I had hoped that I start afresh, mark a new beginning today, which I sort of did. I read the papers for a bit then started reading a novel, which hopefully should keep me engaged for a while. I also read up a little more on my dissertation topic, and tomorrow without fail, i have to write to a few people who could help me find some communication techniques and tools around climate change symptoms, consequences and solutions in India.
I started reading 'the Namesake' by Jhumpa Lahiri and it is a rather interesting book so far. I have seen the movie and that seems very differently treated. But I have observed one thing, a book like a good song also can only grow on you. I mean only very few books of the very few books I have read in my life have a totally gripping, unputdownable sort of a beginning. Ofcourse it's only a matter of a few pages that it becomes much more wanted to be read.
Even the papers, that I started to read properly today. I feel I can hardly say and explain financial phenomenon about which I read to people, even though I'd read something on it only very recently. But I think it's also got to do with all these economical and political and financial or a combination of two or more of these things and issues. One would never know, what is the trigger and what is the consequence. Whether the price is affecting the demand or vice-versa. On top of that there are a plethora of sentiments and a hundred theories that people come out with. On top of that, there are all these stupid jargons such as equity, sub-prime crises, mortgage, repo rate and the reverse of it, CRR, appreciation and depreciation of currency and one just doesn't know what is a result of what or what precedes or follows what. Ofcourse a lot of times, it's a vicious circle and everything affects everything else. I'm sorry for being vague, but i'm that because my understanding of these vague things is vague.
Ya, so then I helped some of these alumni committee guys with a little work they had. I did that with a heavy heart because I wanted to spend my afternoon doing a lot of different things. But I think one of God's eyes registered it, and I should be rewarded. It won't be unnoticed or unrewarded or wasted I'm sure. But I don't think my god believes in 'fal for karm'. Atleast that's his excuse for getting much work and dispensing fewer rewards. But I shouldn't be saying this, because I'm eternally thankful to him for giving me these beautiful days. And I don't think I should complain anyway. It's not like I do a lot of work with or without any appreciation. For the fear of not getting any, I don't keep working only. But anyhow, I worked for them through the evening, playing badminton for a bit, came back, had just started to read when Nerdy came and pulled me to our favourite Italian restaurant Upper Crust in Ahmedabad.
It is one of the more liked, small little place that serves very very nice, appetizing, filling platters of authentic Italian food. I go there every now and then when I want to eat really well, take adventurous gastronomic trips, and spend a lot. One would wonder if anyone would like to do the latter. But believe me we go there with full knowing that we would be much worse-off after eating there. Nevertheless I go there and totally eat my organs out. I got some packed and I think I should go there after finishing this and eat the rest of my fill.
While we came back in an auto from the place, we listened to these loud, dancy numbers and we totally wanted to party. I think that when we're in the groove, we begin to love everything we like and hate everything we dislike. But ya that's what this kind of groove does to you, it makes you party and party.
I'm already really really sleepy and I must really really sleep. That reminds me of a famous quote, when a certain someone said- 'Sleep na. You should really sleep. How can you not want to sleep? Imagine you're in an auto and just sleep.' And so here I'm imagining im in one, and here I go with the hope that oh my dear god gave me another fulfilling day tomorrow.
Later
