A thumbs up for Proposal D. :)

I don't know how this entry is going to turn out like, but I felt I just had to put this up before I lose this feeling.

There have been many times when I have been carried away by watching dramas or animes, or reading mangas. I guess this is one of those times as well. :) But then, I can't help being overhelmed with such feelings, right?

Everytime, I end up writing something like this, and later, laugh at it thinking, 'How pathetic.' But is it really? I wonder about that. I know it's not;but I'll never admit it to my my sane self.(does something like that even exist?)

When you like someone, you find yourself working harder and harder each day. You do stupid things but they suddenly don't seem that stupid. I've had such experiences myself, and I can finally smile while thinking about them now. ^^

While I was watching Proposal Daisakusen, my thoughts varied from various fields and to various people. The importance of friendship, the joys and the pain of liking someone, the importance of time and doing things when you have the chance, about not having any regrets... I even thought about my dad, my sister, and my friends. And I realized so many amazing things! It was a very enlightening experience. Somehow, I feel like I grew up a bit today.

The first episode wasn't that impressive. However, as the story progressed, it grips your heart. This series made me cry like a girl, laugh like a younster, and smile as an onlooker. It was definitely worth ditching my study plan and watching it. xD

'Chiisana koi no uta' is a song that features in this drama. According to me, it's the most perfect love song that I have ever heard. The words are balanced, deep and yet simple. The drums and guitars give a refreshing feeling to it. It sounds the best when you listen to it on full volume, like I am doing now.

So please watch it if you can!

The Lost Symbol.



Author : Dan Brown
Release Year : 2009
No. of chapters : 131(what the?!)
Favorite Line :
"Robert?" Peter smiled and waved him in."I'd like a word."
Langdon managed a grin."Yes, I hear you lost one."


Finally finished Dan Brown's new thriller, which, as expected stars his favorite protagonist Robert Langdon, the symbologist from Harvard.

Dan Brown's style of writing has become unexpectedly similar, which made it quite easy to guess the flow of the story. Especially, the villain's character was the easiest. However, no matter how repetitive, the author's detailed descriptions reflect the huge amount of research which goes in every book that he has written till now. I wonder if it was only me, but The lost symbol had me laughing on many more occasions as compared to the other thrillers involving Langdon. One prominent and much welcomed difference was that the heroine and our 46 year old extremely fit, stunning and intelligent professor(with blue eyes :P) had almost negligent chances of any romance blooming between them. Was it because this time, Ms Katherine Solomon was too old for the fanciful man who was seen changing women in his earlier appearances? :P Just kidding. It just so happens that I am not quite a fan of Robert Langdon, even though his vast amount of knowledge is amazing. ^^' I really liked the other prominent characters in the story-- those being Peter Solomon and Inoue Sato.

The ending seemed quite a drag and it was a little tough for me to relate to the story there. However, I still have some of my favorite parts in the story. For eg, Langdon pondering over the history of 'neckties' and how they had originated-- it was quite fascinating; even li'l things can have such funny and ironic histories, lol :D. Another one of my favorites were Langdon's lectures to his students and how he feigned his expressions leading them on a roller-coaster ride to make them understand what he was trying to say. Did I just fail to notice all these in the previous books, or has Dan Brown improvised?? I have no idea.

All in all, it was worth a read, really informative, exciting(until I figured out what was going on) and totally not a waste of time. It cured my reader's block(yes, apparently, there is such a thing and I had it since the past year or so. >.>). I suppose I owe the author a thanks for that! :)

All-time fav!

Eventhough I had decided that I am not going to flood this blog with my poems( only ), I simply had to put this one up. It's just so good! ;) Every time I read it, it makes me think..."Damn, am I really a good poet or what!? xD"

Anyway, here goes :

Look up,
Move around,
Slow down..
Take a deep breath.
Smile uncannily,
Laugh heartily.
Make a good show,
Tax it high.
Dance about,
On your own toes, but.
Be there,
And somewhere else, next.
Follow a trajectory,
Totally undefined.
Change the rules,
Rule the change.
Illusionize footsteps;
Exist,
In a universe,parallel.
Go crazy.
Think sane.
Accept the wrong,
Always be right.
Attend the masquerade,
Remember the shoe,
Beat the host,
Be a black body.
Look up,
Turn around,
Fasten up,
The show is on.

Laut ke budhhu...

Irrashaimasen~

The last time that I deleted my blog, I thought, I am so not coming back here.

Hah. :P

Anyway, I am here finally. After a well-deserved break and a fresh mind and outlook. I hope I'll be able to keep my blog regular this time and make more and more people read and enjoy it. ^^

So then, see ya soon with my first official entry! :)
