Chanting ....and Olympian efforts!

Am going to attempt chanting on a massive scale over the weekend.

My goal is to do a hundred. Each one takes just over 4 mins. So I hope that I can find 410 mins to myself over the weekend.Lets see how it goes.( That is just short of 7 hours! wow! Hmmmmm....)
The whole objective of the attempt is to memorize the chant....
I have such a good memory that it baffles me as to why I am unable to memorize this particular one in spite of having tried it for 6 months now.
Well I am giving it an Olympian try for 2 days.....
Thank God chanting is not a game of Doubles or else my Olympian effort would surely come to a naught!
(Nudge! nudge! Wink! Wink!)

Ha! Maybe this is why the inability to memorize.... I can't stop being bitchy!
Hee hee but feels so good.
I really admire the dignity which Paes is showing.
Inspiring.....

But the whole fiasco has firmed my belief that it is the squeaky wheel that gets the grease...

Today's events taught me too, to be a tad bit squeaky! High times!

Monica, O My Darling

Straight off the bat, let me tell you that I went into this movie cold. I just saw the trailer and put it on my watch list. I was totally enamored with the cast and the premise. I knew I was going to watch this one, so I didn't delve into the promotional shenanigans.  So if you are of the same bent of mind, stop reading and start watching.  And on your behalf, I did Google Ankola, it is a town in Karnataka and is not to be confused with Akola in Maharashtra. Ha ! Ha! Netflix has been delighting us with gems like Raat Akeli thi, Haseen dilruba and Bulbul. Add this one to that list and think Gehraiyaan. I need not stress on the proficient star cast. They are masters of their craft. Starting with the sneaky Rajkummar Rao, the sultry Huma Quereshi and the wily Radhika Apte, the ensemble includes the creepy Sukant Goel, the beleaguered Zayn Marie and many others. For me Sikandar Kher was a standout. A shoutout to his intensity and his baritone.  The dialogues are spot on and t...

Razorblade Tears by S A Cosby

    This book belongs to the revenge trope and I enjoyed reading it for a reason, other than just the story or the thrills, it was for the delicious turn of phrase, that the author employed. Here are some examples: “It didn’t seem fair for a man to mourn someone so deeply, whom he had loved so miserly!” “Wound on his cheek was weeping like a broken-hearted bride.” “As careful as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.” “Give a man a clipboard and watch his true nature come out.” “He smiled; it was like watching an icicle form.” The story is about two men who are bound by destiny, when their sons who were married, are murdered. The tapestry is enriched by the fact that one family is black and the other is white. Throw in the fact that both the fathers are ex-cons and you have an intrigue on hand. Other than the language I liked the way the conversations were handled and how the characters were revealed by thought, word and deed, rather than extrapo...
