Sometimes strange behavior of people (towards me) totally shifts my bearings.But knowing that most of them have been around here for the same amount of time as me (27 something, maybe more, maybe less), makes me feel ok. It awakens a strange compassion inside me.I hope that’s the case with them too! 😀-nightflier

After almost 2 years I called up aai early in the morning and asked her for her recipe of Dhirda (marathi dosa). (Mom Special I)[clarification : I call up my folks everyday.

2011 was more or less the year of books for me!And since I needed a challenge to keep going, I thought ‘lets try to read 50 books this year’. Well, I finished 35 (honestly, I did not read last 30 pages of ‘The Difficulty of being good’. Too much that book was!)Here’s a break down…

N1 said very nonchalantly ‘I always knew I was no good with academics beyond a limit, so I dropped out of the race and did something I could really cope with’. We beamed at her proudly. It takes rare self-awareness at a younger age to arrive at such decisions. Of course her family never objected…

On a rather dull work day, I read a Samit Basu tweet about a books giveaway and for fun indulged in creating a wishlist of books at uread.comOk, so on another note, as a bus commuter, having books ready for the coming month and planning accordingly becomes a huge part of the obsessive game plan.…

Since we are running out of lists to make this month, a recent fight with a friend drives me to write this.I am not well with words during fights. Have never been in real physical fights. Oh well. I should stop taking things too literally. Anywho, since I am a sagittarius and aai normally warns me…
