you know, maybe im not leading such an uneventful life afterall..if this compilation is any kind of yardstick to be measuring the happening-ness quotient of my life against..seem to have done abt three quaters or more of these things

maybe im judgemental and suspicious.maybe ive just learned certain things that make me wary of giving some people the benefit of doubt..been there,done that,got the tshirt..and lived to regret it time and again..what irks me tho' in all this,isnt any of the above ..its just that afterall this time and with all that gyan..i still can't seem to stay detached..some people can get a reaction out of me no matter what..and the worst part is they know how true that statement is

and here's the reason why im smiling inspite of the lack of sleep and sad seminar..a few of my favorite ppl and oldest buddy junta are arriving shortly in chennai-land over the next few days..starting today..balu n wife in a few hours time..ice n gang on 30th..off to pondicherry for New Years!!! :))

first coherant thought of the day..Coffeeeee!!!..irrespective of whether the day has begun after a full 7hour rest(a rare luxury) or after an hour n a half of drifting in and out of a doze like last night(actually this morning..)function pretty much on groggy auto-pilot untill i fix myself that morning super-dose..one mug n im finally awake..another n im ready to face the day..a third...,and im bouncing off the walls..pure java-induced joy!which is precisely what im doing now..mid way thru' my second mug staring at a monitor at 6 in the AM working on somebody elses seminar..for absoutely no credit.sigh!! how i get myself into these situations,i dont know..

'neways, G'Morning campers.:)
feels good to be blogging again

Sometimes, a memory cannot do the person justice..especially at a time like this..with so much happening..a lot of it so familiar n perhaps as much of it,so new..cant help turning around that once in a while expecting to see him..in the middle of everything,running the show and having the time of his life doing it..makes you realise how much of a difference one person's absence can make.sure i dont need a physical presence to know ur around,but just this once mr.felix up in the sky,i wish i still had the tangible you..so i could stop wondering for once..and so you'd just tell me what you're thinking..and maybe help me make sense of what i was thinking too..the way only you could..

have spent the evening laundering my life..consequently have loads of rubbish bags..and yet another 'u da best-est,smartest,sanest' thank you hug to the lil brotha
and a reason to start new blog perhaps..

hmm..

my zillionth attempt at blogging..
the previous ones dint last beyond a few months..have the attention span of a goldfish unfortunately..serious ADHD..
this time hopefully ill stick with it
