WEEKEND DIARIES

Chak de India!!!

In a country where sporting success is synonymous only with Cricket, a movie on Hockey was quite a daring attempt... but what a way to pull it off.

In my mind, this movie surpasses Lagaan, sheerly because of the reality in the script... you actually end up believing that this can happen. The movie has humor, drama, action... and a LOT of patriotism. SRK is at his best as Kabir Khan, the coach...and his gang of girls match up to him... god knows why we dont get more such movies from our beloved Bollywood.

I am sure this movie would be the saving grace for YRF, after the string of sub-standard trash that they have been doling out in the last one year.

SQUASH... my latest passion

2007-08-18T13:54:00.000+05:30

Sometime in the summer of 2005, I chanced upon the game... we were at a conference in Goa and the Hotel happened to have a squash court... and being an avid tennis player in school, I took an instant liking to this game...

But it was not until sometime early this year when i moved houses did I get a chance at the game again... that's because my complex happens to have a Squash court. Since then it has become the love of my life... but whats so great about it.

To the viewer it mas seem like a munday game where two people keep on senselessly hitting the ball to a wall... but there is much more to it.

FIRSTLY, it is the most physically active racquet game in the world... 60 minutes of Squash burns MORE THAN 700 calories.

Then comes the strategy...unlike other racquet games where you and your opponent have different playing areas, in this game the it a common area, which makes it that much more difficult to hit winners...and of course rallies are longer.

So if you want to get fit quickly...SQUASH is the game for you.

I am back

Busy, busy, Busy

Last 10 days have been extremely busy and so will the next 10 be... too much slavery... but I will be back.... SOON.

Life of a Yuppie

2007-03-16T22:41:00.000+05:30

The lives of all YUPPIES are the same...split in 2 parts by a thin line

- Weekdays and Weekends -

Weekdays are a necessity, 5 insane days when you become a machine...you do not think just ACT... 5 mundane days of slavery... 5 days spent yearning for the weekend.

AND then the WEEKEND comes... 2 days to unwind, relax, regain our sanity...2 days to become a human again... 2 days when we let our minds free... so that it can be caged again.

But, sometimes the line becomes hazy and we forget being human altogether

Weekend Diaries comes from the Yuppie in me..trying to be human again.

What made me start this blog

2007-03-16T13:20:00.000+05:30

I think its been more than 2 years since I first thought of starting a blog... but an amazingly hectic work schedule coupled with life in a new city gave me the excuses to stay away from it.

Then i came across a blog that made me start mine.

I dedicate my blog to The Parish http://theparish.blogspot.com who is my inspiration for this.

THANK YOU.
