| | ...and there it was!

I was wearing my new loose khakhi shorts...shorts bolke they are so long that they can be mistaken as full length trousers :)

on and off...over the last couple of weeks, we had been trying to make plans to go see "the village". With flicks like sixth sense, unbreakable and signs under his belt, we were expecting shyamlan to churn out another scary classic this time too.

4 of us, with a lot of courage and lot of planning finally left for the movie place at 10. To add to the scary feel of the movie, there were only bout 10 ppl in a 200 odd seater. We took the precautionary "pee trip" before entering the theatre - u know just in case:). The movie started off with a vague and mystic feel to it with dialogues like "Let the bad color not be seen, it attracts them" and instances where small pets' skins are peeled of thier bodies and left to rot in the village, this seemed like a real creepy movie. But eventually it lost all the creepiness and became one big love story :(. I realised that it was infact a love story packaged as a thriller and presented in a different way. So THAT was a disappointment, cause jaana tha japan pahunch gaye cheen type scene happened.

That apart, i guess it was a really well directed movie, which had us on the edge of the seats. Some scenes catch u by surprise, and its the timing more than anything else that had us interested in the movie all through. The highlight of the movie has to be "Ivy walker" - simply beautiful.

That done - we came back home, all satisfied and i was happily yapping on the phone when i realised that my back pocket felt a little lighter than usual. I realised that my wallet had slipped out somewhere out of my shorts....damn! Apart from a couple of quarters (not too much money that) i had some 100 credit cards, my debit card, school ID, state ID/drivers license, metro trip card, 2 kadak one rupee notes (really imp those) and a couple of other really really irreplacable things in there. We went back to the theatre at like 1 in the night, luckily the doors were open cause some of the others shows were still going on, and our screen was open too. After a 5 minute desperate search under some seats i finally saw it - lying there aaram se, as if nothing had ever happened.

- saved me a lot of discomfort and inconvinience, but one thing i know - next time i am chaining my wallet to my....err pocket when i wear those shorts.

| | Phew !!

All that i can see on any major indian news portals are stories about the nafisa joseph suicide. Its really a very sad thing to happen and that too coming from a beautiful, intelligent, headstrong, career oriented woman. Someone who excelled in everything she tried, was she so weak to give it all up in that one moment? I still remember the time i saw her at the airport about 2 years back, she came across as a stunningly beautiful, confident and self assured girl. Bishop Cotton School, used to send one of the best teams for the BQC and i guess they won the contest 2 times, and being school captain there is no mean task.

Does being unlucky in love (4 times at that), or say failing in the board exams, or being unsuccessful at ur workplace be reason enough to drive you to a point where u can actually take your own life? I really wonder what a feeling that would be, when u can give up everything that you have done, everything that u ever stood for, everyone who ever cared for you- in one moment, just like that.

I guess ones own life has to be the single most precious thing for everyone, most of us can do anything or go to any extent to ensure safety to our lives. Attempted suicides is another thing altogether. Some ppl attempt that just as a way of attracting attention, altough deep down inside there is always the fear of death and its aftermath - so unlike what others say, she had to be really strong and bull headed to go ahead and actually take her own life.
