Laborious life

A week of drudgery at work, ennui everywhere else - everything seems to have come to a standstill..

I don't feel good, I don't like/dislike anything, I am just a part of the puzzle in an assembly line.

How long will the Floyds, Dylans and Morrisons stand by me?


And I am you and what I see is me..

My first

DSLR [ Canon Rebel T1i ] is waiting for me somewhere in an Amazon store in the USA
[thanks to SB] - 11th Jan is the expected date of arrival in his hands.

Am awaiting his [ rather his luggages' ] safe return.

Momentous day..

Delhi-Dehradun-Roorkee

3/12/9
0615: The meru cab driver in accentuated kannada/hindi best known to him screams over the phone about my address..

0705: I am on my way, sleepy eyes, wet hair from the remains of an incomplete bath.

0815: BIAL

0900: Reading about the best Peking Duck haunt in China courtesy the latest issue of the Outlook Traveler and dreaming about butter chicken in Delhi/Roorkee [foo-llucinating]

0955: Kambakht Ishq, I would say Kambakht Kismat since KI is the only movie running aboard my Kingfisher flight; here my iPod comes to the rescue.

1355: Terminal 1D at Delhi airport can be accessed only by lifts, no wonder PKR had nice things to say about it ;). Muchhar Singh from CISF says the boarding pass printout from the Kingfisher kiosk needs to be stamped by the airlines, I argue there had been no need when I had boarded at Bangalore, but to no avail.

(to be contd...)

Paperback Rider

Another trip - Bombay this time - another paperback to read through.

Every trip is as much as joy as pain. Another 3 years and nobody will be around PG, CJ, MS, KKD, MB and everybody else will be gone - swallowed up in TIME.

The End cometh

But, the Paperback Rider doth ride on..

Here and there..

Three long weekends, one has almost lazed by :) what do I do with the other two? Goa? Pune? Kerala?

I don't feel like doing much, in fact I dont feel like writing further..

The week in sports

Work and laziness have conspired to keep me away while much has happened. After the promising start to the season Arsenal have lots to both Manchester clubs in the space of one week - playing better football than both teams but lacking the incisiveness and luck to score out their opponents.

The US Open has been exciting - Murray and Roddick the surprise early exits among the top seeds while the rest have managed to hold fort albeit a few scares.

Excitingly Sutil has P-2 in todays Monza GP behind Hamilton and ahead of Raikkonen - go Adrian show Giancarlo what he is missing !!

Ohh I almost ignored this, but England ignored Croatia in scoring a 5-1 victory at Wembley last Wednesday - which went some way in resurrecting "English" pride after the ignominy of failing to qualify for Euro when they suffered defeat at the hands of Croatia on the same pitch two years ago.

As the river flows..

So does time..but I seem to be getting nowhere.

I still have the same questions - yet no answers on the horizon.
