Peter coined a new phrase to describe our few and far apart posts, calling it "once in a greenmoon". Which is pretty neat; unless you subscribe to the moon-is-made-of-green-cheese theory, in which case the phrase is redundant. Anyway, things have been crazy here in Bangalore, or Bengaluru as it is supposed to be. We've had two governments and President's Rule in the span of a month and infrastructure is still getting worse.
Putting that aside though, it's been a good couple of months. Peter was in town though we couldn't catch up much. Sumesh is back in China and having a blast. Allen's rocking at GridcoNet (I think). As for me, there are rumours of a trip to Australia. Let's see if that materialises.
It has been a time of getting to see some really good movies and some bad ones. The Bourne Ultimatum was an awesome conclusion to the Bourne trilogy. Though based on the Ludlum books, they deviate considerably. Still they do a good job with a taut storyline, good acting and edge of the seat action. Definitely worth a watch. So too with The Departed which changed my views on Leo DiCaprio as an actor. I now look forward to watching Blood Diamond and being completely won over. There were a few other good ones but the third instalment of the Pirates series was not one of them. The drastic move from the tone of adventure-comedy in the first to drama and tragedy in the next two was too much for me to stomach. In the third part, it moves into the mythical realms but the movie still doesn't work as well. Watch it to say you saw the whole trilogy and nothing more.
On a more sombre note for me, I had to say goodbye to my faithful dog, Snowy. Age proved too much for it and it has now gone to that great kennel in the sky, leaving us with the memories of 12 happy years. Rest in Peace, little one.
That's all for now. Hope to update before the next green, blue or red moon.
Chow for now.
Arul.
