K: Hi Indra, How are you?
Me: I am good, thank you. How are you, K?
K: I can’t complain. Well, I can complain.. But, you can’t help me.

Smiles all around. A light moment. And then we stuck our heads back into the monitors for the rest of the day.

She is everywhere... Isn’t she?

What is common between the God, Cockroach and Aishwarya Rai?
They are omnipresent.

Car coming

The ‘Car Coming’ signal starts beeping and blinking almost every time I walk along the car park of the apartment. And almost on every one of those occasions, I find no car moving around in the car park. Now, I don’t really believe that there are ghosts that are so bored that they would want to haunt a car park. A CAR PARK, of all the places. Why would any sane ghost haunt a car park? Have you ever heard about a crazy ghost? Well, I haven’t. Ghosts may haunt apartments. But never the car parks in the apartments. ‘P’ says that his apartment is haunted. I think I should blog about it sometime. But that is a different story. The point is - Ghosts in car park is out of the question.

The question on hand is - Why does the ‘Car Coming’ signal go off when I walk in the car park? May be the signal circuitry have gone gaga or I have started hallucinating again. When I am not in the car park, the signal beeps only when a car is around the corner. ‘A’ confirmed it.

What could be the reason? I guess the signal should be set to function based on some sort of sensor. The opening of the gate is not the trigger for the signal. I checked it. Is there some weight sensor on the floor that trigger the signal when cars move on them? May be. But why is it triggered when I walk over it? Am I as heavy as a car? Damn. Even the car sensor knows that I am overweight.

Watched this movie recently. Through the course of the movie, heard myself uttering ’What the ...’ in almost all tones known to humankind. And then, towards the end of the movie, I found it quite engaging. Did the movie actually got better in its later parts, or was it one of the quickest forms of evolution that I adapted myself to enjoy the movie?

Highlights of the movie:
- Amithab’s ridiculous costumes. Anyways, his hairstyle looked like mine :) All I have to do is stop colouring my hair and I will get his hair colour in the movie.
- Lara Dutta’s fake French accent. It was cute.
- The title song. It felt like the whole movie was constructed around that song. It kept popping up all through the movie.

I wonder how the movie fared at the box office.
