Romantically she decided that love must surely reside in the gap between desire and fulfillment, in the lack, not the contentment. Love was the ache, the anticipation, the retreat, everything around it but the emotion itself.

I have to admit running is the most boring sport ever.

It's the season to stay home, watch movies, drink tea and eat pakoras.

The maid didn't come in yesterday
My mother grumbling about no end leaves with my father on some work
A while later the bell rings. It's none other than our one and only Selvy. For those who haven't figured it out, the maid.
"Why so late?" I want to know. Trying to explain to her that it throws everybody off course if she doesn't turn up.
"Pepsi bottle ma, [Tamil, tamil, tamil, which I don't understand] Pepsi."

"Huh?" (that's me trying to figure out what Pepsi has to do with her being late)

I finally get the story from her. Below:

Selvy per usual is needling her husband saying "Drunkard, drunkard, you're nothing but a drunkard."
Her husband says "Here Selvy have some Pepsi. I insist."
Selvy quite happy at the prospect of this treat, gulps it down.
Little does she know that the Pepsi has been laced and quite heavily with BRANDY, if you please.
So drunk Selvy couldn't get up in the morning.
And THAT everybody is why she came in late to work.

Has to be the funniest thing I heard all day.
I think she deserves a category all for her self.

Always indicate to your manager that you need more time to accomplish something than you actually do.
That way you can finish it on time and announce that you finished it early.

Some relaxation after bouldering on the other side of the river


Exploring. A well we walked into while searching for cave paintings in Anegudi
There were markings at a certain level along the wall.
On one side of the wall approximately where we're standing there was a circle, presumably the full moon. On the other side a half moon and a fish next to it.

My sister always said that my biggest sin was convenience.

I don't want to be here. This way. I just don't. I want to be in an easier place.

The thing about secrets is you can't keep them unless you tell at least one other person. It's too much pressure.

The whole room saw what their minds told them was correct.
I was the only one who saw differently. Saw what was actually there.

The setting was almost exactly the same. Just the People were different. And they spoke with American accents. Glaring differences one might say from our Indian skin and accents.

Still, everybody insisted I was wrong.
Even though I wasn't.

I might as well have been wrong.
And I was, until somebody who also had basic observation skills realized what the debate was about and backed my observation.

I hadn't wasted too much time arguing, determining as it clearly was, a waste of time.
