I'm going......... :)

“Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless. --- and I did it this time :)

This has been a particularly insipid weekend for me....tried to make up a grp for a game outside like a "Laser Tag game event" or  "Bowling". when these didn't work out I wanted to go for "Up" and "Drag me to hell". To my bad luck even for tat i didn't have any company :( had to fall back on my tried and tasted method of wknd time pass, actually i ended up being at home for more than 48 straight hrs at my home. just moved from my bedroom to the living room or to the kitchen to pick up some snack or a ready made meal from Costco :D.

so here's the list of movies i catched up on during the past 48 hrs...of my life :-

Friday night

***************

0) When Harry Met  Sally -- This has to be one of my fav eye opening movies of all time. every time i watch it has something new to say....ouch...emotional but enjoyable stuff on love and friendship.

1) Hazaroon khwahishein Aisein--- thumbs up to good acting by Shiney Ahuja and chitrangada singh for her looks :) movies is like 6/10.

Saturday 

**************

Saturday morning i spent 2 hrs on watching spelling bee contest finals which has been won by the amazing 13 yr old Kavya Vishwanathan.....she is outstanding... god bless her :)

Saturday afternoon

******************

2)  Nick and Norah's infinite playlist - the girl Norah in the movie is seriously good looking and charming...wats her name ? anybody ??

3) TZP - just a fast forward rerun on this ever green movie...:) who doesn't love it anyway :D

4) Bheja Fry -- to Revise....

5) Kung fu Panda -- didn't complete it.

Sunday

*****************

6)  Chandni Chwok to China -- beech mein net kharab ho gaya...will complete it some wknd. didnt seem very etertaining though...

7)  Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay ---- A slapstick comedy, not much fun.... wish Kal penn gets more roles as in Namesake.

8) Youve' got mail - Watched half of it -- an enjoyable flick to catchup on any time....

Dats it phew 9 movies watched in all ( including the partial ones on which i spent at least close to 1 hr or so )

well next wknd i am all going for "Up" i cant miss it, any takers ?

Finding arranged love on flight....

Another boring monday at work and I happened to stumble upon rediff.com again (BTW it is my fav office time pass, especially get ahead section)

Get ahead section in rediff interests me a lot as it offers something which other news portals do not have. It talks about Career, Money, education and love n lifestyle. 

Browsiing further on love and lifestyle I found out something interesting. A quick dekko at the concept of "arranged" love in Indian vs Western cultures.

An interesting read...

My weekend splurge...

Well call it stupidity or call it being naive, whatever. I am spending my dollars on things I love to spend on every weekend.(Blame it on my anti-recession depression)  Last week, it was on my first "Puma" and this weekend it was a "Mustang" ( not the car, just a perfume). 

Have a look, ain't it gorgeous?

My most frquented place in my favorite city !

I have always wanted to share some of things which I do for leisure on my weekends here in San Diego and visiting Del Mar for a coffee or simply for a beach experience, comes top on my list of things to do. 

It is the nearest beach accessible for my residence. A drive down south on the Bernardo Center Dr-Carmel Valley-CA-56 takes me their in 15 mins.  It's a beach town meaning "by the sea" in Spanish. This info is taken from Wiki off course :)  It is a town on the edge of pacific ocean in the San Diego county, CA. Upon further research I came to know that this town is for the rich and famous with median income touching 80K $$ per annum for an individual. 

An evening of a Chai Latte taken from the nearby Starbucks and walk on the beautiful beach of Del Mar with friends can refresh anybody, so cheers to one of my most fave places on earth (incidentally it is also the first beach for me in the land of USA. ) Below are some of the fresh snaps which I took last Friday evening on a borrowed camera from a friend.
