Show-off!

*Mom 3 O'clock ka alarm please*
*Ok, what time is it now?*
*9.30*

A routine conversation between My Mom and Me. Correction... It WAS A routine conversation between My Mom and Me in the last week of March. Reason: My Examinations were going on and for some reason I had to actually study hard for almost all my subjects! Phew... Finally it was over and I had Five thousand plans in my mind about how my vacations are supposed to be spent... As usual nothing actually materialized except for the Gymming thing that has gotten into me(Don't expect any difference in my biceps, this was just plain show-off)...
A certain hangover kind of feeling I wake up with almost everyday of my vacations, Which makes me go,"No wonder I am always on time for the rest of the year!" I finish my quota of sleep in the vacations... Sleeping late and waking up late is the only thing which makes me think that I have something called a vacation. But there is something very good about the silent night that is every night, even if One isn't asleep, he certainly doesn't find himself in A sleep or die situation. On the other hand, its not the same with the day, although there is commotion and the real world works, plays, gets entertained, earn a living, have a life, etc etc... It is very difficult to while it away.. So the best way is to be awake in the night wondering why hasn't the cell phone vibrated yet or wondering what status should I update in the morning or which must be my lucky number today or randomest of all... What is my Gym instructors name(Show-off again) etc etc... and in the day, well... let others make hay while the sun shines, I'd rather sleep!
Btw, reminded by show-off, I have got a new habit, A bad habit of watching at least one movie every week... Starting from April Week 2 release Prince followed by Paathshala suceeded by City Of Gold, Bounty Hunter, How to train your Dragon 3D and the latest Housefull... All of them, except for Housefull and How to train Your Dragon 3D, were Shows Off... Meaning, they were all running succesful to empty theatres! Which reminds of a dialogues from Zoya Akhtar directed Luck By Chance, 'Wahan pe Content is King, Hum aapki industry me yeh culture laana chahte hain' I think it was a "karara vyang" on Bollywood, which is changing its ways of Cinema, by forgetting that the main reason why a movie would work at the Box office is A story! Most makers have become pretty bold, I mean, The most dullest season at the Box Office every year for Movies was either the Exam season or The Cricket season, In spite of both the seasons together this year, Bollywood had as many as 12 movie releases in the Month of April... No body is scared of Competition Just because Jannat and Biwi No.1 worked during a Cricket season! Anyways am No Taran Adarsh or Rajeev Masand to comment on it, but it hurts to see the industry which I respect for its stature, bleeding because of its own mistakes! Nevertheless, being a Very Optimistic person, I would expect Badmaash Company, Kites, Raajneeti and Raavan to not dissapoint the audiences! Though Housefull is a relief to the industry, may be just the start.. Expecting the best...
Watching Movies at The theatres is still a luxury which is not meant to be fulfilled everyday, but there is always a need for recreation, and what I do with it is.... Gym! Yes, I am a frequent visitor of that place where according to me, "No pain, No gain" the famous saying was first said. Must have been a Very motivating Trainer who came up with this one. But just because I go to the Gym doesn't mean I shoud Carry! LOL( A very old one, must've sounded familiar) Hmph.. My Mehnat in the Gym will not stop anytime soon, but my Mehnat on the keyboard should stop by now, Beacuse I am Guilty conscious about writing a L-O-N-G note on no specific topic... One thing I will always be in pursuit of, is a writable topic and not just random thoughts that I almost every time just compile!
