A tryst with Kat

Of late, Katrina Kaif is one actress I love to watch, and so, she happily agreed to meet me in my dream.

The dream didn't have much content. The setting is of some restaurant I think. I am a journalist, ready to meet Kat for an interview. I am sitting on a chair and then I see her coming towards me. She's dressed in a red top and blue jeans, looking amazing as usual. She sits on the chair opposite mine. I then notice that for some strange reason she is wearing orange contact lenses. Weird.

I sit there staring at her. That's it.

Ambilight

I am at my friend PK's house in Singapore ( How he managed to get a house there is a mystery. Al l that I know is that he did an intern there) and we are sitting in the hall (all of its walls are painted white) watching TV. On the wall against which is the sofa we are sitting on, is a huge glass screen that has a wire going from it to a box on the left wall. We do some tp and then he shows me whats in that box.

The box is a controller for the glass screen. He clicks some buttons on the panel inside the box and the glass screen changes color and with it the ambient light in the room since its placed infront of the twin tubelights on the wall . It was transparent earlier. I then understand wot that contraption does. One can change the lighting in the room with just a few button presses that have some presets defined.

I go ahead and play with the controls. Interestingly there's a small mirror too on the panel. Then something strikes me and I pull out my cellphone. (In real life, a few days ago, I had installed an app on the phone that makes the screen go crazy with all kinds of colors flashing... basically the phone becomes a flashlight with presets of color patterns.) I start the app and flash my phone at the mirror.

Now's the best and the last part. The room's lighting syncs with the patterns on the phone's screen. It looks amazing. I play with it for some time and then...

From Sun-n-Sand to Imambara

This one is pretty brief.. I don't remember the details.

It's supposedly a gr8 day in my life. I decide to propose to the girl I love. We go to Sun-n-Sand here in Pune, have our lunch. I propose, she accepts ! Wow..

We come out of the restaurant, give each other a smile and then I give her a big hug. Eyes blink and.....

I am standing in the middle of the road and its NOT EVEN PUNE.. its Lucknow.. the Imambara's dome shines in the distance. My bag with a gud amt of cash, the ring I gave her and most importantly the girl.. all go missing..

Weird.

P.S. : I don't even remember her face :(

Back With a Bang !

The stories start again! This one, though is not an adventurous tale. It's about something that I wanted to be done and it got done :D

The Maharashtra electricity board has a nice website where one can pay bills directly by credit card etc. We (Neo and me) used that option way back on 30th Nov of last year but as we all know, govt. matters take their time. And it did take more than a month !

Till the 31st of Dec the site showed that we hadn't paid the bill and the next bills kept on inflating. Last night, I had this dream where I saw that the payment was now showing online and that the subsequent bill had been adjusted.

So the first thing I did today morning was to check the website; and BANG! IT DID SHOW UP AS PAID !

What a start to a new year :D
