hmmm ... it's a loooong time since I posted. Well, nothing very interesting has happened recently anyway, except for 'Matrix Reloaded'. Contrary to the general opinion, I loved the movie. In fact I saw it twice. It has all that I had expected from it. Great fight sequences, amazing special effects and a very good concept very well explained.

Some dialogs are mind boggling and make you think (as always). So dont go according to the general reaction. See the movie and make up your own mind. Everything that has a beginning must have an end.

Doing anything is going to unfair to the other category. But in this case, the whole problem is magnified to a huge extent. I obviously cannot rely so much on gr...

After waiting in the first queue, for some reason, I decided to spend another fifteen minutes in the second one. I realised my stupid mistake when I reached the counter and the lady asked me what I wanted. I said 'nothing' and proceeded to the food counter, leaving the lady wondering what the hell had just happened. It going to be difficult to beat this act of stupidity!
