Sex and the City... The Movie

-
I finally saw the movie today... Don't ask me why, I just had to. As I was watching the first half, the wedding preparations, I was thinkng, this is not going to happen.... He is not going through with it... And then when I saw the wedding scene I was like, I knew he would do that. She is really stupid to ever think he was going to get married. So why did she spend so many years of her life on this loser???? And the answer to that I think is very simple.... It is love, hope, faith, trust.... whatever you want to call it, but basically its the heart taking over the brain... For my GGC 1000 class, the students had to make a presentation on their favorite inspirational quotes. One of my students' quote was "Stand up for something, or else you will fall for everything". She spoke about how her boyfriend mistreated her and she let him, until one day when she realized it was not worth it and stood up for herself and left him... But the way she presented it was really nice (especially for a Freshman student). She asked all the female students what they would do if their boyfriend physically abused them, belittled them, etc. While most of the girls in class said they would leave the guy, one girl said "You should not, but you may..." (The question was would you stay with the guy...) And I don't know if this happens only to women or are even men sometimes so "blind" in love??? As the end of the movie revealed Carrie finally did marry Big... Why?? Towards the end of the movie she tells Big that they were so happy before they decided to live happily ever after..... And it sort of seemed like a lame excuse to me. Maybe they don't need to get married to stay happy... that's great for them!!! But the fact that the guy gave up on you at the most important point of your life, did not keep up a commitment, what does that say??? Understood that he was uncomfortable, but at least a decent thing to do would have been to talk to her, tell her and face all the guests and explain it to them... not leave her alne at the altar to take care of all the mess... Why would she want to marry a guy like this????
I bet it's hope... Hope that if she did things his way he would not leave her!!! But I wouldn't bet on that....

Dil ne tumko chun liya hai..........

-
I keep adding new songs to my iPod every now and then and keep listening to the new ones over and over again. Yesterday for some reason I decided to listen to some older songs and decided to go for Jhankaar Beats . I had completely forgotten how much I used to like this song: Dil ne tumko chun liya hai Tum bhi isko chuno na Khwab koi dekhta hai Tum bhi sapne buno na Dil ye mera tumse kuch keh raha hai Suno na.......... Not only had I forgotten all about this song, but I had also forgotten what a hardcore romantic I used to be. I don't know what about this song affected me so much.....The lyrics, the melody, the singer (Shaan, who else?), I guess everything about this song touched my heart. The past few years have been tough and I guess I sort of came to terms with it, but in the process put some of the old sweet memories somewhere in the back.......When I was listening to this song I was thinking, it would be so nice to have someone sing this for you.....And then suddenly that Pand

My Favorite Things To Do in Washington D.C.

I spent a significant amount of time in 2023 living in Washington D.C. While a lot of the year was spent on managing a steep learning curve at work, traveling to conferences and shuttling between Atlanta and DC, I managed to explore DC a little. I had visited DC a few times before, but living here gave me an opportunity to explore it in more depth. I absolutely loved taking the Metro everywhere. It reminded me of living in Mumbai and I felt comfortable and absolutely safe. I took the Metro at all odd hours, even taking the last one at midnight a few times and never felt unsafe. There are several advantages to using the Metro in DC. It connects different neighborhoods in DC very well. The few times that I took an Uber/Lyft, I was stuck in traffic for long enough to regret my decision. On the weekends the charge is a flat $2 each way, no matter how far or close you are traveling. So, it seemed like a no-brainer to use the Metro.  Safety tip:  When traveling by myself, I generally tried t

Hiking in the Canadian Rockies

Herd of Bighorn Sheep on the Trail I finally checked off an item from my bucket list - hiking in Banff and Jasper National parks! The Canadian Rockies are full of beautiful lakes, mountains and wildlife, and they had been on my list for a really long time. So, I was happy to check them off this summer. We went on a 9 day trip in the Alberta area and loved every minute of it. While we hiked quite a bit and saw tons of lakes, I will share some of the highlights in this post, that I think are not to be missed. Check out my post on hiking in the Colorado Rockies to read about appropriate gear and altitude adjustment. All of that applies here too.  Banff National Park : On day 1 in Banff National Park, we headed to Johnston Canyon and hiked the Inkpots trail . The canyon itself is beautiful and most people hike to the lower and upper falls. To get away from the crowds though, continue hiking further on the Inkpots trail. This leads to five cool springs where the water percolates from the
