Been feeling Blue

Whispers of sorrow
Here today, back tomorrow
Can not be explained
-- Unknown.

The last few days, i did not wish to write, did not wish to check mails, did not wish to go online and chat with friends, did not wish to do anything - i just existed. I can't specifically pinpoint on something, because life never, in the first place promised to be a bed of roses. I just found myself in a cloud of gloom.

The greatest blessing is the one and only 'R' - who gave me his smiles, each time he found me without one. I don't know what good i have done, to deserve a caring, loving, understanding friend and companion. He is truly a miracle in my life. Thanks a ton, 'R' for the wonderful movies you select for me. I can never ever thank you enough for all the things you do everyday.

The positive way of looking at dolor, i found in Ecclesiastes, 7:3. "Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness the countenance of the heart is made better."

Watched a couple of great movies with the exception of one - The Fur, stopped it halfway through, would never recommend it. The good ones are
"Nights in Rodante" - sentimental romantic love story;
"He's Just Not That Into You" - funny, comical - the one scene that brought me tears and joy - when Ben Affleck proposes to Jennifer Aniston; Memorable weekend flic.
"The Shawshank Redemption" - amazing movie, i have to dedicate a blog on it.
"The Saint" - loved it. Truly brilliant.
"The Green Mile" - watching it and loving every bit - can't wait to see how this one goes forward.

Felt too bad for "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Saint" - who lost it to "The Titanic" and "Forrest Gump". All the four are the greatest movies, without a doubt, the ones that make to the Top 100 best movies ever... but i only wish the first two were released at different times, because they did deserve tons of accolades too.

On a more sombre note, attended a funeral - a spiritually humbling exercise. It is mysterious.

And all along the path to the cemetery the round dark heads of men crowded silently, and black-scarved faces of women folk, wistfully watch at the banner of death, and the mystery.
- D. H. Lawrence

My time was come! My days were spent! I was called away-and away I went! (Unknown)- "Appen" seemed to say from nowhere. But he did have a blessed long devout life, and left behind a larger family of children and grand children.

That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet. - Emily Dickinson
