No huddle offence !

The winter is back in. It was really nice last couple of days with 45s and 50s. Just found ot its gonna drop 20 degrees tonite and a feet of snow is expected tomorrow. Thank god theres no school for me this week. Superbowl was great, my fav the Pats made it again. Three times in 4 yrs. And that marked the inception of a new dynasty. My frnds in Boston are real happy. Anyways, Ive to go back to my CPA prep. It'll be one hell of a year...with 4 papers to clear by august.

Superbowl !

Tonite is the nite. The long awaited superbowl nite. Unfortunately the team I support is not playing tonite. But still its an event to watch, a nite to enjoy, a time to party. Im all in for the Pats, hope they can make it. Tom Brady will bring in all his plays. Will check back in later, after the game.

Page 3 - a must see

2 dialogues towards the end of the film brings out the essence of Page 3.
"There are no permanent friends or enemies in politics and in celebrity life" and Madhavi’s final uttering "For me, the party’s over"
Overall, its an A rate movie. May be it generalized the so called high-society and the celebrity life a little, but overall the performance and the portrayal of characters is excellent. Lata Mangeshkar’s ‘Kitne Ajeeb’ is a winner all the way.

The killer GAME of 29

Most sundays and sometimes Friday nights, this is a common picture in my apartment. We forget real life for a while and we play 29...the famous Indian Card game. We play till we drop dead. Our record is 12 hrs straight...which actually carried on to the following day. There's no money involved, but sometimes to make it more challenging and fun we put bets for lunch and dinner...the loser pays for all. There was one semester during our undergrad when we all struggled to keep up with our school performance, just because we were playing 29 almost everyday and everytime. Since then we dont play it anymore before exams. lol ! Afterall, theres is a saying in bengali.."tash, daba, pasha..tin shorbonasha"....translated: cards, chess and pasha - an ancient Indian board game, are three things which leads to disaster.

Thats sunday for us...playing 29.

One long day !

Today was one of the most hectic days I had since last 2 semesters. Yesterday night after watching Page 3, an awesome movie, I went to sleep at 3:30am. Had to wake up at 9 in the morning to goto the department and see this professor and no wonder he gave me enough work to keep me busy till lunch. By the time I was done around 1:30 pm, it was time for my study group. I had to literally run to the cafeteria and a grab a BK chicken sandwich and join my study group. It felt like I had my mental resources unaudited and misstated. Anyways, we struggled through our Audit project for around 4 hrs and then it was time to goto class. 6:50 pm class started and we found out today its gonna be a marathon class...that means the prof gonna keep us the whole 2 and a half hours and even more if needed. I dunno how I managed to stay awake all thru the class. When I came back home it was 10:30 pm, I dunno when I slept off. I just woke up few hrs back when my roommate came back from work, he is doing overtime (cuz its the tax season). Man its midnight. And so we had dinner, and now look at me I have to study 40 pgs for my CPA class and do the HW, if I want to stick to the schedule. Well Im halfway there, its 3:00 am now, hopefully after finishing this blog, Ill have enough energy...as this is supposedly a form of refreshment and relaxation for me (I cant relax by lying down, then Ill goto sleep), to finish up the rest of my HWs. May be this is normal for lot of ppl, like my roommate who is basically working 8-11 this entire week...but not for a lazy soul like me. I need 12 hrs of peaceful sleep to get me going. laters.

Dont worry bout signing ur Credit Card

I went to do grocery shopping after a long time. Normally my roommate takes care of it. But after such a long time Ive time, and some cash in the bank to go with. After spending like 30 mins I kinda filled up my cart, and knowing Ive to carry everything myself all the way to my apartment I decided not to walk back to the ice-cream aisle. At the counter I charged with my newly received credit card. I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card. She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she explained that it was necessary to compare the signature I had just signed on the receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared the signature to the one I had just signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they matched. Afterall as a friend of mine recently reminded me Indians are much smarter than Americans, be it in any level, its absolutely true.

Some films attempt to showcase a series of wonderful moments and tend to go overboard. Raincoat captures just one poignant moment and tells it as simply it can, leaving you with a 'wow!'
Raincoat is really a great movie. I dunno y I was so reluctant to watch it before.
