Getting drunk for the first time… is fun! :p
Enjoying the 2 bottles of hard lemonade that Boss gets for u to “see when do u get drunk”, sensing that something funny is happening to you, but conscious of the fact that while u r with ur boss and his girlfriend, u cannot talk nonsense, forcing urself to think sense while being aware of a strange but funny spinning of ur head, afraid that ur tongue will start slurring any moment, marvelling at the fact that u r able to walk quite steadily inspite of the feeling that ur feet do not seem to be fully in ur control, struggling to attach a tip to the pipette, feeling amused at everything happening around u…. is absolute and total fun!! :p

Closest i’ve ever come to getting drunk…

The truth is that there is only one terminal dignity — love. And the story of a love is not important — what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.” ~ Helen Hayes

Love is the extremely difficult realisation that something other than oneself is real. Love, and so art and morals, is the discovery of reality. ~ Iris Murdoch

“Physics isn’t the most important thing. Love is.” ~ Richard Feynman

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.
Neil Gaiman

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave. ~ Mohandas Gandhi

True love is rare, so when you find it don’t let it go just because of a barrier you can’t cross.
Ray H Wall

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.” ~Robert A. Heinlein in Stranger in a Strange Land

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.
W. H. Auden

We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.
Tom Robbins in “Still Life With Woodpecker”

New beginnings and new shoots
Spring again from hidden roots
Pull or stab or cut or burn,
Love must ever yet return.
~ Robert Graves ~

But its not really THAT bad, is it?
Everything is still the same.. And there is still happiness all around..
Thank you, AV, for showing me hope in the hr of darkness and despair, for being my patronus and guiding me out of the cold chill of gloominess, for helping me see the magic all around.. once again.
Thank God for friends! There would be no meaningful life without the magic created by friends.. Thank you all, folks!

Its over. Just finished reading what i wanted so badly since the last two yrs.. Ever since i read vol 6 for the first time.
And again its the same feeling of loss. not because of anything bad happening in the story. Thats all fine. but because its over. There’ll not be any more harry potter books now. The great harry potter story has ended.
Why am i feeling soo bad?? Wish i could be with somebody right now.. wish i could just talk to somebody..
This immense gloom.. Sadness. Why did i read it? As long as i hadnt read it, there was something to look fwd to.. It seems so very stupid to feel this way, but it suddenly seems as if all hope is gone. That all stories have finally ended now. There’ll not be any more magic now..
Is it just the book i m thinking abt? I dont know. Its very difficult to tell nowadays.

Sleep, Child! Sleep.

Well, so one cat is out of the bag. It was a good experience, definitely, going for the last show on the opening day of a harry potter movie in IMAX, 2 days before it releases elsewhere.. The last 20 minutes or so were 3-D and that was really cool.
The movie… well, lets just say that it is almost impossible to make a great 2 hr long harry potter movie based on a 800 page book. And that too the least popular book in the series… the one which cannot exactly be called a “happy book”. The movie has short modified glimpses of most of the main events in the book, and those r picturised beautifully, but that’s almost all thats there. You sort of keep waiting for the story to start when u realize that its over.. At least that’s what i felt.
Other than that it was a good experience.. reaching the theatre one and half hr early (when we already had the tickets), realizing that we were supposed to join an already quite long queue of ppl, and then getting a sadistic pleasure out of watching ppl joining the end of the ever-increasing queue, astonished at its length.. But ppl came quite prepared for this.. they sat in the queue, playing cards, reading books, eating, chatting away to glory, and doing other interesting things.. :p
So all in all, it was an evening (and night!) well spent.. Even the movie wasnt THAT bad.. after all it was a harry potter movie!

I sometimes hold it half a sin
To put in words the grief I feel;
For words, like Nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within.
~ Alfred, Lord Tennyson ~

“Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair.”
