I am running away from reality, as fast as i could.
and trying not to look back, so as to prevent my eye from tearing.
Of monsoon evening rains, Asian horror movies and nail enamels...
Thursday, May 24, 2007
I think there ought be a schedule for the monsoon. Its really annoying that it starts raining somewhere around 4 and stops at 6-6:30, only to start again around 7. After perhaps 9 in evening, the sky is clear and everyone in this lazy town are asleep. After the last post (which is a total FICTION with my ever so not-so-subtle hint that I don't like to get drenched in rain...) I think I have got drenched in rain three times now. That makes thrice in last four days. How is that for a record huh? Because of rains I am mostly cooped up in my room watching an Asian horror movie with English sub-titles. (As am writing this, am watching Suicide Club and Death Note - both Japanese horror movies.) My father was asking my last evening (when I was watching Memento Mori for about ninth or tenth time) my reason for Asian horror obsession. At that moment I couldn't really think of any creative answer and just answered "time pass". After I started watching "Death Note" I realized the complex emotions of the characters. In fact this is true for most of Asian horror movies. Thats what captivates me the most. The story is never (mostly) the same and the characters are flawed. Haven't I mentioned that flaw is the most beautiful feature of a person? Each story reflects socio-economic-cultural beliefs and laws as influenced by an individual. Its complex....like me I suppose. The time I spend in waiting for the movie to buffer in web page is utilized to change the shade of my nails for both hands and toes. I meticulously change nail polish for my feet; only to be covered in cotton socks next morning. Weird...no? Monsoon evenings are pretty lousy but mornings are great. 1 comments
