Hairy Identity…

The number of men I know who have a mustache has for some reason dropped to scary levels. Interestingly most of them who continue to retain the facial hair are mostly from my dad’s generation… The reason I bring this up is that lately another request other than “Gain some weight, Haas!” has been gaining speed. The number of people that have told me to shave off my mustache is shockingly increasing!

A couple of days back I was visiting acting class(It has become a case of ‘visits’ lately :( ). I was interacting with the new batch of students there for a while. I am not very impressionable person, so highly doubt that people would remember me from seeing me once and not talking to me.

“Pottered” Board

Harry Potter OnBoard!!!!

My cousin is a huge fan of the Harry Potter Series… During a recent conversation she told me that in a little spare time in her class they had tried to write every character name and spell from the books on the board of the class! I asked her to pass me the pics they took after they were done. I have uploaded the pic and what can I say… It had me speech less.

This supposedly one of the intermediate stages of the process, I will post the pictures when I get the rest of them :)

Till then you can tell me the names they have missed… “Hermione Granger” was the most common one they forgot!

Paranoia

Over the past few weeks I have slowly become increasingly paranoid about my health. The situation has almost gone out of hand lately… I feel a niggle somewhere and next think Im thinking is “Im gonna get sick” and couple of days later I am!

I have no idea how I got this… I used to pride myself for thinking positive and not worrying about things… Looks like stress has found me out. The sad part is that it is slowly controlling my life and I hate that :(

I seriously need to do a lot of de-stressing as soon as possible… My current mission is to quite literally ‘Chill Out’ for a while :P

Ps: Suggestions on how to chill out graciously will be well received ;)

Recommend 2 Haas – A Video Player

I will be traveling a lot from now on and have finally found the need for a Portable Video Player. So what do you guys suggest I pick up?

My requirements are basically to watch movies/videos and listen to music as I sit idly in the bus, and the device doubling up as a storage device for me to move around data if required.

I am looking at the usual suspects (Apple :P ) and the iPod Touch looks very inviting compared to the iPod Video Classic especially the screen size and the interface. Then again the classic has a larger capacity and probably uses its battery much more efficiently.

Do suggest what specs I should look into before part with my Moolah :P

Words from the Weak…

There is an unique bond created when someone is weak and helpless. A bond that subconsciously unites the helping person with the person in need of help. Its hard and impossible to explain its existence but it does exist.

Maybe its got something to do with comforting the one in agony. Maybe its empathy. Maybe its religious. Maybe its spiritual. Maybe its just a human duty.

Sometimes the bond is stronger when the help comes from someone you least expect it from, from someone you considered in capable of such an act. And once its done it changes the life of the one helped and one helping.

When you are weak and suffering logic does not matter anymore, submission is easier and fear swallows you whole. And then someone offers to share your burden and you then fall in love with that someone. Love in a way that you could have never ever conceived it before. Love born out of respect…

Love that does not demand to their presence nor their affection. Love that makes a silent prayer in your heart for their well being each time you look at them. Love that yearns you to see them smile a little longer. Love that drives you to make them happy even at the cost of your very own…

All for that bond you share now… forever
