Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. – Mark Twain.

Day Light Saving makes no sense to me. You advance your clocks and you pretend its some time you want it to be? Rubbish! Sometime back I attended a seminar on cultural differences between the east and the west. And this is one of the points the speaker had brought up. That Indians live by the biological clock while in the west it is mechanical. And that in India everything follows a cycle, the day follows the night and so on. Which is why we tend to be relaxed about timelines, its not the end for us theres always tomorrow. I agree to some extent but he was bang on about the biological clock. Every morning the alarm on my clock screams it is 7 but my body clock refuses to believe it because it only 6! As I struggle every morning I wonder what the effect of DST be in India, if implemented. How do you tell 1 billion people to advance their clocks? The chaos and confusion it would create....And another excuse to tell your boss why you are late 'I forgot to advance my clock'.

Note to myself.
Never check your office mail on a Saturday night. Especially if you are away from home.

In the country which spans two continents (stole this term from somebody) for a second time. Alone. For a much longer time. Surprisingly doing well. Two things I thought would get to me, loneliness and work pressure. I was wrong, it is second hand smoke and non availability of mom's tea. Surviving on cheese and chocolates. Feel like eating dosa. Was at a concert by a local band, good fun. Almost saw snow. Thin layer of ice actually. In a wi-fi enabled room. And I get fox sports, which means I get to see all the drama that has unfolded this world cup. If I choose to watch that is. More later.
Yakshalmar. (Good day!)

Kavya Vishwanathan in the making...
This is hilarious...I had to blog about it. I get a message from a very close friend of mine saying a common friend had flicked lines from the testimonial she had written for me on orkut while writng a testimonial for someone else . Intrigued, I see the testimonial, and its true. Same lines, not just that other lines are from other testimonials written for me. Hhhaaaaaaaaaahahah!!! I must share a lot in common with this female on whom the testimonial was written. Hehe! Orkut is fun for more than the obvious reasons.

You didn't really think I was gone...
..did you? Of course you knew I would come back, ramble like always do about the interesting and not so interesting details of my normally boring life. Well, you are right. The break was more than welcome but nothings changed. Except who would have known Sharukh would do a good job on KBC? And that Karan Johar and SRK would share notes on being TV hosts? Coffee with Karan is back! I am not denying I am excited to see him back. Less Blogging only translated to more TV viewing as you might have guessed, so I decided it was time I blogged. Before I forget, I must say I can now cross off Delhi, Agra and Punjab from my list of must see places. Next stop is Orissa, friends marriage gives the perfect excuse. :D. Rajasthan will have to wait. Oh, did you notice anything new? Look, who has been signing all my posts. That's me alright. I figured using a positive sounding blog name will probably do wonders to my self esteem. Also it creates the illusion that I might be doing something great while in reality I am just waiting for my mom to call me for dinner. No, I am not seeing a shrink. Not yet! And while I reserve my comments on the Cauvery judgement (mostly, because I have none) I pledge to be more careful with water from now on. Save water!
Boy, I am glad I got all that out. I had been dying to talk to you. I can hear her now, its time for dinner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
