The Bourne Persona... with popcorn, coke, mom n dad...

You usually cant find me being direct. To the point i mean. Concise. You know. I'm more radius than dot. I mean... anyone ever found me saying something in like one sentence. But here... I'm gonna do just that. Im not gonna say 'This movie is so good, i ate my popcorn and my neighbours.'. No.. not even, "It was so freaking awesome, i forgot to have dinner". Not even, "This movie has the makings of a blockbuster... The action is so compelling onscreen, you forget everyone else is staring at your cell phone". Nope... none of the over the top, hyperbolic exaggerations here. Uh-huh... no way.

Okay... i've stopped now... you can alll open your eyes. :P. So... 3 words... Watch Jason Bourne.

Of course, there ARE some hazards involved. For example, you MAY be so excited about the movie that you ACCIDENTALLY pull your mom, who s sitting next to you, and tell her what just happened. She MAY take offence to that, and decide to punch you in the shoulder. And you MAY just feel like an idiot. Of course, that happens to idiots, dumbos and totally stupid geeks. *Looks at ceiling*

Of course, there are some problems when you watch a movie in theatres... for example, I was completely clueless why Bourne did a Brokeback Mountain in the middle of an action sequence... until i realized the disadvantage of having eyes in the front of your face, and ears on the sides. Let me explain...

Bourne corners the assasin, and demands at gunpoint...
"Want some popcorn???"
"No, thank you."
"Why not?"
"I dont take popcorn in the evenings"
Breathless tone... BGM suggests major plot development...
"Then what do you take???"
"Something... juicy"
*Awkward pause* - BGM on cresendo...
"Like???"
Music peaks... silence falls....
"Minute Maid Pulpy Orange yaar... wat else"

Fine... i admit...i made that up... but seriously... cant people find better places to flirt than in the seat next to mine... gosh...

Anyway... thats all i guess... Hopefully i ll catch "Rat-a-too-eee" and "Die Hard 4.0" before i leave to NITT again... for your sakes, hope i dont watch those in theatres...

*Blogger's Note: For those who read the first para *Sniggers* and wondered when the review for "The Bourne Ultimatum" is, i strongly suggest reading the title of the blog... :P

Return of the.. You know...


Its not often you introduce yourself to your own blog... but then again, its not often you ignore your blog for 2 months at a stretch... oh well... anyway... Dust away those cobwebs, drive out those mice and get the music rolling, because I'M BAAAAACK!

*No response... a solitary mouse sqeaks and continues moving my cheese*

Ok fine... i cant expect more... so I'll just imagine i didnt get snubbed (as usual) and continue with what i wanted to say *Pulls face at ungrateful reader*

Life's been fun... in a wierdly different way. The hostel life... the mess food... the A-18 Common Room koothu... everything's wierd, but good. Except the mess food... thats only wierd when it IS good...

Back for a week... looks like 55/65 of the class took a holiday this week... *Gasp* wat a coincidence!!! And they're saying classes wont take place so all we're missing is attendance *Double Gasp*. Talk about luck! :P

In a nutshell... I'm back where i belong... Chennai... Lets take you back to the moment...

Time: 10.43 PM. Location: Chennai Egmore. Specific Location: Outside Howrah Express. The warm, salty breeze. The humid air that weighs upon you like twenty tons of steel. The aroma of last weeks badly cooked dosa rotting on the platform. The cries of 'Auto Auto!' and the honking of human trains. Ahhh... There is light in the darkness - one car stands testimony to the merits of civilisation. One car that draws me to it, beckons me, enchants me. One car that will take me home.

Here i must conclude my reminisence... for the greater good :P

Anyway... Its good to be home... so watch this space...

PSSST... Here r some snaps for u ppl... checkit out... The View from A-18, The View inside A-18, Sharu's First Class Bunked and Sharu Hyperactive... enjoy :)
