My gTalk status for the day

I stay online during day time using gTalk. Like every other instant messenger, gTalk also support custom status messages. I usually use quotations or a piece of Hindi/Urdu poetry as my status message. So I thought why not blog my status daily, this way I can share those great thoughts with everybody and I'll also have a archive of my previously used status messages.

My gtalk status for today was,

आदमी आदमी से मिलता है,
दिल मगर कम किसी से मिलता है!!

Super Saturday :)

Yesterday I saw three movies back to back, and it was quite phenomenal in many ways :D. First of all sparing this much of time for movies has really been a luxury lately, second I really didn't know that I could sit around for a such a long time and third it was these three great movies itself that really made my weekend rocking.

First of them was "Once upon a time in the west". Its a 1968 western classic directed by legendary Sergio Leone. It is one of those films that can easily make anyone feel that they have just seen a masterpiece. It has everything excellent screenplay, exceptional acting, great locations and not to mention masterful direction. And it also features one of the most sensuous actress I have ever seen, Claudia Cardinale.

Second was "No country for old men", and I must say it might just live up to all the Oscar expectations associated with it. Its a good movie, really well made. Though it might not cater to everybody's taste, due to excessive violence and blood being shown throughout. Tommy Lee Jones has delivered good, especially later in the second half. But the its Javier Bardem that really stole the show, he's excellent in the role of ruthless hit-man.

Third movie was "Across the universe", and it was a refreshing experience. This film is different, quite far from the usual genre. Its a love story set in sixties, woven in to several other significant things of that time (Vietnam War for instance). Its pretty much like our Bollywood films, Beatles songs are used to carry the story forward (though most of them are cover versions). But cinematic quality is far beyond the reach of average bollywood flick, at some points it gets very artistic .

Welcome 2008

The year 2008 has started, and for no concrete reasons I am pretty hopeful about it. When I say I am hopeful, it also suggests that there are some expectations & aspirations to couple with. I can say this on my personal experience, last year I had no expectations, no aspirations to begin with. So as to say I didn't hope for anything. I lived entire year like a dry leaf on a blowing breeze.

As far as my expectations & aspirations go, I have decided something. Instead of chasing each one of them disjointedly, I am just going to focus on one target. To do full justice to my capabilities, to do everything I do with all my heart. This way I will be a better person all-round.
