On the 17th of October 2005 my life changed. A blood report on that rainy bangalore day reveals to me what I feared. It said I may have Acute Leukemia. Two days later it was confirmed.

Like those last immortal words by Alex in "A Clockwork..." I was cured alright... (I Guess!)

Weekly Movie Watch WMW 001 All Quiet On The Western Front (1930) Starring: Lew Ayres, Louis Wolheim Director: Lewis Milestone Based on Erich Maria Remarque's timeless, pacifistic anti-war novel, this poetically brilliant epic about the horrors of war was hugely popular in its day.

God knows why there are idiots in this world and most of them end up in bangalore restaurants. For the first time in my life I saw the dish being served along with a 'SPOON' and 'FORK'. Yes you read that right. But that was not all. This lady, pretty good-looking with you-look-once-i-put-up-my-price eyes and her companion (Could be her husband), prepared themselves for the attack. The guy took the fork and the spoon and started to kill the roti (and to an extent my apetite).

The lady on the other hand for some unknown reason (or it could be that I was eyeing her and she was aware of that) wouldn't do without them. She picke...
