To new beginnings .... of the old/abandoned projects .... !

Misty .... Shiny ..... Dots ....

So, lately people ask me if I have shifted my base to the U.S.A. Why bole tho, I changed my sleep wake cycle again! Sleeping in the morning.... working in the night kind of a schedule.
I can't even begin to talk about the good things about working late.
I get to have the whole lab for myself, everything is quiet so I can think better, etc etc.
But then there are some unusual treats of working this late as well, pleasant surprises, sometimes even splendid!
I went out to take a stroll three hours ago.
There is this stretch of open space beyond the lab, nicely covered with a lot of autumn leaves still lying there and since there have been rains, they take this earthy dark brown to light brown colours which is both nice and sometimes a little annoying to look at.
There are a lot of tall trees, whose leaves fall asleep, flanking all three sides of this open space.
I looked at the long dark open space, felt a little eerie (the added cold air was not helping in any way to this eeriness), and then I looked up.
I was just dumbfounded for two minutes.
I could see a big expanse of sky right above the tall trees.
The view was like a movie screen, with trees occupying one third of the screen and the rest was filled with sky.
The sky was prussian blue in colour , with tiny misty dotted stars, misty as in, they didn't look like bright crisp dots but they had this fuzzy light around the central bright shine.
It does not stop there, there were misty looking clouds too, very very light-see-through ones, in flimsy, tiny patches all around, and then there was this brigade of bigger ones than these following them!
All these were moving not too fast and not too slow.
But I could see them move like tiny whales above me, clearing patches of misty starry sky as they moved ahead.

It is difficult to describe the "magic magic" feeling about it.
It can most definitely be seen in some anime images of the night sky.

So, perks of working late I tell you is one of these magic magic views of the star lit sky.
I will talk about the early morning magic some other time.

Lost in Austen!

I was watching this movie "Lost in Austen" the other day. Needless to say I like the story "Pride and Prejudice". The Lizzie character is so.... very....ante no words anymore. Must have been difficult in those times to be as smart and not taken for granted. Come to think of it, it has not changed much from back then to now! I can see the same saga almost every other month at some point or the other where strong women are loathed or hated. Why!??

Anyways, I liked this version of the movie too. I would say if you are bored, and want a mild twist to all things in the tale and despite this end up liking the movie, then one must certainly watch it. Throughout the movie I was looking at the main character's hair! Yes, while so much was happening in the movie I was consistently, through every frame, looking at her hair! How come no one seems to be bothered by it ani :-/

Anyways, I always knew why someone like Darcy could fall for Elizabeth. I mean, clearly, what about her isn't worth falling for? She is smart, has integrity, carries herself with such aplomb, etc. But what does SHE fall for in a man like Darcy is something I never really understood. I thought the same while watching this new version of the movie. I had to question my memory while I had this conflict of thought. What did I miss about his character sketch karke. I had to therefore question my old age issues that seem to be growing at hand as well! Beware, senility ahead. That is probably the sign I must carry is what I fear now a days about.

Anyhow, I think I have come across a person like Darcy. No, I have not fallen for him! The reason I even thought of why Elizabeth falls for him is because I was thinking about how rude this Darcy-look-alike guy is. I watched the movie two days ago, and today abruptly I was thinking why some people are rude. Therefore I had this drawing-parallels-between-the-two episode in my head. Wondering why or what could be attractive about such people in general. Is it because he is honest, despite his genuine supercilious behaviour and attitude? Someone might explain it to me sometime maybe. I'm really confused! Yes, I have lots of time on hands too!

But there was one other thing that the actress says which made me think. The courtship was at such a slower pace back then. I mean it is still the same here in the country. But really? What is it about this sort of a ball game? I was just wondering where would I place myself between slow paced and fast paced? I guess I know the answer but I don't want to admit it to myself. Samai ke saath chalo, ab ki baar modhi sarkar! very sad PJ, but somehow couldn't help it!

I will bid Adieu with a musical note this time. Some dear friends have left indelible notes in my head, this is payback time for the music they have implanted in my life :-D

Thanks to them nevertheless. Here is goes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JxyVHg5eEQ

I don't know why .... but this old saying that my aunt used to keep saying ringed in my head just now. Makes complete sense, this saying now, but put in a different style of course. I never understood it as a kid, and I wondered why she wanted to talk about her bawa's cycle? My belief was she never had one, to begin talking of one. 

You see my concept of a bawa was very filmy, the one whom you might get married to, or have a crush on or the one whom you don't want to be married to or around whom girls are supposed to act shy and stuff.

Asalu, the concept of a guy having a bawa was hilarious in my head therefore!

hahahahhaah... !

Anyways, here goes the saying "sokulaku maa bawa cycle konnadu, cycle ekkaboi sandhula paddadu!"

:-D
