Those vertical random beautifuly spraying black/grey lines...ill-shaped dots,... in short, marks/scratches on the film role which is an inevitable and the most desirable imperfection in olden days' movies... usually as a result of manual editing (trust me photograph of an editing room has nearly knocked me down). Though you wont find these scratch marks on some very old movies. The reason I leave it for you to guess. Something we miss in these days of digital editing.(Lifeless editing).
Atleast for certain scattered periods in my life, I wanted to be a movie theatre operator.. where I can happily operate the projector machines and feel the privilage to decide which all reels we have to show the audience. And most importantly see all the movies...watch them to my heart's content. No other pleasure had its mark on my life other than watching those flickering images on the silver screen. (Although most of the time, I was inclined to aircrafts and dreamt about flying...but thts a completely different block in my dream complex.).
Whole purpose of spraying your eyes with movie paint, is to deceive your senses. This deceit lasts for a while till u plunge deep into the ocean of life again. We have our own re-chargers or re-surfacers(in my vocabulary..) which help us stretch ourselves above the ever pressurizing ocean surface.. AND BREATHE. like a flying fish... And Movies, to me, are simply one of those.
God Bless

Jus a bit of S.o.r.r.(o.w).y
Common problem among us Indians.. to use the word "sorry" as a verb instead of a noun. Come on ppl.. We can't give or ask for a "sorry". Sorry is not a thing.. its a state of mind which can be described as the noun of sorrow.. YES.. we could get/give some "sorrow" frm/to others ofcourse. but not "sorry"!
Same case with the word - "foreign"... but I dun need to elaborate on this DO I?
God Bless
This reminds me of Tigerwoods incident.. Jus wondering if it is really important that a popular SPORTSMAN shd apologize to the public (To his Fans acc to him) abt being unfaithful to his wife..?The only person whom he was bound to be faithful was his wife n his family..I just dont understand why these popular figures have their personal life open to the public like a book open from FOUR sides.

The four dollar story
Simply be rich .. n have plenty.. thou Shalt not want.
My mind is too simple and un-complicated to make me rich.. This sentence I have been clinging on... for years.
The path to richness (richness=Enough money for All of our Needs) is jus easy... way too easy than you think.. its a snake n ladder game between your happiness and your circumstances. n not a grumpy chess game as most of us think...
This is a simple (sometimes time consuming..[sometimes] ) process for those who KNOW.
now you must be scrolling down this webpage to see of therez any "mastercard" or "Visa" icons or any cliche bold red fonts in a stupid dotted box! .. but "fortunately or unfortunately (I got a hang of this usage frm my beloved wife whom I Miss So Much)", you wont find those junks here...
First of all, Trust the author. :) .
Secondly, make ur mind simple (by seeing things as less complicated including being rich).
PLS TAKE NOTE>> its not a "Become rich" class. Its just an enlightenment to all souls who think that its out of their reach (rhyming? oops out of subject!).. or those of you who are not getting a start (everything has to start somewhere).
Most possible and realistic pathway to "thou shalt not want" state. To make it more realistic (like its not realistic enough), lets imagine we are starting a journey, from poorville to richston.. start your engine...
1. we are seeing money coming to us usually through a single source of income. We sit in office and work, Go for lunch, have tea, go home, hav dinner n ZzzZzz.
To save some nominal amount of money, lets say, we brought something from home..instead of eating from outside. I suppose we save atleast $4. Wait!! Before you close this page, lemme make myself clear I am not talking rubbish here by saying you all can be millionaires by saving $4 a day..but that $4 will be the milestone of your life on which will be written-"I started here".
2. For a person like me, Saving a penny would be making me proud enough to give me the confidence to save another penny :). so imagine the determination and happiness it would give when we save $4 one day.. That $4 would make us happy not because we have $4 in our savings account (which we can use to buy a bunglow and a car ofcourse), but because we defeated the inertia we all had.. to start saving money..
3. That happiness which we gain from saving a nominal amount day by day, will give us the ability and the courage to look into our money matters seriously and you will start to "Handle" money effectively. the method will differ for individuals some may work harder to make the $4 to $40. but if we save 0 a day, i don't think you would work harder to change the "0". but since your cup is quarter full, you will have the determination to fill it. if There is no cup at all, nobody will be concerned about it.
This is the longest but the most promising of all the steps in the journey stated here..
4. Its all about inertia to look into the money "section" or "stream" in our lives. We may have
multiple streams or tracks in our life like- Love life, Work, Business, Shelter, Friends, Hobbies etc.. but at this stage, you will have a serious member: Money stream.. and you will have the control to regulate it.. Or in other words, You will have the mental courage and confidence to handle it.
Save $4 a day.. and you will start to save $40 a day the VERY NEXT YEAR.
TAKE IT FROM ME. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, DON'T ASK ME HOW.. well jokes apart, That "HOW" will depend on an individual's personal talents and interests..
FOR ALL these, we have one pre-requisite.. have a continuous source of income.. may it be $100 a month.. but have an income.. and start you $4 savings.. you will soon be reaching Richston..Without u even knowing.
SO GOOD LUCK..
God Bless you all.

ROOM TO BATHROOM!!! WITH ONLY ONE THOUGHT IN MIND.. TO SLEEP! AND WIND.
HOUSE DOOR SHUT OR NOT SHUT! WHO CARES.! JOINTS IN MY LEGS RESISTS TO MOBILISE THE BODY ABOVE.....
LIKE THEY NEED A LUBRICANT TO MOVE...
ELEVATORS SHOULD HAVE COZY SOFAS... WHERE I STAND LIKE A MAN WHO HAS A BULLET SHOT ON HIS BACK!.
WALK.. WALK... WHERE IS THE LRT... WALK... WALK..
steps... MY LIFETIME ENEMY..! STILL CLIMBING STEPS..WOW.! REACHED LRT.. TAPPING ON THE GATE...HAHAH MY EZLINK VALUE. -2.20. HAVE TO TOP UP.. THE MACHINE SAYS!
PULLING MY BODY TO THE SIDE... I FEEL LIKE THE MUSCULAR FORCE THAT I PUT IN TO MOVE MY BODY, IS BEING WASTED FOR EXTRA FRICTION..!!!!!!!!!
CHAPTER.1.- FREEZING
VILLAIN: L.R.T
---------------
LRT.. THE REFRIGERATOR. BLOWS THE ARCTIC ICE RIGHT INTO MY CONGESTED THROAT... WOW.. WHAT A FEELING. OUT OF THE WORLD FEELING.
CHAPTER 2.- RUNNING BEHIND SLEEP.
VILLAIN: M.R.T GRRRRRRRRRRrrr
REACHING PUNGGOL. GOT DOWN FROM THE COOLER COMPARTMENT. RUNNING FOR THE TRAIN SHIVERING.
INSIDE THE TRAIN..! TRAIN ALMOST FILLED THOUGH PUNGGOL IS THE FIRST STATION.(PPL FROM OTHER STATIONS GET INTO THE TRAIN TILL LAST STATION TO GET SEATS)
WELL.. ALWAYS MANAGE TO GET A SEAT. TRAIN DEPARTS.
I TRY TO CLOSE MY EYES. .BUT CANT SLEEP. I TRY DIFFERENT BODY POSITIONS BEING CRAMMED IN MY SEAT. SOMETIMES I USE MY LAPTOP BAG AS A PILLOW N JUST CROUCH MYSELF..! GOD.. I DUNNO Y ITS NOT WORKING EITHER. BODY IS PAINING LIKE A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G.!! CAN NEVER SLEEP.! SO JUST CONTINUED TO CLOSE MY EYES!
HEARD ANNOUNCEMENT: NEXT STATION: HARBOURFRONT. MY STATION. JUS 3 MINS AWAY....I THINK THATS THE MAGICAL PHRASE WHICH SETS MY ENTIRE BODY TO SLEEP.! I SLEEP SOUNDLY.................................................................SUDDENLY WAKING UP TO AN OFFICER SAYING THIS IS THE LAST STATION. REALISING I SHOULD GET UP... BUT EXPERIENCING THE SAME LETHARGIC FEELING AS WAKING UP FROM BED.! GOD...

CHAPTER 3. SBS TRANSIT...COZY ONE..THE BUS COMES..! 166 OR 97.... TRUELY SPEAKING... THIS 15 MINS BUS RIDE TO SCIENCE PARK HEALS THE FRUSTRATION AND MADNESS IN MY MIND. FEELS LIKE HEAVEN!

Thoughts are the most efficient fuels for life.
Not many. Not all. Not a few. as unclear this statement is, so is life folks.! Not many understand what they are living for. Not all have a hope for tomorrow. Not a few..
Life gets rolling on the wheels of feelings/hopes/fears. Little part of life is affected by real instances/incidents... only a little part.. because, after an Incident, people make it a memory which acts as a cause for 'Feelings/emotions' in the future.
If we Fear an elephant, we don't go near it. You would never want an elephant foot tattoo.
If we Hope for a good Tomorrow, We live for it. we cant get to see tomorrow unless we live for it.
If we have feelings towards someone, we love. not Loving for the feelings to come.
So World is far more ... very deeply emotionalized than we think. Its not the materialized world we are living in. As people are slowly learning....'life's engine runs on the fuel of emotions. not material facts.'
World is returning to innocence as the famous enigma song goes... so smile.
God Bless.
I am waiting for the moment we hold hands...the moment we hold our breath to see the waves shining in the evening sun.... the moment we see each other crisply even when its pitch dark... I am waiting.. i am waiting. even When I am on the top of the world, Its you who would give me the sense to sense that. Its you whom i wanna grow old with

Life bites
If I had a "happenings" section in my life's notice board, i think it will be always filled with notices and newsletters in front of which my angels would stand around. But I dont think I will peek into it very often... especially when God puts up some important event/activity.
Sigh.. really missed some nice.. "happening" moments.
but as always, Thanking God for giving me at least what I have right now :)
ciao.!
