At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
This is the kind of music V likes to listen to :-(
BULLETS
~Creed
Walking around I hear the sounds of the earth seeking relief
I'm trying to find a reason to live
But the mindless clutter my path
Oh these thorns in my side
(Oh, these thorns in my side)
I know I have something free
I have something so alive
I think they shoot cause they want it *3x
I feel forces all around me
Come on raise your head
Those who hide behind the shadows
Live with all that's dead
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my head
In my lifetime when I'm disgraced
Jealousy and lies
I laugh aloud cause my life
Has gotten inside someone else's mind
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Hey all I want is what's real
Something I touch and can feel
I'll hold it close and never let it go
Said why, why do we live this life
With all this hate inside
I'll give it away cause I don't want it no more
Please help me find a place
Somewhere far away
Yes I'll go and you'll never see me again
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Through my head *2x
Look at me
Look at me

Gray
Last Friday, on my way back home, the weather was glum but it was not raining. Only the prospect of the next two days being off kept my sinking spirits floating. I was driving at a fairly good pace and trying not to speed too much as the highway was getting quite windy.
About 12 miles from Columbus, I saw one of the most beautiful scenes. Up ahead, the sky was dark and cloudy...with the clouds in various shades of gray. On the other hand, the road, the trees and bushes nearby were bright and colourful as if freshly washed (which it was actually! :-)). The bright green color of the grass, the gleaming yellow and white lines on the road and the shining red tail lights of the cars in front of me threw a stark contrast to the dark sky above. On my rear-view mirror I could see the sky behind me was bright and almost sunny. It was as if I was driving towards the storm. As I was admiring the scenary and wishing I could stop and take a picture, it started raining and all of a sudden the mild rainfall turned into a lashing storm. A strong gush of wind blew my car sideways, almost halfway to the shoulder. Oh man! Was I scared!! I slowed down and moved to the slow lane and drove with my parking lights blinking. It was almost impossible to see through the heavy rain and all I could see was the blinking lights of the car in front. We all drove at the dead pace of 10mph. The rain turned into a hail-storm and for the first time since I moved from Sikkim, I could see hail. I quickly closed my moon-roof thinking that even if it breaks the glass above, I wont be hurt. To top it all, my fuel indicator started blinking! Luckily the next exit was close by and I went to a gas station. As suddenly as it had started, the storm started to reduce and it became bright again as continued towards Columbus. All this time I was on the phone with V. The confirmed my belief the cell phones are one of the greatest and most useful inventions ever!
By the time I reached Columbus, the weather was calm again. Later, we went to an Ice-skating show organised by the same school that I had gone for my skating class. On our way to the show, we even had a glimpse of a rainbow. Most of the participants were girls and the teeny tiny ones looked so adorable in their dresses. This was my first ever 'live' skating performance that I had ever seen, so I enjoyed it as much as I would have enjoyed watching the Winter Olympics.
Saturday too, the weather was cold...so much so that we had to put the heater on! V had office work to do, so the entire day I was at home. My day passed by enjoying a nice long chat with Mr Tomatoes on yahoo messenger. In the eve we went to the birthday girl's home to celebrate with close friends. Poor girl was not feeling well and had fever. We stayed at their place till late night chatting and planning for the party the next weekend.
Sunday too passed by at home. Saw half of My Brother Nikhil. Its a nice movie and I got to watch the rest of it soon. Went to Applebee's for dinner with frens and had Fiesta Lime Chicken. There was this lady sitting near our table and she was yack-yacking away in a highly loud and irritating voice. No amount of staring, commenting or clattering detered her spirits. We had half the mind to go and tell her something, but then our good manners stopped us :-) By the end of it, our ears went quite sore. But we did enjoy the dinner with each of us coming up with innovative ideas on how to shut her up :-)

Movie woes
Few more added to my 'awesomely bad movies I have ever seen' list
Ab Bas - extremely dreary copy of J Lo's Enough. Skipped and fast forwarded most of the movie.
Bride and Prejudice - Found this too to be pretty boring. I guess the quality of the video made it worse. The songs are terrible. I mean didnt Gurinder realise english songs in hindi tunes simply dont gel?
Fun2sh - Got it just coz I spent $20.00 plus in an Indian grocery store, which entitled me to a free rental video. Had a choice between Boom and this. Had got a pathetic review on Boom, so chose Fun2sh knowing quite well what I am getting myself into. Saw it just to pass time till 12 yesterday and then go wish my frens on their marriage anniversary. No need to tell more about this!
