Snatch

Watched Snatch yesterday...a Guy Ritchie flick. I won’t call it directed by Guy Ritchie; the apt word would be crafted. It is an art form in itself. He has expertly managed to include all the players in such a manner that they contribute to the story and supplement each other. Now I have to scout for more Guy Ritchie movies, Abhinav help me.Tell me where can I get his movies in Mumbai.

Age of loneliness

Felt odd coming back to an empty flat. Yes there is a consolation as Satish will be coming back soon and Takur will be joining us. But looking back, my three year stay in Flat no: 415, B1, Chitrawani has been eventful. Over the years the number of members reduced from an all time high of six to the current low of three (including Satish & Takur). The exodus started one year back by Bibya’s marriage. The last one happened this Saturday with Loki getting married. For me, all of this appears to have happened very fast. No more I can fight with Tarun over VH1, Star Movies and HBO, can discuss crap with Loki (We have debated over all sort of crap under the sun).  

Normally it will be 9:00 P.M when all the members will be getting back to the flat. (Strike out Loki, his normal time is between 11:30 P.M to whatever time). Everyone is tired and frustrated by the day’s work, but it does not come in the way of a good fight / healthy debate (Inclusion of Loki in healthy debates normally ends with him getting beaten up).  For outsiders the topic of fights may look like crazy, but for us it is just normal. Economic growth trends comparison between India and China, Inflation and its impact on common man and banking norms are just some of the topics. I do not why people view these topics as queer.

They say that marriage is a life changing event in a Man’s life, but in this case marriage of my room mates are turning out be life changing events for me. I no longer feel like watching English entertainment channels and am viewing the topics like debt burden of Dubai as odd topics.

It is only a matter of time before Satish and Takur will move out, then what. I am staring into gloom. I can feel the insanity that’s creeping in. God please save me.
