1. Watched Roses at the Lido PVR, Juhu. Oh I LOVE that theater! I had gone there for the first time. It was drenched in yellow lights on the outside and it is smallish. I think only 3 or 4 screens, not sure. Each screen has a few seats, they are all massively spread out, and it is just so cozy and lovely! And it's perfect for me. Not as far as Fun and Infinity that I used to visit often, not as local as Globus. Also the Juhu Lido PVR at least promises to screen movies that don't involve people in latex and capes. It really does feel like Goldilocks variant of a theater.
2. I liked the movie but mainly because of the cast. Honestly I thought the Michael Douglas was better paced and I had been more invested in the story, etc. But then I was young and unmarried. Now I am older and divorced. So am sure there is something to be said of your life affecting your choices.
3. I was really unwell...have been unwell for a while now. But Friday was particularly bad. I slept off the whole day. Work has been slow so I didn't expect anything to come my way. Turns out those are the days when things do come your way with a tight deadline. I was supposed to complete it by the end of the day but I asked for the first half of Saturday to finish it. I did that. It was good. I like writing video scripts.
Here are all the things that I am grateful for:
1. Papa is well. I did not meet him because he had gone out. This was a surprise for me - that regular programming has been resumed. I felt a little disappointed but I now see it as a chance to break a pattern for emotional reactions. So, not sure if I did a good job of that. But I tried to do the job. And that is something.
2. I was listening to some music in the auto on the way to Vashi. It was awesome but then there was some problem with the network and my phone stopped working. I thought I would just observe my thoughts. It was a painful cacophony in there! That was crazy. I thought I had much of my thinking under control especially during times when I was peaceful. Turns out,no. It was like watching a jungle of micro-organisms under a microscope. It was fascinating.
3. When we were going over a bridge, I saw a plane descending to land. It looked so elegant and peaceful. On the other side, there was a dusty lorry with a loud bearded man in henna-colored hair. Sometimes I feel it is quite clear and obvious that we are not living in one reality. It is just not possible. And I don't even mean metaphorically or philosophically. I mean actually. We are, at any moment, stepping on one cobblestone of reality while multiple other realities along different dimensions and timelines and personality multiverse exist. Right then and there. Then you just step to the right or the left or straight ahead. Or even back. Living is like a bit of a hopscotch.
4. Weather was fantastic.
5. Had a great lunch. There was a lot of carbs but that's all good. (I will get onto more protein tomorrow or next month onwards.) But today I had soyabean cutlet, rice, fried chilli, salt, daal,aloo and striped gourd poshto. Awesome!
6. Reached home safe and sound. The cab guy was going too fast at first but later it was okay. I just love entering my Bandra. I love it so so so much. It's a cozy, peaceful little best lines with love and truth and peace. At least enough of it that the fledgling of gentleness in me is still kept alive while the rest of me turns granite or grey stone. Who knows? One day it will hatch.
