"You are lost"
"I am not",taking a sharp right
"So when is the next turn?"
Takes a left and another, the Kid hits his blonde furry head on the window "Ouch"
"The next turn is when you feel like having another OUCH ", For a moment there the kid looks like he would love to take a swing.I mean he is a kid and all but he would have loved to use his forearm on this bulk of leather on his side.Who wears so much brown anyways??

Eternal sunshine
Every thought absolved, every breath excused
One little moment to remember
Every other time ,erased
Where one can see only a bit
and picture is blinded by the eternal sunshine
Of the clear bright large
blank brain

I like the old DD
I am all in for globalization, I do get to see stuff like PB,Lost,Bones,Chuck but I seriously wish DD was back to its old form.I liked it!
I remember a fine saturday afternoon where I was trying desperately to get out of an extra class,again.This one was however memorable because the reason I gave was-Dad,I want to watch that Bengali Subtitle film.And parents actually considered it.Unfortunately I can't recollect the name but it was a Suchitra Sen flick.
Thanks to DD's National Awards winning films slot ,i ended watching awesome-I mean awesome-Movies from Bengali,Malayam,Marathi and even Assamese (Raag Biraag)
But then again,DD wasn't just into reginal flicks.There was this one night I was detained in my room because my parents were watching a PG movie-The Silence of the Lambs*.Yes ,it was on DD.
Talking of international,my first brush with Bryan Adams was also courtesy of DD's hour long special.
Its highly unfortunate that DD has to be scrapped to pave way for these unbelievably dumb tv series that airs nowadays.Here are few stuff that DD churned out

Its highly unfortunate that DD has to be scrapped to pave way for these unbelievably dumb tv series that airs nowadays.Here are few stuff that DD churned out
- Bharat Ek Khoj-It was shot so beautifully too!
- Tamas- Heart Wrenching!!!!! (Tamas and Gram Hawa are the best of the lot about partition)
- Mirza Ghalib - Such a fine potrayal
- Surabhi - Common,we all knew how good they were
- I forgot the name of the weekly science show
- Adaptations of various acclaimed novels like-Veyi padagalu (Hazaar Pan),Chekov's short stories
- Byomkesh Bakshi -The charming Rajat
- Dekh Bhai Dekh was rofl stuff
- I am pretty sure I am forgotting good stuff starring likes of Pankaj Kapoor,Raghuvir Yadav,Zohra Sehgal,Mita Vashisth
Now I look at all the 50 odd channels available to me and don't see a single show measuring up to these! Its highly unfortunate .
Few things I associate the 90's with
Mile Sur mera Tumhara
Hamara Bajaj
Rashtriya Sakhsharata Mission
Ek Chidiya
*I took me another 6 years to finally watch the movie.I went and hugged my dad for not letting me watch as a kid,i would have named my boogeyman as Lecter.

Unbearable lightness?
The idea of eternal return is a mysterious one..
If every second of our lives recurs an infinite number of times, we are nailed to eternity as Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross. It is a terrifying prospect. In the world of eternal return the weight of unbearable responsibility lies heavy on every move we make. That is why Nietzsche called the idea of eternal return the heaviest of burdens (das schwerste Gewicht).
If eternal return is the heaviest of burdens, then our lives can stand out against it in all their splendid lightness.
But is heaviness truly deplorable and lightness splendid?
The heaviest of burdens crushes us, we sink beneath it, it pins us to the ground. But in the love poetry of every age, the woman longs to be weighed down by the man's body. The heaviest of burdens is therefore simultaneously an image of life's most intense fulfillment. The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become.
Conversely, the absolute absence of a burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into the heights, take leave of the earth and his earthly being, and become only half real, his movements as free as they are insignificant.
What then shall we choose? Weight or lightness?
