We’ve all studied, some very hard, some not as much. But studied we all have. Been tortured by CLAT ’11 we all have. Bloody unsure of what’s in store, we all are. So here’s something that might help get some bit of surety, albeit however unrelated to Law School Results, etc.
Once the disastrous CLAT was done, and since I wasn’t really keen on giving NLU-O, I sat down, and literally made a list of things I’d want to do before I joined a law college this year. Now, I’m not as intelligent, or humorous like these so many people who have been posting on CG relentlessly, to keep us going, and neither am I like the talented buggers who’ve so far written for ‘The Window’, so bear with the mundane nature of the post. And be nice, okay?
Things to do in the month before college starts.
1. Watch movies. LOADS of them. All first day shows, all old classics, all the ones I’ve missed for the sadistic CLAT paper. Here’s a list of my must watch movies-
– Alice In Wonderland
– Clash of the Titans
– Robin Hood
– Prince of Persia
– The Last Airbender
– Toy Story-3
– The Expendables
– The Eagle of the Ninth
– The American
– The king’s Speech (yeah haven’t even seen this one. Don’t laugh)
– Black Swan
– 127 Hours
– Buried
– Biutiful
– Casablanca
– Die Hard Series ( haven’t even seen 1)
– The Godfather I and II- one movie that is actually as good as the novel !
– Saving Private Ryan
– Seven Samurai
– Some Like It Hot ( who was the actor? Hint- CG compendiums had it. :P)
– Fast Five
– Super 8
– Pirates of the Caribbean I, II, III, and IV.
Okay, that’s for English movies. For any more on this get back to me on my e-mail ID.
2. READ ! It’s been ages since I read an Alistair Maclean or a Fredrick Forsyth. I plan to finish all of them a.s.a.p. That’s all that I’ll read, apart from the few award winning novels of the past couple of years.
3. Pick up a part time job.
4. Learn to play the harmonica and drum.
5. Learn how to swim, properly.
6. Write more often on my blogs. They’ve missed me, I know.
Now, that’s ‘bout it for me. Make your own list. Do loads of things. Just do something ! Don’t waste time worrying about the results, it’s not worth it. You’ve done what you could. Now let The Force do its mental math.
This post is merely a pointer. I’d love it if you guys added to it. The more, the merrier. 😀
PS: I forgot this-
- Experiment with various blends of ethanol, and nicotine. If you don’t do THIS, shame on you !
Joke tha. [-_-“]
And as they say- May The Force be with you. Peace !
Paaras.
Kung Fu Panda 2 too!!
Lol I don’t know – Some Like It Hot had Marilyn Monroe. 😛
I think I’ll save the ethanol-nicotine cocktail for when law school actually starts. I hear the work load can get heavy.
[yeh bhi joke tha… hopefully 😉 ]
Oh, add Prince Of Egypt to the must-watch movies. 1998 animated classic. Lovely.
ethanol-nicotine cocktail ? O_o
That’s two steps ahead of you man!!
Cocktail! What next?
I know !!
What next? Nothing Mr tanmanenator, that may be spoken of in a public forum. -_-
😀 don’t forget my invite!
Invite? What invite? O_o
My movie list is longer! Harmonica lessons online are vague but okay. I have a hohner 16 hole dichomatic You?
Lemme know if you actually get a decent place to learn them.
Tanmay
ps:Moi=Tiwari’s friend=sat behind you at Symbi! ;P
NLS for you is it? 😀
I had one the name of which I don’t know. Unlikely it had a name. I’m figuring out how to play it on my own. :p
I tried!!! It just makes a terrible terrible racket! Getting a clean note is tougher than you’d think!
I can hum a few tunes actually. But just the starting parts. I’ll tell you if I find a tutorial somewhere.
Hmmm and what else?
How far on the bucket(?) list?
Bucket list? I don’t follow. :/
Well you know like Bucket list of stuff to do before you die….here more like before you start a new life!
Ah, that. Decent, I suppose. But for the swimming waala part. And that’s the one I wanted to do most.
Say hello to a certain Diwakar in NLS 5th year for me, will you?
to add to the list of movies- kung fu panda 2! 😛 preferably in 3D! and also despicable me 😀
Haan haan. I’m downloading them now, finally.
NO NO…do not watch alice in wonderland.i and my friends went to watch it in the theatre.the guys never returned after the interval.lol..:-)
it is sad
Are you kidding me?
It’s lightyears better than say Pirates or Harry Potter!
Why ‘Prince of Persia’ ? O_o
Guys Pirates was awful! watch I have got mail, and go through the whole list of ABC movie list…ALl of the movies in there are available on you tube 🙂 😀
ip results out !!
The Last Airbender? Fail. 😐
If you liked Biutiful, you’ll like Amores Perres. Inarritu is one interesting chap.
Very productive list btw, I’m really proud to know you 🙂 And congrats on the results!
And congrats right back at you !
I’ll watch ’em both, so then. Danke !
Aise bhi movies hote hain, Atulaa? Whatever happened to the good ‘ol lungi-swinging among-the-trees-romancing “Hero”?
hahahah. i love u man!
Er, isn’t that little, umm, you know what ? :p
tv series…”how i met ur mother”….m lovin it…:)…

🙂
6th Season finished two days after it aired. 8-)I’m downloading ‘The Inbetweeners’ and ‘Prison Break’ now. The Inbetweeners is a fucking riot !
All of You should not forget watching Alam Ara and Dhobhi Ghat. This is the one movie which decided your ranking.
two*
Good one!
@LawyerAsad’s tweet about The Deathwatch in today’s HT Brunch……. is that you, Asad ?? Clatgyan v/s Techgyan every sunday ..?
Aaah… No. I just discovered someone with similar name. And well, that is not me!
Seeing ‘The Last Airbender’ in that list just made me sad.
I haven’t seen it right ?
And cheer up ! It ain’t the end of the world.
Watch community, the tv show. its the best. EVER.
And dont listen to someone that said alice in wonderland wasnt good. i LOVED it.
No offence but COMMUNITY really sucks . Watch How I met your mother , then maybe you wudnt say that community is the best ever.
dude HIMYM is not even half as awesome or creative as community.. community is intelligent comedy where as HIMYM have same old jokes..!!
Paaras you forgot HANGOVER 2 😀
When I made this list, a couple of days after NLU-D results, I had no clue about Hangover-2.
Don’t waste you money seeing it. Damp squib, that.
