With aid in mind

My mom and I just watched Beyond Borders, frankly, I thought it was really good. But I think this guy describes it best… I would call it a must watch… maybe not more then once… and yes, there are errors… but, truly, it’s the point that counts. Why don’t more people get that?
I don’t really want to get up on a soapbox here. Mainly because it’s very late and I should go to bed - you all know how eager I usually am to shove my views in everyone’s face (if not down their throats, which I hope I don’t do…) but let me just say… every one of us is capable of doing something, no matter how small and seemingly insignificant, to help this world and all who call it home.
It’s ours and it’s our responsibility.
These last two years alone we have seen more death and devastation then anyone should in their lifetime. War, famine, flood… u name it, we faced it. And yet… here we are, enjoying our tiny little lives, blinkers firmly on. While millions do nothing but survive. More then 230000 lives were lost in the Asian Tsunami, many more destroyed. Hurricane Katrina killed mercifully few, but displaced thousands… and we cannot even begin to guess the death toll created by George Bush’s ‘War on Terror’.
Everyday people live with the realities of loss, starvation and disease. Is it too much to ask, that each one of us privileged enough – and truly we are - to have everything we need. Family, food, shelter, clothing… is it too much to ask that we spend one moment of time, one thought, one action, to help those in need?
I don’t think so… and the various aid efforts we have seen in the recent past should prove that. So please, do your bit.

We are all the same
Human in all our ways and all our pains
(So let it be)
There’s a love that could fall down like rain
(Let us see)
Let forgiveness wash away the pain
(What we need)
And no one really knows what they are searching for
(We believe)
This world is crying for so much more
- Good Charlotte, We Believe

I’m BAAAACK!!!!!!!!

Hehehe
Hi people! Yes, yes… I know. Sorry for the whole dead blog thing. Explanations are necessary I assume? Well… actually things have just been madly rushed.
Exams got over… then I had a few days off… but sooo much to do in them… after which I pushed off for Hyd, then Goa. (wheeeee! Not – but more on that later.)
Got back to Hyd on the 3rd… and was back home on the 5th. Which was yesterday… well… actually, day before, since strictly speaking today is already the 7th.
Oh! Almost forgot…
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
May it b a great one for all of u. I certainly hope it is for me…
This semester is my final one… bit scary really. Now that I think about it properly I have a lil over 4 months to make up my mind about what I want to do with my life. Not exactly a happy thought. MONUMENTAL decisions must be made. Joy. Ack…
Mo-nu-mental problems is more like it… hehe… ok. Sorry, that was really bad. I know… but forgive me in my moment of weakness…
Also, one must blame any signs of insanity on the late hour.
It’s 4a.m. I was running a fever off and on all day…. WHAT THE HECK am I doin awake??!
Now that is a question I do not have an answer to… along with many others.
For example, why is ‘fruit’ spelt like that? It makes absolutely no sense! If u read that out phonetically… hehe… that’s one funny sounding word. Fruit should be spelt froot. Now THAT would make sense.
As would going to bed… which is what I think I shall do. So gnite folks. Goa and other fun topics at a later date… TA!

dont have anything nice to say

so not gonna say anythin at all...
hehe
will write when the exams are done next wednesday.
bbye till then

note... added on March 19, 2009... LOL... taking advice from a fictional cartoon rabbit... damn... now that's the height of pathetic.

Sigh!!!! Exam time… approaches…

In exactly 12 days to be precise.
Freaking out!
Also have this semester’s Final film due on Saturday… not really in the mood to write…
So. This can just count as a trivial little update. Will have a looong philosophical monologue as my next post to make up for it. :D hehe… just kidding of course… who would want to read that!?

Help! Help! I’m drowning! noooooooooooooooooo…

In slush no less. Yuck. I hate this weather. There is an unending, nasty drizzle, and the amazing ‘road’ outside our house has turned into one giant mud river. Squelch!!!

On another topic… let me apologise for the ‘dead blog’ impression that was going on for the last month or so. Been really, really busy. Exams are looming. In two weeks!!!!!!! Eeek… and we haven’t really finished our portions yet. Therefore LOTS of work. And that’s really understating things. (the drowning comment has duel meaning! Hehe)

Oh, I finally got my last semester results this week… sheesh, talk about disorganised! It’s almost the end of this semester, they lost our original results, so now they’ve given us some other grades???! My college is crap. I swear, they have no clue what they’re doing about 80% of the time. And I’m probably being kind with that estimate…

As you can tell… I am not in a very good mood. Although, there is one thing for us to be grateful for. The prof. we have right now (for Project Fiction, and Sound for Moving Image) is the only faculty we’ve had all sem. who knows ANYTHING! He’s a lot of fun. Class is interesting again :D yay!

We’ve been getting some pretty cool assignments to. Our final project for his class is to shoot a short film. And one of our options is making a Music Video! Which is obviously what I’ve decided to do… but that’s not for a little while yet. We have 3 other assignments to finish by this Monday. A complete pre-prod breakdown for any TV commercial of our choice, a Photomatic – which has to be an ad, and a 1min short film. Actually, I should be working on my 1min film script… will go do that in a bit. Luckily don’t have college till afternoon…. But it’s getting kinda late, so maybe I’ll stop this here and go finish my work. bbye
