Toy Story the movie was good. But i didn’t like it that much. Maybe movies don’t feel that good if you watch them 15 yrs. after they were produced. Maybe that’s why i didn’t like “Dr. Strangelove” either.

Toy story 2 was much better. I really liked it. you don’t expect sequels to be better than originals but its an exception.(So is Terminator 2)

But the biggest personal shock ever shown in a movie was in Toy story 1. You think that you are a super hero, savior of galaxies. You are super strong and super human (too super). Then suddenly you find out the truth, that you are a tiny TOY. No doubts ever crossed your mind about it, no nothing….suddenly when you need your powers the most you get the shock. This really made me feel bad.

If you think biggest shock was in Star wars then that too is covered in Toy Story 2. duh..

I just realized that i never had a toy doll. Maybe that’s why i feel so lonely….I don’t even remember which toys I used to play with….. mmmm…….Some really small cars and a police truck with a roll over trick……No other toys ????.. I can’t believe this. Either my parents don’t like me or I am suffering from memory loss.

Most of the time i am obsessed with some activity. Sometime ago i was reading 3-4 hours a day (sometimes more) just for the fun of it (It is very unusual for me) . I am not sure if i enjoyed reading but i liked some books more than others. I thought it will be a good idea to share a list of those books here. So, here is a list of some ‘good’ books in alphabetical order.

I love Scott Adams the creator of “Dilbert”. I didn’t say i love “Dilbert” because I love Wally, Asok, Pointy haired boss, Alice and rest of them as well.

I can’t believe that someone can be so awesome. My Indian-ness is compelling me to give him the status of a god. So lets call him god of wittiness.

Believe me I am not one of those Indians who laugh everytime somebody slips on banana. Also Jim carry fails to get a laughter from me.

But Scott Adams is so good that i want to hug him and kiss him (of course, on the cheek). As a Punjabi its difficult for me to show love without touching.

My favorite character in “Dilbert” is Wally (it sounds awkward to me !!!). He is full of eternal knowledge. He knows the world better than anyone else except Dogbert (yeah criteria is Knowledge and intelligence). But as he doesn’t have any ‘bad motives’ and appears more regularly than Dogbert (Notice i use “D”) so i will give him a chance to be my favorite for a while.

Mean time you can see my collection of Best of Dilbert.
