My older posts

Sudden decision to move to Blogspot. Probably because I was feeling too lonely on Xanga! Well anyway, future posts will be here. For the time being, a list of my older posts is below.

	I'm going to Sikkim. For a week. Don't ask me why - wasn't my idea. So anyway, I'll be back next Sunday. Till then, best of luck for my fellow sufferers - may ISC be just as you wanted it to be. And if it isn't, don't worry - I'm with you, mate! Cheerio, The Mindbender

	It's not a suicidal article, that's all I'll say!

A review? Hasn't been the best of times lately. First the sheer trauma of having to get through a lot of engineering exams knowing next to nothing, and staring blankly at lots of little bubbles, about three-fourths of which I always end up marking (call it a momentary lapse of reason...several, in fact!). Then, just when exams were over, and I was planning to relax with some pina colada, along came a break-up. Trust me, the least said about that, the better. Sad, to say the least. So then I went to see Spiderman 3szh5ZsAcgJU. Call it the after-effects of depression, or the "Indian Idol" trailer at the beginning of the movie - either way, it left me saddened. True, it tried. Evil villains, check. Mind-numbing special effects, check. Romantic angle, check. (Peter Parker likes Mary-Jane Watson. Harry Osborn likes Mary-Jane Watson. Eddie Brock likes Gwen Stacy. Gwen Stacy likes Peter Parker. So where does that leave everyone again?) Coming back to the point, nothing was missing. So what went wrong? Maybe the film tried too hard. Maybe somehow, amidst all that it was trying to bring together, the movie lost its way. In any case, it couldn't compare with the first two. (I quite liked the second Spidey movie too, somehow.) A disappointment. The one silver lining - I think I've developed a crush on Bryce Dallas Howard. Here's a pic of her, as Gwen Stacy. Don't ask me why, though. Just found her smile really sweet. Problem is, Gwen Stacy dies in the comics. Hopefully they won't kill her off in the next movie. If they decide to make one. But yes, that doesn't change the fact that I still think Jessica Alba happens to be the hottest chick in Hollywood. Just a thought.

Lost... My life has turned upside down, and I must say I hadn't expected this. Not now. Has it hit me yet? I really don't know. Maybe about now I should be looking for a way out, a way to move on. That's what they all say - "It's ok. You'll survive." Only I can't. I won't survive, not like this. So now I'm looking for a reason. A reason why this had to happen. That hasn't helped either, though. When you love someone so much, and she loves you just as much as you do, you don't expect to be told "Oh, but it was going to happen anyway..." And so, I think, and I think, and I think. And then I just feel even more suicidal, so I stop thinking. And then I feel lost. And then I can't take that anymore, so i start thinking again. There's this empty feeling somewhere inside me, a void that refuses to leave. Because no matter how much you deny it, I will always believe that this was my fault. Maybe it's a matter of convenience - maybe I would much rather have someone to hate, even if it is myself. Somehow I need to channel this despair. Somehow I need to get through this. And just in case I never get to tell you again, I love you. I really really love you. For all that's worth. Monday, May 07, 2007 Introducing... Question : What does a guy do when he's totally bored, has nothing to do for the next three months, and doesn't have a clue about anything in the world (and frankly, doesn't care much either)? Answer : He starts a blog. Mans, womans and other assorted species, welcome to the Mindbender's blog. I can't guarantee that you'll leave any too enlightened, or even in possession of your senses, but I can always try. Up for it? Then let the Mind Games begin!
