American Idol 2010

I am a big fan of American Idol, and enjoy watching the show. On Saturday was the 2 hour Finale and I relished every bit of it (Ah maybe there were 2 song sequence I did not). On the whole it was a good end to the 9^th Season. Lee Dewyze won the title. That was another reason I was elated as he has always been my favorite singer ( love the raspy voice and the cute shy personality:)

It was good to see him grow on the show. It was a long journey for him, to be at the place that he is today. From a paint salesman to a rockstar icon-he definitely has one story to tell. One quality that I appreciated was that he took the critique from the judges well. He being a shy guy, just singing on stage would not do, you gotta perform.

Something that comes back to me when I watch these shows, is that in the end there might be just one winner, but each participant has gone back with valuable lessons learnt and fun memories to cherish.

My sister and I screamed for joy when they announced Lee’s name. Here is the link to the video of the Last 5 mins of the Finale Show. Hope you enjoy it like I did:)

Weekends!!!

Its the end of another week:) Always a joy for all working professionals who lookout for those extra hours of sleep on a Saturday morning. This  week went by really fast compared to the last week of craziness at work coz of the admission process(plus 6 days working). I don't have much planned for this weekend but i am still looking forward to it. Just happy yo get out of the routine of getting up and going to work.

Will be spending the day with my parents tomorrow. Need to clean up the place as we just got the house painted. I am always surprised at the junk that gets collected over the years. things that you  usually don't need are kept for no reason( and trust  me there is no sentimental value either). Looking forward to getting rid of all the clutter. One person who won't be very happy, will be my mom. She loves to hoard and I love to un-hoard( i don't even know if that's a word;)

Anyways all in all I guess its gonna be a productive weekend.I just hope that I can catch up with my friends as we have been planning and planning and planning....But the plans never seem to be executed as we have not met up as yet..Oh well...

So all of y'all have a wonderful weekend!!! Ciao for now :)

Iron Man 2

The much awaited sequel Iron man 2 released last week. I remember seeing part one in 2008 and I  fell in love with the character of Tony Stark. Robert Downing Jr is a gifted actor. The credit for Iron man 2 definitely goes to him. The movie has a decent amount of action sequence and of course "the cars". There was a good storyline and I am glad they gave a background history of the Stark Industries.

The addition of  new characters, Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke and Samuel L Jackson did justice to their roles. On the whole it was a decent movie worth your money and would recommend my friends to go watch it.

P.S. All those who did not wait till the credits, there is a scene at the end;)

Monday Blues.. Greens... Yellows...

Call it whichever color u like, but right now I don't feel that great... Maybe its the constant weather change that's affecting my sinuses, or  my urge to do something different. Right now that different could be as simple as just being at home and relaxing and not thinking about the Gas cylinder that needs to be replaced, or the water dispenser that gets empty really fast or even what different can I cook for breakfast apart from omelette and chapati (easy breakfast when you have to leave early for work:)

Its like I am on the go 24/7. I want to stop and smell the roses. But I have been so tired lately that I can barely smell anything when I am on my way back from work.It is definitely a different season right now for me. I am learning to be content in it too, coz life is not always gonna be chilled out and relaxed. Staying on your own does have its own share of responsibilities too (with the fun part of the freedom:) I am glad that I am getting a glimpse of how life will probably be if I do get married and have my own place to take care of.

This week looks busy too, with  mum's 60th Birthday, Mothers day on Sunday and of course the release of the much awaited Iron Man 2:) So learning to rejoice and give thanks to God for all the different seasons:)

P.S. Yup that's me up there..all bonkers;)
