Idle Musings...: Pink birdie in the sky!

http://manasi-idlemusings.blogspot.com/2013/03/pink-birdie-in-sky.html

Sunday, March 24, 2013. Pink birdie in the sky! I just found this post, written over a year ago. Wonder why I never published it. Have you noticed, how when someone tells you about something, their excited tone can mask the most dangerous bits of information? Its fun to bunjee jump! Of course, you might get a headache or a heart attack while doing it, but dude, its so much fun to just let go and jump off and see the ground rushing towards you! Out of this world! Something similar happened to me. So yeah,...

Idle Musings...: Zindagi Na Milega Dobara

http://manasi-idlemusings.blogspot.com/2011/08/zindagi-na-milega-dobara.html

Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Zindagi Na Milega Dobara. I feel like I've been waiting to write this review since ages. Let's not forget the FR: Liked it at a lot of levels, and it moved me too, but didn't touch me. With every silly prank they indulge in, and every crazy sport they survive through, the friends grow closer, rediscovering each other, and reconsidering decisions that they thought were fixed. Kabir finds his girlfriend changing completely, while Arjun wonders whether making money really makes ...

Idle Musings...: The paratha paradox

http://manasi-idlemusings.blogspot.com/2011/11/paratha-paradox.html

Saturday, November 19, 2011. I love parathas. They're roti and subzee mixed all-in-one! You can just roll them up and be done with dinner in a few bites. Or lunch. I mean, alu parathas are heavy, I assumed they're best for a good heavy lunch. Boy was I wrong! Plus if you ask any waiter or a street vendor for one, they look at you as if you've come from outer space. "Paratha toh sirf dus baje tak milta hai madam.".

Idle Musings...: In the blink of an eye

http://manasi-idlemusings.blogspot.com/2012/08/in-blink-of-eye.html

Wednesday, August 15, 2012. In the blink of an eye. Why is it that something we've been looking forward to for ages, rushes by in a blink of an eye? The wait is unbearable. We plan a 1,000 things, imagine a million things that could go right and wrong. Tear ourselves up with anticipation and pray that everything goes well. But you blink, and suddenly its all over. And you are just left with memories of what happened. Did it really happen? Its really happening and perha give myself a pinch. Click On Link ...

Idle Musings...: Rockstar.. Yeah right!!!

http://manasi-idlemusings.blogspot.com/2011/11/patthar-ka-sitara-urfa-rockstar.html

Thursday, November 17, 2011. Rockstar. Yeah right! You know you've come for a terrible movie when:. 1) You wonder when the movie is going to get over and realize that the interval is not here yet. 2) You want to kill the reviewer who gave the movie 4 stars when he should have actually given half. 3) You thank God you reached twenty minutes late and missed the beginning of a pointless movie, the plot of which was much better shown in its two minute trailer. Second, the editing is terrible. I once hear...

Idle Musings...: May 2011

http://manasi-idlemusings.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, May 22, 2011. Colouring therapy - it's a thing! My first birthday gift has made it's way home and I've been busy trying to make good use of it. I got 3 colouring books, 2 sets of sketch pens, 1 set of colour pencils and a large box of crayons. No, this account hasn't been hacked by an 8 year old. I just love colouring. How old am I? I'll say :P and also inform you that colouring therapy. That too requires the ability to draw! So, anybody sweet enough to ask me "What gift do you want? The first th...

Idle Musings...: July 2011

http://manasi-idlemusings.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 14, 2011. Oh God, not again. I was merrily shopping in a mall in Delhi when my friend got an SMS. Terror attack in Mumbai. Red alert in Delhi". At first I didn't comprehend what she said. Terror attack? That too in Mumbai. Not again, I thought. It's so unfair. I mean haven't the people there suffered enough? And moreover, this time the target hit close to home. What was once home. Dadar. Which gave me a tiny ray of hope. While much has been said about Mumbai's resilience, I think this is a...

Idle Musings...: I am....

http://manasi-idlemusings.blogspot.com/2011/08/i-am.html

Friday, August 5, 2011. I bring a smile to your face,. When I ruffle your hair,. You can only feel me,. As you close your eyes,. And dream of hot summers and warm breezes,. Or wish for cool winters,. I accompany you in all seasons,. In all moments, on all occasions,. But then I disappear,. And the leaves don't breathe,. The stillness dulls you,. It aches in you, throbs in you,. So you build a high wall,. To capture me the next time I come around,. I resist once,. I resist twice,. I break your wall,.

Idle Musings...: Blinds...

http://manasi-idlemusings.blogspot.com/2009/10/blinds.html

Monday, October 26, 2009. Coming from very lonely places, all of us go a little mad. We have been where no one else is, been awake when the entire world is sleeping. Its a world we feel that only we've seen.". Do we become a bit isolated? Do we purposely isolate ourselves from the people we know, people we idolize, people we care about, people we hate? It's like a sudden awakening. Like saying a word over and over again till it loses its meaning. Something changes, irrevocably. You've just got 1 life.
