I'd begun a post tonight intending to rant about my problems: work and life and everything else in between. Then, as I was maybe half-way thru it, I found myself talking to S. She seemed to be a little off today so I asked...and then it all came out..a horror of a story which I will not mention here coz it would be a betrayal of a confidence...But I was astounded to hear of the things she's gone through in her very young life. I'm now looking at her with very new eyes and with a lot more respect.
After that conversation I find myself amazed that I have been messing my head over trivial things like workplace politics, weight gain, and other such incidentals.
So, no more rants. I'm going to log off, put on my Kermit-the-Frog woollen socks, go to bed and hopefully have pleasant dreams. Tomorrow will take care of itself.

Upon us all a little rain must fall

Today was definitely the "rainiest" day of this year. And I naturally had to be caught in the downpour, without an umbrella, at 8 o'clock at night. Couldn't see where I was going coz of the dark, and couldn't hurry coz of the injured foot. After a point it ceased to matter how wet I got. A perfect example of how everything is relative...The first autorickshaw I hopped into, simply died and refused to start. I think I was lucky to find another in the pouring rain. But I did, and managed to get home all soaked and shivering, my clothes sopping wet and my hair hanging down my back like so many rats' tails..Damn and I'd shampooed it today!

Right now I'm in that post-soaking phase where you're happy to be dry and warm again, and a little tired and sleepy from the whole adventure. There's a cup of tea in front of me, Dido's playing in the background, and I'm feeling...hmmm...mellow. Yeah, that's what I am right now. Mellow :-)

A nice lazy weekend after a long time. No big hectic plans apart from meeting a friend for coffee later in the afternoon. Maybe some grocery shopping and later a movie on the rarely-used dvd player...Then there's the P.G.Wodehouse from the library to finish..At some point of time today I need to get thru my list of chores, but for now I'm just happy listening to Dido and working out the Sudoku puzzle. Oh the joys of single life :-)
