June: A Splash Of Rain To Lighten Life..

Is there anything as wondrous as sitting near the window watching the rain splashing against the glass? Watching the trees sway with the breeze. Kids jumping around and jumping in the puddles. And waiting to hear the thunder after watching the lightning crack through the gray sky.
I'm not the biggest fan of the rain . I hate getting wet and walking through that dirty murky water. But how can you be immune to its charms? It symbolizes such wondrous things. A start to a new beginning. The washing away of all that is unclean and the blossoming of nature. Such apt denotations .

I dread this year. I dread it for all the uncertainty it will bring and for the decisions I shall make. I tend to choose the wrong ones at times and now isn't the time to fuck things up. 

May was slothful and lazy and relaxing. I enjoyed it. I was like the heat - ever ruthless. Sucking away all the strengths in me till I was a poor image of my former self. A self imposed shell of a person. 

But June will bring a waft of freshness in. Like the rain. Ever pure. And comforting. 

May : A Month Of Ramblings and Lazy Thoughts.

 I really being alone by myself at times. I like solitude. Such a beautiful word. It's like a soul with attitude. Well, May has just gone by. Not my most productive month in terms of blog writing or personally even . It's been lazy and even slothful at times. It was relaxing. Yes. But not the kind which refreshes you and makes you awake and charged up. Au contraire, I have become even a lazier version of myself. My day starts at noon and ends at 2 am. I get a lot of sleep, yes! But this just screws up your body clock and makes it doubly hard to return to normalcy. 

I would say my closest companion this summer has been my computer. I had the right to use it due to my project to be done, but I don't think I was really sincere and spent most of my time working. In short, I goofed around a lot !!

I have found  some amazing sites and caught up on most of my movie backlog. Just wanted to put down what I actually had seen over the past month . 

TV Shows

I saw the usual ones on TV- Dexter, Las Vegas, How I Met Your Mother ,  Vampire Diaries, Being Human, Spooks, Robin Hood. But the best part is that I have found some amazing new shows which literally knocked my socks away...
Downton Abbey is such an  Amazing show. A clean crisp show with a beautiful story , amazing actors and fantastic cinematography. 
On the same family- domestic theme was Upstairs Downstairs. It may be an old show but I love the story. It was a bit more real than Downton in a way but that may just be the difference in eras!
I loved Cranford, Emma ( Knightley.. Swoon..) , The Crimson Petal and the White, Coupling, South Riding, The Cantebury Tales, Shakespeare ReTold, 
Horrible Histories is just awesome. I wonder  if there will be ever be an Indian version. 

The view of life in a different era

The past is no longer a mystery!!

Books

Not really read a lot of what is " literature" I did get a lot of classics from iBooks but never got round to read a lot o it. I did read a lot of ChickLit and a lot of historical romances. I did however get introduced to some good authors- Nicholas Drayson, Georgette Heyer. . . To name a few.

A truly marvellous book.

This has been the month for movies. Watched a lot of period films. And been introduced to a foreign films. To name a few- Zwartboek( black book), The Millenium Series( the Swedish version) , Soldaat van Oranje, Turks Fruit, Mother Of Mine.... And the English ones are awesome as well.
