Confessions of A Reluctant Delhiite

Tomorrow sees the India release of the last and final Star Wars movie. While the prequels have been not so great. I mean the best thing one can say about Attack of The Clones is that its not as bad as The Phantom Menace. In spite of that there is still a sense of anticipation for Revenge Of The Sith. A part of me is depressed about the fact that I can't dress up as Jabba and go for a show but still I do feel the call. I'm all agog about seeing the movie tomorrow and its very much the highlight of my weekend (Forgive me the Gunner Gods for relegating the FA Cup Final to second place). Watch this space for further news.

Having just got off the phone with a old friend I now feel positively ancient. The said old friends kid brother is getting married. Having watched the young lad grow up it comes as a extremely rude reminder of my age that he's getting married now. And that too at a fairly decent age in his late twenties.(Oh Sod It - Twenty Eight). What'll really get me reaching for my easy chair and cane is if I discover any of my old friends kids are getting married. I think I can feel myself slipping from the role of the middle aged spread to a dirty old man.

And on another note "Kya Kool Hai Hum" is completely time pass stuff. Insanely thoughtless while at the same time entertaining. A perfect recipe for a Hindi Film.

These are the times that try a man's soul. Having been in a slather of anticipation over some work and now that its actually being implemented leaves me cold. Having spent the better part of 2 weeks in Mumbai - Thats on work too makes me realise how fairly boring life is in Dilli. Wonder what is it that precludes me from going out and making friends like I have in Mumbai. Hmmmm????
