The weekend that was

Revenge of the Sith had the corniest dialogue you can imagine. If you can sit through that and somehow remain awake for the first 100 minutes, then you'll enjoy some of the snazziest action ever seen on screen. Starting with Obi-Wan doing Greivous harm, moving on to Anakin getting converted to the Dark Side and winding up with the fantastic duel over lava, the last 45 minutes made it all worthwhile. If you are someone who hasn't watched a single Star Wars film, I recommend skipping the first two episodes and walking in halfway into the third.

Dinner at Sufi was a complete disaster. For starters, they did not have starters. Or at least, starters you could start with. There was also this wedding party going on at the basement which featured Cacofonix and his crew. He launched into a Carnatic rendition of Staying Alive, which we barely managed. Needless to add, the rain came pouring down as well. The plain rice was, well, plain. The green veggie thingy was absolutely unpalatable. The chicken was just about ok - at least the parts that were not burnt. Maybe we caught them on a bad day.

  1. My man! That is pure blasphemy. What you mean is skip four and five and walk halfway into six. Personally I'd say watch it like the Matrix series -- Watch the first two, give up right there and let your imagination run wild.

  2. Episodes. I meant episodes! Do not - on any account - skip Episodes IV, V and VI, gentle reader.

  5. Personally I'd say, don't watch Matrix and just let your imagination run wild.
