Phase Three : Break Free

He was five back then.His mother was pregnant with her second child.Home was nothing short of hell.There was rarely a night when he could sleep without having to hear all the shouting, all the noises, all the crying.
Like all kids, he loved his mother more than anything.But they shared something more than just that.There was a feeling of camaraderie- of going through the same ordeal everyday, of being totally helpless against all that was happening.A pregnant woman and her little son.Each other was all they had .

There were nights he just wished he was somewhere far, far away.Wished he were someone else.Wished to fast forward to the future and be done with this ordeal as his mother kept assuring him that the future would be bright and full of happiness.
"Have faith," she always told him.
As a refuge from all the suffering, he started reading kids comics.Lots of them.One story that left an impression on him goes like this :

Cheeku the rabbit is in his room, playing loud music.Meanwhile, some burglars enter the house and take all his mother's jewellery away.And the rest of the story shows Cheeku's mother telling him why it is wrong to play music so loudly that he couldn't even hear his mother scream in the next room.

From the moment he read that story,he stopped playing music completely.He also started watching the television on mute.
He always wondered what his mother was doing in the next room.
Was she alright? Or had she set herself on fire or was she hanging from the fan as they showed on television?
Slightest of sounds or its absence would make him shout out very loudly :
"Ammaaaa...What are you doing?"
Amma, as he called his mother, who had heard this question a million times before would shout at him for shouting so loudly.He'd be relieved to hear her voice.

Now, tell me, how many kids feel relieved when their mothers shout at them?

He is no more a kid.
As an adult, he knows the word for what used to go on at home when he was a little kid : domestic violence.
And he trusts his mother ever more.They did get through it and they were happy.
Very happy.Just like she always said.

With Metallica blaring through the headphones now, he suddenly presses mute and goes :
" Ammmaaaa...What are you doing?"

On hearing no response, he smiles.

Certain habits stay forever.People don't.

I open my eyes and I'm in the lab.I dont know for how long I've been sitting here gazing into the computer screen.

I open my eyes and find myself listening to a guy who looks familiar.Can't make sense of what he is saying.

I open my eyes and find food in my mouth.I continue chewing like a zombie.Mechanically.

I open my eyes.I'm peeing.I pee for what seems an eternity.

I open my eyes and I'm on the bed.My head feels very heavy.

I open my eyes and I'm in the lab again.

Do I have an alter ego like that in Fight Club?

I'm not complaining.
This is pure, unadulterated, heavenly bliss.

Rating : 4/10.

Watched this movie yesterday.I soooo wanted to watch a movie and didn't have any other option.This is a movie about two brothers, Jan Wolfhouse and Todd Wolfhouse, who travel to Germany to spread their grandfather's ashes.They are taken to a secret underground place which plays host to a centuries-old 'Beer Fest.' Teams from all over the world are seen competing, except for the US of A. (btw, a huge Indian flag is seen at the venue and many people can be seen holding the Indian flag!)

The brothers, Jan and Todd, discover that the fest is run by their grandfather's half brother. Germans are seen beating the Irish in the finals and the brothers take on the winning team, but face a humiliating loss.They also hear from their grandfather's half brother that their great grandfather is a son of a Bavarian prostitute who ran away with the secret recipe of the best German beer.

They return to their country and wish to avenge the humiliation they faced in Germany by winning the Beer Fest.So most of the movie is about how they put a team together, their preparation for the fest, the hurdles they face on their path and so on.

You get to see a few pairs of breasts, lots of beer, frog cum, people drinking ram's piss and similar stupid things.The only part of the movie that made me laugh is where one of the team members is jerking a frog off.This is all that my patience permits me to write about this waste fucking crap of a movie.I started cursing the Americans for some stupid movies they bring out but had to shut up when I saw it was written and directed by a guy of Indian origin.

Watch it if you have nothing better to do.
