flunked...
i flunked the driving test much to my amusement. i got 9 questions wrong out of 36! It was fun! i went around telling everyone i failed! :) i will give the test again next week.
Much to my dismay, i have been invited to a barbecue party on sat and a dinner party on sunday. i am thinking of turning down the barbecue invitation. But the sunday do is a must-go so there goes my sunday solitude.
Work has been exciting. Got some tricky bugs to fix. A little challenge is always good for the soul.

sunday solitude
Another day spent without seeing another human face - apart from those on TV - i am quite enjoying this solitude. Was thinking maybe i would spend the next weekend without turning on the TV, with just my books to see how total solitude feels like. Is this healthy? But once in a while, i think it is great just to be all alone, with my thoughts for company - talking to myself, smiling at myself in the mirror and actually liking what/who stares back at me!
i gorged on and completed another book - A mind to murder - not actually thought provoking stuff but what the heck! Solitude and crime. Does solitude breed criminal thoughts? Not that any of my thoughts, well, at least today's thoughts, bordered on the criminal. But i was wondering if i, say, spend a month like this, would i become insane? Or would i achieve nirvana? Maybe i would end up penning a "how to be all alone and not be lonely" kind of bestseller. i think i am already on my way to a loony bin!
i am planning to give the driving test exam tomorrow. Not too keen on driving here but it has been ages since i gave an exam and i want to see whether i would flunk. i have not even read the manual but some previous question sheets. The other night i dreamed i was going to give an exam and i had not even completed reading the book. i was scared shit! i mean, when i was a kid, i gave exams after two-three rounds of revision because getting the highest marks was the only thing in my head then. These days, the only thing on my mind is - blank. A nice peaceful kind of blank.
Maybe that is the beauty of solitude - it cleanses your mind. Of everything. And leaves it spanking clean for you to start all over again. What more fun than to corrupt a blank mind all over again.

sat night ....
Finally managed to drag myself up from bed at 2 in the afternoon. Ema will have a fit if she hears about it! Had pancakes and a croissant for lunch....got back to bed again to finish a book -cold and pure and very dead - yes, that is the name of the book. Had bhelpuri smothered with aloo...
Called up my sis and talked to her about 2 hours. After we finally managed to get off the phone, i was wondering what we talked about non-stop for so long. It is about everything and nothing-gossip of the family, who is doing what, who said what to whom, who is going where. Then the TV going-ons - what is happening in which serial, who got booted out in Indian Idol..Then bollywood news-did i know bipasha broke up with john, did she know lara has broken up with dorji! And himesh, how wooden he is, who are the people watching his movie....blah blah and more blah. Girls!!
S's parents are going back earlier than planned as his thakuma is sick. the poor guy was so depressed. i told him to tell kakima i will come over and cook briyani for them before they leave. Trying to show off my culinary skills! shesh...
i had half boiled eggs for dinner. i think i just might transform into a twig by the time i go back. god, if he comes to know, i will get an earful.

talking in my sleep...?
after 12 in the morning and i am still in bed...i think if i sleep some more i just might turn into sleeping beauty/bitch!
With the curtains drawn, i can never make out how it is outside - it feels like night 24 hours!
And for the want of anything better to do, here i am, with tousled hair, blogging about nothing. Am i sleep-talking?
i got up because i was expecting a mail from him. Was not disappointed. Now, maybe it is time to go to sleep again...
