Mind to me: I'm taking a vacation



And it left.
Leaving me in the beautiful month of October with nothing to write about.

That's right!
In addition to being lost and confused (which is my general state of mind), I'm also blank! (And this is new because I generally have something to say about everything.)

Notice how I have more text in brackets than the actual blog post.
So I start saying something and I have more side thoughts than the actual thoughts. That ever happen to you? Always happens to me.

My point being, for someone with so many thoughts, to go blank is something new. 

Finally, when I did sit down to write today, this is what I was doing:











When this is what I should've been doing:














Again, point being, I have no peg for my stories and I'm seriously scraping the bottom of an empty barrel (read mind) for ideas.

In case you did make it through the entire post, please feel free to drop in your suggestions!
They're always welcome :)

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

This is a fresh out of the oven type thing. The film hasn't even finished running credits as I write this piece. That's how compelled I felt to write about this movie. There's so much to be said and yet so little that was. I'm truly astounded by Ben Stiller's take on something so mundane as a closet-hero seeking something more from his life. Walter Mitty is no one but he's everyone. Every one of us who wants to go out there, do something we've never done before, look outside of our comfort zone - but we don't. Because we're too caught up in our own little web of things. Believe you me, when I say, I didn't know what I was watching, for the first hour. Was he searching for his boss? Did he find himself during the course of his journey? What's he doing? Why? My mind was full of questions. But I didn't stop to think. Not once. I was so engrossed, so zapped. The story telling is so unique. Or I haven't seen something like this

Man of Steel: Superman reinvented

Image
Superman is my favorite superhero. And I can't say I've been happy with the way he's been depicted in the movies made till date. I mean cocky with a wry sense of humor is great, and works really well with the ladies too, but somewhere down the line I believe Superman stopped being taken seriously. Could be because of that glued hairstyle with just one curl on the forehead (which not once fell out of place, no matter how much he flew around the stratosphere) or the famous red briefs over the blue suit. Photo: Google images But all that changed with Man of Steel. The curl and the red briefs are gone as the superhero dawns a new avatar. And I don't think it has anything to do with the new face of Superman - Henry Cavill (drool!) - or his elaborate background story. I think it was more about Christopher Nolan and his vision of Superman. After Inception, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, we believe in the genius of Christopher Nolan. But unfortunately, that e

When art meets food. But why?

Image
It is the age where not only do your looks count, even how your food looks counts (for something I don't know either). I don't recall ever saying food was 'gorgeous' before Gary, George and Matt (of Masterchef Australia fame) waltzed right into my living room and introduced me to the new food vocab. Masterchef Australia - They're here & they're hungry! First up, it's odd that we watch a show that is culturally so different from ours. Then, we watch people cook dishes with ingredients we don't even consider 'food' in the first place (pheasant, quail eggs, squid ink et al.) We watch their top chefs drool and praise the food and feel good about it (can't say why). And we immerse ourselves in their 'oohs & aahs' and indulge in some desi version of comfort food while watching them cook on TV! Adriano Zumbo with his creation - The Macaroon Tower Yes, ridiculous I know. But I do it too! There's something so add
