2005

Favorite Moments:
#1. When Saddy confirmed the news of my passing CSS exams in these words “my friend! You made it’.
# 2 If I relate it to the state of mind I was in, I’d say it was probably one of my worst times but when I got a letter of Promotion & Increment from my head office following my resignation, I’d say sun shone just a wee bit brighter.
#3 whole of 25th March was a moment that lasted 24 hours and it was perfect!

Favorite Songs:
#1. In the End by Linkin Park
The album was released in 2000 and this song is a particular favorite of mine. And why this song is here in this list…that’s something only Noreen knows.
#2 Kahani by Strings
#3 Walking Away by LifeHouse

Best Advice: Best marriages are based on best misunderstandings.

Favorite Movie #1
"If a wounded bird flies into your house, you must take in and heal it’.
Ben Kingsley’s character Behrani uttered these words in ‘House of Sand & Fog’. Though the movie was released in 2003, I didn’t get to watch it until a few months ago and of all the movies I watched this year, this is one of the few that I stayed up to watch (otherwise I generally dose off after thirty minutes). And really the only movie that stayed with me.
I loved the splendid scenery. The cinematography was simply breathtaking in its colors and movement. Sometimes, the movement of clouds and changing of shades said more about the story than any words could have. Ben Kingsley proved himself to be an actor of the superlative category. The story was plausible, heartbreaking to the extent that if I cried while watching movies, I’d have cried my eyes out during this one.

‘Laws of Attraction’ was released in 2004 but I watched it about a month back. I have to admit that part of the reason this movie has made its way into the list is because, once again, its one of the movie that I watched from the start till the ‘happy ending’ otherwise I generally fall asleep. Another reason, no matter how unjustified is the fact that both Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore look really nice. Both of them are nowhere near being young and yet they’ve retained their charm. And I liked the fact that though they were two very different people and it wasn’t really circumstances that brought them together, they worked to bridge their differences. Besides it wasn’t a teen flick and nobody was hopelessly in love. The problems really come from within (not like Romeo & Juliette scenario where the whole city becomes your enemy) and need to be tackled from within. And it also proved another point…sometimes you need to get married to fall in love!

Doom
What can I say? I loved the game.
