Tra-la-la-la I watched few more movies.


Come June 20th. And my daughter would be 4 months old. According to her Mom, She has already started showing her dads’ streaks. My wife says-she absolutely loves anything that’s sweet and I tell her- once she is big enough, we(me & baby) would hide from her(her mom) and have chocolates and ice-creams.I know my wife’s biggest worries would be to manage a toddler and her thirty year old, but juvenile father.

I have a deal with my wife. She has to E-mail me minimum 5 photos of the baby every day, until she joins me here in September and she would be the proud owner of a diamond ring. My wife has agreed. Long live the greed and the carrot and stick theory. Just kidding, the other day, the baby had kept her mom in so much on her toes, that the last thing she wanted to do was to send me emails with photographs attached. And I had to retort to my senti dialogues, about being a father and only a father would understand how it’s to be separated from its child and blah, blah.
Ta-da, There comes photographs of the baby. I absolutely love my wife. I know she would do anything to make me happy, and its not that I don’t understand her lack of time. I miss the baby so much that my eyes ache for a sight of her. And I am forced to take twisted ways.

I watched a dozen movies in the past 2 days, for the reason that I bought a new TV the other day.Oh, I didn’t tell you that? Yes, I bought a new 33 inches LG LCD TV (did I impress you guys), few days back and ever since, I had been glued to it-Like a fly to #&#@(You know what).I have been thinking of buying it for a very long time, but every time I decide on buying, I hear strange voices from somewhere back of my mind, dissuading me, saying- WHAT THE HELL MAN, THE WHOLE WORLD IS CRYING RECESSION,RECESSION, AND YOU AND YOUR WAYS OF INDULGENCE.WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH YOUR OLD 21 INCH TV?WHAT THE F$#@ WRONG WITH YOU !!!!

But finally I went ahead and bought it, and boy, I must tell you to all those who haven’t tried one. It makes a lot of difference. I absolutely love my new TV experience and recommend everyone to do so. I even feel like bunking office to watch some more MOVIES.( But I won’t recommend you that).
Don’t worry, even I don’t have a clue if I would have my job tomorrow or my company has decided to sack me to cut unwanted costs. Let’s Hope for the best.
The list of movies on MNet is just amazing. I watched (yesterday was my OFF) Atonement, The kite runner, Delli 6, Jodha Akbar. ‘Atonement’ was a fantastic movie and so was ‘The kite runner’.Dilli 6 was CRAP.

I have stumbled upon a new way to get good quality sleep at night. No, no new sleeping pills.I have started keeping a thick Penguin CLASSIC Novel beside my pillow and give it a hard Stare before switching the lights off and i effortlessly drift to a ZZZZZZZZZZZ in no time.Call this a serendipity or whatever, it works for me.!!!!!!!!

Humm, That’s it. That’s about all that I have to ramble. Ciao and Have a great Day!!!

P.S: The photograph is of the Baby giving her grandmom( My M-I-L)a hard time.

Your baby looks like you I feel...

I have a 37 inch wall mounted LG LCD TV, so I can very much understand what you are going through. I love it!!! :D

Atonement is a very interesting movie. That child acted SO well! I want to see kite runner now...

Rahul Anand said...

Nice. The joy of watching a good movie.

I have a similar opinion on the movies: Atonement, The Kite Runner, Jodha Akbar were great, and unfortunately Delhi 6 was not executed well (I had expected a lot from R.O. Mehra after Rang de basanti).

Cute baby, looks like a real fighter!! am sure she poses for those shots her mom sends you with glee.

Yah a Big LCD is a delight in every sense, but mine shows cricket and cartoons only..what a waste!!

@Dhanya:Yes, as per my wife and my family, the baby is carbon copy of me. i have a toddler photo of me and i look ditto the same.

Yes, Atonement is very interesting movie. the main character,as young lady is played superbly. Thanks:)))

ZB said...

@Rahul:Yes, The joy of watching a good movie on your new TV is unexplainable, with a pack of tortilla chips, humm heaven.Even i expected much from R.O.Mehra, but the movie failed badly. Thanks for reading:))

ZB said...

@Anju:I know, these years are really amazing, at the fast pace at which the baby is growing. But what to do, my wife doesnt want to join me now, since the weather here is harsh for the baby. hence decided for SEP. I will surely makeup for this separation then.Thanks:))

Beautiful girl! And have a ball with your television. My problem with television is that I am so addicted to blogging that when I'm watching any show I want to leave comments.

Aparna said...

Wow! a 33 inch LCD?!! I am sooo envious. Enjoy it as much as possible now ...won't have any time to watch after the baby comes.She is a cutie-pie.

Anonymous said...

Hmmm...Let's see

Cute baby, nice TV, Adorable Dad. All covered. I read this post yesterday, but somehow I was not able to comment...looks like I am really late..:-(

Love the TV only till the baby and mom get back. Watching a baby grow before you is more fun than a movie anyday... :-)

But yes...A cosy movie viewing with the family after a hard day's(?????) work can be the best in the world under all other circumstances.

Waiting for more pics of the little angel....
