I really and badly miss my cell. It was a black Nokia 3110, a gift from my Uncle. It was perhaps the first gift he gave me and the stupid girl I am; I lost it.. :(
This is not the first time either. I lost four cells before this, in a short period of four years. But not one of them was as dear to me as this one. It was so cute and was so much a part of me. I am jinxed with cells, I am sure now. Hope this jinx gets removed asap
Bye bye

Hiya!
What did u think the title meant? A greeting? Well, u are not far from the truth. It was a greeting; for a battle. You know, the kind u see in action movies with the "Lee" khandan ;)
So, about today's topic, hehe, it is gonna be a movie I watched some days back: "When Harry met Sally". This was supposed to be a cool romantic comedy that would tickle you. But then you see, I never bothered to get it from someone or even download it because it is an old movie. I tried seeing it once 2 years ago and stopped without a second thought because:
1) the print was bad
2) too too old settings
But it is true that you grow up with time :p I did and finally could enjoy the movie :)
It is about this couple of strangers (everyone is a stranger at one point or another, dont u think?) who meet immediately after college and drive a long way to New York. I do not remember the name of the actor who played Harry; but Sally was Meg Ryan. The guy is a complete jerk, in contrast with the typical cool, handsome and chivalrous prince a girl dreams of. A complete ass who thinks that he is deep just because he thinks about death; duh! (then I would be a real deep person too. The best thing that could happen to me is dying asap without pain and I waste a lot of time fantasising that :D )
Our dear Sally and Harry part ways in NY to meet again in 6 years. Here again he manages to drive her insanely angry just by being his charming self. She shakes him off. They both get involved with other people at different levels of involvement; he gets married and she goes for a live in relationship. They meet four years later to find themselves single again. They become friends, lovers, enemies and then spice (the plural for spouse)
The movie has one of the best proposal lines: "When you realize that you want to spend the rest of your lives with someone, you want the rest of your life to begin as soon as possible"
So long..

Narnia
Ok, so I was reading this article about Narnia online. About the series Chronicles of Narnia which is better known as a movie series than a book series. But u know what, reading the criticisms actually made me angry. Why, for instance do people have to prod into a book and extract meanings out of things that the author never meant a meaning in! Why should Lewis be a woman-hater just because he chose to throw Susan out of Narnia which is kind of an "equals to" heaven.
Hey that is a new thought in itself, is it not? I started writing today with the intention of defending Lewis. But now when I think again, why is Susan excluded? Is it only because she had grown up and gotten interested in the opposite sex and the instruments meant to attract them? Does this not somehow resemble Eve's plight when she is turned out of heaven because she discovered knowledge. Maybe it is parallel, you know. Susan 'discovered' that she is a woman she also realised that there are things called as 'lipstick' or 'theaters' and this knowledge might have led to her doom. So is Aslan being judgemental?!?
Now when I think again, even my dad has the same kind of thougt. He does not like it that my sister is involved with things like 'shopping' or 'beauty salons' or obscure terms like 'manicure and pedicure' ;)
Coming back to Susan, I would like to conclude by sayng that she was thrown out of Narnia; not because of her so-called newly gained knowledge, but because of the loss of her belief. She did not believe in Narnia anymore. Nor did she believe in Aslan. Think again, arent we all the same? When we grow up, do we not lose belief in things that we could only easily believe in when we were kids.. They say that it is when we stop believing that we stop hearing the sledge bell (quote from "The Polar Express")
