Movies on this christmas weekend

Maybe I should have also taken a vacation like half of my colleagues. After 7 months of 12 hours days and calls with clients beyond midnights, finally my project is reaching its successful conclusion. And in the melee to give the final touches, the days of December just whizzed by. Before I could even remember that this was a long weekend, flight prices had zoomed off to new highs :), and so I am here spending a relaxed weekend at home.

I thought I'd watch lot of movies but come saturday, I found the company of people like me and I have been out most of the time.

These are what I could catch:

1. Taken - Action thriller, very slick, definitely reco
2. Wake Up Sid - Lovely Movie, kinda slow
3. 3 idiots - Lot of laughs in the first half, sensitive in the 2nd, except for one overboard (or shall we say over TT table?) avoidable scene, this is a must see

Also I did catch up Avatar a few days back, the visuals are definitely good and worth a watch, but do watch it in as good a theatre as you can to really experience the best from it. Love Aaj Kal was recommended by a very good friend, it is good in parts, but kinda preachy and Deepika is still learning to act :)

poem on sunsets

By Habit, I do not write poems, I don't think I have the talent. But then yesterday a friend challenged me that I could come up with only a depressing one. Well so I came up with this in about 10 minutes

Crimson red and orange bright/
the sun sets to my window right/
birdies nest in and bugsies buzz out/
Gently the crescent shimmers and twinkies pout!

Sounds more like a kindergarten rhyme, doesn't it? Anyway I feel good about it.

How does one know?

When one is crazy about something and has his heart set on it for a long time, and if that prized possession seems attainable only by an uncertain freakish chance -- should one let go, accept the "reality" and move on to "better" things --- how does one know if there was a sliver of a chance, should they try harder or just let go?
