The Thick Plottens

in too deep and lost in time

Posted by: astrodominie on: April 19, 2009

Well, let’s see.

  • The past ten days have been terribly confusing. I’ve gone back and forth in my head too many times to count, I’ve worried about doing the right think, I’ve had the usual mind-versus-heart clash which is quite pointless, really, because the right thing to do is quite clear.
  • Having gotten that convoluted expression of feeling out of the way: we had a final Submarining session. Don’t think J, D, K, Kam and I will ever get together again, even if, by some miracle, the convocation plan works out. We’re the unlikeliest of friends. All the other groups in college had a reason to get together — an extension of the first semester divisions, connections due to common hometowns, being together in hostel, something. I don’t know when or how the five of us connected, but it was one of the best things to happen. 
  • ACJ is done. The year went by too quickly, a flurry of activity and assignments that ended far too abruptly. There was no closure, just a sudden parting of ways.
  • The next two months are going to be incredibly boring. True, I’m leaving at the end of May, but there really aren’t too many people in Chennai right now. Two days of it and it’s already driven me crazy.
  • I need to do something about my writing.
  • I want to watch movies.
  • The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is incredibly good and very difficult to watch. The entire time, you’re chanting oh-god-don’t-do-it because you know how it must end. Thank you, elsidd.
  •  I also, oddly enough, loved Burn After Reading. It was disjointed and confusing but it was awesome.
  • The song that I’ve used for the title is one of my favourites. I’m going back to the Foo Fighters days of my youth.
  • This is my 150th post and I have nothing special to say. Which depresses me. 

Title Source: Let It Die by Foo Fighters

Congratulations on post 150! May you have a hundred sons.

I thought The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was a book.
I loved Burn After Reading the first time I watched it, but the second time I noticed a lot of flaws.

Kaushik

P.S. I’m in Chennai.

Did you just delete a post?

Cheshire Cat? Where did that come from?

Striped Pyjamas is a book, I just watched the movie. Probably should’ve explained that. And I will probably never watch Burn After Reading again, so I need not fear.

We shall meet in the merry month of May.

Argh how do you ALWAYS notice? Yes I did. The font and colour were annoying me so I had to.

Jaich, please lets start a blog on kewalram. pls pls pls. N sorry abt the irrelavance to the post:))

yeah. i think the worst thing abt time at ACJ ending is the lack of a closure. i mean, it feels so weird. especially, the tv guys… left so abruptly. now everyone’s gone!

i am leading a sad life too, in the holidays! sheesh! after acj, i don’t know what to do with my holidays anymore!

@ kishore – ok cool! i’m in like flynn, as they say. though i can’t remember who ‘they’ is. or are.

@ priti – i know! never had like a “final” class in the lecture hall, or at least not consciously. got the convocation invite today. can’t believe it’s ended so quickly.

err, something to do with a guy named flynn who could get women into bed easily:) not a good phrase to use in this context;) anyways, blogger or wordpress? and congrats on your job good for you!

and if it’s wordpress, be honoured to do the basic template and we’ll mail them people admin thingys.

“The earliest recorded use of the phrase is in a December 1946 edition of American Speech:

“In like Flynn, everything is O.K. In other words, the pilot is having no more trouble than Errol Flynn has in his cinematic feats.”

That doesn’t have the sexual connotations that the phrase acquired later.”

ha! still didn’t use it right but at least it isn’t necessarily sexual. :)

wordpress only! nicer than blogger. who all? my sister, divya, michelle, jon, vaibhav, cheenu. then?

haha, i gave you the most controversial usage.
Divya, wont write,will try encouraging her. Michelle should somehow convince. Last i heard, she’s interning and not sleeping much:-) cheenu in, and ammu too. hmmm that’s about it.

hey positivity?…a cool new world awaits you :)

I know exactly what you mean when you say ACJ had no closure.
Was mulling over it myself for a lot of days. It was just too…abrupt. One moment we were there, the next, we were parting ways and saying goodbyes. Sad. :(

@ kishore – what about jonathan? i don’t think my sister will do much but i can try nagging her.

@ nisha – hooray for hyderabad!

@ SG – *hugs* back!

@ pranav – exactly! i’m hoping convocation will allow for some sort of closure but somehow i doubt it. considering that over half the batch won’t be attending it anyway. :(

jonny boi will write, i’ll make him write. cheenu we shall mail and tell her. Then she can mail her brother. We can get anyone to write.. Provided we do start:P Tell you what, do the basic template and mail me with instructions. Then i shall forward the mail to jon and others, you contact nidhi. ok with you?

I have read the Boy in the Striped Pyjama. It simply ends, all to sudden. I love the chemistry between the two boys though. Didn’t even know there was a movie. I will surely watch it.

@ kishore – what nonsense, how come i get all the work! but okay cool. in the next week or so, the blog will be up and running!

@ kapil – i really want to read the book! i’m sure it’s better than the movie, simply cos things always work out that way, but the movie is very gripping. download it, torrents are available everywhere.
