I am ill. And I have been watching films day long for the past few days, one after the other.
I am directing action thrillers in my sleep and it's exhausting because nobody is doing anything right in my dream and therefore, I am frantically darting across from one frame to another, trying to make it work. It is all in frames. Every single event is in a separate frame. My entire dream is thus, in frames so I also end up feeling pretty claustrophobic.
Also, these days the action in films gives me shivers.
I have never felt uncomfortable, even for the slightest bit watching action films no matter how grotesque they get.Wrist-breaking, neck twisting, axe-beheading, blood, gore, amputation for non-medical reasons-name it I'm fine with it.
There was this one really bad film I saw called The Hills Have Eyes and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
But the ones I've been watching lately, they tend to show stuff that I imagine, myself.
Like in The Dark Knight, Batman throws this fellow off the roof and he lands on his feet so his bones break.
Aaah..
Now that is stuff I imagine happening to me if I fell.

I am feeling very unwell.
I spent half an hour last night lying flat on the bathroom floor trying to throw up but I couldn't.
I have taken a bath and worn good clothes in order to make myself feel better.
And now, I want to go out somewhere.
But I have been left home alone.

It is Chintu-Pintu's birthday today.
Happy Birthday to them.
