As much as you can`

One of my most favourite poems.
------------------------------------

As much as you can

And if you can't shape your life the way you want,
at least try as much as you can
not to degrade it
by too much contact with the world,
by too much activity and talk.

Try not to degrade it by dragging it along,
taking it around and exposing it so often
to the daily silliness
of social events and parties,
until it comes to seem a boring hanger-on.

Oye Lucky Lucky Oye

There is this lucky bastard around called Imran Hashmi.  No I am not calling him lucky for being a serial-whatever but for grabbing films having chartbusting music.  Almost all of his movies have hit tracks.  Earlier our Kaka and Sallu Miya were sitting on that crest.  

Another such lucky but hardworking chap is Abhay Deol.  All critically acclaimed films have come across his way and a couple of more( DevD , OLLO )are in his kitty.  Envy you dude!!! Good luck anyways :)

The Veiled Rebecca

Last weekend we visited Salar Jung museum here in Hyderabad. In my opinion it is the best place to visit in this city, However, there are plenty of cool places here but museum is awesome. You can spend whole day overthere. We could not finish it fully in 2.5 hours. It has art objects collected from all over the world. The best of all was the statue of "The Veiled Rebecca" a biblical character. The Italian artist, Giovanni Maria Benzoni , has brilliantly created the lady in transparent veil with a milky white glowing marble.

You can find the more details here.

- The Chinese & Japanese art gallery
- India's painting gallery
- India's miniature painting gallery

I recommend all of you to visit the museum and also the Golkonda fort if you happen to come to this city.
