Movies and Series

I am no more tech lead.. my project changed... yay!! and its a European project now but i haven't been asked to apply for a visa yet means i wont be going onsite for the project.

Princess is back but now i am happy .It is not bugging me much these days .In Ramzan, I must have a car otherwise it becomes so difficult to reach Rahat Bakery . trust me people, the chicken pakoras from Rahat are really amazing. They sell them during Ramzan only and they are really expensive ..350 Rs. per kg. At certain places you can have a proper Iftar-cum-dinner buffet at less than that ..There is a restaurant near my office where they offer it for Rs. 300 only. Now that is a big difference.

Last weekend i simply stayed in bed watching movies and series. Watched one complete anime Death Note. It has 37 episodes and is great.The story starts when a shinigami (death god) drops a book , death note, in the human world. The book has the power that if you write any person's name in it , he or she will die. Now this kind of a start of a story gives an idea that the anime will be magical / fantasy type but it completely changes it genre when the story evolves . It turns into a suspense as the police starts to hunt for the owner of the book when all the criminals in the city start to die by themselves. Its a blind hunt as they don't know the murderer, neither his location nor his method of killing so they have to find a way to reach the person who is killing everyone around the world. Its a good suspense. Do watch.

I also watched Khuda kay liye, the movie by Shoaib Mansoor. I watched a pathetic print but its good. The story is not as good as a Shoiab Mansoor movie should be . The whole story goes very smooth. You wont find much twist , It just goes on and on and then ends. Many things are predictable and you don't find any big element of surprise. It just seems like a normal PTV drama but still its much much better than general Pakistan films. One character of the movie who leaves his family for Jihad training reminds me of my time when i was tableeghi. The brainwashing of the young minds by the molvies has been shown in a very very good manner. The way they manipulate religion for their own benefit and look down upon the ones who do not listen them has been represented in the way it really is.

I also watched a movie Sunshine. Its a science fiction and don't watch it if you like science fiction. Infact , don't watch this movie if you like watching movies.

And i watched Blades of Glory. Its a light and funny movie. The story is about two ice skaters who decide to pair up for a championship after they are banned from performing solo. Thus they form the world's first men's pair. The movie is a good comedy.

There is also a cool anime Ergo Proxy that i am watching these days. Its good. The thing about animes is that sometimes you have to tolerate them for a while. Then they become very interesting. Ergo Proxy is difficult to understand in the beginning but it gets interesting later.The story is set in future when robots likes servants have become a part of the society and there is a virus that is infecting robot machines with "human emotions".The sound track is very cool. Its a good and stylish anime. will complete it by the end of this week.

3rd Season of Prison break is out and 2nd Season of Heroes is out. Prison break is going slow.Heroes now seems boring. The last episode of the first season left a very bad taste.If they have to show a pathetic end, why bother watching the show. but anyways, i hope this season's ending will be good.

I havent played starcraft for so long. Thats why i watched so many movies and series.Its good that i dont have DSL in islamabad. right bodi? Losing weight is not the only reason for avoiding DSL at home.

Mr. Tech Lead

Yo! I couldnt write for so long. Lazy me!! let me skim through my recent past quickly.

Of Office

I recently got the role of the offsite tech lead of my project but that just means an increase in responsibilities not an increase in pay . Anyways, it all went good. I earlier had some problems managing things but then i found ways to make my life easy.

I also got a new laptop. Dell latitide D620. Its core 2 duo with 2 GB Ram with a wide screen. I havent felt any difference in this laptop and the old one Dell 610 yet.

Of Princess

Theoratically, the princess was sold (wait!!.. dont start celeberating yet) . My mechanic found a person who wanted to buy the car but because of my laziness i took nearly a month to leave the car to the mechanic place. I left the car with mechanic last week and then he told me this week that the person has already bought another car so now i have to get the car back from mechanic and have to find a buyer again . The curse is not over yet. You guys are not praying properly for me

Of the Trip

I went to a trip with my old fellows of PTA. It was a fun trip to Kashmir. The places we visited had strange names so i dont remember them . The place was so beautiful . just staying there and looking at the scenes makes you so relaxed .In evening we went to a lake and had a good bar-b-que there. I will be getting the pictures soon and will upload it on my facebook.

Of Starcraft

I started playing starcraft +warcraft 3 with office mates and have earned a good name already. Bodz and KB went on a starcraft tournament and were eliminated quite early in the tournament. This means that the people whom i idealize in the art of starcraft and who are my teachers in the game  - even they have a long way to go.   but anyways , this cant make me stop playing the game.

Bodz posted a great deal about the tournament on his blog. Seeing his pictures with KB

 ,

i felt so nostalgic. I wish i could be with the two of them. Why dont I get assigned on a europeon project .

Of Ramzan

Ramzan has started. Passing this month when you are living alone is no fun at all. Iftari is something that i can easily pass by going out somewhere but for Sehri the lazy me has to get up to make things to eat .Anyways, I hope this month will pass soon.
