So, how are things?


Yeah, things are okay...moving towards fine...and one day, things will be great. I am not just waiting for that day but have started trying my best to work for it. After a long time, I managed to finish all the jobs I had planned to do in a day (tick marks on my planner say so).
  • Work is happening, but not at a great speed. It will move on gradually.
  • I have still not finished (actually not started) writing the draft of my research paper.
  • I am still avoiding my guide as I have not made the elaborate experiment plan for a period of a month.
  • Morning walks are also not happening. I have to get back to the normal schedule.
  • Room cleaning and decluttering still keeps me happy. Remember this?
  • Reading Amitabha Bagchi's 'Above Average' these days.
  • Have not touched the guitar since i dont know when. The latest excuse is that one of the strings broke.
  • The last of my fishes (and the most lovable one) is dead. I got four new ones today. I have become used to seeing some movement in that corner of my room.
  • Have started cooking more often these days.
  • Have started recieving at least 75% of the phone calls instead of rejecting/ignoring same number of phone calls.
  • Have not screamed at anybody of late (apart from a middle aged eve-teaser i encountered in the train 2 days back).
  • Have not seen a movie for almost 3 weeks now. Blood-movie level is falling. Will definitely go this weekend. But I will remember this quote whenever I am doing anything apart from working. (Mind you, blogging does not come under working or playing)

By working hard, you get to play hard guilt-free.

Even though many things stated in the above list are in the 'not happening' category, I am hopeful that they will start happening very soon. The biggest change I am observing in myself is that I am at peace with myself after a long time. There is no turbulence anywhere. I am gaining myself back. I want to stay this way, at least for a while... I deserve it.

A 'co-operative relationship' is at the centre of some of the positive changes I am seeing in myself. I would like to call it by this name for the time being, till something else happens... It takes a lot of time for it to happen at this age. At least that is what i can say about myself.

So, I have a 'positive' answer to this most frequently asked question?

A poem from childhood...

"Long legged Italy, kicked poor Sicily In the middle of Mediterranean Sea. Austria was Hungary Took a bit of Turkey Fried it in Japan Dipped it in Greece...." I remember only this much. This poem was my first attempt at learning the names of these countries and locating them on the map of the world. And I thought Austria and Australia were same. :-) It's time to confirm that I was wrong at that point of time, some twenty years back...

The stranger

Like every Mumbaikar, I had been praying for the monsoons to hit the city and provide some respite from the heat that was on a mission to burn us all. Now that the clouds had finally decided to fly in for their annual visit, they seemed to be as angry as the sun. This has been happening every year, leaving us with only two choices, to either drown in our own sweat or to let the ruthless downpour do its job. As the metro approached Andheri station, people started lining up at the door. With the coach nearly empty, I shifted to the corner seat next to the door. I was just two stops and 4 min away from my destination but that didn't stop me from grabbing my favorite seat the minute it got empty. That's how we have become, always running after something better and not appreciating what we already have. It was almost 9 PM. I climbed down the stairs of D N Nagar metro station, clutching my umbrella and feeling tempted to use it to push away the crowd. It didn't take long for...

I like 'Blue'

After working on my thesis (and doing some time-pass) whole night, I happened to peep out of the window and look at the striking shade of blue in the sky. I immediately looked around for my camera. It took some 90 seconds before I could click this photo and in that span of time the coloour of the sky changed a bit. Nevertheless, it is still very near to (but not exactly) the 'blue' which I like. I am neither very fond of a particular colour (except mauve and lilac) or hate a particular colour. I remember that as a child I didn't like 'yellow' at all. As I grew up, in my mind I started associating colours with different things. E.g. I like 'yellow' when it is a flower which I am looking at (and not Tata Nano or any other car). I would never wear a bright-yellow dress, but that doesn't mean I don't like the colour. Similarly, I love certain shades of 'blue' which look best in a sky or in a water body. Looking at any of my favourite colours (or...
