Going home for a couple of hours
Filed Under (Movies, Places, Review)
On Sunday, I went back home to India for a couple of hours. Yep, just 2 hours. But not via plane or train or ship but in a cinema hall. While watching ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. Its a wonderful movie and I definitely enjoyed watching it. Initially, I wasnt so impressed but as the movie went on, it kept getting better and better. And while I thought the movie itself wasnt as amazing as some people told me, it was still really good and it gets extra points for transporting me to a different world seamlessly. When I got out of the movie, I thought I would be facing the exit staircase of Prasads IMAX but alas, I was still in cold wintery England. I loved the movie more for reminding me so much of India rather than the story itself. Its a must watch for all Indians living elsewhere in the world, to remind them of the culture and diversity of home.
And speaking of diversity, I realized yesterday how diverse London was after successfully getting lost thrice, again. I must have walked atleast 4 – 5 kilometres and my legs feel like they’re going to fall off any moment. I managed to find my destination after much trial and error and time. It was hectic and tiring but in the end, I got my job done and thats the point. Nevertheless, next time I go to London, I shall remember to carry a map with me.
My last Moleskine diary finally got filled up and I had to get a new one. Not wanting to get another Moleskine, I did extensive research on notebooks and stumbled upon this great site which was very helpful. I really wanted to get a Cartesio but it was out of stock everywhere and I ended up buying a Guildhall. I do like it a lot, one for the fact that you can completely fold which makes things a lot more handy while travelling, etc. However, the build quality is not upto the level of the Moleskine but it doesnt really matter since it doesnt affect my writing in any way. Overall, its a great notebook for the price but I think I’ll get the Cartesio next time.
