December 8, 2016 | Awake & Dreaming

I have 4 days off from work this week – took two days leave and two days is my weekend – so it’s as good as a time as any to start my Star Trek movie watching. I do this every two years, watch all the movies in order. This year because of Star Trek Beyond getting released, I started off with the reboot films and have seen Beyond 2 times already.

This afternoon I watched Star Trek The Motion Picture and it blew me away with the vision and grandeur of production for that time which was truly amazing. And I have seen this film 3 times before! By the end of the year I will have finished all remaining 9 films. I hope to do this every 2 years for as long as I live. Star Trek is a passion and a longing for me and it’s always a pleasure to watch, read or discuss about it.

As 2016 comes to a close I will be watching Star Trek till the end cause I am also re-watching Star Trek Enterprise and Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

If you were the new leader of your country and had the chance to transform something that’s currently an annoyance (or worse) into a very fun activity, what would it be? How would you go about the change, and why would you choose that particular thing?

So I get elected as the new PM, first thing I would do is make it mandatory for 3 day weekends. Everyone needs some extra time off. Maybe increase the working hours per week if needed but three days off for everyone. Making Friday part of the weekend is excellent.

Now what current annoyance can I make into a fun activity? Public transport. Indian buses, trains and metros are boring and dull. It’s crowded and smelly and mostly everyone not in first class seats in a train can’t wait to get off. SO we’ll make things entertaining and get musicians and entertainers like jugglers, mimes and others to keep things fun. No more boring journeys to work or back again.

I dunno what else. How about court cases that are in the form of musicals? Oh boy, I’d go to court to see those.
