I went for ice skating today.

I learned that the trick was to always be prepared to fall. Failing is a very good reinforcement mechanism to get better. Once you know how to land without hurting yourself, then you start getting the confidence to improve your movement.

Nice experience. Will go again.

I wrote a blog post about "Crash landing on you". 😊

Rewatched "Mad Max: Fury Road" today.

The feminist themes of the film are so much more clearer to me, having recently read Rebecca Solnit's "Men Explain Things to me".

The savage barbaric world of Mad Max is saved when a woman becomes an emperor, who brings love, affection and patient gardening techniques to the ruins of the crumbling civilisation!

I see Christmas snow,
Outside my window.

😀

Played Betrayal at the House on the hill and got the worst possible scenario. The winner would have to be the person who opened the last room. It lasted for three hours!

ये ख़राबातियान-ए-ख़िरद-बाख़्ता
सुब्ह होते ही सब काम पर जाएँगे

All the tavern-dwellers who put their intellect at stake,
The next day they would go back to work.

Here's a blog post I wrote, trying to do a literary analysis of these lines and the rest of the poem.

I'll write another blog post today.

उस की उमीद-ए-नाज़ का हम से ये मान था कि आप,
उम्र गुज़ार दीजिए उम्र गुज़ार दी गई.

With her coquetry, she had put forth put forth a demand,

To spend the life she asked, so spending my life I am.

Saw "Wall Street" (1987).

Nice film. Michael Douglas acts beautifully in this commentary about ugly capitalism and greed. Very impressed.

The dialogue exchanges of Martin Sheen and Charlie Sheen broke the fourth wall. It was too real.

Looking for recommendations of romantic Korean films.

So now the birdsite has erupted in a flamewar about Nazi mathematicians.

Soon, the sparks will fly in this direction too.

कितनी दिलकश हो तुम कितना दिल-जू हूँ मैं,
क्या सितम है कि हम लोग मर जाएँगे.

Translation:

So irresistible you are, so heart-broken I am,
What a tragedy it is that we're both mortals.
