Snow Army

When I woke up today in the morning, it was snowing.
Yesterday was different from typical friday nights, I didnt drink and I didnt go out.Obviously you get up early enough on saturday, when i say early ..early like. 8 o clk. There are patterns for snow fall, its logical to have patterns for snow because i knw that rains has it. But today i noticed a magical pattern of snow, instead of flying down, the snow flakes were moving more of a horizontal path than vertical one. It was like one is going in search of something, however when there was many snow flakes, it gave the impression of an army attacking and conquering my land.

it was beautiful.

Part 2: Always Sunset on third street

Impressed with the movie i found out there was a 2nd part released in 2007. I found it.
The second part opens good and gives you the same feeling as the first. It even makes
you nostalgic about the first movie. The director dont introduces his characters again,
he just goes forward with them and add new characters. Though I knew how the story
would go from the beginning , every minute of the movies was worth the watch.
8.0 out of 10 !!

Two Importatnt things in Life!

I was searching my email for an old mail and i stumbled upon this one. I am posting a extract from the email I sent to a friend.

Here----


first of all that was a very long mail.....

whatever we do in this life ....i believe the
final call should be ours......

we have to decide what wee need....
we should set our priorties.....

then there is no harm in it...but where we usuallly
fails is there when our priorties changes we feel that
what we did was fooolish..so the most important thing
should be careful in choosing our priorties....

second one is that we should make sure others are not
affected badly by our decisions.we should not force
someone to do soemthing they dont like......and sure
we should not bring in ego while making a decison.

there two things i belive is important.
then you had your priortyies you you did that
way.......and i am sure that there is not going any
change whether you work for a small comapny or big
one.....and atleast a few wont feel that way.


keeping words is the best thing a man can do and
verry difficult...... be proud that you kept your
words ...... but the important thing is that ..think
twice before you give a word.......

its foolish to stick to a word which was given without
thingking causing us damage ..so need to think before
giveing a words.

what ever your decisons you took was up to u..

Another list

Towards the end of my college days, these were some things I wanted to do.

1. To go to Bermuda triangle for fishing!
2. To collect 1 Rs from every Indian and bring back "Kohinoor diamond"
3. To have your name on money. (I hate this Idea now)
4. To reach enlightenment!

Always Sunset on Third Street.

A very well made Japanese movie ! It even had the nostalgic elements in it, like brining home the first TV, frist Fridge....7.9 out of 10.

Always (ALWAYS 三丁目の夕日)

Dir. YAMAZAKI Takashi (2005), 133 min.


Nostalgic recollection of the great boom of the late 50ies and early 60ies witnessed in a small street under the shining sky dominated by the newly constructed Tokyo Tower… Manga-based comedy stroking a child in everyone’s hearth. In Japan one of the most popular films of the last decade.

Eat Fish.

Czech people usually are not fond of eating fish, the reason they say is "we don't have sea". However there is a strong Czech tradition of eating a fish "karp" for the Christmas eve. During the Xmas times there appears big fish tank in the main streets, people buy these alive karp, take home, and put in their bath tub for a week or so, then kill on the xmas eve and eat it. on 24th we decided to buy Karp and try cooking,but the fish tanks had vanished from the streets by then.
Most of the Russian Cuisine is not fresh food, obvious reason Cold Winter. They have this preserved/salted fish eggs which they call as "ikrie" or something, and they love it. its kinda illegal to seel the black fish eggs in russia, they cost arround 20 000 INR for a can of 200 gm fish eggs. I did try the red fish eggs, though as usual non cooked food doesnt impress me much.

Diging a hole in YOU.

Quitting smoking leaves a big hole in you, in your habits, in your gestures, may be even in your character. I now have a big hole in me and don't know what to do with it. I find a change in the way I drink, I m trying to fill in the hole with beers, earlier I could only drink 3 or in rare cases 4 beers, but now..i find myself ending up with having 7 beers.

People change or their need change?

People change or their need change?


Most often I have heard the saying that its not the people, its you who had changed. On the contrary I have been noticing , its not you, its not the people, its the their need which changes!.

When you meet someone after a gap, you are meeting the same person, but they may not give the same priority for the same things which you had encountered earlier. I guess its that change in priority which makes us feel that they have changed.

However most people who had their big priorities of their life changed, yet keep up the warmth of your relationship, is true and will stay true. You can count on them.


Sanu.

The sky is blue, earth white.






The sky is blue, earth white.


The sky decorated the earth with its flowers, making it white like some Gods, way up there spilled a big jar of sugar over the city.

It’s beautiful when it snows, in my opinion its one of the must see wonders of a life time,
to see and feel snow fall. Each snow flakes, when examined closely is like a micro pine tree branch, beautifully crafted like a Swarovski crystal.

The whites of earth give a touch of living in fairly tales. It’s been a week now, that the snow had stayed without melting(-11 C today), i guess its the first time since i was here in Prague.

Hope it last forever, like in Marques novel when it rains, it rains for years continuously.


Love you Snow
