BVHK's world-view

Feynmanesque pursuits

I have been trying to observe what goes on in my mind just before I sleep- I had read about this in Surely You are Joking,Mr. Feynman.For the last one week I have tried to figure out what is the last memory before I go to sleep - what I have observed till date is that I have been having a much eventful sleep since I started this exercise.I have been waking up with a start wondering what I had forgotten to 'work on'.My primary observation has been that my brain gets into an active mode rather than switch off completely. I have to admit though, that I still haven't been able to track down exactly what was happening in my mind just before I sleep.

If someone has tried this exercise,I'd be interested to know about the findings/observations.

God - The three finger salute is required

A horror season is On and there seems to be no end to it.

Manchester United ended one of their worst seasons. Malcolm Glazer has not helped matters.

Real Madrid has ended another season without any silverware.

Ferrari seems to be totally clueless this season.

Sachin Tendulkar has had a bad run for far too long.

Brian Lara has played some brilliant innings but not of any value - the ODI series was bad even by West Indian standards.

Tridev

The sad version of Main Teri Mohabbat Mein is a good song.Wonder where did Viju Sha pick that one from?

Another thing to note from that movie is the background piece which is played whenever Amrish Puri appears on screen.The 'Ponyeeeein' sound is a hot favourite with a Tam friend of mine whose exposure to mainstream masala movies just went a level higher with Tridev.

P.S. Earlier I had written Vipul Sha instead of Viju Sha.

News

I just checked my weight on Saturday and the machine claims that I have lost seven kilos over the last month.I still have some doubts - seems to be too big a loss in too short a time period.However,I do feel good about whatever I have lost.

Khwaishein

I think it is time I buy H2G2.I had read most of it at Crossword and have heard all of the mp3 recordings of DNA.

I have to watch Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi.

I want to crack one Hindu Crossword completely.

I want to watch Star Sports and ESPN at home - for as long as I can.

I want to have a hot sizzling chocolate brownie.(This is going to happen in the evening)

I want to have one full day of rest.

I want to finish one volume of the Jeeves omnibus in one sitting.

Legal Eagles in India need to wear glasses

We need to dedicate resources to revamp lot of systems in India - Law is one which needs immediate attention.The system of proving guilt is too elaborate and long drawn for a fair judgement.How many such people have not got justice because of various loopholes?

Selection woes ?

I don't think this would have been a possibility in Indian cricket.

Blame Me

I take full responsibility for the deflated tyre yesterday. After talking so much about how I should not miss a single race again in this season, I could not make it to a TV which showed Star Sports in time and the result is there for all to see.The born optimists that we are, we will still not lose hope.

Yeh sab kya ho raha hai?

This is really bizarre.I liked Kiran Bedi's reaction though - very balanced.

Zamaanat pe Zamaanat

What motivates Producers to release such films? Other than Mughal-E-Azam, I don't know of a single movie which got delayed inordinately and went on to do well.If there are other movies, please point them out.

IIRC, this AB-Vijayshanti starrer has been in the pipeline since 95-96.Personally I don't like the movies Ramanathan makes.
