Batman: The Dark Knight



Yesterday we watched the new batman movie. It was on my the hot list for several reasons. First of all for Heath Ledger and Cristian Bale. All my friends who have seen the movie earlier, their reaction was like, "Gooo-ooh-ood". I did not like the earlier Batman movies that much. 'Batman Begins' was ok, but not something extra-ordinary. After watching this one, I have to say, this is something extra-ordinary. Ledger was top of the class, and Bale was perfect fit for the batman. But all i can think is Ledger is gone. Its hard to get the fact the guy is dead. I liked him when I saw the movie 'Ten Things I Hate About You'. He was not that kind of actor who only has a pretty face.


Today I had the chance to read the reviews at rottentomato.com. Its absolutely amazing. It also turns out the long lasting number 1 in imdb is no longer 'Godfather', the place is claimed by this movie. Maybe its because for the hype/softness for the late actor. Lets see for how long it can hold the first place. All the top newspapers also had similar kind of review. They also stated that Ledger might get the academy award for his role as the joker.

Dripping Experience in Bangalore

Today me and quazi both went for shopping. Actually its not shopping, better would be if I say, roaming around in the shopping malls and if any shop on sale, then have a look on those shops. We do it on almost every weekends. But the experience of today was a little bit different. It was raining. First it was drizzling. So we got stuck in the mall. Decided we will move as soon as it stops raining. But to our utter disappointment the rain just got better. Thought what the hell, its not going to stop anyway, lets go out. I have done this a lot of times in dhaka, but never in bangalore. It was good. And just got better when we had hot coffee at the barista. Long live rainy days, long live hot coffees.

Trimmed my hair

Two weeks back I trimmed my hair. Although I actually wanted to shave it, then settled in trimming. Everyone who knows me, knows this fact that I don't give a damn about how I look. So I don't want to describe how I look after that. Later sometime I may upload few photos. The facts I discovered, Trimming is actually better. You don't have to comb your hair (I never do it anyway). You don't have to shampoo that frequently. If you have hair falling problem just like me, then this helps a lot. Only problem is it doesn't feel scratching as it felt earlier. And you can't grasp your hair when you are thinking too much (or pretending to think deeply when you are feeling awkward).

Thoughts on 24/7 News Channels

Recently I observed something that really annoyed me. Every single news channel, at least in India never shows any good news. Its like every thing happening in the world in bad, something horrible or all weird news only. I asked some of my colleagues about this. Almost all of them said that they also noticed this. Some of them argued its for the best of us. People are getting more conscious. They are taking more protective measure. I just wonder how this will impact the day to day life of a normal healthy kid, to whom this world is just a heaven. Aren't we turning this to a hell to them?
My point is, besides all those horrifying news or events, there are lot more things happening in this world, really beautiful. Please, highlight them also. Surely those will cheer up all of us. Please do this for the kids. Don't make their world into a nightmare. Let it be as beautiful as it is now.
