The Happy Gardener

And softly fell the snow. Snow fall, by the light of a street light, is one of those intensely beautiful sights of nature. The silence and stillness associated with it heighten that intensity. I got a glimpse of this as I closed the blinds in my bedroom a short while ago. Now, with a dose of Nyquil and Latika's theme music from Slumdog Millionaire for company, I shall try once more to debug an issue in my code. Good luck to me. Note to self: Try blogging under the effect of Nyquil/Advil PM some time(an hour or so after the intake). That should be interesting. Good night, me hearties!

Back after a busy week or so and a fun, relaxing weekend in Cali. Tangent: Had switched on the TV as I picked up my laptop to blog and happened to watch Anoop Desai sing "Angel of Mine" on American Idol. Simon Fuller, after listening to the song, told this guy that he had (and I quote) "massive likeability". Massive Likeability. I like that. Next time I am asked to do a peer review for one of my co-workers, I think I'll put that in " X needs to work on his/her planning abilities but, on the other hand, has Massive Likeability". Back from Tangent: So came back after a nice break. It was just what the doctor ordered. A clean break from work and the usual routine. And loads of fun too. Got a chance to catch up with old and close friends after a while. Actually the last few weeks have been interesting like that. Old friends have been popping in and I got quite a chance to observe and learn more about them. I am intrigued by people and I think it's fasc

I am in bliss. Tired, fed to the gills, favorite-blue-pajamaed and comforte(re)d. This is the life. Rewind and what have you? A pleasant morning :cleaning up, pottering abt the house and some errands. Then I set off for my performance. As usual, my slot was almost towards the end of the show. So I amused myself taking my time with costume/makeup, thinking abt this and that, fascinating the heck out of this 5 year old sitting one row ahead of me, and occasionally watching the other performances. Anyways, point being, I arrived home late in the evening and hungry as hell. (This always happens when I have dance recitals but I will never learn.) I then proceeded to plough (take that Spellcheck! I like my English the English way) my way through a la-aa-arge eggplant parmesan sandwich and fries. Hence the bliss. Hence the inability to breathe in a prone position. Hence the blog. You never know what a day will teach you. Today, for instance, around 1.30 pm, I learned how to pick a lock. Well,

So I started this post with nothing in mind. I just came up with the title word and decided to post. I know, I know. You're thinking - "isn't that what you do all the time, anyways?". And no, I don't. I actually have some thoughts in my mind before I post. Yes, it is true. I actually think about those random things that I post. Alright, so that's one paragraph. Moving on :-) I want to take this opportunity to thank Mr.Darnell Dockett (DT, Arizona Cardinals) for sacking Ben Roethlisberger. Twice.I was getting so tired of him having all the time in the world, before he finally threw the ball. And of him just towering over the rest of the players, in general. Good job, Mr.D. ** Back after a break. Spent the last 20 mins trying to start watching a movie, puzzling over why my DVD remote won't work, tapping it, searching and finding a fresh set of batteries for it, changing the batteries, trying it, being stumped by why it would still not work before realizing t
