3 Idiots - my initial reaction!!! WOW!!!!

WOW!!! Loved it. Such a nice entertainer.... As usual excellent performance by Aamir Khan... Of course the rest of the crew as well. Was transported back to my college days.... The essence of the care-free life of college captured very well.

Of course, there were a few thoughts to ponder as well... Like:
  1. Study for knowledge's sake and not for marks or work.
  2. The focus and pressure of the educational system.
  3. The lack of practical application and simple explanations for complex words/mechanisms!!
You can add any more if you like... But yes that is the crux of the movie. Must see...........

There is another more elaborate post on this almost a decade after I posted this. If you are interested in seeing what I have to add you can read Life lessons that we can take from 3 Idiots.

Surprised!!!

Somehow with the changing priorities in life, I never got to blog about anything for a long long time now. With a daughter (toddler) at home, freelancing job, chat with hubby, visit friends, handwork, and the flare to read books, I never felt the need to sit down to blog. That became my last option in my list of priorities. Especially now that I am no more sitting in front of the laptop for a continuous 8 hours a day where I feel the need to take a break from the current job that I do, I really do not feel the urge to write.

But today, while I was browsing networking sites searching for my friends and trying to reconnect, I noticed that most of my friends, whom I have lost touch with, have started blogging and guess what they blog about!!!!????!!!! COOKING... They post recipes on their blog on a periodic basis. Some of them do it daily while some do it weekly and so on. So many of them who I never thought would get so domesticated ended up posting blogs with cooking recipes... But that is pleasantly surprising as well as it strengthens my thought that cooking is an art.

I do love and enjoy cooking. It allows you play around with the ingredients and create surprisingly fabulous dishes. But there is a risk that you will end up with a charred dish as well. But what is life without a little risk!!!
