Well, the summer is almost over, and the classes begin from this Thursday. As I look back on my life for the last three months, it was rather slow. I had a few some goals set up for me, but I have to admit that I hardly fulfilled any of them. This is embarrassing to say the least. I had started this blog in the lazy days of the summer, and honestly speaking, on those days I was becoming little bit lazy. Needless to say, hence the title of this blog. Anyway, those peaceful summer days have gone, and a new quarter begins this Thursday. I will be taking three courses, though I am registered for four as of now. I am not feeling good about life these days. The research during the summers was not quite successful. There were more than enough problems in other fronts of life too. But for the last few days I am getting the feel of an increased pace of life, and I am sure that will go on in an increasing note for the next few months. I had a good enough summer hibernation – now it is time for work.

On a different note, watched few more movies for the last few days, but I was somehow not in the mood of writing anything. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was quite an above average movie – especially when you consider the making of the movie. Watched a couple of hindi movies too – what was its name.. yeah – Flavors. OMG. I was feeling so humiliated – in a swift stroke our value in the Indian nuptial market as a handsome prospective husband working in America and earning in dollars was cut in half (or maybe even one-fourth for that matter).

Anyway, I feel the increase of pace in my life, and I just have to ride along the wave….

WooHoo… Just installed it.. lets see how the Version 1.0 of this popular browser is coming…

What can I say? I, being an avid Computer Games enthusiast, absolutely detested the game Resident Evil, and never could play it for more than 5 minutes, and still I watched this *obvious* sequel to a movie which everybody in my social and friend circle have rejected with just one word: “pathetic”.

Well, I liked the first movie. (If it is still not clear to you, I have a strange taste in movies, I admit). It was exsessively gory and gut wrenching at times, but overall I liked it. And that was the primary reason behind my watching the sequel. (The secondary being the trailers with some nice action sequences with scantily clad Milla Jovovich.)

But this movie, to me, was kind of disappointing. It was gory, sickening, (as expected).. and I did not like it. ( and even after trying hard, i cannot remember why I liked the first one). There were just too many zombies, story was weaker than expcted and I will think twice before wasting my time on the third sequel.. (the ending of this one clears the pathway for another sequel).

It reminds me of the Alien series – painfully elongated over a bunch of sequels.

This is interesting to note that in the first page they have an article, in which there is a link where people can post their first sexual experience. Not that I disapprove this kind of thing, but it looks a bit odd to me. Indiatimes.com is becoming more of a masala board than a newspaper, I think.
