I've seen two movies this week.. And I've decided to give my honest and unbiased views on them.
HARRY POTTER 6
The biggest let down ever. I mean, you go to the theater expecting
a) loads of action (hello, there's a war at the end of the book) : you are sadly disappointed.. No war, no fighting, nothing exciting, nothing as fast as lightning.. Even the Sectumsempra curse fell flat on its face like Harry (I know Malfoy is supposed to fall flat on his face, but his acting is pretty good)..
b) good chemistry between Harry and Ginny : its sad. Daniel Radcliffe CANNOT kiss to save his life.. I mean, they should have re-taken the entire scene again and again and again until he got it right..
Rad made it so sad,
it made me want to go mad
and do something bad
to the lad next to my dad..
c) awesome special effects: nope.. Hardly anything worth mentioning here. Ok, the first scene where the camera follows the Death Eaters around London is pretty cool, but apart from that, there's hardly anything..
d) a good looking young Lord Voldemort: Oh God.. He looks okay-okay.. Nothing great, no hints of the hunk of a guy that he's supposed to be, no drop dead gorgeous looks, no drool worthy smile, no handsome features..
e) loads of stuff about Horcruxes: nope, absolutely nothing at all.. I mean, they use that word thrice in the movie (Hello, its supposed to be the central thing in the movie)..
On the whole, its a complete let down....
ICE AGE 3 (3D)
Now this is a movie you can watch more than once! Sid, Diego and Manny (along with the rodent) make you almost fall of your chair laughing.. Euphemisms, wise cracks, comments - you name it, the movie has it.. Not to mention Buck, a new Brit character who lives in the world of dinosaurs!
I will not divulge too much and take away all your fun. My thoughts are : watch it, and if you feel the need of some company, I'm right here!!!

Reason to Smile
Until today, for the past one week or so I haven't had any reason to smile.. No reason to exercise any of the eighteen muscles responsible for it.. However 2 days back (i.e. the 15th) and today gave me reasons to smile..
15th.. My, what an awesomely amazing day.. Have you ever had a dream and then suddenly had it fulfilled without any expectations of it happening? Well, that happened to me the day before..
I've always dreamed of holding a Les Paul (playing it was a distant dream!).. I've dreamed of singing for a band.. I've dreamed of playing the drums.. I've dreamed of singing like Axl Rose on a mic along with the amazing guitar riffs that go with Sweet Child 'O Mine..Well, Wednesday fulfilled all these dreams :) I went to a friend's place as it was a common friend's birthday.. As I entered his bedroom, the first thing that caught my eye (apart from Slash's poster on his wall) was the fact that his room looked like a mini studio - with a drum kit, mics, amplifiers and electric and acoustic guitars.. I thought I had walked into my favourite fantasy.. I played on a Les Paul electric guitar.. I sang like Axl Rose..
I played on the drums.. I was the lead singer for a couple of songs!!! I was on top of the world.. I didn't want the day to come to an end.. Though it did, I still get shivers running down my spine every time I think of holding the solid, heavy, golden brown Les Paul.. *sigh* And after that we sat discussing what guys do when they have crushes and what girls do in the same situation: What do we think, What do we feel, Why does it matter so much of that person phones, Why is he giving me his/her phone number, How do I ask?, Does she/he think of me in that way?, Why did they say that?, What are they thinking?, Do they know I like them?.... It was fun analysing and dissecting the various thought processes that plague the minds of those who have recently fallen for someone... :)
Today I smiled because I got to talk to a person I cherish and value a whole lot.. I got to talk to that person after nearly ten days.. It felt good, it made me feel complete, and most importantly, it made me smile.. :)
Anyhow, I have to face the rest of the days without having miracles like this to brighten up my day.. I have to face the music (yeah right) and the harsh reality, the reality that my life isn't going anywhere, and that I'm going to be stuck at my home for the next month or so (I hope I get the news that it isn't going to be for longer than that, soon)..
Oh well, two days out of ten isn't that bad.. 20% is something to be cheerful about (yeah right)

Statutory Warning
The Before Pic:
They should probably put a statutory warning on stilettos.. I mean, seriously.. Do you know they can kill? Or cause temporary paralysis? Or that they can actually make you wish you didn't have ankles??
I made the huge mistake of wearing stilettos and roaming about in malls (note the plural). Good grief! At first me and a friend of mine were pretty proud of ourselves, we were walking without tripping, and we were walking like models and looked pretty tall and hot and awesome! Heads were turning, some were even gaping!! We were strutting our stuff!!! But then after a while, it started hurting. Ok, at that point of time it was nothing that we couldn't handle. But then a little while later, it was excruciating, seriously. Horrid- is the only word I can use to describe the experience of walking around in a mall in heels (3.5" ones that too)..
After a while we both realised that there was absolutely no point in walking around and slowly killing ourselves. So we removed the heels and walked around in the mall BAREFEET!!!! We entered Anita Dongre's (AND) store barefeet, we went to a shoe shop bare feet, we even left the mall and caught an auto with no slippers on!! At that point we didn't give a damn as to who saw us and what they were thinking.. All we could think of was how comfortable a flat surface felt, against the hot soles of our feet which had been kept at an incline of at least 45 degrees!!
Anyhow, right now I'm massaging my sore feet with ice cubes, and tending to several shoe bites on the soles of my feet.
Statutory warning - Wear At Your Own Risk, User's Discretion Is Advised.. Until and unless you are only going to sit, or maybe stand for a while, do not, I repeat, DO NOT wear stilettos. They can make you wish you didn't have feet at all...
Trust me
