Im going on a vacation starting from today. But the only vacation-y thing ill be doing is sleeping-eating-watching tv full time. No visits anywhere, no tours either :-(. But I plan to come back fully bloated up after 7 days of mom's delicious food and sleep :-D and hope I get to watch a few of the movies on my list.
Au revoir then :-)

movies unlimited
One more addition to my movie list :-D - Kingdom of Heaven : Delicious Orlando Bloom + a historical :-D.
I have been watching the trailers of Paheli and they are so good. So much colour, sharukh, gorgeous Rani, and the storyline also sounds really good. But I think the movie will be released after 3 more months :-(. Hum intezaaaaaaaaaaaaaar karenge :-D
Trailers of Kya kool hain hum are nauseating. Ekta Kapoor preaches so much about Indian values and morals in her serials and makes such sleazy movies!
Actually good number of watchable movies releasing this summer! but I hope I get to watch the movies on my list first.
2 days back, I got to watch Veer Zaara. I was crazy about the music earlier. Im in love with the movie too. Alright its all too idealistic and such things dont happen in real life or they are very rare but then it leaves u with a good feeling at the end. I always used to say that Sharukh excels in comedy and romance but he is intolerable in tragedy scenes. But he is much more restrained in this movie and has done a good job. Preity looks awesome :-D droooooooooools unlimited :-D Rani is my favourite star currently. She has so much attitude! Gives so much character to the role she plays.
Guess I should get back to my work now :-D khuda haafiz :-)

Lovely showers
We had a lovely rain latenight yesterday sometime around 1 am. Fierce winds, thunders, lightenings and stuff! It was such a relief after the sultriest day we ever faced in this summer! I was so caught up in the beauty that I forgot to take out my already dried clothes from the clothesline :-D
Summer musings
Summer is here :D Well for us Chennai-ites it is said that we have only 3 seasons around here - Hot, Hotter, Hottest :D So this is the hottest season we are going through ( also called the Chitirai). And being near the sea makes the climate here very sultry. But inspite of this, summer is my favourite season. I always thought winters were gloomy. After a dayful of sweat and grime, a pleasant breeze blows in the evening courtesy the sea again. Summer night skies are beautiful. The gulmohars- also called as May flowers bloom in May. Bright red trees lining the road are a sight to behold. I saw a gulmohar tree in full bloom on friday as I was passing through the city. I admit I rarely get up early in the morning but when I do wake up I love to hear the birds chirping. We used to live earlier in a place which had lots of flora and fauna, and summer mornings were really beautiful there. I was a good girl also in those days :D.
And summer also brings my favourite fruit- the mangoes. Somebody said somewhere that maybe Eve tempted Adam with a mango rather than an apple. Methinks thats very possible. If Eden doesn't even have mangoes, Im not interested in going there.
Plus we have the n number of things to cool it off like the icecreams, the more (Tamil for buttermilk), the coconut water- elneer in Tamil if Im right :D, juices etc. Earlier, summer days were synonymous with vacations too, but those were the days.................... sighhhhhhhhhhhh
So you see - Inspite of the heat and grime, summer is the best time :D
This summer, I have made out a list of movies to watch. Right now the number is just 2 - Paheli cos it has my favourite stars Sharukh and Rani and has been directed by Amol Palekar and Bunty aur Babli cos its an Yash Chopra flick and promises to be real fun.
By the way, I read a very interesting article on summer in Chennai in my favourite newspaper - The Hindu. Check it out.
