A Beautiful Mistake.

The eyes never left the wall, they couldn't. The wall where the evening crimson sun rays illuminated the center piece like a limelight in the dark theater. It was an art, a masterpiece. The world around him stopped as the seconds turned into hours. Each moment glorifying a memory, a gift, which seldom felt like freedom, like solace. It was pure bliss. 

The masterpiece that hung on the vibrant wall was a monochrome picture engulfed in the colors of black and white. It was odd considering the bright color of the wall, but that framed possession could put any background to shame. It was simple yet unique piece. Everything was odd for a normal eye from the wall to the picture, the frame to the color. Everything. That's what made it more exquisite. No. That wasn't the reason.

It was a sunny afternoon. They had gone for a long drive, striking another item from their To-Do-Before-25. They were passing through the hilly landscape of lush greenery and wheat colored  grass . They had to stop and breathe in the serenity. That pleasant air that brushed the golden grass flakes on the hilly side brought the much needed calmness in their tiresome journey . There was something magical and this being their first rodeo, they never wanted to forget this, this memory, this memory of their togetherness, this memory of the beautiful bond they shared, this memory of their happiness. He was an artist, a painter. He would have loved to have his canvas and he could embrace that memory in the crimson colors of serendipity. She was an artist too, a  sculptor. She would have loved a piece of clay and rest would be splendid. But instead she showed him a Polaroid camera, one from her rare collections, an antique gifted by her father on her marriage. They both were artists sure, but they were no good with a camera. They both fumbled and finished the whole film that they had at their disposal. They had a wonderful time, having fun and a lot of memories to remember. 

He feared the worst for the photos, but he found the one that stood out among them. The one which captured her natural self, her happiness, her shimmering beauty in the sunkissed afternoon, the one which was the product of an innocent accidental snap. Everything about her was perfectly tuned in that accidental capture which spoke about volumes about her. He had to cherish this memory, this mistake, this beautiful mistake which to this day brought back all the memories of them both and the years they spent together. Though he lost her a few years back, but he relived every day with her, staring at her.

In a Days' Work.

In a Days' Work, I mean without work.

Diary Entry # 2

My daily routine does't comprise of anything special. I mean nothing at all. It just has eating, sleeping, sometimes reading and then repeat. Yeah! Pretty much it, like I mentioned in my previous posts as well, I guess. So, anyway, I decided to go out somehow. A movie perhaps. That sounded like a good idea. I go online to see the movies that are playing and check the show timings. After checking all out, it was concluded that I'd go for the first show the next morning, which is today. And also I had a free burger coupon at McDonalds, which would expire by this month end. So, if I could go like an hour before the show timing, I could grad my free Burger and later enjoy the movie as well.

The alarm snoozed for like half an hour or so. One of my roommate has to go to office early, like at 0900 hours. That's the normal office timings right! Yeah, I guess. I have never been to office, so far. So, I wake up after half and hour. And the show was exactly half an hour later. Oh,!@#$@#! After cursing for a little while, I check the timings for the next show. That sounded acceptable. So, I get ready to go for the movie.

In the meantime, I got a message from one of my friend. He asks me about what my plans for today. Now there is a little history with this guy. He is just like me, Jobless with a Job. And we pretty much hang out together, sometimes. First time, he asked me about going for Go-Karting to which I agreed to come. And that idea was kept due to the latest possible time available. But when I was going for the IndiBlogger's Meet, he messaged me then asking whether I was up for that Go-Karting or not. To which I had said that I was already on my way to the meet and I can't possibly come to that. So, he referred that  as "Giving a Hand", a sarcastic remark for otherwise known as betrayal/something like that. Second time, he goes to a movie without even asking me. So, I tease him with the same reference which he made at me. Then, suddenly out of the blue I go to a park to click some photos and fortunately there was some event going on there - Flower Show for Republic Day. Luckily, I got a chance to click some amazing flowers that day. And I didn't ask him as I thought he wasn't interested in visiting a Garden. Well, who does, unless you have a gf/bf. Or a Camera, in my case. :P . Now that reference was back at me. 2 counts on my side and 1 count on his. Then, he asks whether we were playing Cricket for the weekend, so that he could also join us. Yeah, of course. We could need an few more players. So, I call him for the game on the weekend. And he was already busy playing one game in the locality. Though he does't like playing there, and he said he would come but never turned up. Now, a point on his side. So, for the next couple of days and weeks, I'd get every possible chance to increase his score. And he has a very high score, if I must say. 

So, when he asked me about my plans for today, I replied that I was thinking about going for a movie. To which he immediately replies with the reference. I tried to convince him that I too wan't sure about going, which I wasn't until he messaged. But he never stopped. saying that I was Giving a Big Hand. I even asked him whether he would come. I knew he wouldn't and replied the same . And anyway, I went to the Movie "A Good Day to Die Hard". Ate a free Burger and watched the movie. 

The Movie.

Total Crushing - The first action scene has so much crushing that I can't even describe. There is this Strong Muscular Hard Metallic Army Truck which smashed into every car on the road. Crushed the hood, the rear, the everything of the car. Total Fatality. If it was in real life, it would cost hundreds of millions of damage. No kidding. The plot was tricky, yet nice. Then of course, when there is Bruce Willis, there is obviously some action and a lot of Guns. So, I would say you should watch that movie, well at least once. It will be worth your money. I stopped speaking about the movie, b'cuz I am too bad at reviewing. 

Pretty much for one day, I guess. Wait! There is some more. Oh No! Sorry, what ? The moon was shining in its beauty and in its full shape, I guess, well it seems totally round and really big and scarily close. I get back to my room after a coffee, get my Camera out and start clicking. Boom! The moon seems to be much smaller than I could see with my naked eye. Even after zooming the maximum extent. Guess what? I need a new and better Telephoto lens. Damn! The wish list keeps piling up and the worst - I haven't struck out even one. #FML. And just a while back, I went to the terrace to get my cloths. And there it is was - Big, White, Shining. I would like to capture that beauty. Dear Camera! You let me down. :(

Random : Life.

My camera is packed and safe inside. I am starting to forget that I own a DSLR. And these days, I get to use it the least. I feel bad, really bad. Because my whole idea of coming here for training was to be able to get some nice snaps. I am either pitballing in the office or scrolling down the sky blue web page famously knows as the Facebook or doing nothing, sometimes. I thought training was supposed to be more like training, but it feels not quite so. 

There are ants. I mean, there are hundreds millions of them. Seriously, give me a break, where do all these come from. The small hard working creatures insects are taking the living hell out of me. The food, which I get once in a month is half eaten by them and they make holes into the packets. That isn't cool. I just can't sacrifice all the time, can I? Whats more? I don't understand what business do they have inside my laptop. They just keep going inside it. Now, just one came out of the keyboard and went inside. Seriously, what's wrong with these ants? And what is that with ants biting ? These are everywhere. Bathroom, bed, under the bed, clothes, undergarments, in bags, and the list is endless. Or probably, I should be telling the places they aren't. There is no such place. 

I bought a trilogy. I completed two and could have started the third one. But thought it would be better for the journey. Fifty Shades of Grey, EL James. I wonder whether there are people looking that good. If you read it, you will understand. But I don't recommend you to read unless you are of appropriate age. 

Last time I checked, I had pretty much good amount left in my bank. But yesterday, I was surprised to find it almost empty. Either I forgot what I spent the money on. Wait a minute, I remember giving money at various occasions, and not a little amount either. Giving in the sense paying for food. But that much is way out of too much. Now, seriously I don't have a penny left. 

A hair cut is due. Not exactly a haircut, more like styling. I got time today, I mean I could have made some time if the above mentioned point was otherwise. I like long hair and would keep it that way. And if someone lectures me about professional grooming about long hair, I might deal differently. 

I spent the last few bucks on buying air, I mean Lays and chocolates. Am I crazy? Damn right, I am. I just realized that. 

Suits, White Collar and Burn Notice. Now on my watch list. The internet is becoming too costly for me. It could pay off some child's education fee for a year or may be more. Why don' I get some free internet with super high speed. I am an internet addict, I know that. So some one provide free internet. And also you might have figured out I am a Tv-Series Freak. I have most of the series. And am interested in increasing the numbers. Suits has an unexpected twist in the tale. The next week would make it clear and it is the last episode this season, I think. White Collar is on the roll and is smooth as of now. Burn Notice, I thought the series ended, until today when I read somewhere about the show yesterday. It begins now after I post.  

There are really freaky twisted insects in my room. I get one each day. And once in a while it makes me jump when it sits on my shoulder. Give the man a little peace of mind, you insects.

It seems like I have decreased the followers count. May be because I am not reading theirs. I wish I had time. Or at least those sites weren't blocked at office. Come on, give blogger a pass, will you? And now that only a few comment, the people who comment have also gone down. And I also appreciate the people who find time to comment. And Thanks to the people who reply to my replies. I really appreciate that. Thanks.
