In A short Delhi Spring

March 20th, revising my Korean language textbook, one sentence caught my attention. It said, " 한국에는 사 계절이 있습니다. 봄, 여름, 가을 겨울 입니다." i.e. "Korea has four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter." it's not that we in India don't see the four seasons but at some places generally and at Delhi particularly, spring and autumn seasons are not well defined. Of course we don't have apple or cherry trees in Delhi, still, it is not the absence of cherry blossoms but the short length of  seasons that makes it hard to figure out, just when the winters/summers start!
North Campus of Delhi University could be one of the places in Delhi where one can feel the transition from winter to summer; same can be seen in well maintained parks at Dwarka and South Delhi areas. Trees with bright new leaves and colorful flowers are very conspicuous.
Seeing these flowers remind me of the time when I had to take a lot of pictures of flowers in 2010 for botany assignment of a cousin. Back then, using low res. phone camera, so I had to go really close to flowers which were in "public places" which was somewhat awkward. Though  it made me really happy when I saw her final assignment.
A few days before 20th March, I felt that temperature was a bit lower than usual so I asked my friend about it, while going in a bus; somebody standing nearby suggested that there was snowfall in Mussoorie which could be the reason. Good for us! but as the heat will rise in coming days, streets will look deserted and most of these flowers will be gone. Perhaps only Gulmohar tree will remain colorful during peak of summer, and till the rains.

Blogging with the phone

To blog with a phone sounds difficult as the blogger looks somewhat complicated on desktop itself. But with the use of a simple android application (blogger-droid), this problem can be sorted out.
It is easy to start, works even in low bandwidth and gives most of the options which regular site provides.
I have inserted some screenshots and this post has also been made through the same app.

Dhobi ghat

"Hey come on!! we've gotta see this movie before it gets off the screens", was how I collected people to see this movie with me. An 'Aamir Khan movie' which you can choose to see without reading the reviews, were the thoughts on my mind. See how it all went......
The movie started with a screen resolution that was unable to fit to the hall screen, a big disappointment. Then a scene of Arun(Aamir Khan) in an art gallery where he meets the heroin Shai(Monica Dogra) after which they go to their apartment and sleep together. He acts strange in the morning (why not? :P) and they part their ways after this. Another story of a dhobi Munna(Pratiek Babbar) grows parallel to this and yes!! he looks too good to be a dhobi and a part time rat killer. This is what goes into his mind all the time. Heroin looks attracted to him, maybe as a friend but their relation looks very awkward. Then the dhobi becomes the common link between the hero and heroin, of course because of his profession. This is the point where I realized that this movie is one of the shittiest that I've ever seen and sorry if I couldn't find any art in this. I was hoping that the movie should end early butit continued like forever..... I tried but couldn't sleep.
Interestingly (read stupidly) another story grows parallel to these two, inside the recorded video cassettes which Aamir found in his new apartment, it's about a lady recording herself to send the videos to her brother. It turns out that she kills herself as she asserted in the final video cassette.
The trauma of my exercise, calling two other people to watch the movie with me broke, when one of them uttered the word 'SWEET' in the hopelessly silent cinema hall on seeing the Aamir Khan's painting of the video cassette girl.
I thought, at least somebody is enjoying. He said he was trying to find something good. Maine uski bhavnao ko samjha aur hum bahar nikal aaye. Before this there was a happy ending too!
I couldn't understand that how can a person like Aamir khan let himself in such a poor movie, but see !! everybody has to go home where someone is waiting.....
