waxy life...

Have been slogging my butt off to make the deadline. No books, no blogging. But i am off the hook now. Till the next deadline, that is. But hey, ain't complaining. i get paid for this. As long as the dough flows, baby, i am game for hard work.

i have turned to my candles again - got myself some dyes and mold sealer from ebay. i actually got an order for my candles - my first! Wowie, am i faltered. One of my colleagues asked me to make about a hundred candles to sell during the durga puja celebration over here. But since i have just about a month left here, i had to turn down the order. It is a nice thought to know i have an alternative career should i ever get sick of coding and trouble shooting. My friends have been goading me to sell my candles on ebay. But i have to work out the profitability factor before i join the bandwagon of ebay-ers.

Here are some of my new creations-



Ever the over-confident bitch, i have not gone for the 10K practice. Would do me good if i were to quit halfway - that would just do enough to bring my confidence level a notch down.

Just a month left. i sure will miss this bed, this room. i am beginning to love solitude - not that i ever hated it before. i could live like this for ever - books, a fast wireless connection, candles and TV. What more do i need? Can't think of anything.

Sex and the city is my fave thing on TV now - well, after NCIS, Law and Order and CSI. Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw is so real. After the Salonis , Banis and Mamtas of Indian television, it is a refreshing change. i made a discovery while channel surfing - movies with "strong adult content"!! Since i am an adult, i decided i could watch without getting morally corrupted (actually, there is no more scope for corruption - i am already saturated!). But boy, after half an hour i got actually bored of it!! god, am i on my way to sainthood? Well, at least half an hour away!!
