Romantic Comedies

You've Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, Notting Hill, Nine Months... well, the list goes on... I love this genre of movies. Being an avid movie buff, I watch almost all kinds of movies. My choices are romantic comedies, magic/fiction, science/fiction, action and horror in that order. I really hate the tragic movies - my personal opinion is that after watching a movie, you should feel refreshed, happy and light at heart! And that's exactly what a romantic comedy does for me.

I watched "You've Got Mail" on DVD yesterday! A great movie - moves really well... emotions shown so well... and Meg Ryan, of course. She's not all that cure and pretty, but she is attractive. I feel there is a slight difference between "being attractive" and "being pretty". A person who is really beautiful may not be attractive, and vice versa. The classical example of being attractive, but not all that pretty is my favorite heroine - Kajol!

Anyway, back to the topic of romantic comedies, the one thing about these movies is that they all have a happy ending! I believe that whatever happens in life, happens for the best.
Of course, it may not be the thing you want to happen right now, but I guess, in the long run, it is the best thing to happen for you. Romantic movies are usually centered around this idea. And I believe that "being happy" is the most important thing in life. So, if watching a movie makes you happy - go ahead, get yourself involved, identify yourself with the characters and be HAPPY! And that's why I love romantic comedies - they are the "feel good" type of movies... which make us forget our depressions and sadnesses in life at least for a brief period. And they make me love life more! I repeatedly realise that life is short and I have to enjoy it, let my loved ones know that I care and such things... Anyway, I guess I'm waiting to watch my next DVD - "Sleepless in Seattle"... I am a hopeless romantic I guess... :)

A long long time... updates!

I know it has been a long time since I blogged. I will surelay make it a point to blog at least once a week from now on! Well, a lot of stuff has happened over the past few weeks... The "freaking-out" days are over. Let me start over from the beginning of August. After the 2-day trip to the Yellowstone National Park with my uncle and aunt, I had my graduation ceremony on the 5th. Sumeet, my aunt and uncle, my bro Abhi, friends.... it was fun! The sad part was that I had to leave Dallas... Dallas has been really great for the two years I have lived there! Great place, great friends, everything within 15-30 minutes... it was real fun!

Everything has to change... as I've heard so many times, change is the only constant thing in life. I started my visits to Austin and LA before the trip to my final destination - "San Diego". Austin was cool - had fun with Abhi and Sumeet there, watched some movies, practised driving, did a bit of shopping for Abhi... That weekend I left to LA - my cousin's birthday there... that was good. The party was great - lots of people... and lots of fun. In LA, I just spent time reading some stuff online or chatting with my friends or just lazing around in the house...

And finally, moved to my new house in San Diego on 27th after a brief house hunting trip earlier that week. The trip was cool - I used the Amtrak train service - the view of the ocean on one side of the track was awesome... San Diego is really a great place to live in (of course, I still love Dallas), the place is expensive, but still it is worth it I guess... I started my work on Monday - work seems to be interesting too... hopefully, it remains so for a long time! In the last weekend (long one), I missed out on a trip to San Francisco with my friends... but did a fair bit of shopping for the house with my roomie... the house is almost completely furnished now; just got to arrange some stuff and everything should be almost done by this weekend!

I will sign off now and will write here soon! ' got some work to do you know! ;)
