Oh well...

Was it divine providence?
Or just the lame happenings
Of bygone days
That memory wouldn't relinquish?
For time yields
And I will let them be
I have kicked the dust
To walk past ahead
While you lie in the shrouded mists
Of my remembrance
Until all of 'you' is effaced
Into the worthless abyss of time

Mid-week off!

The holiday on America's birthday was more than welcome! Apart from it being another holiday it was a mid-week holiday - which I much liked. I am sure most of you would too. This Wednesday holiday suggested me of many more pleasant soothing mid-week holidays, if at all they were an option! And why not so!? Just when you thought you are out of your monday blues and settle into your tuesday the mid-week wednesday holiday is right there! And just another 2 days and you will be off for the weekend! I could not help but think of all the positive effects of this. There were times when I wanted to just laze at home in the weekends - yet I would take off shopping and partying. With this wednesday off I could do all the resting and lazing on the wednesdays and all the fun in the weekends! Sounds too good! Oh I wish!! Wednesdays would then have been a day for naps, lots of coffee and reading books!

Speaking of which, in the last 45 days I have read 6 books - not a great feat, I am delighted much the same. Ever since setting foot on the US, this is the first time I read so much at a stretch and I am oh so glad! An equal music(Vikram Seth), Animal Farm and 1984(George Orwell), Catcher in the rye, Sidney Poitier's autobiography and Tolkien's The Hobbit. All of them made for an enjoyable and thought provoking reading! I have 2 more to finish before I leave to India. And they being - Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Love in the time of cholera and the other being the much celebrated "The world is flat". I would love to boast and yap about my 8 books feat to my dad! So much for the love of books!

These days....

These days I am lazy! So lazy that I just get to bed after coming home from work.
These days, weekends have been fun! For many reasons! :)
One of these days I watched Oceans' thirteen - I loved it!
Even these days I love New York for what it has offered me! Much more than I expected!
And these days Washington DC is great too!
And these days Im loving life!

These days I finished reading 1984 and Animal Farm and Sidney Poitier..

Whenever i read books, especially ones that really appeal to me, I like to discuss them with someone who has read it. but not necessarily liked it. But then most of my friends are in different cities or we just end up not talking about books! And then me and a friend of mine thought about having a Blog Book Club. I will be very happy to have avid book readers to contribute here. Any takers?!

For starters I wrote about 1984 and would love to have it discussed on the Blogging arena. So here it is - Raw renditions
