Insomnia

1:45 AM
Lying awake at night trying to sleep doesn't help anyone. It adds to anxiety that you don't sleep when you have to wake up early. But when did we ever manage to sleep when we were anxious, throughout the history of our living race?

So I decided to wake up and relax. I let go of my minds instruction to sleep, for my mind knew that if you don't sleep well, you waste your next day.

Sleep: When you shut down from all your state of awareness. You are a lump of mass then. At the most vulnerable of state. You can be overridden by a truck and you won't know, or be trampled by people when you don't see it coming. So for a good sleep you need to rest your worries way. You have to find a cave in your mind where you can surrender your arms and shields.

So can I sleep when awake?
I don't think so. Because, when you are awake, you are aware. You see, hear, feel, taste, think. You process garbage just because you are aware. For sleeping you need to unplug. Let go.

Why am I not sleeping then?
Bcoz ... I ha'ent leht gooo..

08:45 AM: 
Time to wake up and get ready work. 
(Sleep? Who?)

Skyfall

'M dies, leaves Bond with her porcelain bull dog wearing the flag of United Kingdom, and a few drops of tears. Yes, Bond cried when she died in his arms.'

The movie begins with Bond fighting some anonymous agent, on a train, and coincidentally, or due to some lack of dramatic action, there is a Earth Mover that Bond uses to get closer to the anonymous agent. Meanwhile, he is hit by sharpnels, almost derailed, and thanks to the Earth Mover, he still manages to remain on the train. A few more fight scenes, and the good for nothing co-agent shoots Bond, and we let a tiny shriek, imagining that Bond is dead (only that we know he isn't dead or else the movie would be over in 10 mins). The other guy shares a 'thank you' moment with the co-agent, and enjoys the remaining journey on the roof of the train (really glad that the co-agent didn't shoot him, or else the movie would have ended there as well).

After a few months, or days may be(as there is no fixed timeframe), MI6 is blown up by some hacker, and M is shaken but not stirred. And Bond, lost somewhere in a world where girls are hot and free and people cheer a weirdo drinking with a scorpion on his hand, somehow watches the news about MI6 being blown up. Not quite sure what happened in there, but that call of duty brought him out.

M briefs Bond about his next mission 'Find out who did it'.

Fast forwarding through a stint with a childlike 'Q' with a 'One-Republic' hairstyle,few dead people, a Komodo dragon in Shanghai, and another hot-to-be-dead girl, who takes him to 'Silva', who is the villain and is gay. Javier Bardiem (I fondly remember him as Anton Chigurh) reveals the master-plan, and 5 secs of action later, he is caught. Mission Accomplished. What? Really? It never is that simple, really, and sounds like a bed time fairy tale for a 5 year old. 'Silva' is held in a type of Lock-Up only seen in X-Men (Magneto), Silence of the lambs (Hannibal Lectar), where he shows M his Gollum-like teeth, that he wants to kill her for something she did out of morality and duty.

'Silva wants to kill M'

'Polymorphic Engine that mutates the code' says Q, while trying to access Silva's laptop. 'Security through Obscurity', a Micozyte, only 6 programmers in the world know how to code that, and of course, M invented that. Sadly, the genius gets fooled, the 'Villain' manages to sneak out. Silva had planned this entire thing through. A tube crashes out, M is attacked, and Bond sneaks her away, to his home in Scotland. Some ideas that look ingenius, but make no sense, help them kill 20 men, crash a helicopter, and leave the only one remaining, Silva. Silva does some psychotic acting leaving M teary eyed, and is about to blow himself up along with M. Bond arrives right on time and kills Silva. And M dies too.

So what really happened?
Silva wanted to kill M.
M wanted to save England (should be UK/Britain) from Silva, who had no such plans.
Moneypenny was perenially horny.
Bond did what he whatever he does.
M dies. Silva wins. The new M is Voldemort.
