All you need is, All you want is...

Love. And DMB, friends and the night sky

Perfect :)

Summer's end

Sigh. It went by too quickly. Contrary to an earlier post (was it that long ago?), it was less about reading and more about doing. In fact that was the biggest achievement this summer -realizing that I prefer practical applications to theoretical principles.

All in all, I had a fabulous time.It felt nice to have the weekends and evenings. I enjoyed having enough time to things I liked and have some more time on top of that to waste :)

Okay, back to school now...

pH level

Warning: This may sound really corny to everyone out there but I don't know how else to put it.

My brother got placed in a company that he was very keen on today and I was feeling so happy that I started thinking about how happy I felt. Since the last book I read was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (now you know where I am heading...) , I felt I was happy enough to produce a Patronus. My pH level i.e. patronus Happiness level was very high (you can stop cringing now, that was the corniest part)

I was trying to recall the other times when I was this happy. They include the time when I was on a college trip with people who would later become my closest friends, when I was back home after two years and just relaxing lying on the rooftop and staring at the starry night with my closest friend, midnight ice cream walks with the "Delhi cousins" amongst others

Anyway, the point of this post to express how happy I am right now, sitting on the couch, listening to music and drinking tea. What a great, GREAT summer :)

Spine Chilling

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars--on stars where no human race is.
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places

--Desert Places by Robert Frost

For some reason, these lines kept popping into my head today evening. Strange, given the absolutely wonderful weekend I had...

Sated

My quarter is over and I just performed my end of quarter ritual. I went to the library and borrowed books for the next three months. Spent a couple of hours just walking and browsing amongst the 3rd floor of Green Library. This for me is the ultimate luxury in life- to have both time and books at your disposal.

I had completed my online research before going and had a list of four books but came back with nine! They are all lying in a crooked pile on my study table and just looking at their spines is sending shivers of pleasure down mine.

Here's to a summer full of Blue mangoes ,Wilt, Shopgirls,and ironically enough, being Bookless.

Baby Talk

Ahhhh, what a difference food and a nap can make :)
