I will come back
Im just back from a long weekend spent at home during which I enjoyed Diwali and celebrated Eid and slept through a considerable part of it. The weekend started with the very sad news that Arafat is no more. Though this was very expected after the sudden collapse of the leader, it still was a sad news. I have never followed world or national news that closely. But Palestine and Arafat are almost synonomous to me. My last impression of him is the grinning Arafat on the pages of Hindu saying I will come back. Im sure it will take more than a generation of people to forget him.
Unfortunately, we had to depend totally on DD News which happens to be very repetitive. They dont even change the order or their exact sentences throughout the day. So, we heard innumerable times that India was the first non-arab state to recognise Palestine as the legitimate authority of the Palestinian people and that a kid in Chennai will burst crackers and then take oil bath and go meet his relatives. Oh boy did I miss BBC and NDTV !!!! Believe me DD is lousy. They are going to now make it digital. Access is through the cable operators. God knows who will want to pay for that channel.
OK now back to work. Hundreds of things to do and thousands of worries on my mind. I wish I can skip these years and directly go to the sweet blissful days that Im fervently hoping will arrive soon. Woh din kabhi to aayenge.

Phir Milenge
I saw Phir Milenge this weekend. I liked the movie a lot. It deals with a serious issue like AIDS but with the right amount of sensitivity with humour sprinkled here and there. Surprisingly, this is the first time I have seen a Shilpa Shetty movie. I liked her too. She had a no-nonsense voice plus tons of attitude. Abhishek was adorable. Nice eyes and good height were always an attraction to me :D. On the other hand, we dont know how we will react when we are faced with a situation like this. Everyone is afraid of death.
On the book front, I am reading Chocolat now. Its written by Joanne Harris. She is a very good writer. I had read her Five Quarters of an Orange and Holy Fools earlier. She writes in a frank, clear language and gives a nice thrilling twist to her stories. And she also flavours her story with the mention of delicious food stuff. I just cant wait to finish the day here and get back to the novel.
Ok now back to the drab work. Just a thought - If we have a very limited time to live, why do we spend years in a boring lab in front of a boring comp.
