These are a few of my favourite things...

You'll be shocked by the no. of coffee related things...

Stepping on dry leaves during Autumn...

Morning Coffee...

Sitting in a coffee shop with a book in hand, on my own...

Meeting friends in coffee shops...

Dark, dark chocolate...

Day-dreaming (see next post)...

Making stuff up and calling it "bar-tending"

Sitting cuddled in bed reading a good book/watching a movie...

Gazing at leather-bound books with golden titles...

Buying ties for dad...

A well-placed pun!

Wandering on the streets of Powai!

Falling asleep while listening to the sound of trains...

IL DIVO!

Going out for lunch with mom...

Sleeping, all curled up, in my bed...

When all of the above and many other good things happen!

I Got The Gift Of Time...

I have lots to do...studies, scripts, ideas, room cleaning, Engineering Graphics practice, copying notes, shopping and everything...

Its almost like a half-day today. I have four hours in hand...four extra hours.

So I'm gonna do what every ambitious teen does.

I'm gonna sleep.

Good night.

The man I love

Well, not literally...actually literally...whatever that is. I love this man. Not in a lovey-dovey -scluvey way...my inspiration and my role-model, looking absolutely wonderful in this picture by Ilona Lieberman.
Noah Baumbach and Wes Anderson

Have mercy, Dr. Mercer!

I don't like the conventional romcoms...boy meets girl - love - circumstances - blah - blah - happily ever after...etc.etc. Pretty Woman, When Harry Met Sally, Splash, Four Weddings And A Funeral, and in recent times, the likes of 27 Dresses (eeeugh!) are sooo not my cup of tea. But I like movies that are a little different.

Which is why I love Something's Gotta Give

Its about two "mature" individuals, Erica, aged 56, a famous playwright and Harry, aged 63, a record company owner and how, despite being poles apart, find love in each others company.

I love Diane Keaton. And I absolutely love Erica. She's everything I wanna be (oh and being uptight at 56 is not a bad thing. Better than a middle-aged hippie any day).

But its not Erica/Diane that keeps me hooked even when I'm watching it for like the 75th time. Its not even brilliant actor/fellow taurean Jack Nicholson.

Its Keanu Reeves's Dr. Julian Mercer...Harry's 36 year old doctor, Erica's big fan and eventual boyfriend who eventually gets dumped for three-time Academy Award-winning Lothario.

I'm in love.

Julian is just about perfect.

Here's why:
-He's 36. Oooh yeah!
-His name is Julian. Now that's a name. Ever since those Famous Five days, I've been fascinated with the name Julian (Dick...er...not so much) in an Importance Of Being Earnest-esque fashion.
-He's a doctor. Just like Noah Wyle, George "Gorgeous" Clooney, John Stamos, Patrick Dempsey and others...(man, what kind of a sad, sad, sad hospital do I keep visiting?)
Okay, now seriously:
-He's a big fan of a playwright: read: intellectual, interesting, witty, smart, literary, artistic.
-He likes Erica just as she is. Not younger or less wrinkly or less turtleneck-y
-WITTY: (showing adorable bouquet)"These are for you to give me when you apologize"
-Age-scmage...Mr. Awesome is above it all.
-Her uptightness and other flaws do not bother him. Aww.
-Is not a/an alcoholic, workaholic, sexaholic, commitment-phobic, peeping tom, megalomaniac, emotional fuckwit, or pervert. Bridget Jones approves.
-He understands her and respects her for who she is
-He's Keanu Reeves. 'nuff said.

The one thing I hate about the movie is the fact that Erica chooses Harry over Julian. If I were Erica, I would never, ever do that (and no, it has nothing to do with the casting of a certain Canadian-American actor)

In short, please gift wrap the following and send me the same before my birthday.

6 days to Dubai

Saw lizard. Started screaming. Dad started screaming at me. He says "Its stupid and illogical"

Uh, there's a reason why its called irrational fear.

If it made sense, it wouldn't be called "irrational" now, would it?

Sheesh.

T'Sucks.

Being completely awesome!

I am so over good ol' watsisname...I mean I must be...it can't be a false alarm again (as they say, 34th time lucky)

Must give out thank-you's:

Henry Cavill, for being the gorgeous hunk that you are! I'm so happy everything pales in comparison

Alex Skarsgard, the lean mean Swede machine...oooh thanks for the vampyre-y delights

Wes Anderson, thank you for Fantastic Mr. Fox and for reminding me what's important in life.

Ol' Watsisname, thanks for being the supreme idiot that you are.


<3's
