Caught between the Budget and the Oscars |
Nothing feels better than good ol post work out sweat - especially after a really beat day, when the choice was between watching The Oscars or The Budget at work.
But in this day and age- who listens to the heart? No, seriously- when you get to being 30+ it's a tough choice. I suppose, one eventually comes around doing stuff... the operative word being " eventually", but the "Right Now" belongs all the way to rationale.
It's a tough life, and miss being in college, I'm mean, not in the way of being younger- but in they way of definitely wearing my heart on my sleeve.

So, I was to review Forbes Life- a magazine I picked up on impulse this Sunday. My first flip thru impression- definitely a "Monocle"ly feel...
Now, I've never read a Forbes Life before, so can't judge it relatively, but it's got this pseudo intellectual, pseudo simplistic aura generated around it.
It has this snob demeanor , but not In a crude way, but has this sort of your snooty, elegant snob feel...
Gone thru it's so called varied articles, and so far Amruta Patil is the only one that's got me interested ( I've read her graphic novel Kari and I thot it to be nice)... So this Atlantis theme based story was interesting.
But so far, it's the only thing that I've liked.
Flashback-
I'd seen this one in a few book stores before, but was always put off by it's "trying too hard to be intriguing " theme of "The First Immortals", wot ever I'm supposed to synthesize thru that? Or for the supposedly alluring cover .
This time round, when I saw it again, I said- what the heck, let's give it a try.
By and By I was not impressed, much stuff u already know.
On the whole the mag was a drag.
I'm not so sure I'm going to go in for my next copy. Maybe I can use the bulky copy for my next weights session :D
I really , really wish there was more real and less pretentious writing in the magazines that we come across now a days. Most of them come across as sassy adverts or picture book.

I'm also looking up on the Granta Magazine, so there is hope in all the mindlessness I was referring to in my last post
