My Random Thoughts
I am back from my mean reds. Actually they dint last that long, thanks to my Bangalore trip. I was in there for just one day, but meeting S and having her whip my ass off for my so called taking-the-easy-way-out-lika-a-wuss did me a lot of good.
I was there last week; obviously it was a business trip, thanks to the interim meeting that we had with the client. We were supposed to make the presentation and get back to Mumbai the same evening, but I talked my manager into letting me stay the night in the city :)
I love Bangalore, but I never actually admitted it till now because I was always in the I-heart-chennai brigade. But then after living in Mumbai, going to any other city would make you think that you have time traveled to the future. Everything is so squeaky clean and you see new building everywhere and the people look better (I swear, they looked more friendly!). I know I am exaggerating but that’s how it was.
I was supposed to do a lot of things in Bangalore. Pecos for a cool beer and nice music, Blossoms for some good books and finally to Spratt for a hair cut which is very much needed. But I went to S’s place and crashed. So, yeah I went all the way to Bangalore to catch some sleep!
But then it worked out pretty well, I got up all rested and went to 13th Floor, which I must say is pretty good. When I am with S I don’t give a crap as to how much I drink. I got drunk on champagne (it was just Sula Brut :)). It was nice, just like old times when we used to get drunk in Bikes and talk and talk (generally S talking me listening giving me gyan about the shit that I do and sometimes vice versa)

Anyhoo, so today I watched Bridesmaids today and I was just reminded of Bangalore. I loved this movie, not in a its-funny-time-pass way but in a serious that-can-be-your-life way. It’s a story about two friends and how everything changes when one is going to get married and the other whose life is a literally in the drain. I could so totally relate to a few scenes (S, you know what I am talking about). It is so funny because it is all so painfully real.
I am in awe of Kristen Wiig, she is so awesome. I loved her witty banter and the ohh-so-real moments between her and Maya Rudolph. Everyone was saying that it’s like Hangover for women. But this movie is so not that. It has character, it’s a classic! There are no over the top stunts, no silly adventures but very real circumstances. And they have IT crowd’s Roy as the male lead!
I would totally suggest you to watch this one. Its not going to get released till august. So, download it off the net or live stream it but don’t miss it.
I have a lot to write about but I am watching Mentalist and I have a deadline, I need to finish season 2 by this weekend.
Je suis désolé :)
