As days go by...

Well have been planning on writing since the day before yesterday and haven't been able to.

Did not go to the gym on any of the gone by days in the week :(

Did make significant progress in Atlas Shrugged (am giving myself a deserved pat on the back for that one)

Did cook dinner one night, actually have to cook tonight too

Did see a movie yesterday with a friend and met up with two most annoying people i know (who can also be sweet IF they want to)

Actually considering that half of the week is yet to go, me happy with the way things are going

Who is John Galt?!?!?!

Ever tried reading a book that holds your attention for as long as it wants and then once you take a break you are unable to get back to the book… that’s exactly what is happening to me. Have been trying to read this publication of the author for over 7 months now. Had finished about two parts of the book and then had stopped. It took me 3 months to pick up the book again and when I did I had to start all over again. And I came to the exact same point in the book and I had to take a break (not intentional though) Its been a fortnight since that happened and I haven’t been able to go beyond a single page after that…

Its not that I don’t have the time… I actually have all the time in the world, but it is still happening. I love the way Ayn Rand has etched the character of Daggny Taggart. She is strong willed – many a times stubborn, sure of her self (cocky would have the word), liberated for a woman in her times but at the same time very naïve about the world and its ways (at least she is now lets see what happens at the end of the book). She reminds me of another favorite fictional sketch – Scarlett O’ Hara. She is pretty much similar to the character of Daggny. That’s motivation enough for me to pick up the book… then why???????????

I mean going to the gym is easier than reading the book right now and believe me that’s a huge thing to do… (Going to the gym I mean) Oh yes on that note I am going to the gym regularly and if I don’t face any unfortunate series of events I should be able to say the same at the end of next week too (he he he)

Now diverting from the issue at hand, I found out today that I have another avid reader of my blog – actually who am I kidding – to quote his exact words he sometimes reads my blog (that’s good enough for me). N yes wanted to say thank you to the others who have read my blog and commented (am talking about people I don’t know) I found these comments so late that I dint know if I should reply to them or not – so anyways thank you.

Some more of my favourite pics :)

Rang Barse....

I absolutely love Holi…. It has not been the same every time. When we were kids we played Holi along with our didi’s and bhaiyas they had sooo much fun, in those days coming to the colony for Holi was the best fun ever. Every one congregated at the park and had fun. There would be the usual music, mithai and lots and lots of colors…..

But as time passed by all the didis and bhaiyas left and now we come under that category and unfortunately not many of there actually I find myself quite alone…. This year I asked my brother to invite his friends over… n boy did we have fun!!! Akshat n I got up early and filled up these small balloons with water – took us about 2 hours to fill around 80 or 90 of them. Every time one of his friends came over we would hit them with the water balloons (we missed half of the time though... he... he...)

By 12.30 I was completely exhausted and all I could think of was to get cleaned and so I left my brother and his friends to enjoy…. A long bath and a good lunch and haven’t slept so soundly in such a long time…. (It was bliss)

Of course what’s Holi without the gujiyas and the kanji wadas (yummy)… mom is awesome in this department ….. N yes by now its high time I hit the gym… have had a long vacation by now (strangely I don’t feel too guilty about it though)
