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…

So I am learning another language. No it cannot be spoken. And it deals with computers.Thank you for the boos.Moving forward. I was wondering whether the fact that our teacher is a total geek has anything to do with my increased levels of interest. Or how he tells stories about the evolution of the language…

It’s allowed to be cheesy/soppy about oneself on birthdays. After all the hindi film values one has imbibed, it becomes mandatory.So allowing myself the right of not growing up enough when required, I would say I grew up a long time back.
