Refreshing

The weekend gone by was very refreshing. I played cricket for a good 3 hours. It felt great to be out in the open playing cricket after a fairly long time (6 months atleast). The weather was wonderful and the fact that I played well added to the feel good factor.
Until this weekend, I was worried that because of the winter, physical activity was near zilch. But its good that I played cricket and I am hoping to make this a regular weekly thing - the weather permitting.

I have never been a fan of being “gym fit”, but the winter and limited sporting activity has forced (motivated perhaps) me to join up at a gym. I will be starting off tomorrow and hopefuly I will keep that going!!!!! I remember the days as a school kid whenI used to train every morning and the feeling was amazing. I hope I can get back to feeling hat way!!!!!

I have this uncanny knack of missing out on great movies. But then I have a few limitations when it comes to watching movies - I cant watch them alone(i try to avoid doing that too), I started watching movies on a regular basis only after I came to Melbourne and I cant watch more than one at one go. Yesterday I got the opportunity to watch Shawshank Redumption and it straight away went to my list of favourites. It was an awesome movie. The plot was smart and the movie well made.
There are some movies that i can watch numerous times and not get bored. Some of them are Panchatantiram, Michael Madan Kama Rajan, Rhythm (all Tamil) and Swades (Hindi). The first 2 are laughter riots and the other 2 strike some very sensitive chords. A couple of weeks ago when I came back home witha splitting headache ona Friday evening, I put Swades on my mini theatre and was lying down on my bed. I expected not to be able to watch more than 30 mins coz of the headache. But I got into the movie so much that I ended up watchign the whole of it and magically my headache was gone as well. Some things just happen and I dont want to question why.
