Out in the midnight...in a Metro

The metro I am talking about is,as i always say.... a not so metro,Chennai.And Chennai at midnight!!Is same as any other small city in India.Not much of night life...just quiet and beautiful in it's own way.It so happened that I had to go to office at around 10.00 pm, that too on a holiday...well the reason was quite unavoidable.Well while going got a lift from a friend. But while coming back,it was just past midnight,didnt want to wait for a cab for another hour...And had to come back home walking(its a 20 minutes walk,from office to my home).

So that was it....Out in the Metro,one fine night (midnight) ...in a city so peaceful...a city so quiet.Just a few autos,or a office cab,police petrol vans,and few people at work on the road People who work in the night,when the city is asleep, whole night may be to keep this city clean n tidy.Huh man!this silence was a bliss..for i had walked on the same road a hundred times during day and in the evenings.There will always be a mad rush of vehicles and people.The MTC and ECR buses,autorickshaws,honking two wheelers and four wheelers and moreover the padestrians.and how am i forgetting the roadside vendors,fortune tellers...sometimes u just dont need to walk...u just move along with the crowd...it takes u in its flow..a flow so inevitable...

And it was the same city...so quiet and peaceful.i had to see it to believe it.

Just a book or two?!

Books are my passion.Books are my love.I like them in all forms,all types,all kinds.So here is a voracious reader,can devour anything to everything...call it Science fiction... Literatue...Biography...Philosophy...Nonfiction...or anything else for that matter.Can get my hands off anything as light as comics (read webcomics,dont get to read the printed ones these days)...or as serious a book as dealing with 'What is the meaning of life?!'(How about 'God of small things' or 'Monk who sold his farrari').So here i will be writing about the books i read ...those i love ...those i love not ...those i appriciate...or those i could hardly bear with.

Presently reading 3 books parallely.Well i would say i am pretty capable of parallel processing.
1.Mediocre but Arrogant
2.Inscrutible Americans
3.Lord of the Rings

First book deals with life and love at a B-School.Second one is full of sarcasm n humour for American society in a very palatable way.Third one needs no introduction neither does JRR Tolkein.So here goes pure fiction stuff.
Will shortly be writing about Chetan Bhagat's 'One night @ call centre' and his previous one which i liked more 'Five point someone'.

Oh so dreamy eyes..

So where do i start!!My work!My life!My passions!My Hobbies!My love!My dreams!

Well lets start with my dreams.Let me tell u,its not the 'dream' as in aspiration...what i want to be after some 10-15 years...or what i want to do with my life... or all those stuff.
Its simply means "a series of mental images and emotions occurring during sleep".
Well what's the big deal about that,everyoone has his own dreams.Hmmm...let them have their.But my dreams are mine,and isn't that a reason enough for them to become special.
I love my dreams....and i have all kind of those...good ones...bad ones...scary ones....naughty,pranky ones...

But the most interesting part of it is few of them do come true.Some good ones and some bad ones too...
One thing I would say,the people i meet in a day,the things i do or atleast think of doing always have a higher probability of coming in my dreams.

These days i had been dreaming about RPG's(Role Playing Game) quite a lot.Started playing it a week back,courtsey a friend of mine who is crazy about them.Previously,computer games n me!!It's kid's stuff buddy!I have lot more interesting things to do.But then again one fine evening....well..ok..lets give it a try.A3,huh!!that's the name of the game.And then, as they say rest all is history.I started playing as a mage named Chandrika,teamed with with some other characters....n started....yes killing monsters..lots of them..Memoras...Lessy's....Epulooas...Hammerds...to name a few.And acquiring skills...gaining experience.That day if i would have seen myself in that gamedrome, would have had laughed my guts out.For a kind of person i am,or i had been....killing monsters was just funny and immature stuff.I was meant for much serious stuff in life.Actually i can say i never gave it a try.

Now the most intriguing part of it,when that night in my dreams i started playing A3,infact i was the character Chandrika, hunting down the monsters to acquire some skills that i could not take on during the real game.And this continued for quite a few nights together.Oh Man!It almost became an addiction in such a short span of time.

So there goes my dreams about RPG's.Let's see,how long i stay hooked on to this new found passion of mine.
