Minia's Mundane Musings

Sometimes one can make an effort to try and understand people but they make it so damn hard! You keep making excuses for their behaviour and keep giving them the benefit of the doubt, but maybe they are just not worth it! So cut them loose! We just have SO many grey cells and I am sure that they are much better utilized with other stuff! We can keep obsessing over why people are doing, what they are doing.... And how can they not do it! But let it be! Maybe they are just not worth it... Or could be that you thought them capable of stuff they have absolutely no potential for, so its ultimately your fault. LET IT GO! let them be at peace and you be at peace too. Remember, all that humans do is directed towards achieving comfort and contentment so let all the barbs go and life is so much better. So in conclusion the only way to avoid a misunderstanding is to make sure that you understand that some people are so not worth it. Whew writing here sometimes puts thin...

Ek Tha Tiger is essentially a romance masquerading as an action flick. Oh the charm of Salman is unmatched! I have never seen him look or perform better. He made my heart skip quite a few beats.:-) He was there in practically every frame of the movie and boy he was so cool. The film is well crafted too. I loved the way there were mini flashbacks telling us about his life.Nice touch Aditya and Kabir , very smart. Not too many dialogues, but whatever were there were again very smart.Fabulous locales for the romance to take root and flourish. And the romance was certainly more palpable than in Mausam-the recent one. I am longing to see it again very soon. This is specially written coz everyone said that i didn't write how the movie was! Watch it! P.S: The music could certainly have been better. Specially as it was coming on the heels of Cocktail .. Hmmm ...maybe they should have let Salman have more of a say in the music. I am sure it would then have been better. Enjoy the wa...

I once read in Linda Goodman's book that people with the sun sign-Aries tend to adopt people rather than befriend them.... Hmmmmm.... many many many years later methinks that I agree. The main problem in this scenario is that the person who gets adopted often doesn't realize that he has been adopted and then ensues a comedy of errors and often a tragedy of high proportions..... All this in because of expectations and no expectations I guess... So I think that it is best to go slow and not help people unless they ask for help, we should just watch people falling into holes and then rush forward only when they cry out aloud( aka Mahi..)     .....Naaah! This is something that I have never done and will never do, I shall always warn the person that there is a pit before they fall in, and if the person feels that my warning just slowed them down, just too bad ya! Saw GOW yesterday and was so impressed, what a movie, too blasting good.... Also am two-thirds don...

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 ev...

I was weeping buckets watching the last episode of this season of KBC. I didn't even understand why I was crying... Maybe coz I wouldn't get to see Amitji anymore or maybe coz I wouldn't know what to do with my evening time! I really didn't understand what it was that kept me glued to the TV screen for an hour and a half till I heard the words of Bhabhi's wise Father( Mr.N.C.Kapoor)...... He said and I write here in hindi for impact... "Garibi ki majboori hum kya samjhenge?" That is so true we have learned over the years to appreciate what we have and to be grateful for it but we don't have it in us to truly understand the desperation of poverty. We don't understand the desperation of the maid who tries too steal a couple of lemons! We don't understand the desperation of the maid when she sneaks in extra sugar into her cup of tea! We don't understand the desperation of the driver who takes ten rupees out of the petty cash to hav...
