Touchwood! It is a good thing!

This one was a real long weekend for me.. I had been desperately wishing for one.

Having one, three days straight are enough to drive me back to work. The same everyone missed me!! They feel my absence!!

Don’t know what to make of it. Wow suddenly the world seems to revolve around me. Goose Bumps!!

On reading

As the title already says the post is about books. I have a raffle going with books.

I do feel my reading is in bursts. There are days when I don’t touch anything. And other times when I start feeling that it has been forever since I read. I want to grow a more regular way of reading. The past few weeks have kept me really occupied. Between house hunt, work, and helping Divya, I did manage to read something withal in snippets.

House hunt reminds me, I have finally relocated to my new apartment. There is little else to say except that I have enough tending to do to make it home like. So for the present, given the lack of time and energy to shop I put off honoring my plans and whims.

With no internet I can have some sustained reading time now. Last evening I was talking to my house-mate about her reading habits. I adore reading and more the people who read. She is just learning English and has a nice collection of all English classics.

I like discussing books. It is nice to talk to people about the books they read/have read. What have I been reading?

Captain Corelli’s Mandolin by Louis de Bernières. The story is set in Greece in the days of second world war. There are some frivolous elements to it but presents a good slow-moving literary work..

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. The book revolves around only two people though personally I would have preferred more characters. The beginning specially arrests attention and later the story moves smoothly.  A simple story in the 19th century grandeur English. Perhaps the ending could have been a bit different..

Wuthering Heights from Emily Brontë. I love the way it is called. The book is baffling in the beginning particularly the names of the characters. It is a story within a story well written rather well told..

What am I reading?

1984, The Iliad, Guesstimation, and The Selfish Gene.

I delight myself seeing the list

Unwonted light mood

I am being gay today.

- with summer it is such that all the bottled energy is set loose

- perhaps the compliment ‘You look lovely’ really brightened me up

- the simple mail from that simple someone was so unexpected

- or weekend well spent staying home, reading, sleeping, talking and making plans must have rendered me to such gaiety

So basking I am. As the post title  says ..it has become already such a rare indulgence.

I am not here chronicling any of the melancholies of life. To life it is simply as great as it always is even with the fact that nothing is in place at present. I am still on looking for a new apartment. This is the only errand on weekends now. Anyway the coming two weeks is an uncalled break to my house hunt.

I have to get back to work. Before that a moment to appreciate the earthy treasures around… yes happiness is something I demand from life. Ok enough of my philosophy!!

Wonder why MY origami is valuable?

Simple… labor leads to love. As explained it is the IKEA effect.

So true. Of course I price all the origami’s I make no less to any expert’s. That explains why have I been preserving everything I and my friend made. Though it is obvious alright.

It is overpowering to see people perceiving such extraordinary ideas. A friend pointed out these Harvard’s Breakthrough Ideas. Today did I read them. And to you, thanks it was a good read.

Off topic, what is it with me and coincidences? Too many c0-occurrences lately.  It rings so crazy. Yesterday I was toying with the idea of buying furniture. Very soon I have to move out of my present residence and am still indecisive about taking up a furnished or unfurnished apartment. It is really good that you buy the furniture in parts rather the whole assembled thing from IKEA. Mainly it is easier to transport.

But there is a whole different consumer-behavior-perception to it.

WOW! I wrote this post in 7 mins. Partly beacuse I have to run home and partly I am keeping someone waiting.

I dearly wish…

our time together be more than a single conversation!

Looking in.. Looking out..

Watching people come and go by must be ones binding past time if that one has to travel say an hour to office daily.

In my case ..also the fact pieced together that I am neither reading.

The place where I work is a techno park (understand it as lot of guys travel with me). Even with Germany posing a higher female demographics, it is surprising to have mostly males working in technology.

Like at all having mentioned that, a friend of mine said.. women are not programmers (meaning good programmers). And so they play smart only doing things they can do. I wonder!

Anyway I am here to record my recent passive attraction. Definitely a well carrying guy. Active and existent. Of late very often we travel at the same time. So I see him frequently but never making it explicit.

Today afternoon I went to the city-center mall to have my lunch. This guy walked out of the mall. Only subconsciously I saw him coming out. Whatever I walked ahead without giving any notice of having seen him. He did the same ..at least I thought so.

And before entering the mall, I looked back intentionally ..and there he turned around as well. Right then.

Gosh!!! I am caught furtiving. He really knocked the wind out my sail. I stood watching. It was indeed my most dumb moment. Whatever he gave a pleasing grin… from a good looking guy he definitely now votes as a GORGEOUS guy.

Hereafter I should stop attempting checking out guys.  Best of all is when I will see him tomorrow or some other day in the train.

PS1: Rightly so.. suddenly seems there are lot of good looking guys around me.

PS2: I must be affected foolish… devoted a whole post to him.

The inside reflections

Talking to you today… you touched a raw nerve… the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Now I wonder if what I wanted was to talk. I know the thing I need to do is to go on. Yet I hesitate if only in my own mind… tired (sometimes thoughts are exhausting) to understand and believe it.

Thanks to a lazy day and an escaping mind!! You couldn’t otherwise possibly get away with posting anything useless.
