I was watching a movie today--"Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift". I've been trying to watch this movie for quite some time. I borrowed the DVD from a colleague, a long, long time ago. At the beginning, I was pissed off at the poor print, and lack of correct subtitles. Then I kinda stopped watching movies as a whole, and the DVD was gathering dust whilst remaining stationed in my rack.
Today, after getting heart broken by the incident of graphics card destroyal, I decided to quit playing games with my computer! She gave me a lot of pain and financial losses, and now I've started to believe that my game freakiness has definitely got a role to play in that. Anyways, after watching the movie for around 15-20 minutes, mom called me for taking the afternoon snacks. I went there, took the food, ate it fast and returned to watch the remainder. I was prepared to spend a boring, or in other words, quiet afternoon plus evening at home being a couch potato.
But I noticed that a buddy tried calling me, and the cell is displaying 1 missed call. So I called him, and found out that a hangout sessions has been arranged for, and all the participants are on the verge of reaching the destination.
So I sped off, ignoring the homies. I reached the adda place within a very short time frame. When I got back, it was 9:30 PM. I started watching the movie again, only to be interrupted again within 45 minutes for dinner. After dinner, I couldn't watch more as the electricity went off at 11 PM. The electricity was off for 1 hour. During this time, I read the book that I borrowed from Sujit today.
It's called "Himur Aaj Biye". I wasn't really expecting an extraordinary story, or an intriguing tale--all I wanted was a decent Himu story. To many of us (belonging to an ageing generation), the characters Himu and Misir Ali are very dear. No matter how crappy Humayun Ahmed has become, no matter how many times he employs Shaon in his natoks and cinemas, we still can't put away a new Himu or a Misir Ali book when they come near to our visible area.
Unsurprisingly, it's the same plot involving Himu playing cat and mouse games with the police, confusing his Khala and Khalu, shamelessly flirting with a girl only to create a situation where she can marry the person she loves (or get married to someone who really loves her).
However, I liked one part of the book. There's this character called "Khur Aslam" who's a deft criminal who's good with the shaving tool called khur. Apparently he stabs people and robs them. Anyways, he was saying that getting beaten is actually a good thing, because you know that good times are coming ahead. Once the beating is over, you feel pleasant and happiness surrounds you.
This is actually true. Life would not be so good if it was all rosy and stuff. When I was sweating from the lack of electricity and the presence of a pathetic generator powered slow revolving fan, the only hope that kept me reading on was that after an hour, I will go to my room with a glass of Virgin cola with 3 ice cubes, I will turn on the AC and set it to the lowest temperature, and I will finish watching the movie.
As the book was an easy reading, it kept me engaged for the whole 1 hour. Surprisingly, I finished reading the book at 11:58 PM, and the electricity came back at 12.
Nice way to end a vacation in the middle of the week. I'm happy.
