F.R.I.E.N.D.S

For the last 5-6 months, I've been hearing about job frustrations and ppl not likin their jobs..I'm sorta of sick of hearin it. Everyday, someone or the other complains about his job...
Now Now, don't u go thinkin that I'm (or not) judgin those ppl...but I think I've had enuf of hearin it..(I may continue 2 heat it neway, though)....

But, for the last 2 years I've had a very bright, cheerful, and all time effective medicine that wud clear all my frustrations in a 'jiffy' , to borrow a word from P.G. Wodehouse..makes me laugh,feel happy and energetic again...
That is F.R.I.E.N.D.S...the sitcom that the rocked not only the ppl of the United States but ppl all over the world for 10 years ...and still continues to ...even after it finished its last season last year....
I'm always thankful to my college mates and friends...Amit Sharma and Anil P for introducin me to this wonderful world of 6 friends who always crack up jokes and share everything wid each other.. It is so wonderful, so funny , so catchy, so ...I donno..I'm not very gud wid adjectives...
that one can seriously get addicted 2 it...
F.R.I.E.N.D.S deciphers a small, beautiful world of six very different ppl who live in Newyork... who befriend each other in very different circumstances and get along makin each other and the audience laugh all the way...
I started collectin F.R.I.E.N.D.S as soon as I realised how funny the episodes are..Until the last month I had all the episodes, almost every 'behind the screens' and bloopers..

Though I had backed up most of the gud stuff ..some episodes were left behind on my disk....
Then I bought myself a brand new 120GB disk to backup the rest of the stuff and moved the episodes from my old disk to the new disk....
But, me, a mischievous little idiot messed up my Linux partition on my PC and in a hurry had deleted my boot partitions!!!
Now, somehow my original boot drive was not being recognised and I had not created any primary partitions on my new disk....So I had 2 format my new disk 2 create new partitions..and in turn lost "some" gud stuff.....
When I was still at college.. I used 2 watch 10-15 episodes back 2 back (when I had so much time, ofcourse)..., but these days, I don't have enuf time 2 watch even T.V!! except durin the weeknds...
But, weeknds..first of all , I donot feel (the need) to take a bath...and once I settle down infront of my computer or the T.V..it takes a lot to move my a** back again...

But, still whenever I feel weak or bored, I turn to F.R.I.E.N.D.S for cheerin me up again.....
It so happened that I had never ever watched all the episodes in the right order; it was always a few episodes from one season, another few from the other season and so on....and I still could almost always get the joke...and that seemed to me the right way of njoyin the 'stuff'....not that story is not important...but I still think the comedy matters more than the story(some might argue,there is no comedy, if there is no story..but I don't care abt 'em)....

A little abt F.R.I.E.N.DS.....As I said earlier, F.R.I.E.N.D.S is abt a gang of 6 ppl who met each befriend each other in very different circumstances...two of them go out 'n' then break up and then get married 'n' brk up again and the cycle sorta continues..
2 of the other 4 fall in love wid each other and get married...
the other 2 are the 2 of the most innocent 'n' funniest ppl I've ever seen....in a wierd way though...
each episode runs for abt half-an-hour,but in the times of need of some peace..I think watchin F.R.I.E.N.D.S would be time well spent...
Believe me, I had watched almost every episode..almost 10 times each and never ever felt bored...
F.R.I.E.N.D.S is one of the best things tht happnd 2 me and I'll definitely continue 2 njoy it all the way as long as I can...

and I'll be startin of my 're-collection' of the lost episodes and then I'll be a rich man again!!

the sports season.....

The last one month...it was one hell of a sports season....
What wid the world cup, the wimbledon...and how many had noticed that Indian had won a series on West Indian soil after 35 years???
The day India won the series, all the talk was about football (don't remember which one, crucial match though)...and no one talked about Indian cricket...
The talk is that during the WestIndies tour, even cricketers were not interested in cricket...and they had preferred to watch the world cup rather than playing cricket..
Now, whatz over is over and India has won a series in West Indies after 35 years...thatz a +ve sign for the Indian cricket team....
Wimbledon...the 2 stars...Nadal and Federer......
Is there any one else who could challenge these guyz in Tennis, apart from each other though...???
Looks like for the next few years...we would see Nadal always defeating Federer in the French Open finals and Federer winning the Wimbledon against Nadal in the Wimbledon finals..
This cycle can go on for years....
