Was wondering when my next post would be. Found the perfect topic. One of the very few movies I have seen countless times and would like too see again and again; Gladiator :)
Saw the movie for the first time when I was at home. Kept watching it over and over. My father was almost as hooked to the movie as myself. There was where I found my perfect homeland. The place where he reaches at last; with his beautiful wife and so cute son waiting for him. Maybe heroes do not need heroines; maybe all that they need are normal human beings like me who would tie them down to the earth, show them the normal world where they can live their normal lives :)
The one dialogue I loved the best was "....father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife.." And also loved the way they were not portraying the Princess as a bad woman for having loved him and for being loved by him. After all it was natural, was it not;worshiping and loving a great man..

Mind reading
I really don't know how much of the term mind reading is true. Is it possible to read another person's mind or heart completely? The reason I got into this line of thought is that my room mate asked me if I was bothered by something. It was very very much on time that she asked that particular question. Because I am not at peace right now. A very complicated thing that I am in the midst of takes away all my mental peace.
We have been room mates for more than 3 years now, and have seen each other almost every day. Would that enable her to read the hormonal changes, the emotional changes and the mental changes in me? Would that help me "read" her?
Truth is I haven't really tried to understand this crackpot lady. She is almost as mental as I myself am; which is saying a lot. But I can very well understand when my nearest ones are angry with me and why. Maybe that is not all that uncommon, but my hunches are seldom wrong.
Even when it comes to boy friends, I can almost perfectly assess the reasons behind almost every change in his mood and almost every of his actions.
So is this "mind reading" or a simple exercise some of us can effectively give the brain? Is there anything supernatural involved in it?

Rain
I have the habit of going out on walks. I love to walk in the evening. After the dusk is the ideal time, but then after dusk is a little dangerous.
So I went out on my walk today and got caught up in a rain. Our campus is quite big and it is a pleasure to take a walk if u have an mp3 or an i pod. I had just my cell and my i-pod with me.
So I got caught up in this rain which seemed never ending. As a matter of fact, I am really not sure when it ended.
I also have this habit of guessing the age of rains. My dad and me, we played this game this summer. This particular rain looked like a woman in her 30s with a lot of ambitions. But I had this feeling that she was tied down by something or someone. She would just gush up and fall fast. Then again there were the temper tantrums :D
Enough about this rain
Will tell u the story of another when I come next

Thursday
Why do I get irritated by people so soon! And why do I have this kind of mood swings.. Posting something online may not be safe. But I do it with the intention of telling some other person like me; "Look, u are not alone"
It is a dreadful feeling, being lonely. Once I attended a counseling held by my school authorities before the 10th Board Exams. There is one line that struck me then and stays in my mind "Lonely is when u r in a crowd, in the midst of ur friends and u still feel a lingering pain on being alone in this world". Wonder how many people feel that. I have, many times. The world is a cruel place as it is. All the competition and race leaves u breathless and that is when your best friend feels like ditching you. Or worse, punch u in the stomach. The pain of the hurt in the heart would be much much more than the physical pain.
My nearest friend was supposed to meet me online today. She is not here yet. Chances are that she has conveniently forgotten about our chat-date. After all, she is busy with her boy friend and stuff
Later unknown stranger..

I wish I could run away. Just run, run and run. As fast as I can and as far. I really am no good for the society. I am not talking about the “I am not good for the society” rubbish. I don’t care. It is just that this society is suffocating me. It is just stifling. All the stupid rules and regulations and all the bloody boring ideas of etiquette.
I have had enough of the people around me. I wish I could just disappear for good and never come back. Maybe just step into another dimension. Wish that was possible. And when I step into the other dimension, all m 22 years worth memories should be erased both from my mind and other’s.
Would that be possible? Don’t think so. All I can do is imagine and have fun with my imaginations. I dot even wish for the ‘pleasures of the flesh’ as they term it. Maybe I do, but I haven’t found the Mr. Right yet. Don’t you think that sex is better done with the guy u know is right for you? Well, God knows! Or whatever!!
My Kitty Cat is looking at me amusedly ;) Ah she even shakes her ears. Maybe she’ll answer all the multitude of questions I have, some day..

Thesis
I was thinking of the possible topics for my MA dissertation. I am interested in a comparitive study between the Nair society and the Matrilineal society in olden Japan. Have no idea to what extent I can draw parallels. Got inspired while listening to my senior in a seminar.
What I am really and truly interested in is the marumakkathayam system. But I am not really sure if a parallel existed in Japan.
I started reading on the matriarchal system in Japan and Kerala and it was a real result less work. Maybe because I just started reading.. Hope I can see the light in the near future

What do people prefer to do on a rainy day when there is no electricity? Have always wondered and found no answers. I personally would love to read a book with a cup of nice hot coffee with me.
But what if that gets boring?
What if you find that you cannot find a nice book, or worse, coffee!
Just a warning to thee wanderer who dares to cross into my blog; you'll find a lot of jottings in here. And on a lot of unconnected topics too. So for those who'd ever stumble across into my blog; please expect all the order and reason you might find in a railway station. A railway station because there you find hordes of people coming and going.
Aah anyway, ciao :)
