This is just an arbitrary list of things I miss this moment...

• Kwality Walls (and even Mama Mia)


• Being home, being hidden from the world in my room, doing nothing just lying dead on my bed.


• Refrigerator


• Washing Machine


• VH1


• Waiting for evening when mom will come back from work and I won't have to get bored alone at home anymore.


• The whole thing about being home, being in Calcutta, a lovely city where just everyone's invited!


• That gulmohar tree in front of my window. It must be so full of flowers right now.


• A Cafe Coffee Day whichever way you look, especially the one right next to my new home: It seems to say everytime I'm gettin back: 'welcome back home!'
  
• The Telegraph - hopeless newspaper; I even miss the hopelessness!


• At home, I describe a sultry afternoon as sultry; here, it just sucks :(


• I can write no more, I feel very very sad today.

March 03, 2009; The Telegraph:

A man walks in the snow in New York on Monday. A massive late winter snowstorm pummelled much of the US east coast on Monday, leading to hundreds of flight cancellations and school closings. (AFP)

And this is God's own country, they tell us: Kerela

Its February and I'm in the northern hemisphere so according to all the geography I have ever studied I should be enjoying atleast a cool weather right now, but since I'm stuck in Calicut which happens to be too close to the equator, it doesn't really make muc difference which side of the equator I'm on I guess, it's gonna be equally pathetic on both the sides, all year round!!!
Its not cool and I am not enjoying!! And from what I've heard, it only gets worse till we leave for summer. And thid time we have an extra-long semester (no complains about the semester getting extended ;) though) but we're gonna be stuck here, right under the sun for a long long time; so I'm really dreading what's coming up, an addition to all my never-imagined-this-could-happen-to-me-at-college experiences!!
So everybody at college, take care, drink loads of water (lest u get dehydrated and end up having to spend a night at BMH!! Trust me, hostel is heaven after a night at BMH) n loads o everything else you can get your hands on ;)
And oh yeah, keep an eye on the Ragam blog as well; that would be http://ragam09.blogspot.com ;)

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standingin summer air

See the lights,
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
To say hello
Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go,
And I said:

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a lovestory baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go
And I said:

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a lovestory baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real,
Don't be afraid
We'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes, oh,

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
I said:

Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knealt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said:

Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes!

Valentine's day is coming up again and with it comes that whole cards thing I wrote about last year. Someone just came by knocking at our doors to sell them to us - courtesy call - you gotta buy one for your sake!
This year they ain't as disgusting as last year but instead, are so damn cheesy I now think last year's was better. Anyways, like it makes any difference to me! In case anyone's interested, do keep coming back to this page. I will put up stuff if anything interesting happens; though I have a feeling you're gonna turn out to be hell lucky, nothing interesting will happen and I'll have nothing to write here and hence you'll be saved from reading anything!!

Here it is!

It's our first sessionals this week and it makes me so gloomy! First sit and study and then, find you've ruined all your exams and your GPA is plunging down at the speed of light!
What happens everytime exams come around is I suddenly begin to notice all the wildlife around me! Like just now I spotted two baby peacocks playing outside my window. And the moment I get my cam out, they're gone!
So no pictures for you guys to see. But, last semester, I did manage to capture some of it (the wildlife) so I'm gonna put that up, right here, for all of you to see.

The first bunch is this family of mongooses that I think lives right across from my window!



Next is this slug I photographed in our bathroom the morning of my last exam last semester I think, when I really should have been studying but was so bored!!
