So I have been suffering from procrastination and lack of self discipline for a long time now. So much that I was not even doing my regular bit of yoga regularly [I think if while going to sleep any body part aches/feels pain one is not fit. (I also read similar such thing on Tanvii’s blog some time back and completely nodded with a vigorous head shake) So stick to at least 20 minutes of exercise everyday]
So things needed to be straightened big time. First things first to start a good day one needs to wake up in time to have timely tea/coffee, breakfast and then daily chores. So I lured myself into this trap of watching Oscars, which started airing here at 6 am. Like a good girl got up by throwing away all impulses to snooze the alarm and go back to sleep [I went to sleep at 12 you see, after watching that GREAT match of cricket. What nonsense!] While aishwarya and abhishek gabbed about how they accidentally were in LA, I started my day on a resounding note. Successful yoga mixed with stretching exercises for 30 minutes without tiring myself out. And then I was left to nothing but watch the show. Instead of tweeting with a hashtag, I compiled all my reactions (140 characters or not) and thought would attach as an adage to the post (Again!!). 


To put it succinctly if you want to skip my tweets πŸ˜€ 
“The show was a sham. The hosting was really mediocre. I brightened up only when Billy Crystal, Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law were on the stage (all three are personal favorites)”


# and they start the show with a fabulous montage of all the best picture nominees


# Alec Baldwin touch is EPIC. I like Alec Baldwin FYI.


# howmuchever one criticizes the writer’s sense of humor, having Anne Hathaway and James Franco up there presenting the show is refreshing for the eyes!


# the art director winner guy is actually trembling!!!


# James Franco really looks bored out of his wits!!!


# did not know Kirk Douglas was Michael’s father! :0


# though toy story 3 is amazing, I had loved how to train your dragon more! but one more for steve jobs and his enterprise! (His good health features in my prayers these days)


# I will be a late bloomer – David seidler (the original screenplay winner guy) πŸ™‚


# Russel Brand and Helen Mirren should have hosted, no ?


# Reese witherspoon OMG. All dolled up but pretty nonetheless!


# Had a little patriotic moment with AR Rehman’s name being announced


# Now Social Network’s soundtrack was really really AWESOME. Well Deserved.


# Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law. Drooooooool. (I recently watched a Jude Law, Natalie Portman gem Closer and cannot get that starting shot out of my head!)


# And Anne Hathaway is looking like lady gaga (love her voice and few songs) look-a-like in that blue dress.


# I have no favorites as such. Just clearing the airs. (I have watched only toy story 3, Inception and social network amongst the best picture nominees)


# and now Anne Hathaway has turned into an eye sore. Such a pretty face and what a bad dress. 


# James Franco looked horribly bored and looked as if all this was a gag.


# Why does Steven Spielberg always present best picture award ? (or his face looks really common or I have a bad memory. Last I saw oscars was some 3-4 years ago.)


# So my twitter timeline is all sad and mourning as King’s Speech won instead of Social Network.


Anyways, as I finish (check for spelling mistakes) the post, our finance minister has finished producing the budget. Baba points out price rise of branded clothes. I promptly message my brother who I am sure will indulge in some shopping before things get implemented.  
I personally care about my jeans brand (Have a strange connection between the make of a jeans and its fitting in my head). And sadly I dont need any new jeans. So there! Budget wraps up for me.

    I missed the Oscars due to traveling. Made do with random clips on YouTube. But it's just not the same. Big fan of James Franco. But looks like sleepiness finally caught up with him, at the Oscars nonetheless. Poor soul. Ah. *makes a mental note to stop making excuses for Franco*

    @AshR : I know! the whole show looked so drab except when those 3 (mentioned in my post) showed up on stage!
    and I think hathaway has a pretty face. Dont find many hollywood actresses pretty, personally!

    I'm not a Hathaway fan and I'll never pass up an opportunity to take a jab at her. But I thought she tried to be charming and likeable, while Franco just looked out of place on stage. It's a shame that neither of the hosts were able to liven up the atmosphere at the Oscars.

    @neha : heh! moment of personal glory πŸ™‚
    Jude law and portman walking down the pavement in closer..ooh la la..

    1) I actually danced around after i read that kings speech beat facebook. (err.i mean social network). Saw all the movies in that category, and Kings speech and inception were my favorites.. πŸ™‚
    2) I second on Jude Law and Portman in Closer. They both look absolutely divine in that movie. If you like Jude Law..check out his movie The Holiday. Rom-comedy, but he is an eye candy in that movie :D.

    The match was either a cult classic, or really bad bowling…and its difficult to say which one is true…

    Interesting…never followed the Oscars or any other foreign awards show…but always wonder how Abhi-Aish end up being there…both have absolutely no credentials to be invited to oscars or Cannes (ok, can give Aish some leeway, but AB Jr)

    If they close down the Dhoom franchise, this guy would be jobless πŸ™‚

    And absolutely loved the Social Network…and didn't watch many others to make a comparison…
