Back

So I am back. I should have written earlier, at least to say that I finished the marathon but after going over it so many times on email and phone and conversation with folks, I couldn't get myself to write it up again. I know - that probably sounds cocky but that's the truth. Suffice to say I took longer than I thought I would, the experience was different from how I thought it'd be, my injuries made a big difference and all in all, I was really glad to cross the finish line.

That said, what have I been up to in the last month and more since I wrote? Nothing much really - I've been working most of the time and not working the rest of the time. I know, I know - but c'mon - it's close to midnight and this is my blog. So I really should be allowed to say anything I want to :) Jokes apart, there's been a lot of work, though. Interestingly, after grumbling abt it for a week or so, I've sort of had an enlightenment. I've realized that this is basically how life is going to be. There is no golden deadline after which things get better, so you just have to live your life around the busy schedule that you have. This thought has improved my outlook and my mood significantly, I must say. Another advantage is that I've now attained a level of immunity to pressure that I have never been able to get to all my life. Case in point - I have a presentation to give at work tomorrow and I still haven't the faintest clue what I am going to be talking abt. I have 5-6 slides that I came up with over 10 mins before packing up from work and that's it. No plan, no data, no big picture. I am hoping it will all magically come to me tomorrow morning. And hope, as we all know, is the best thing there is.

Other than that, I've managed to fit in falling-in-love into my schedule. Richard Armitage - no, not the Sec'y of State of the US, but a handsome handsome British actor. I saw this guy in a BBC version of North and South and have been devoted to him since. The guy is tall, handsome as hell, has that wonderful British accent and had his rite of passage playing the brooding and handsome Mr.Thornton - what's not to like? So, I've decided that I will add a little piece on him in my blog occasionally.

So, here's RA's status for today : still smoldering.

Alrightey then, time to go to bed. Have to be up early tomorrow to get cracking on that presentation ( God save me - and the folks who have to listen to me! - or maybe I'll get lucky and wake up tomorrow to realize that I am in middle earth, after all. Alright, alright - goodnight!).

Metronome

I'm chasing after you in the gathering dusk, you're racing far ahead, fading into the sunset. Can't catch up to you, can't hold on to you, always looking back, wondering when I first lost you. And this sand in the hour glass, it's rushing fast. This river of continuum, it gushes past. The clock unwinds, the moon tugs the tides, while I'm caught in between what was and will be. So I'm letting go, I'm tired of the chase I'll find some peace in this moment's embrace. Just take my hand in yours, let's run to the daybreak and burst into this life, finally awake. Finis

fractious

It's been a good set of days. The week itself was fun, what with hanging out with folks on Wed - and before I forget, here's a shout out to "S" and "Y" for reading/pretending to read by blog and requesting to star in it ;-) - and watching "Up" the next day with the usual gang (awesome movie!). P was flying in on Friday and a few hours before his departure from O, it was decided that we would attempt to hike up Mt.Washington. As usual it was a slightly imbalanced plan. Late Friday night, I set out to pick him up from the hour-away airport. Somehow this turned into a road trip for 3 of my concerned friends. Suffice to say that there were bad jokes a plenty and some rather interesting conversation. Randomness abounds in my life. Anyways, it was around 2 am by the time we crashed and I actually managed to be up by 6.30 am the next morning. By 8.30 we were showered, breakfasted and packed and P was armed with enough stuff to survive a hurricane and live

lynchpin

It happened! The first celebrity sighting in a long long time. Obama and his daughters. They were at my place and I was figuring out their sleeping arrangements along with my brother and sis-in-law. OK, so you must know that this was in my dream. I must say it's one of the wackiest dreams I've ever had. I was stressing out last night on the whole iPhone vs Blackberry Storm before I went to bed and so it follows that early this morning I dreamt that Mr.O and his daughters were visiting me, my bro and my s-i-l. It was funny. There we were, 3 hosts and 3 guests and we had this one room where I was trying to arrange all the beds and sleeping bags so everyone could sleep comfortably. My sister in law was fretting about making sure every one was comfortered and my bro was a little sleepy and grumpy and I just wanted them all to settle down and go to sleep. The biggest problem somehow was where Aliana (that was his younger daughter's name in the dream) would sleep - not sure why.
