Movie Review: The Martian

It was a long weekend, so decided to take mum out for a movie and thus giver her a break from the daily chores. Initially I had not planed to go for this one as I am not a big fan of space movies. Matt Damon kinda changed my mind;)

The movie is about one of the crew person Mark Watney( Matt Damon) being left behind on Mars and the rescue plan for getting him back. So while the remaining crew people continue on their mission thinking Mark is dead, he is keeping himself alive and busy growing potatoes. How he manages to do that on Mars, for that you will have to go watch the movie.

Fortunately as the movie has many characters and goes back and forth from Mars to the people at NASA, you don't get bored. Mark's in your face sense of humour keeps you from truly feeling sad at his condition. His never to give up attitude helped.

All you science geeks will like the movie for the astrodymamics and any other concepts that a lay person like me might not be aware of;) It made me appreciate the work the people at NASA do and the amount of time they are willing to be away from the ones they love.

All in all great job by Matt Damon, Sean Bean and my favorite Jeff Daniels. A one time watch I would rate this movie a 3.5/5.

Coldplay

Coldplay has always been one of my favorite bands. So here is one song from their recent album:)

I AM ALIVE!!!

Oh well, I think its about time I wrote a post. A lot has transpired in the past couple of months. To start with, I got a new job:) And I must say after a really long time, I am enjoying what I do. The best part being, that I get to work with some really neat people. Apart from that, life in general has had its ups and down-well that's how it should be, otherwise we would all be pretty bored.

Apart from the new job and my new bicycle ( oh yeah I got myself one of those;) I got to attend Awake 2015 ( a youth conference). It was quite a spiritual nourishment to the soul. There were things I really needed to hear and I love how the Holy Spirit can bring conviction to your heart.

So in the midst of all the craziness and transition and change, the only day I got to write down this post is on my day off from work -thanks to the flu. But I thank God for these slow days, makes me appreciate the things I cannot do on normal ones:)

Have a good weekend all of you!!!

Contemporary Dance

I have always been fond of contemporary style of dance dance. I remember there was a time I used to watch some dance series on TV and I developed a liking in this particular style.

Season 2 was probably one of my favorites of You Think You Can Dance. I liked the routines of one of the contemporary dancers, Travis Wall. I was having some time on my hand the other day and I came across one of his dance performances. It is a beautiful routine and I love the mix of ballet and modern dance in it. Hope you like it.J

True Dat!
