various news articles, mails and TV clippings which question what is shown on News Channels. Are we being shown only stories that sell or are we actually seeing 'the truth and nothing but the truth' as it is so often called.
Got a forward from a friend on how the news about Major Manish H Pitambare was completely skipped and all that TV news channels were showing at that time were the Sanjay Dutt story. This link has the details and also other interesting articles - the link
Next is the link to the interview with George Galloway in which he ripped apart Sky News for their inaccurate report on the Israel-Lebanon crisis. It is people like him who make people like us to stop and think again - the link
The number of News Channels has just been increasing.
So who is telling us the True Story?
Watched Kabul Express y'day and there too, the theme was very similar. Each character beautifully portrays the characteristics of the country he/she is from. After watching the movie I've been interested in knowing more about what Taliban is, what Al Qaeda stands for and where it all began. This is one of the very interesting links that I came across. Do check out the training manual given here.
Also found this report from the BBC site.
Now its got me thinking....

Waiting for ....GURU!
Watched Dhoom 2 today. Maybe I should say I watched Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2 today. His character completely overshadows everybody else's in the movie. Aishwarya is annoying, Abhishek is irritating... nothing more to say!
Mani Ratnam's movies are always a delight to watch. With themes so different, they present a whole new experience.
Not to forget another highlight of GURU, music by A.R.Rahman - the God of music!
Ths album is a master-piece. Each and every song, the way the singers' voices have been used, the fine blend of the numerous instruments...simply divine.
Favourite songs - Barso re, Tere bina, Jaage Hain and Ey Hairathe.
some tidbits on the movie...
naa na re naa na re naa na na nanare :)

Year End – @ a Dead End ?
After a lot of heaving, sighing and tugging along, I crawl past year-end mark. The ribbon at the finish line has finally been snapped in two. The past 3-4 months whizzed past me and I didn'’t even have time to measure the Speed of the Flight of Time!
Its December 2006. Today I sit down to think, what it is that I have achieved this year. What are the deeds that stand out from the rest, what makes me feel proud of myself (if at all there are any).
One-two.....five ok I confess its just a handful of things worth mentioning.
I look in the other direction, what all have I missed out on, with how many friends have I lost contact, how many times did I say "Sorry, I have no time - please try to understand"”. My God! this number is just too much, I don't have enough fingers and toes to count them all in one go!
Weighing things out - I have to do the balancing act. Its NOW or NEVER.
I have to decide where to draw the line and how dark and thick this line should be.
Did I have a good work-life balance? Life? What is that? Its just been work, more work and even more work! How do I feel about it? Not too good!… Of late, I wonder more often than not -Is it all worth it!
Am I at a dead end? Do I see no further path or do I see what I want to do?… I can'’t wait for time to tell me these things, it is for me to make the decision and the time is NOW!
Its so funny how I can totally relate to Dilbert :)
