so I had a fairly lazy day today. I have lots of such days this year in college. Also because we have a bouquet of subjects to choose from in the second year, so when we don't have electives, and when we don't have that stupid albatross in the form of some dissertation deadline, the research proposal or defense or something, then we're usually chilling only.
I wrote a couple of important emails to some important people who could help me with stuff with my dissertation. They are people concerned with 'climate change in India'. I don't know how far they can help me, but I've still tried my bit. I do know though that they're very very passionate about climate agendas. I also am, but I like to rest and chill more I think.
So ya, according to my resolution of reading more, I tried to read but some unfortunate things happened. Like my paper didn't come today. So couldn't read that. I also couldn't read the book much because I was chilling with different people most of the day. And I wasn't talking about something that was going to affect our lives so much, but more about the smaller, more regular small talk.
Anyhow, then I played badminton. A rather good game it was. For sometime I did not have to think about all the politics and unfairness that we have to deal with on the court, but purely on the game. Every shot was very measured because me and Tan played with two really really strong players, who were also very competitive. So i don't think there was a lot of scope for casualty on court. But ya, that we kept in mind and played as best as we could. We still lost, after giving a really tough fight. But never mind that. In my college, people play baddy all the time. So one must see people fight at the peak hours, like they scramble in the local trains. They apply new logics and reasons why they should be allowed to play everyday. I think I maintain just one. Let me play, come what may :D kya poem hai.
Anyhow, I had some nice tea and snacks and since then have spoken to many people over the phone. I spoke to Minkie for sometime. We spoke for quite a bit, reminiscing about a lot of old times. We do that a lot . Talk about . But it's all a lot of fun, because invariably we discover new things that happened in school or sometime else around a highly-discussed event.
So ya, we spoke for quite a bit, thinking about what the near and the distant future might hold. That also is a lot of good fun because we come out with some brilliant theories and flaky possibilities which totally crease me.
Then I spoke to Zoo, with whom I discussed a lot of family and marriage blues. Lately I've increased the time I spend with her over the phone. We discuss o lot of things, including theater, life in Mumbai, new places to eat, new places to chill, new books to read, parents, places and marriage. And then I wished a friend happy birthday, who I have a feeling will stay up all night taking calls from people.
And while I am writing this, I can hear a lot of people totally larking about. On the left, from the courtyard and on the right, from the garden, people are just making lots of merry, because of the lack of work and classes tomorrow. I still have some work. I have to do some pre-reads for a couple of classes in the evening and afternoon. I have a script to read for some play audition for which I'm sure I'm going to founder completely. Actually I'm not the acting kinds. Nevertheless, let's give this one a shot too. So that's that. Au revoir.
Later
