haircut...
yes, my long tresses (???) are gone. I am back to looking the way I did two year ago (well, almost!). I cut my hair really short so that I could donate them for kids with cancer. I still have them, will post them off as soon as I get time for a breather!

Gosh, I am swamped with work. Have a short paper due to be presented on Friday, 14 December (Gah! only a week and no work done!) And then I have another due Tuesday, 18 December. Also, the UGC NET has thankfully been re-scheduled from 16 Dec to 30 Dec. Otherwise I'd have been severely screwed! It is crucial that I clear the NET this time, or else my dad will disown me, or I shall run away from home under the parental pressure! How come I haven't done so yet is a mystery that a team of Poirot, Holmes, Miss Maple et al cannot solve!

What else do I have to tell you?? mmmm..... ah yes. I went to this amazing place call Choko La at Khan Market with my friends a few days back, when poro was here. It was steep for our poor student wallets, but we managed! We ordered the Greek salad, a type of hot cocoa I don't remember the name of, and the most delightful choco-fondue platter. It was the best! Fruits and other goodie with hot chocolate sauce. the cupcake simply disappeared in one's mouth, and we all were making orgasmic sounds much to the embarrassment of the uncle sitting nearby! (hahahah!) Isa felt overdosed with chocolate, but I was only left hungry for more, and ever since have been dreaming of going back there!

And today was my parent's 31st anniversary. We went out to eat pizza. (O Yes, I did think of making them take me n di to Choko La, but it was too far and three of us came back home after 8pm! So, it wasn't possible to go there without dying of hunger!)

I am sure I have more news, but I cannot remember at this moment for the life of me! so, *yawn* shall retreat into me shell for the night....

until later..... bye

swastika

This is one of the many broken old tables from the Central Reference Library, now kept on the roof housing a small canteen. This canteen exists to cater to the hungry research scholars who spend countless hours in the library underneath.

But, isn't the resemblance to the swastika uncanny and eerie?

Where in the world is JR?

hello, my dear friends! I am back, out from my little shell... sorry have been gone so long... did u miss me? :) well, many reasons why I retreated into silence...

1. I was really sick, having eating loads of tamarind one night, my throat was jammed next morning. And then my illness kept mutating or something... ended up with a flu like never before. Maybe its also my low immune system since coming from the clean environs of Okinawa.
   
2. I had absolutely nothing to say. Its true! It seemed like my life was so boring that I had nothing to say. (Actually, it didn't seem so, it was so!)
   
3. Poro, my more-than-soul-sister-Friend came for a short stay. The days went by so fast. Spending time with her meant that I never felt the need to sit and write on ze blog.
   
4. Deadline. to submit my long paper proposal. Which has been approved without much trouble (Yippee!) I went mad thinking of some new and original topic from the contemporary Indian Art scene and English writing of modern India.
   
5. I honestly had nothing to say! (Wait I have said that before!)
