sleep therapy
When it gets too much to bear, i sleep and drift off to another world where pain has no address. Maybe i will be another Rip Van Winkle (or wrinkle or whatever..how does it matter?). In the end, nothing matters...absolutely nothing. So screw life...Let me just sleep.....

restless in imphal
What is it about my life that my plans always go the "man proposes god disposes" way? Last to last sunday, we were blissfully doing our sunday fill-up-the fridge shopping. We were almost at the end of it when a call came from his home to tell him to come home as soon as possible.
We decided to fly home that very day. Since we are antique pieces, we do not own a single credit card between us and since they don't let you use debit card, i called up S in the States to get hold of a kid who has a indian credit card tgo buy us our tickets and send us the scanned copy of the credit card. S, always my saviour, did the needful. We threw in a couple of clothes and rushed to the airport.
It is such tough time to see a person waste away - from being an active, ever bubbly self to a vegetable in bed, not being able to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. It is tough specially when the person is someone close to you and even tougher to see the guy you love go through the pain of seeing his own mother not being able to recognise him. i don't know how i am coping - i feel i am in an emotional daze. One day at a time, that is how i am taking it. The end of the day sees me totally exhausted - mentally and physically. i only hope i can go through this without snapping.
One bright spot is that i can make near perfect rotis now. Now if only perfectly round rotis could disperse the gloom in my life.

friday---
The “skeleton” web page is almost done. i designed the logo myself using paint and photoshop. i am getting a kick out of it. i gave a preview of the web page to my seniors and both the S and the reception has been wonderful. i am going to make it more stylish and incorporate more features. i only hope i don’t lose enthu mid-way as is wont to happen to me.
We might be going to Imphal next week. Plans are afloat for me to start working from home. i like my project – they are going the extra mile to ensure that i am not on leave without pay. The broadband connection and the power supply – that is what i am worried about. Lets see how things work out for me.

harvest my love
When my heart overflows with love,
Would you harvest some and save it
For the days when love runs low?

ki title rakhbo?...
The training season is going to start from next month. S has roped me in for 4 classes. i was not too keen on taking classes again – it getting kinda boring. Oh well, i have to pay the price for being knowledgeable – don’t you love my immodesty?
i have volunteered to build the web page for our project. This has been in the pipeline for quite some while but since we are not that familiar with all the intricacies of web design, it never took off. Now i come flying to the rescue! i am agog with excitement. This is going to be my first “live” web page and my test by fire. i hope to create a better one than S did for his project!
S-onsite is going to be the event leader for this year’s walk for a well known NGO. He asked me about ways to attract more people this year. i will miss the event – i was hoping to run the half marathon this time.
Back home, my sister has bought an i-10 and Baba seems to be over the moon. He goes on about how nice the car is, how effortless the steering is. i think the old car is going to be totally neglected.
