CURRY FOR THE SOUL #2

Don’t try to find any coherence in the following paragraphs. I could assure you beforehand there is not any. I don’t intend to write any coherent passages today. I am writing this post because
1) there is no new posts in this blog since new year’s eve and
2) today I feel like writing but I do not have anything on top of my head to write about and
3) I am big time depressed. Damn you English weather! You make me homesick so bad.

So here it goes:-

“Life is but a little holding, lent
To do a mighty labour. It is one
With heaven and stars when it is spent
To do God’s aim. Else die we with the sun.”

I’ve found these lines by George Meredith in a travel book I am reading this week (don’t ask me who George Meredith is though, no clues!). His grave is also engraved with these lines,( kinda his favourite lines,huh?).
The lines are really fascinating, don’t you think? Specially the last line, “Else die we with the sun”.
I may not find a purpose of my life or a true meaning of it while I would look back at the end of my days but somebody is there to say ‘That’s OK Kutus. Only that you have sat it out till the end of your days, is glorious enough of a purpose, meaningful enough of your existence in this universe’. So die I proudly and contently with the sun.


We (me and A) watched ‘Broke back Mountain’ yesterday. A, did not know what the movie is about, so as the movie progressed, couple of times I heard A saying under his breath – “ Oh…..spent 5 quid for a Gay movie, what a waste”.
Anyway he stuck it out till the end and I am pretty sure that by the end of the movie he has changed his mind that the money spent was not so much of a waste.
It is a nice love story, if you are okay with the gay thing though. It is more about the true companionship of two individuals than a cheesy gay movie, I would like to add here. Also the locations in the film are so outstanding, I particularly liked the bar with a handwritten BAR written on the outside wall.
I found the chemistry between the two heroes in the film (Ennis Del Mer and Jack Twist) more intense and more emotionally realistic than the normal heterosexual love scenes between John Abraham and Rani Mukherjee. Seriously, how could Janata still tolerate John Abraham as an actor! The only expression I found on his face is “ui ma! Pressure a gaya, toilet jana hai”. Anyway I am no director, so this is none of my business.

Aj Saraswati pujo. We don’t have any pujo nearby. So no pujo, no bhog, no khichuri and no Anjali. Hmmmm………..this may be the root cause of my depression. I may be craving for some bhog and Prasad in my sub-conscious mind and that leads to this depression thing.

The following conversation is going on in my brain :-
Left side of my brain: Don’t get depressed over Khichuri, Kutus. I would get you fish and chips from Hungry Horse pub tomorrow.
Right side of my brain: Hell with your fish and chips. I need Makha Sandesh ar Bhog er Khichuri.

Before things get worse in my brain, let me say bye to you.
Bye bye.
