recent things
off late :-
1. i went to school. what a nostalgic experience! seeing lil kids chewing ties and getting dirty rolling in the mud, 30 kids after a single football, big boys roughing the little ones, playing rounders, the old canteen, assembly lines, announcements, long break and the much hated bell that would end it, trying to squeeze the last few shots on basket even after the bell, indiscipline in the lines.... etc. i felt privileged that a several teachers i saw after 6 yrs actually recognized me themselves.
2. first experience in an operation theater. something called a chalazone (sort of pimple) on my lower right eyelid had to be surgically removed.. needles, anaesthasia, blue hospital clothes, pills, bandages etc.
3. football fever.. all the teams i root for keep getting screwed :( the czechs! idiots had a good team. first the injuries and then the red cards they keep picking up. the french are another mess. i guess i'll have to find new heroes. Nedved and Zidane are exhausted.
4. townside... went alone to townside, saw a movie in cinema all by myself. thats how bored i got today. MI-3 has an amazing first half and a very disappointing second. And the yellow lamborghini they blow up... i took a pic of an identical one on my eurotrip :) Townside bookvendors have vanished.... some BMC cleansing move ahead of the President's Mumbai tour. Townside has a lot of memories attached.. churchils, gateway, westside, sterling, marine drive, etc...
5. internet access denied for past two days... felt like some sort of blackout. so used to being connected and checking mail a dozen times. thankfully net is up and running at home once again
6. soundgarden.. spoonman, the day i tried to live, rusty cage, fell on black days, pretty noose, outshined, black hole sun :)
