Hi.
Well I've just woken up...after sleeping for less than 20 minutes. And, when I've just woken up, I tend to be really lost most times and today is included. I don't really have any 'thing' to say, but that's normal. But I have a cup of good ol' cappuccino, and I'm listening to Ronan Keating...'you say it best, when you say nothin' at all..' - lovely song. One of Brett Lee's favourites, and mine too! And I have a cold. Not exactly, but it's like, there are sneezes queued up in my nasal tract, and right now I'm awaiting my 437th sneeze of the day. I'm sure you don't want more details.
'When You Say Nothing' is by the way, on repeat, and I love listening to my favourite songs like that.
I read Amitabh Bachchan's blog yesterday - all of it. Half to see what the buzz is all about, but the other half because I was genuinely interested, and found him pretty good. Some of the lines his father, Dr. Harivanshrai Bachchan has written, are so good, so really good...that we don't even have a word for that. I read the entire book, the very famous Madhushala, and it's awe-inspiring. Really. We had some of his poems in our school text books, and those are practically the ONLY Hindi poems that I've really 'liked'. Oh, and if you didn't know - I'm really very good with Hindi - all my teachers for the subject have said so. Ditto for English. In fact, I still have a notebook, where my teacher - Mrs. Saha - wrote 'You have a genuine flair for the language', 'Good work!', and other encouraging stuff.
I definitely am good with words (and I don't mean it the arrogant way), but I still think - I say it best when I say nothing at all!
I wish there were more books like The Devil Wears Prada. I mean, light reading, you know. The Fountainhead is absolutely brilliant, but heavy all the same. If you know of books like that, please let me know!
Now, I'm really running out of things to say. As I very candidly admit, I'm getting boring. And what a time to start blogging! But then, I guess, what I've written previously - all my poems - should suffice until I regain my 'interesting-ness'.
I'll post my next post right away - a poem, on public demand!
See you around!
