some of this long weekend....

i have been watching these movies based on the times of Hitler lately.  different depictions really - guess there was so much happening during that time in the land of the Aryans that you could come out with a bundle of different narrations, each as intriguing as the other.  anyway, my point about these movies was that they are so bloody inspirational!  anything done against that man - Hitler, needed to be so resolutely defiant that the entire act is a perfect epitome of 'standing for your beliefs'.  i watch these movies in the night before going to bed and still have a hangover in the morning - not that its very strange to have one after watching a reasonably nice movie, but there is that touch of 'strength' that i tend to draw from the acts that people did during that time in Germany to defend their rights to live like free human beings.  its a good thing, i agree, but its still a damn hangover that makes me go back and think about it first thing in the morning!

on another note, i think one should be very wary of forming first impressions about people.  drawing conclusions about anything without proper evaluation and check more often that not is incorrect, and is more so with people owing to the fact that human beings are 'dynamic social creatures'.  i am saying this out of personal experience - so now that i have made the mistake, it might be smart for you not to make it.  like they say - you don't have to reinvent the wheel every time you think of making a car!

it was my brother's birthday a couple of days back and the little one seemed so nonchalant about it.  i mean he did celebrate and all but i guess this runs in my immediate family - we don't tend to make a very big deal out of them like some others!  i feel this is one of the many things that both my brother and myself have gotten from our dad - the attitude of not making occasions a very big deal.  its sometimes good, but i think there are times one should let it zip and celebrate like this is THE day!

staying alone gives one a lot of time to just think - and i love doing that at times.  its like some people say they think about things when crapping because they are alone in there, living alone is like being able to crap all day!  this trip to hk has given me a lot of space and time to just think.  not that i have been thinking like those who called themselves 'intellectuals' in the bygone eras, but yes i have given myself some time to dwell over things in peace and space.  some things that strike you are just so ridiculous, but i guess to find gold you have to go through some (maybe a lot!) limestones!  and now that i have sat down to pen what i have been thinking about - guess what, nothing would strike me!  so basically i have only found 'limestones' till now in my quest for gold  ;)

this one i think has been long and i am not saying that i don't have much more to write, but if  go on i would die of guilt as this happens to be my time to study!  ;)
