Weekends and catching up onTV

Well, ever since Abhi made a resolve to not watch TV during the weekdays, so that we 'supposedly' spend our time more productively, and through some sheer stroke of magic (must be one of those days when my reasoning powers are at their super-low), convinced me to join in the plan, our weekend beginnings have been quite interesting. Take today for instance, he called me up at 4.30 in the afternoon, convinced me to get out of work so that we could hang around and then, instead of enjoying those one-off warm days in Boston, we headed straight back home- with reasonable haste, mind you- to enjoy all the amazing programmes that were waiting piled up on our much-beloved TIVO! It's another story altogether that TIVO decided on its own, to not work this week, which actually makes it less beloved...hmph, yet we were able to find an online version of our fav show. So anyways, after sitting glued in front of the TV for a straight hour or so, thus having satiated our pent up TV-viewing urges, we decided to have dinner.

Which brings me to the other TV escapade tonight. While flipping channels for something adequately dull and interesting to accompany my dinner preparation of methi paranthas (believe me, its always a real challenge to choose something just right on TV while i'm cooking across in the kitchen--well if I choose something real intersting, that's all I end up doing while the dishes take their own drastic course, and if it is too boring, then I spend all my time flipping channels to find that perfect dull-intersting combo). So anyways, today happened to be the former instance. Thankfully the methi paranthas survived too, and i ended up watching 'The Great Debaters' on TV. It was quite a well made movie, and i didn't know till the credits rolled up that it was directed by Denzel Washington - so kudos to him, great acting and good directing! Two other intersting factors in the movie were connections to Boston (Boston Univ and Harvard, with shots in Cambridge), as well as references to Gandhiji and civil disobedience in the climax. Since I have now completely run out of my patience with this keyboard (you should really appreciate how there is not even a single mis-spelt word in my blog, cause trust me its mighty difficult to manage that on this laptop!!) i will bid adieu!

Not bad, third day and still counting....:)
