• shit. just wrote a awful long post and lost it. i hate rewrites.

  anyhow... just got back from the airport. Dropped dad off after his
  whirlwind trip to chicago. he was here for exactly and approximately 36
  hours and a few random minutes. Next he's off to Washington DC,
  Venezuela, Brazil, Portugal, Italy, somewhere else and then home by the
  end of the month. As Bubai just said, "It's great to have jetsetting
  parents." We just wish they'd need coffee boys, er girls.

  So what else is exciting in my life? I just watched The Hitchhiker's
  Guide to the Galaxy.  I liked the film. I loved Marvin.
  Whoever once called me Eeyore doesn't have to look far for parallels.
  Going to watch Star Wars Episode III next week Have to ask ma if
  she wants to go.

  As for bags aka Jholas, I just got about eight of them from a friend via mom. Thanks Raj. 
  Also, it seems that I've developed a fondness for Agatha Christie without me knowing it.
  Oh, where have all the Spike Milligan's gone? And saale, don't mention fabindia to me. I don't buy Rs 1148 shirts!

  Baki, it's been a time for reflections. My childishness has been acting
  up. I got an official complaint. What gets to me is that I've been
  doing things that I hated other people doing, behaving in ways that
  used to annoy the life out of me. It distinctly feels like my last few
  months in Pune.
  It tastes like the
  nights before the finals... when everyone else would be in their
  element and pushing it and cramming in the last few problems and just
  trying, I would go to sleep. And could I sleep.
  I still can.

  So anyhow, that's where I am. Trying to stay awake. Caribou does say
  'Life is Short.' My semester ends in two weeks. That's also the end of
  my coursework. Thesis to be done now. And whatever else.

  Now I'm off to visit P. She's been writing random stuff.
