i’m leaving for a ten-day vipassana course *(though i know my parents don’t fully approve). see you all soon, and be good while i’m gone 😉 thanks praveen, for letting me go 😡 *update: just approved 🙂

deepu, i bought raakhis for our cousins yesterday. i guess this is the first time we’ve not had to buy them as a pair, as we do each year. i missed you di :’-(

i was missing gayatri so much today i called her up and stole an umma from her. then i undid the band that bound the bead-curtain, and giggled to myself as they clattered aloud, happy to be free. it’s true…the joys of life are in the living 🙂

i watched a breezy little leaf race past a solitary me last evening. it made me wonder about entelechy…because this journal actually just got me a job!

learning of the day: easy come… easy go.

most of the unpacking is done. i’m finally settling in my new home, silently hoping to shake away my blogger’s block soon.

van driver breaks his leg at the last moment. praveen and zubin leave immediately — very excited. after all, they’ve never driven such a huge thing before. sigh… boys.

two more days before we begin to shift, and i haven’t got beyond 40 percent of the packing yet 😮

hey!! i just got featured on guardian for having one of uk’s best blogs! hmm, now encouragement of this sort…i like, i like :-))

just 10 days to move into our new home…the countdown begins 🙂
