Here are a few posts which I wrote but did not post:

15/9

When our previous landlord, the villainous Mr. P, finally gave us back our house deposit ( witholding close to 4k bucks) I did not think it an event worth my blog-reader's while. But now that his MFing check has bounced I have a fresh supply of blog topics. Who knows, if me and my roomate try to sue Mr. P, I might have blog topics for life.

Yesterday was Som's birthday and we went to this Arabic restaurant called Zaks in Fraser town. It is run by an Arab family. Those guys are pretty generous with their meat. Egg and Chicken rolls, mutton curry, Chicken tikka and Chicken with rice, french fries, Kabuli Chana paste and Arabic roti called Kabus were ordered and eaten. Sprites and soda-lemon were drunk. A hearty dinner was had by all except Lokesh, who is a vegetarian.

Children in Arabia must have really happy childhoods.

Tomb Raider, Jogger's Park, The League of extraordinary Gentlemen, Rules: pyar ka superhit formula, Boom.

Watched quite a few movies over the past couple of weeks. Have been wanting to write about them but not feeling quite like it. Tanuja is quite a charming grandmother in Rules. She doesnt seem to have changed much since the days she was singing in the shower in some black-and-white melody I can't recall or trying to seduce Dev Anand in 'Raat Nashili hai' in Jewel thief. Angelina's British accent seems affected in parts in Tomb Raider. Jogger's park is good in parts (the character of the Bongy judge's Daughter is nice and there is a remix of a Mukesh song and a good gazal by Jagjit Singh), but on the whole it's amateurish and half-baked. The finishing is bad, so to speak. Boom is stark, a bit vulgar but still it has some 'integrity' which Jogger's Park lacks.
