Regular
A regular conversation with Rahul.
Me : Hey, Rahul. We're jamming tomorrow aren't we?
Rahul: Yeah, man. Tomorrow at 5pm. How you been, man?
Me: Super. How's everything?
Rahul : Great, man. I've been trying to get some work done at the side. Been listening to the new Soilwork album, man. It's great. “The Panic Broadcast” isn’t the return to their roots as one might expect especially with the return of Wichers to the line up. In fact, it’s still the Modern Metal SOILWORK that they have come to be, but they have just changed a few of the focuses and added a bit more here and there to create a new sound that happens to incorporate many older tendencies. And apart from that, everything's super. I watched Inception, man. Fuck, what a film! Inception is one of the most honest films ever made. Nolan has crafted a movie that’s beyond brilliant and layered both narratively and thematically. It requires the audience to take in a collection of rules, exceptions, locations, jobs, and abilities in order to understand the text, let alone the fascinating subtext. Nolan’s magnum opus is the first major blockbuster in over a decade that’s demanded intense viewer concentration, raised thoughtful and complex ideas, and wrapped everything all in a breathlessly exciting action film. Inception may be complicated, but simply put it’s one of the best movies of the year. But yeah, lot of thing happening off late. We met at JATC last week and i thought.......
Me: Rahul, RAHUL! It's almost time, i'll see you at jam in 30 minutes.
Rahul: Ok, man.

V
So, Vinay is off to Montreal to visit his brother, Vivek; whom he hasn't met for almost 10 years now. Vinay will be saving on excess-luggage charges because he no longer has that legendary beard; which is also the reason why Vivek has asked Vinay to carry a placard with his name on it.

Has a painter's work ever made you feel / think different?
I had been an admirer of Rothko's work ever since I had seen a documentary about the painter on TV in 2008.
I considered myself blessed to see Mark Rothko's Seagram Murals at the Tate Britain in 2009.
They had an immediate effect on me. I had to take a seat and stare. I had to stare at the colours. I had to stare at the shapes.
The Seagram Murals are massive. They envelope you. You find yourself enraptured.
What do they mean? I can't say.
What do they mean to me? Something that I've struggled to put in words.
They have immense depth. Some of them even move. Some of them move you.
I thought, "If 'Darkness' had colour, it would look like this."
