Lazy Weekend

I had a marathon weekend watching all 3 Bourne movies (Identity, Supremacy and Ultimatum) on DVD, and all I can say is Oh, Wow !.....

The movie(s) were great, and action packed. Matt Damon is very suited to play Jason Bourne. I wish I had more time, then I could have a Bourne Re-run weekend ....

It's my Birthday

Praise Almighty, for the life he has given me. On 12th October 2007, I am privileged to say I have been blessed on earth for 40 years.

I have had many experience's that has enriched my life so far. All that, I hope will make me a much better person in this life.

Since, it was the eve of Syawal, end of blessed Ramadhan month, I spent my birthday cleaning the house in preparation for the Eid.
My children were quite excited that it was my birthday, and they quickly created ad hoc birthday cards, t'was choooo chweet of them. Took the whole family out for dinner at their favorite restaurant, "The Chicken Rice Shop".

Hope, I am blessed to see another year here on Mother Earth.

Motivation gets you started, habit keeps you going.

Makes you wonder if...

It's been quite sometime since I watched a Bollywood movie played by Aamir Khan that I really enjoyed, last being "Dil Chata Hai" .
Last Weekend I finally got to watch "Rang de Basanthi" or in English "Paint it Saffron" which was released in January 2006 . This movies was on my watchlist of movies to see, and finally got a fair copy of the DVD last weekend.

Cutting a long story short, it was about making changes where it mattered and how it matters to a citizen.

Whether the timing of the movie or the choice of movie chosen that made me to reflect on the current use or misuse of tax payers monies by the Government and all the noise of abuse of power and corruption ( I am being verrryy diplomatic here)

Quote from the movie that will stick in my memory for a long time now

"There are only two ways to lead your life -- Either, let things happen in their own way, keep tolerating it. Or, take responsibility to change it"

Money isn't everything but it's way ahead of whatever's in second place
