Love Story

14th Feb. This post is about yesterday. I was too bored to login yesterday. So it happens today. Do I believe in days like this..?V day, Brown day, Black day, Madman’s day:).. I think I would like to invent a day every day and find a reason to wake up with something special on my day’s agenda.

It’s a damn old debate. I don’t care if we call it valentine’s day or dagdoo’s day. If it manages to make me feel happy so it be. There have been days that were not any V days and yet I was happy and in love with life . There were days when it wasn’t any V day and I still felt absolutely lonely.

Yesterday I saw some bit of the film Love Story, based on Eric Segal’s work Love Story. I like that book a lot.

What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died?That she was beautiful. And brilliant. That she loved Mozart and Bach. And theBeatles. And me.

You are a good Christian girl? I am good and I am a girl. That makes it 2 out of 3. I can’t imagine there is a world beautiful than this one with Mozart and Bach here.
( I am taking this line from the film, can’t recall the exact line for this one in the book.)

I like the book for these lines( 1st one is the best) and some other ones. I like the book. So yesterday I pampered myself with 20 minutes of Love Story, the film. I think I like the book the best. I liked the way the film opens with the same lines as the book What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died? The actor has done a good job with the lines. I was worried the film would have messed the lines.

My V day began with trying to win a Taxi driver’s heart, so that he could take me to the conference I was supposed to be attending. At least 15 cab guys broke my heart and goodness of a good friend finally took me to the place. Mumbai has become its hot and humid self again.

The conference was organized in a ballroom of some ITC Grand Central. It is one of my crazy dreams. I want to go ballroom dancing once in my lifetime. Under the chandelier, I want to feel like the most beautiful woman in the whole world. :) and yes this time around I want to keep my eyes open and dance…I feel very beautiful in a rich Saree too. I have experienced that. I will see to it that my dream is realized some day. Maybe when I fall in love some day..

    err...it couldn't have. Its the book which is based on the film screenplay.

    "Mumbai has become its hot and humid self again."

    Nice...I left it at the right time I guess.

    PS -- Dont say 'V' Day...it feels like you are endorsing channel V.
