An Update
It’s been a roller coaster week laced with a bit of laziness, and hoardes of new goodies that have kept me busy.
For those who sniggered 
let me just inform that I do have a pile-load of work, which I am desperately trying to reduce and streamline. There are only two options that can happen – either I succumb within its weight, or I sort it out to the extent that leaves me less breathless than now. As of now, I sit precariously beneath the first one!
There was another trip to Aligarh in between, including that horrifyingly bumpy ride via Hathras. But I am not getting into those details. Let’s delve deep into the good stuff.
On Saturday, I did some hardcore shopping and the result was a lighter pocket, but a fuller house. Now I have a referigerator, a television, a DVD player and an awesome set of 5.1channel speaker system. So, that’s where I spent this long weekend (Saturday was off due to Raja Agrasen’s Jayanti)- right in front of my new Samsung TV set, watching films after films on T-series DVD player.
Most purchases were done after lots of shop-hopping and finally I settled on the cheapest ones – that’s why the T-series DVD player and Videocon Fridge. With the former, I got 5 DVD’s free which included Aksar, Kyun Ki, Sarkar and two song collections.
The speaker set was the best and the most value-for-money purchase. At INR 2000, they are marvellous – though from an unknown brand, imported by the Big Bazaar fellows, which has opened its showroom only last week.
Yesterday I saw two movies that I had missed in-between: Corporate and Golmaal. The former is an incisive film and enjoyed it thoroughly. Madhur Bhandarkar is Bollywood’s answer to Arthur Hailey. Like Hailey, he picks up one industry – politics, bar dancers, page 3, corporate- and builds an interesting story around it.
Golmaal is not a patch on the older film with the same name. But setting that irritant aside, its an okayish time pass.
That’s all from me for now. But will be back soon. Keep watching!
