wedenessday blues

The day started out with me making lunch to take with me... then i don't know how the lunch, rice rajma and all flew at me and fell all over me and the kitchen... the perfect trajectory to create the maximum disaster... ok... so i changed... put as much perfume as i could to make me smell less like a walking rajma-rice... and ran to catch the bus... wonder of all wonder!!! i actually got the bus... of course because it was late... which just means that i was late for class... i entered all sweaty and red and smelling like indian spices and not indian perfume... they really do not go well together... trust me!!!!!

After due time, the class was over... it was almost lunch time... so poor me without lunch went and had soup... we have a really good soup place... but disaster strikes again... the soup was made of cucumber!!! how was i supposed to know that from the really exotic name?! anyway had the cucumber broth... came and started working... o i am paid (really a meager salary) to write a couple of codes for some quantum chem thingey... all irrelevant and theoretical stuff about a make belief world my friends tell me... but anyway i started working... and soon i had three versions of the same code none of which compiles... oh no... one of them compiles... and gives me a wrong result... did i say result?! no ... actually it gives me a segmentation fault... and i am still deciding which version is the one that i should start working on... and in the meantime writing this blog...

and today is a wednessday... which means i am so very tired from the almost three weekdays... and weekend is still so far away!!!!!! sigh!!!!!!!!

tea

of late i have taken to experimenting different kind of tea... actually, i have this friend who treated me to some turkish herbal tea which is made of apple tea, ginger and some flower and i simply loved it... and now i have found out this online tea shopping site called teavana... there are tons of exciting combinations that i never thought possible...

and oh! i have fallen in love with jasmine tea... and the last day i went grocery shopping the shop actually did not have jasmine tea... and i am out of it... and i think i am going to die without it...

i think i am getting addicted to tea... i should try to not have tea for sometime... but then is it worth it?! i wonder!

driving...

i have come to the conclusion that i HAVE to learn driving and endanger the lives of all forms of life moving or not moving on the streets and maybe not even on the streets...

well, this place really has no proper public transport system... the name carpool sounds distant and uncomfortable to most people... and there is no concern about the massive wastage of fuel that is going on to support comfortable (?!) and personalized transport... therefore, i have learn driving... and well, i have been known as a dangerous species on a bike... i get to be even more dangerous in a car... that's the only thought that is kind of making me feel a bit happy these days...
