Hiya,
"A gathering of old men", is a movie that I saw a very long time ago. This particular movie was about a bunch of old men, defending their farm lands against corporates (or something like that). Now this movie was probably made somewhere in the early 90s and I had long forgotten about it - until I saw one such gathering myself today. This was at a coffee shop where I regularly go to draw me some sketches. I was keenly onto yet another bad sketch when I looked to my right. About 8 or 9 men averaging about 50 years of age each were sitting at a table and discussing something with the air of much importance. It took me a while to reckon what movie matched this scenario. You should watch the movie you know..it's a very nice one (except that its a bit slow). I thought this was strange because I'm from India. In India, most old timers think coffee shops are a big waste of time and money (they are expensive anyways). Still, to see a gathering of old men at the most unlikely of places felt strange and likening all at once. Maybe it was time that Indians did start warming up to the idea of coffee places being more than just a rich kid's hang out. It's about time too - its been 9 years to this day since the first of these coffee shops showed up in Bangalore, India.
And, I don't even know why I'm blogging about this. Just felt like it and it's not that I keep the most interesting of journals either. That's about it. Everytime I think of a topic, there's a lot of things I want to write in regards to it, but the second I set my hands down on the keyboard - poof! it's all gone and one nonsensical paragraph is all I can manage to finally put down.
Hiya,
This is me writing this blog post from my new Sony Vaio notebook. This thing is da bomb. I can't believe I waited for 8 long years to lay my hands on one (not that it was the cheapest back then. Yet, here I am - finally typing a post away from work and in privacy. I guess I don't have great stuff to offer right now, but hey who doesn't have writer's block? Yep, me and my Sony. This is a great feeling, you know. Okay.. I exaggerated a little bit. More to come later..
See Ya.
