I am in Bangalore on Sunday, to conduct an Entertainment Quiz. It’s a KQA quiz, and I am very very nervous. Have that awkward Androclesian feeling ( “Sigh! I am about to be eaten up. There is a teeny-weeny chance the lion knows me and I know the lion, and we’ll hug each other and be the heroes of a story that someone two thousand years from now will be reading in a text-book. But no, the unknown-lions to Androcles-familiar lions ratio is just too much. I am doomed!!” etc ) I had just a week to prepare questions for it, cannot repeat any of my previous questions because, like the Raphus Cucullatus i am, I had passed everything, from the prelims to the finals, including visual questions, to bloggolb and the rest of the Motorola Quiz Team. *sigh*
But, the brighter side – I will be seeing Return of the King with Mons tomorrow. Oh yeah! So now I can come back on Monday and sneer at all minor mortals in Hyderabad for their LotR-deprived lives. *insert ominous laughter here* Please god let us get tickets.
I just remembered that today is 13th February. Precisely a year ago, at this time, I was seeing AR Rahman perform live, from about ten feet away from the stage. It was the day of the rehearsals, the concert was on the 14th. Vasu and myself, we had gatecrashed Gachibowli Stadium and…..
Naah! That’s a tale for some other day.*
*loosely translated: I am lazy and I don’t have time and I need to catch a bus and all of you have a nice weekend.

Apollo 13 starts to show in IMAX (i hope matinee show in at exact 13:00 hrs :p)
TOday was the last day to collect sodexho’s and i finally managed to get them. ye ye ye!
Also, i got a bus to catch too, at 7:15 PM. 7+5+1=13. COOL!
Apollo 13 – added to Waitlist.
‘RotK’ – hmm, now let me see, when exactly was that released?
Ah, it’s so hazy, so long ago ……. *special grin*
*Snarl*
no, wait. i shouldn’t be snarling.
*wardance*
Seen-it-seen-it-nyaah-nyaah-seen-it.
:-) – normally, i’d never do that sort of thing, but your entry kind of asked for it ;-)
I wish I could participate in your quizzes — except I’d probably miss a lot of your local references. They sound like a whole lot of fun.
Have you visited ? I keep posting questions from my quiz there, and so do lots of other quizzers from India.
What??!!!….you haven’t watched ROTK yet!…no matter what you have read and what anyone else has told you, let me say it once more – IT IS ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS! You do appear to be one of those decent people though who haven’t showed disrespect to the classic by watching a DVD rip on the comp….it’s made for the big screen….if only they had an IMAX version!
Muhuhuhuhuhahaha!!
I watched it on Saturday.
Let no Vile Wretch speak of DVD rips of new movies to me…..the last thing I want is to see 20000 orcs on screen, when I should be seeing 60000.
>if only they had an IMAX version!
Hey!
I said that.
Or did I?
Anyway, as Clouseau once told the Pink Panther, “Great minds think alike.”
