1. You know how you listen to a song once and then feel like you have to hear it at least 5 times every day? My current dig is All at sea by Jamie Cullum. Totally love the feel of that song.
2. Had a wonderful friendship day, getting wishes and hugs at midnight, as I was at this lovely little getaway in the outskirts, complete with a lake and treehouse, fish pond et al. Made my way back to the city by evening, and my cousin offered to take us out for pizza. Me and my sisters shamelessly exploited his offer and ate till the cheese gave us rashes. It was really a fun time and we ended up having quite a few hurts-in-the-belly type laughter moments. Then, in the cold of the night, we had icecream as we discussed absolutely crazy things like "how do you think they put one inflated balloon into another?"
These are the kind of days that make you smile when in bed at night. *sigh*
(My cousin's gonna have a little hurts-in-the-belly moment himself when he reads this!!)
3. Do not pluck and eat tamarinds when they're not ready to be eaten. Just don't do it.I had a whole lot of green, sour ones that made me wink and make funny sounds while eating. But the next day...oh, you don't wanna know.
4. Meeting teachers from school is a very uplifting experience.As long as you do so rarely and have little brief conversations.Because after they're done with stuff like,"ohh look at you all grown up...what do you do now? I still remember when..." there's pretty much nothing left to talk about.You smile, they smile, you smile some more, and then nod your head
and move to the next teacher, answering the same questions.
It's uplifting because they actually believe you've become that responsible citizen...something you want to believe too but Ohhh, ma'am you have no idea.
That said, love all you teachers, noble profession you chose! More power!
5. Have been having a string of fish-out-of-water experiences for quite a long time now.Getting used to that feeling, is that a good thing?
It is, sometimes.
If you don’t need it every day
But sometimes don’t you just crave
To disappear within your mind
You never know what you might find
So come and spend some time with me
And we will spend it all at sea...

FINALLYYYY a new post!! oh my goodness angie gurl i was wondering if you had falled off the face of the earth!!!

OOH and Happy Friendship Day...its 265 days a yearrrr~~
Good one --- The last few lines were just too apt and amazing
and I love that song too
@mit
I sometimes meet my old teachers from school and they go "Ashish! How are you?" And they always tell me "Yours was the best batch we had. The kids these days...." :D
Tell us more of the fish out of water stories!
Hmm.. yes yes.. fish outta water you.. tell us more why wont ya !!!
ok.. err that was 365... i seem to be sleeping the others away.
Absolutely identify with the teacher thing. Even happened when I went back to college a couple of weeks and I got out just a month and a half ago.
@GrrL: me still here, disappeared within my mind, though... ;)
@Loonie: All are doing good (without us, can you BELIEVE it??) princi same ;)was a fun day!!and missed ya >:D<
@ @mit: yeah, great song!
@Jax: Yeah, that 'best-batch' thing...lol
err, about the fish-out-of-water thing...hmmmm
@Vig: SURE, why not!
@Grrl: ;))
@Aditya: yeah, guess it's all too common...
Heyyyyyyyyy New Post
My teachers think I am crazy I give up
Wow....new post!! I havn't seen my teachers in a long while...but according to the reports my friends give me, the most common refrain seems to be "Yours was the best batch we ever had"...do they tell this to everyone, or is it a pan-cultural thing? ;-)
Some days are lovely, days that you can never forget, days that you'll treasure...I see Friendship Day was one such for you...
Good going, and keep posting...
I think Amit is right! But that's what we go there for! They aren't supposed to be saying aything but that. You know, it isn't manners to be rude to old students, however rude they might have been while they were students!
I know exactly what you mean about meeting teachers. Jaw hurting experience.
Disappear within my mind, all the while clawing and screaming, scratching at my thick skull trying to get out ...
