Book stores and back to books .....

I had been forming this post in my mind thruout the day , adding and trying to remember bits and pieces now , then , here , there ....... with the effect that there were a myriad of topics I had included. But I fell asleep in the middle with the effect that I have to start off on a clean slate. Bcoz once I get up from sleeping, neither my mood is the same nor are the things in the same perspective (read over-exaggerated!!).
I have discovered a corner , and a book which manages to draw me back everyday. Considering that I was out in touch with books for nearly six months, its a big achievement for me. Thanks to Mithra that I first thought of getting my hands on the book "Memoirs of a Geisha". And so far it has not disappointed me. Best of all, I get to sit among books and read the book , with a crisp new cover ........ :)...the corner I have found to read in is in the University book store. I love it bcoz I can sit there in total anonymity, (just another nobody), I love the corner in the book-store (which I now regard as my corner)..... I ofcourse love the book.....its about a girl's struggle through life. There are many things to read and laugh about and many things to not agree with in the book. But its interesting and keeps you waiting.......... to know what happens next. Ok i guess I am going round and round in cycles.
Two movies down , Love actually - was not good at all. I think only Hugh Grant's name made me get it. It was about ten love stories reaching their climax in London. The other movie was Elizabethtown. That was also an ok movie for me - but Orlando Bloom was out of this world. :) He made the movie very enjoyable. But the movie had some very interesting pieces of thought - Kirsten Dunst on hearing Orlando talk about how he was a failure says :"Ok so you failed, you failed you failed you failed .....so what! ...... What is great is when you face upto it and still smile, so that people wonder why you are still smiling." I thought that was a beautiful thought.....bcoz it gives you a feeling of power that you alone are the master of your life.

One of my best investments so far was my Ipod. I am glad my brother asked for it , and I am even happier that I didn't send it :)(selfishly). All the way while coming back from Univ, then while trying to make a simple alu fry which backfired....with music and thoughts of the book i guess I was smiling throughout and after a long time ...I was enjoying my company :)...................I don't know where the feeling of euphoria came from ....maybe the realisation that I didn't need external factors to be happy was satisfying..........well atleast for sometime.
