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.
