Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows -1

Just back from watching HP7 ... My take on it...

Nice effects...the movie was quite close to the books but still quite a bit left out....

Not as good as the previous movies in my opinion..., The film dragged at places, the actors looked stiff in some parts....

never emotionally connected with the characters unlike the earlier ones.....

Somehow Voldemort and his death eaters especially at the Malfoy Manor didn't seem scary enough....

But loved the wand fights...and the scene at the ministry where the Golden Trio use polyjuice potion and also the scene of  8 Potters...

All in all it was an okay watch....hoping the finale is more gripping...

My Widgets Love

My blogging journey has brought out the kid in the candy store/toy store in me....the reason : my fascination for widgets/gadgets.

I keep adding, modifying and discarding them right and left...Sadly this spree also has heartbreak moments ...

Like saying adios to Darth Vader and Aristotle quotes as they slowed down my page.... so much so that even I had to spend many blank, anxious moments before my page loaded...giving up Sudoku was hard for an game addict like me but I spent more time on solving it than typing useful (??? who am I kidding) words...

But some stayed on like old friends who never quite exit from our lives....some ego boosting that show how much we are liked...some that tell the world that happens to peep in, what we believe in....

All in all they make up our blog as much as personal input does...

Its takes just a jiffy to admire those creative souls who make the job of presenting an aesthetically pleasing blog into " the blog art for dummies" .

And me...I am off to add a bookshelf to my story blog...... ;D

The Young Teacher

                                                           

What is it about kids that makes us multifaceted and multitasking...recently I have become a horse, a dog, an elephant, Nemo even Sher khan (jungle book)  with sword fighting (read cricket bats) skills..
I have turned composer, on the spot story teller, walking talking dictionary...one swear word like shit and hell breaks loose...wonder if anyone knows the joys of being reprimanded by a 3 year old....
All in all , sometimes I feel I am back in school and at times like a 3 year old myself with fancy tricks up my sleeve....

Kind Souls

I journeyed forth,

ploughing through words...

Never contemplating,

but paused here and there,

wondering If I dared  

to bare the chaos 

that is my mind.

Kind souls won't let me flounder,

keep me afloat...

through the tides of convenience.

Make it meaningful...

Every fork end of tales I reach

These roads and forks traversed,

alone I started 

but not any more...

Kind souls won't let me flounder,

keep me afloat...

through the tides of convenience.

Make it meaningful...

(To all those who have been with me as my walk progresses....)

Festivals And Holidays

Funny, its was Halloween in One part of the world last week and it will be festival of lights in another part this week....
Diwali is fond memories....waking up before dawn to burst crackers...new clothes that we paraded in...sweets gorged to the point of tummy aches...visitors galore...
those fun filled days are lost somewhere...
As I pass by the busy shoppers , the shops and malls.....it didn't feel good yet.....not till I booked for a family vacation....
Now I am truly in the holiday mood... off gallivanting ....
See you all in three weeks time...
by the way....don't forget my existence....


Like Arnie, I WILL BE BACK.......

Left Behind

You were my everything,

I meant nothing to you.

You smiled at new faces,

reaching over for a firm handshake.

A curt nod of the head

and a frown was all I got.

You spoke and laughed

with the ones  you had barely met.

An unwilling hello was all you spared

for each one of my efforts.

You dined and wined 

 with the best I could see.

As I watched seated

far away from you.

You were everything to me,

I meant nothing to you.

Soon it was time to walk away,

  I was the one left behind

to find my own way back,

as has always been the case.

I stood there in the rain,

with tears tumbling down my face.

wondering when all those dreams

had slipped away beyond my grasp.

You were everything to me,

I meant nothing to you.

Adrift

A love so strong 

how could it be

so wrong.

You were divine,

meant to be mine.

summer's grace

that was your face.

Flashing meadows,

gushing tides,

your laughter filling up

every site.

Felt you 

in my arms,

felt you

in my soul.

A love so strong 

how could it be

so wrong.

Come back, 

come back from

from the void

 you have gone to.

Take me, 

take me back

to the time

I was before.

A love so strong 

how could it be

so wrong.
