Shopping time. I have no idea why am I being so happy about it. Maybe, thats what this blog is all about.
1. Finally there is light !
Yes... I bought a table lamp finally. This happens to be one of the absolute necessary things in my life. My US experience has been so different in so many ways. Not all of them have been rocking. Not having a bed side lamp was one of the basic things missing from my life.
2. Pending no more...
There is so much personal and office work that I finished/planned. A sense of accomplishment really for a lazy bum like me.
3. Wanted
Everytime I talk to family and friends back in India- I feel so important and wanted. It is one of those rare occasions when it seems I am lucky to be alive and walk around with pride.
4. The Long Walk
I recommend this book to anybody who feels life has been unfair to them (even for a moment). Sławomir Rawicz, a Polish soldier who was arrested by Soviet occupation troops after the German-Soviet invasion of Poland. He and six others escaped and walked over 6500 km (4000 miles) south, through the Gobi desert, and over the Himalayas to India. I don't think I have even reached the part in the book, where the escape is planned. I am still in the parts where he is tortured by them after his arrest. The book's shock factor makes it a very interesting read.
5. 'Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan'
What a playful and meaningful song ! I soooo love it :)
You will find the english translation on the youtube video.
