So I Didn't Watch Vettaikaran!

I don't know how I would describe this feeling (or is it state of being?). When I am here at my house with little to nothing to do and bored out of my wits, and a Vijay movie is only a 15 minute drive away. Yet, here I still remain unable to coerce myself to watch it. And the truth is, I really don't know why. But I assume it's a combination of all the three following reasons. One more than the other, but I will tell you which one at the end.

Well for starters, I had been "advised" to boycott Vijay's Vettaikaran as Vijay had supposedly affiliated with a music director (Vijay Anthony) or was it singer? who in turn was affiliated with the Srilankan Sinhalese people. That's all the surface detail I, and the people who had "advised" me knew too.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Oh yes it is. It's snowing. Christmas day is approaching People are bundled and shopping through the wee hours. I see lights shining bright like stars through my window. I walk past trees all decked in jewels. I think to myself what a wonderful time of the year it is indeed. My birthday is around the corner, followed by the New Year, it couldn't have been planned any sweeter

What is it about this time of the year that got people hopping and parading with smiles plastered across their face for everyone to see. Is it the soft spells of the falling snow? Or is it the days off work that everyone had anticipated since the beginning of the year? Maybe it's all the SALE signs posted all around. No, I know what it is.

to be continue'd....
