The One With Random Musings

As usual I have come back to make a post after many requests to update. My tagboard stopped working suddenly, dont know why and with that all my messages that were on my tagboard have also gone :(.

Well time once again to write whatever comes to my mind right now.
I'm listening to a song by Cher as I write. It's called 'Walking in Memphis'. If anyone is a X-Files fan, they will probably realize the significance of this song. This song is featured in the episode- 'Post-Modern Prometheus'. It is one of the sweetest episodes, considering The X-Files is not a show which has sweet episodes.

The Post Modern Prometheus is special in more than one ways. For starters, it is in black and white. Which kind of fits the episode also, as the town that Mulder and Scully visit is rustic and archaic at its best, both literally and in people's mindsets.

The next unique thing you notice about this episode is the Cher background to it. For a series which is as void of music and happiness as it can get, this episode has Cher tunes in various scenes.
It is a very touching episode in the sense that the monster is actually very good at heart. My heart goes out to The Great Mutato everytime I see this episode. It literally signifies how appearances can be deceiving.

And of course finally, and definitely not the least memorable thing- the Mulder/Scully dance. Its amazingly sweet how Mulder extends his hand to Scully and pulls her into his arms and they slow dance to the song. If you are or were as crazy about XF as I was at a point in time, just the memory of that scene brings a smile to the face.

I guess I havent written about my obsession for XF on this blog. It's another one of those things that I grew up with. I am a die-hard Mulder/Scully fan. I met couple of my couple of friends because we had this in common. Quite funny, when you think about it. When I was around 14-15 I think, my room used to be a collage of pictures of Mulder/David. The series is now over. I own the DVDs but I don't get to watch it with as much fervor as I used to at that time. My pictures and articles collection has dust forming over them. But not on the memories. I know, some people might think it's absurd to be so attached to a TV show.. but for me, it's not just a TV show.

I literally grew up with Mulder and Scully and their experiences, and those memories represent to me a time in life, when I did not have to worry about anything, when all I had to do was go to school and have fun, come back and have some more fun. It represents a time of blooming friendship with Aakanksha, Lalit and Mallika. It represents my teenage phase, when the only person I could dream of was David Duchovny. Aakanksha, Mallika and I had made a pact that we would go visit David sometime in our life, just to tell him how much we loved him.... seems funny eh? What the hell, I'm still game for it :)..


I've blogrolled a new blog.. it is one of my friend's blogs but the person prefers to be anonymous. I was just thinking about the concept of having a blog under a pseudonym. It really appeals to me right now, when I have a lot of stuff that I would like to put down but cannot. But on the other hand, I love it when people read my posts and comment on it. Even if they are people I don't know. I guess I don't have a choice now.. all my friends and then some know about my blog and visit it. Which is just as well I guess.


Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the delta blues
in the middle of the pouring rain
W.C Handy won't you look down over me
Yeah, Ive got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a girl can be

When I was Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off off Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do I really feel the way I feel?
