dC vice.
another killer week. made more so by some very awesome mails and special people calling up from different parts of the world. thanks CC (whoever's idea the cc 05 destiny reunion was:)), cileia and ck.
more basketball, chilling, deep discussions, contemplations, struggling on decisions and new discoveries. also the realization that (thank god)- i have SO still got it:) dont ask what it is ive got, ive just still got it....(once again, i hope 20 years later when i read this i know what it is i was talking about)
highlight of the weekend was undoubtedly advaita's performance on friday night (more on that in the next post) after a fun-round of drinks with my office colleagues. Calibrated is expanding into a number of diverse verticals and the excitement around the same is infectious. New partnerships in areas of clinical research, healthcare and legal services (the latter being my baby) are looking to prove to be areas of tremendous potential....I plan to make a portion of this blog into a legal and knowledge process discussion forum as well, so if interested, keep your eyes pealed on this space. The idea will be to highlight best case practices, provide industrial insights and generally to provide and inspire opinion around wave 2 of the BPO ruckus.
jaipur this weekend. all im going to say is wooooohoooooo! :)
Saw United 93 and miami vice this past week. Both brilliant, must-watch movies in my opinion. The former being a blow-by-blow on the ground account of the events that unfolded on 9/11 from the eyes of the hapless military command base, along with the NY, Boston and Denver air traffic control personnel. The humanization of the terrorists was a significant and gutsy touch, not to mention the heart-wrenching portrayal of the final scenes aboard flight U93. I was moved, and my heart goes out to the unbelievable courage of the men and women aboard that flight.
"lets roll"
Miami Vice. take all you've ever witnessed in regards the gritty, slick cop drama. Wrap it up in aluminum foil and hope that the stray dogs outside eat it before it wilts under the sun.
farrell and fox throw up an absolute epitomy of clinical bad ass undercover portrayals one can hope to see. its not just their raw and unabashed acting, the photography (cutting across miami, cuba and columbia) was to die for. the violence was bloody real (literally), in your face and yet extremely slick. stop and go moments delivered by michael mann left you begging for more and with the soundtrack humming in my ear, I'm singing along to the thrash rock rendition of phil collins classic 'ive been waiting for this moment, all my life....oh lord...'
Gong li was a bit rigid, taking nothing away from the fact that she is unbelievably beautiful transpiring memories of her powerful performance in memoirs....
saturday was dinner at shahanas and lounging at aura with the gang. great fun and ive come to love the claridges as was once in the olden days of midnight sneak outs for coffees and buffets; known only to the gutsy at heart and fearless at will through the law-breaking days in grade school:)
changing lanes.
in a momentary break of wisdom, would god question his creation? would the sculptor find fault in the deformed carcass of moulded clay and mud? why must some things in life be so simple, and others so very hard? why?
why must heart break come to those who have loved so much. let those hearts shatter that never gave, never received. let not my bruised soul be wounded by your balms, but by embraces so secure that I be lost in thier tranquility, soundly asleep with the torrid winds of expectation, of pressure, of longing, of needing - howling around me....never reaching me...

Hey there,
I saw United 93 as well. Although it was touching I still don't feel they answered some people's main questions like, how they were able to call from mobile phones and where the plane wreck went. :-/
But yeah, it was touching nonetheless. i really had a weird moment of self-reflection after because I realized I don't know whom I would call if that kind of thing happened to me.
Cheers,
Erica

Still want to see those movies too, even though I second Erica on this one about the real facts. Or maybe I'm just too intrigued by loosechange911.com :-s
Have you seen the new Superman yet? :-D
