Hollow or shallow?

What's worse...hollow or shallow? Shallow sounds still manageable...it's more like a beginning. You could graduate to 'deep'. Not necessarily, but there's still a chance! But hollow is something that's....something that hurts. Like, something that used to have substance starts hollowing out. Something that used to be good starts going bad from within.
I've been thinking of these two in terms of relationships. Lately, certain relations have turned out to be pretty shallow. That felt weird for a day. But i'm okay with it. It's a no-big-deal situation. Certain others seem to have become hollow. Not suddenly. Pretty gradual actually. But it's much much worse. Now that realization has finally dawned, it seems irreversible. I know it isn't. Maybe i can make things better. What if i don't want to?! What if 'making things okay' is just a pattern? What if it is like a temporary filling in the hollowness which eventually wears out...And makes the relationship worse? Like the way they fill up potholes on our roads?
I'd take shallow over hollow i think. What about you?

Sid from Wake Up Sid is by far the Most lovable movie character till date (and the fact that RK is lookin so hot throughout just adds to his charm!). He is just so supremely adorable! He's even nicer than Aditya Kashyap of Jab We Met...or all the Prems and Rajs... In comparison, even Oliver from A Lot Like Love and Noah from The Notebook seem pale! Just imagine!!
He's eyecandy... but isn't perfect. He has his own flaws. Each more endearing than the other in my opinion ;) And he seems so real. And unreal at the same time! Like, he is too good to be true. But he isn't this always-right-goodboy-person either. Neither is he the stereotypical 'bad-guy' that girls are 'supoosed to' fall for. What I liked best about him, I think, is the fact that he is a Nice person. Awwwww :)

As for the movie, pretty well made yaa! Looks lovely (Thank you Karan Johar). And the direction n all that is in place too. So the story flows pretty smoothly without any major glitches. And the music if FAB!!!!! What's even better is that it totally fits in the movie. Goes with the mood of the story completely! Couldn't help comparing this with Love Aaj Kal (another movie with fab music) though! In that one, the songs seem like such a waste!! I mean, ajj din chadheya was like MAJOR bummer in the movie man!! Anyhoo...! Wake Up Sid does full justice to everything. Very 'paisa vasool' as they call it ;) Kept me in a euphoric mood for quite a while. Been in a happy-bubble since last night. hehe... Feel good movie of the year. Though minus the usual mush. Near perfect blend of fantasy n fact. Louved it. You must've guessed as much by now ;)

Goonja sa hai koi iktara iktara
Goonja sa hai koi iktara.... :)

Doordarshan turned 50 today! How cool is that! But I've always thought of DD as being oooooold.....so 50 is kinda young na? Byomkesh Bakshi n Buniyad were my favs from the 'olden days'
What were yours?!

You mess up my mind
You play with my thoughts
You sweep me off my feet
You take my breath away
But the exhiliration dies too soon
You leave me all alone
In the middle of the song
Clutching my heart in my fist
I wait for the next time
Not knowing if it will come at all
I curse myself for letting you do that to me
For letting you mess with my mind!

This sounds justtttttttt like Pusa road. Pehle wala! Doesn't it? Doesn't it??!!!

First job. First day at work. Not very eventful. And since I had a lot of time to think, I couldn’t refrain from drawing comparisons between Swan and the current place. At Swan, I was an intern. And all my anxieties apart, I was not really “responsible” for much. Here, I am an EMPLOYEE. The word has such an ominous ring to it! And I am not ‘sitting on the fence’ anymore…I am a part of the circus!
A major difference…is that I did not get a panic attack imagining all sorts of worst case scenarios about what the people would be like, since Bunny’s there! :-) So, I was unusually at ease on my very first day. She’s been filling me in abt the official and unofficial details. After being stranded all alone for the training, it’s great to have someone around. Someone with whom I don’t have to go through the colleague>>acquaintance>>friend routine before getting comfy with. So, YAY for Bunny! :)
Things I miss about Swan, which I think every office needs…a) a clean loo …this one is downright dingy! Uggghhhhh b) windows! It rained today and I couldn’t see it! The office is in the basement…I didn’t even KNOW that it was raining. Major bummer!! c) Balcony/ terrace. There HAS to be a place where ppl can chill without going out of office. I want balcony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One big difference here is, though no one claims to be passionate about what they are doing (which is not to say they R’nt!), they don’t crib either. And they don’t pack up their bags n leave as soon as office time is up. Wow. At six, I had to use a huge amount of self-restrain to not leave. Just b’coz no one else was! Haha
These are my initial thoughts however and I would be glad to consider other options. Lol.

For the last two months, I’ve been on a looooong break. Almost immediately after the final exams. It’s been a great vacation. And mostly, I’ve had a great time ;)
I want to do a day-wise thingy for the euro trip…at least the first 10 days n the convocation (doesn’t leave out much then!). But I know me. And I’m too lazy for all this…Still, I’ll give it a shot.

This particular trip had First-Time-Ever written all over it. First time abroad. And all the firsts associated with it – change in time-zone, jet-lag (or the lack of it), a convocation ceremony (though not mine), pubs in oxford (or anywhere for that matter!), and basically being in a “foreign” place.

The flight to London was good. I got a little impatient coz I’ve never sat in a plane for more than two-n-half hours. But I got to see Kismat Konnection. So I was happy. Hehe. Being the only one among the four of us who was literally stepping outta India for the very first time, I knew that a lotta gyaan was gonna come my way all the time. I took it pretty well too. Well, for almost the entire journey. But more about that later.

I had white wine onboard. It wasn't very nice. And my dad's coke looked so much better in comparison!! So I had coke on the way back..n it was too little compared to the drinks the others had! life just isn't fair!!! ha!
more later...laziness has set in :)
