Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
The third part of the Fast and the Furious, The movies was only for 1.37 minutes and didn’t have half the action in comparison to its sequels. If this would have been the first part there would have never been a sequel to follow up. The movie had definitely fewer cars featured, may be just five or six in comparison to the previous parts and the acting could have been better. The story line was never great in F&F so really no comments on that. This movie was on the whole concept of drifting, while some would be familiar with the concept from NFS this would be a fairly new concept to the general public. I personally was not really turned on with the whole concept of building the whole movie only on drifting. On the overall a pathetic attempt !

A Personal Though
I’ve been in five schools, two colleges, and two organizations, three countries and all my life I’ve met different types of people. All of whom have taught me a variety of things, some of which I have absorbed I believe that the individuals I’ve met in my life have played a major part of who I am today. I always loved keeping in touch with people, having a wide set of friends. Meeting them and corresponding with my friends .. even before the existence of e-mails.
Today I was struck by reality. Many of my close set of friends were getting married! Well I was more than happy, greeted them, met their counter parts and so on. These were friends some of whom I had known from the day I had got my senses. The few people who I treasured, who I loved beyond imagination, who I had shared my thought, dreams, ambitions, were going to marry another person and fuse with themselves another personality. I waited and watched what the outcome of this would be. Surprisingly my fears became a reality most of my close friends got so much so involved with their new counterpart that they slowly started putting their friends in a back seat. Strange how you could keep aside someone you have known literally all your life. Yes I do agree that they have a new life, a new person to understand and someone who could satisfy all their needs, but still. Could they do any better than literally throw someone who had been with them all their life away and would I be put to a situation to do the same?
Similarly how some of my male friends some of them, shun all their mates away when they meet some girl / some one they love ?! The have no time, no ear to lend to their friends who have been with him through everything they had gone through.
It is here I want to ask people to stop and think, how one should have a balance of a new relationship and the old ones. Of course new ones need a considerable amount of time and effort, but its at the same time one should try the balancing act ….
End of session !

"Another 365 day trip around the sun....enjoy the trip"
Ms.P sent me this mail ...
The inscription on your book...
Another 365 day trip around the sun....enjoy the trip.
I loved those words. Cos, it's not about wishing you luck, good health and prosperity. All that is understood.
Birthdays are'nt about celebration anymore. It's about milestones. And with each birthday, it's like a personal marker in our lives, where we introspect. Look around and figure out where we've come. It's about making every year count. Every living moment. Whether you spend it asleep, reading a book, chatting with friends, working hard, taking a vacation or doing something new.
It's another journey. Yours. Enjoy it.
