• 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…
