Basic Instinct 2


I was wary of this sequel. Like all sequels i thought this one too would sputter. But to my surprise, i think this was one of the best sequels I had ever watched.

It did exceed my expectations. Sharon Stone was at her ever best playing the cool, seductive killer and Dan Morrisey in the lead role as a Psychiatrist fits in quite well. Every plot had a twist and the final twist was the mother of it all.

Don't miss it.

Nice Song


Both Sides, Now

by Joni Mitchell

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons ev’rywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on ev’ryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all

Moons and junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev’ry fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way

But now it’s just another show
You leave ’em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away

I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost, but something’s gained
In living ev’ry day

I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all

I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all

Basic Needs


I have three basic needs. Just three. And I think I would be satisfied if I had just the three of them. I won't ask for anything more. I promise. I might whine a bit, I might fantasize that my world would have been better if I had asked for more, but then, thats the best part about fantasy.

So give me my three basic needs and I shall be gone for good. I need an iPod, a cocker spaniel and a big boat, so that i can drift away on the vast blue waters without care for what this world is all about. The dog to keep me company and music to save my mind from insanity.

I know a big bank balance would have been a smart choice, but who wants to make smart choices. For now the boat, the dog and some good music will do.

Can I have them please?

Search and Replace!

Wish life had something like search and replace! You have this whole past behind you which sort of decides what happens in the present and future. You know your life would be a lot better if you hadn't done certain of those things in the past.

Why couldn't there be a search and replace in life! You realize that you had not done certain things the way you wanted to and now you want to change it. You want to change it to make things better.

How convenient it would have been!

Life and What you want to do with it!


I think i have figured it all out.

I think if you can get yourself busy doing something you like, be healthy and find people to share what you have got, you would be called a success.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Where is the DVD


I was here at this supermarket looking for DVD disks. You know the ones on which you can store loads of stuff. So here I was, roaming around the whole supermarket searching n searching. Now I could find a lot of empty CDs - 10 packs, 25 packs, 50 packs and all, but no DVDs.

So I spot this sales guy in red-blue attire. Boy! what a cranky attire. Incidently, I was wearing something like that too. Only, I had stripes, so it looked good. Coming back to the DVDs. So I see this sales guy and then I ask him in English. Where can I find the DVDs. He says, even without thinking - last rack sir! I'm like so wowed and so happy, I rush to the last rack, but no DVDs. Something must have been wrong. So I spot another another sales guy down the aisle in the same cranky attire. I walk down the aisle - not like i was gonna marry him or something. I looked him in the eye and said "where can i find some DVDs".

He leads the way, down the aisle, right where i came from and just like a showman, introduces me to a whole rack and says - "Here are the DVDs". I'm like, blinking like a mongoose. I see a huge rack, lots of boxes, but no DVDs. I ask him again. I want Dee Vee Dees. He replies back - "This is all we have sir". I look again at the rack. Something must be wrong. I stand there for about 7 seconds, scratching my head, blinking, wiggling my toes and then lightning strikes.

DVD players! I was standing in front of DVD players. Holy christmas tree!
