Discovering an Old Hobby!!
I am planning to re-discover my old hobby of story-writing again. I have been getting lots of interesting ideas and havent read a single novel for more than a year now. So the influences of other writers will be to the least levels. My friends who have read my old works have been more than encouraging (hehehehehe! they know the truth!! ;) .). But to them i tell, this time the story line is really much developed. I hope this one comes out alright.
Who knows? i might post it on the blog someday!!!

Excellent movies 1. Apocalypse Now
Apocalypse Now is an amazing movie to say the least. The movie by Coppola won 2 Oscars. The world's best actor EVER - Marlon Brando stars (and i mean it STARS) in this movie. He is supported by Duvall and Ford. A wonderful work from Sheen.
Sheen portrays the character of a soldier who feels more at peace in the jungles of Vietnam than outside. He also plays the narrator of the story. He is given a very important mission. He tracks the life of Brando - a colonel who has gone insane due to the war. The movie shows how an exemplary soldier and man of great regard could stoop to such lows in a war.
The movie is shot in great locations that give more eerie touch to the movie. Brando lives and breathes as the insane colonel, who knows he has gone beyond all help. Duvall plays a maverick Lt colonel who loves his men, hates the war, but still wants to enjoy even if it means taking highest risks. Even though i have told most abt the movie, it is an absolute treat to watch.

Taking control!!
Hi all,
It is an understatement to say it has been long time. A lot of things were happening, a lot of stuff to think over. Who am i kidding, it is just me, as always, procrastinating. 'Nothing new', as those who know me would put it. This is the inertia that i have picked up in IIT. IIT life is soo good that i enjoyed it soo much, or over enjoyed it. It made me very lazy, i put on lots of weight, did absolutely no work. Had i taken control of my life in those two years, who knows, eh? But i dont want to sit back and regret what i did. What happened was supposed to happen and so here i am.
I had been leading a lethargic life, and i have been reluctant to shrug it off my shoulders. And this lifestyle causes trouble in many ways, as they did for me. And now for the last fortnight i have been trying to do things differently. It looks like I might be able to get things together!! Yay!!
I hope to come back to active blogging soon. My research seems to come together. Keeping fingers crossed.
Will be back in full swing soon, fellas.
Fasten your seat belts!!!
Ciao
