At my bus stop today, I happened to notice a big bright star that hung right above a shop that I passed by everyday...twice. "Merry Christmas" was written on it and it just occured to me that is has been 5 days since Christmas, so probably the Big bright star was hanging there since 5 days and I had not even cared to notice it. Too Bad. I chided myself on behaving like a robot [ trained to go to the bus stop and back] and not look at my super-human mumbai surroundings.
Read "five point someone" and its an absolutely fantastic and hilarious book. Started reading it in the local train on my way back home. Just 3 pages into the book and I was laughing loudly with all the fellow "inmates" of my compartment looking at me as if I was from Mars :) But the book is just outstanding in its narration and you feel so much a part of the story. well, I felt extra close because of the "Neha" character :)
Have started reading "Veronika decides to die". Lets see why.
Plan to catch up on TV on new year's eve like I used to when I was in boarding school. It would be such a big affair- getting to watch TV the whole night.We would come and sit in the TV room a little before 10pm so that we caught just the right places. It was difficult to get a good view of the TV when you are sitting 6 ft below it....but that rarely was a concern for those woh missed the "right" places :) we would be just happy to get a glimpse of the long forgotten "DD Metro". And now I come to realise how much I miss school.Every small thing excited us...
