Rock On!!!

Every time I notice something new, I'd always think "this is something I have to put into my blog". Each time, I'd file it at the back of my head hoping that I could find some time to sit down and just share my experiences chronologically.

I just realized that if I kept waiting for the right time, more and more things would have come up and I'd just end up with a blog that has little detail and misses out on what I felt when each event happened. I'll just have to commit to write about the first two weeks sometime in the future.

It is my fourth outing since arriving on campus and save for Hyderabad City Tour , this is farthest I've been from ISB. We had lessons on how to squeeze many people into a small car, learned of a great place to eat, "Our Place"... it had great ambiance too!

The highlight of the evening was our trip to the cinema. "Rock On" became my first ever cinematic experience in India and it's also the first time I've seen ticket prices comparable to the Philippines (Taiwan, HK & China have significantly more expensive rates). The chairs were quite comfortable and shifted into a slightly reclined position so I just relaxed while watching the movie.

Today, I learned and proved to myself that true art, when properly done, transcends cultural boundaries and languagebarriers. The dialogue on "Rock On" was a mix of 85% Hindi and 15% English. Majority of us were able to understand and appreciate the story despite there being no subtitles. I was so touched by the film that I didn't need the "Don't Download, Buy the CD" reminder they had at the end of the movie to convince me to get the soundtrack. I'm hooked!

The only thing I can say is... "Rock On"!
