Diwali Disaster and Ra One!
No, my Diwali wasn't a disaster coz of Ra One. Its just another random title!
They say Diwali is a festival which makes you peaceful over evil by burning/bursting out evil and getting good. My mom would force me to light atleast a candle to throw out all the evil from me :) If this is true, don't we like to celebrate it daily? I don't believe in all this. If I want to have some peace, I make it right away at the moment. I don't wait for that RIGHT time. For me, the right time is right here! And yes! I love celebrating Diwali.
This is the second year in a row we couldn't celebrate Diwali here. I still remember last year spending dussera and diwali completely at temples as I was new to this place and no other chance except visiting temples with families I know. And this year, not that my connection with God is decreased but wasn't so much attracted to temples. We just planned to go to office in Indian attire, visit temple, see the fire works and have some good food.
But my day started as a disaster. As soon as I logged onto FB to wish my friends, all their updates caught my attention and I started missing my family and friends. The whole day I was numb, dull and left office very early. I wanted to spend sometime all alone. The best thing I could do is sleep and rest. Unfortunately, only after reaching the temple, we realised that the fire works are done the weekend before and nothing on Diwali except some pujas. Another Diaster! :(
Oh wait! There are these few good things that happened too - dressing up for office, good indian food and the photoshoot. My roomie and I are never bored of these! :)
Coming to Ra One, many people advised/suggested not to watch. But nevertheless, I watched it! (I don't believe things untill I see with my own eyes you know :P). Only after watching I understood that its lot better than the Hollywood series like Terminator. I agree SRK is looking foolish funny and they tried insulting immitating tamilians (which is not so good) showing SRK eating noodles + dahi with hand. Did you just say yuck? The much laughed joke is where Kareena says Kondom Kondom for Konjum Konjum (means little little in Tamil) :) I obviously liked the Chammak Challo song and I am still wondering why people dint like the movie (I have strange taste sometimes, never mind!).
P.S. I just received my iPhone.. yayyy!! :D

Can you believe what firefox just did to me? I typed such a big comment and it crashed on me :|
ReplyDeleteNever mind.
So I was saying, you look pretty in the Indian attire. I miss posing with friends when I was back in Bangalore....And you know Diwali could be quiet and hopeless when celebrate in this part of the woods. Mine was very quiet....
I am glad I was avoiding FB in festive season, else I may have cried...
Ra-One :D I did like it in bits and pieces...and yeah the curd+noodles didn't make me happy either/
@TheBluntBlogger, Thank you!
